SCHOOL ELECTION.

According to the law passed by the

Monday is the day on which the election
should be held. In this district, as
there are no funds in the treasury with
which to pay the expenses OF tho cleo

Tested by the parents OF the children,
the present trustees, we understand,
have decided to let the election pass
and leave it to the County Superintend-
ent of Schools to appoint their success
sors. This seems to be the most sensi-
BILE course under the circumstances, but
il any are dissatisfied, the remedy is in
their own hands, as any three voters in
the district can secure an election by
posting a notice five days before the
date of the election.
The members of the present board,
Messrs. Sol Hip, f. NJ. Clark and DC.
Mcdonald, have held their Office by
appointment and have managed the af-
fairs OF the school economically, eff
ciently and to the entire satisfaction Of
the majority of the district. 1t is to be
hoped that they will be continued in
the office for another term.
