The Country Schools,

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Ir cad
the school talk Of Mr.. Dow of Monroe IN the
Journal land l suppose the schools have been
improving somewhat and in the thickly set
tied places the schoolhouses should be good.
But generally speaking-and my observation
extends only as far as l know-two-
thirds of the voters in sparsely settled towns
have no scholars, and that gives small
number to work up an interest in schools.
Besides the laws are so fixed now that the
voter is out of it and can only do what is
recommended as to schoolhouses, etc. So
far as l know this has been banner
year for poor attendance OF scholars in Pros
pect and Stockton. The greatest cause for
non attendance was whooping cough or fear
of it. Our officials seem to be interested
and have done their best, but parents were
ready to take their children out of school on
hearing of any of the ills of the human race.
