EST CORNWALL,

THE BEES ARTICLE SETS EN- TALKING.
The article on Educational Needs In
Gerawail," printed in last weeks BEE,
has created considerable argument, both
for and against; favorable and unfavor-
able. There is no doubt that the people
Of Cornwall needed general waking up,
but perhaps not so suddenly or harshly,
for fear of serious results. There seems
to be some one who has the good Of the
town at heart, a sort of second ssPro
Bono Publico" OF last winter, who want
ed to know 'What was the matter with
Cornwall?" Perhaps. in the light of this
article, we might say the need of better
educational facilities; but that would
take as back to the first idea-public en-
terprise. AT least the general Juror,
called down on the heads OF the school
board by the West Cornwall correspond
emit in the Connecticut Western News,
has had some result and the prospective
teachers in the town are to be examined,
this Friday.
