SOME SCHOOLS AND THEIR TEACHERS,

| OoC SOUS ouCu pcCulldF impress
sions visiting schools. In one place
the room will be neat-no dust, dirt
or disorder visible. Pictures on
the walls. The corners relieved
with touches of beauty The chill
dren are workers. They have clean
hands and faces. They eat their
midday lunch like civilized beings.
If crumbs fall from their baskets or
desks, they are carefully swept up
and thrown on remote parts of the
school grounds to be used as food
for the birds.
In second school room only three
miles from the above, all is changed
The room is dirty. The window
sills and mouldings show the need
of care. The children seem unin-
terested in the schools. They eat
more like mild savages than like
American children. The refuse of
the monday lunch is left under
seats until perhaps the next sweep
ing of the room. The teacher com
plains and says, "Mr. Race, the
people here are so uncultured. |

the teacher.
How do you manage to get so
many things with which you have
to do your work." said as I step
ped into bright, CHEEKY rural
school. "Oh,' said the teacher, :"
1--WE have such progressive school
board. They get us what we really
need. No fads, Of course, but all
that you see they have given us
without begging"
Why are so many rural school
rooms of this county so attractive,
while the very grounds of these
rural schools are dreary wastes :?
The school grounds are treeless and
uuattractive. All school grounds
ought to be the beauty spots of their
neighborhood. If school trustees
and patrons would do as much to
beautify school grounds as teachers
do to beautify school-rooms, the
problem would soon be solved
No. %, the Grant school Brook
vile township, F. ]. Sheffield, clerk,
has voted to set out trees next
spring and to pay for the work, too.
Now, why not 80 other districts do
the same? Treeless school grounds
belong to the 10Th century. The
call of the Goth is for beauty.
There are more school rooms with
out thermometers than with them.
Yet two good thermometers ought
to be in every schoolroom.
A large number of our rural
schools still continue to heat with a
stove in the center of the room. No,
not heat-but to roast few of the
children while the majority suffer
from chilled feelings.
All teachers who wish to take adj
vantage of the holiday rate given to
teachers who wish to go home at
Christmas time, should at once Sc
cure from S. ]. Race a certificate, so
that the railroad agent can max
them holiday rate. These teachers
tickets will be on sale December
18th to 24th, good to return until

one-third regular fare.

A NEW POWER COMPANY.
To Dam the tiOOsick River at SchsshtieOks for
Electric Power.


The Schaghticoke Electric Company
has been incorporated by George E.
Greene of Hoosick Falls, l. f Gibson
of Bennington, f. II. Libby. Frank
H White and 81. j. Greene of Hoosick
Falls. The capital stock is $50, 900.
The main object of the company is
to develop water power about one
mile below Schaghticoke village, on
the Hoosick river. The river at that
point runs through deep narrow
gorge and winds around a peninsula
for over a mile, so that at the narrow
est point of land, or at the neck of the
peninsula, and on the south side, the
river flows within 300 feet Of its course
on the north side, but the fall between
the two points is 80 feet. The COM
pany proposes to tunnel this neck and
to build a dam 30 feet high just below
the tunnel, which will give 10 foot
had. 1t is claimed that 5000 H. P.
can be developed at a very moderate
expense.
A large amount of land and water
rights have already been acquired.
Four of the incorporators are direc-
tors Of the Bennington and Hoosick
Valley Railway Company, George E.
Greene being president of the latter
company, and the new project is close
ly allied with the electric railway and
its proposed extension to Troy.
