two weeks vacation. The session from
now until the close is especially inter-
esting and important as on the work
accomplished depends the promotions
and diplomas. The directors are hav-
ing the old German Congregational
church building fitted into comfort
able school room and have engaged

tated by the large number of primary

1t is matter OF pride with this COM
munity that we have creditable and
excellent system OF education for the
young and unframed minds Of our
commonwealth. 1t is through and
along literary lines that the country
reaps its standard of citizenship. In
fact what is the great community OF
Christians but one OF the innumer-
able schools in the vast plan, which
the Creator has instituted for the edu-
cation of various intelligencies? The
solidity and foundation of our govern
ment depends upon the amount OF
learning possessed by those who up
hold it and the crumbling of emp Tres
follows the deterioration of knowledge
and advanced logic.
