a PLEA FOR SCHOOLS.

ALLOW me small space in your
paper to talk about a great subject
10 is the general understanding, /
believe, that Camden is to have a
school above the ordinary village
school
Allare in favor Of such a school,
but no one seems to know anything
aboutwhatwill be or how twill be,
SO / have concluded to offer o few
suggestions.
If at present we can not GET a
special district, then let us create a
school board, say Of ten or more
citizens, who shall organize a stock
company, with capital Of 1000
orSl, ,20O-enough to secure a corps
OF good teachers. Let them be en-
powered to secure such teachers.
Now, if we wait for all the adj
yantages we may be able to secure
later on, we may lose more than
we gain. Our best teachers are 60
ing to take up other good schools,
SO we may wake up to find ourselves
in a dilemma.
Remember, this is only a sugges-
tion. If you, or any Of you, have
anything better, let US hear from
you. To me this is a question that
must be disposed Of We may have
a call by the council soon to. dis
cuss and to adjust this matter.
