teacher at the company's expense and
not only has he had it operated as free
school but he has in a great measure
required the miners to send their child
rem to this school 1t is open 9 months

completing his second year reports the
work good. The public school directors
OF Dist 3 have also rendered some val

proach to a compulsory system ofeduca-
ton and it is said to be proving satisfac-
tory.
