All persons who expect to teach in the schools of Cornwall, the coming year excepting such as hold state certifi- cates, will be examined by the school board at the school house in West Cornw on Saturday next. Let there be no discrimination or partislity in this duty but examine every person and then there can be no cause for criticism Miss Alice Murray leaves our village Friday and returns to her home in South Manchester. For the past two years she has been the principal of our school here and as such has proved her self to be an earnest, capable worker, one who never neglected duty owing to her pupils and who was e universal favorite to both large and small. She | ruled with the hand of love, those whom others have failed to rule with | the rod and during her two years of ex- | perience here she has had but one oc- casion to apply corporal punishment. Miss Murray has refused to accept the school the coming year, mainly because of the unsuitability of the school house which renders it entirely unftted for it's purpose.
