pose OF benefitting their own little chill
dfen' IL 10 now a case of meas urins
ores philanthropy by dollars and cents
hence the balance is found wanting.
Parent and wealty influential Cit zeus
assert that the Grammar School build
ing was good enough for their grand :
Iatners and themselves, therefore. ii
should be good enongh' for their chill
dfen. For the same IeasOn then, they
ought still to use wagons (the very
identical ones of their, forefathers) for
TRANSPORTATION instead OF trains. Do
they presume Thai Time has been kinder
TO their school house than 1T has been
to themselves? Many have never been
inside of 1t, since they have thrown
ASIDE the olue-speller, and every morn
ing send their children 10 school with
out the least idea OF its condition.
The few visitors who accept the pupils
invitations TO their morning exercises,
find each of the four rooms so full that
1t Is impossible to put in another desk.
In two of the rooms the teachers have
gwen up their own seats, and there are
ten pupils who depend ON the absence
OF others 10 get desk room. If they are
all present, the last enrolled are seated
on the front bench, crowding the teach
er INTO the fatherest corner, and having
10 rise and make themselves small when
ever class is sent TO the blackboard.
OnesOalf the boards are useless as the
pupils are seated too near them. 10
march the little ones out In al orderly
manner without SHINING their shins. or
falling over the stove, is the most dIf-
hcult problem to be solved by the teach
ers
Callstbenics, and recitations from
standing groups and the like are not to
be thought Of. There is no place to
have en- assemhlage OF the school; so
for morning exercises the audience is
invited Into the yard and the back-gal-
lery serves for d stage, Looking on the
teachers records, it is seen that one
hundred and seventy children have been
enrolled during the presenl session, and
the last monthly average of attendance
was one hundred and fifteen.
The doubling Thomas may conde-
scend to climb the bill, and convince
himself Of these facts.
For shame. that Natchitoches with
her fine bridge, handsome courthouse,
elegant stOres. luxurious residences. and |
club should allow the chill |
dren's special home to be so crowded, |
lily ventilated, improperly lighted, and |
heated.
