I Viola, No. 26, is two-roomed building
in very fair condition some glass is
broken and one corner of the foundations
need attention at once, while the Chin
ney is dangerous from bricks falling.
Blackboards and maps are satisfactory ;
but has neither pump or flag. Closets
are very ordinary and need cleaning.
No. l54 is a colored school at Woodside,
under the very poorest conditions posi-
bic. The house is not fit for a stable, and
yet 1t is rented by the district. 1t has
neither furniture, pump or closets. A

No. II is Woodside, where good two
story building of fine dimentious with
belfry, porch and pump room is well
cared for. The furniture lie sufficient and
well cared for, and the blackboards
are perfect. Has no map of Delaware,
and no flag. Closets are in fair condi-
ton only. The sanitary conditions of
floors and rooms were good.
No. l57 is the colored school near
Viola. The house is good, furniture
ordinary and the general conditions for
cleanliness excellent.
No. 70 is Rose Valley, west from Dover.
The house is well built. but one shutter
is off the furniture is excellent not
much blackboard space, but it is good.
Only map of the United States, and no
pump or flag The closets for girls is very
clean, and that for the boys is very dirty

PEELED to correct themselves by thorough
cleaning it was they who made it so. and
it right that they should make it decent.
No. p is known as Oak Shade, and is
near the County Almshouse. The build
ing is comparatively new with vestibule |
and much broken plaster. The boys are
permitted to batter the Notwithstanding !
and some of it missing. Parents should |
See that their particular child is not guilty
Of this particular work, or promptly re-
pair the damage done by their failure to
teach their children to care for property.
The furniture is old and carved with
knives, but part of this work is a relic
from other days plane would benefit
much Of this class of furniture. The
blackboards are of the very best have
maps, but they are not hung up; no
pump, use neighbours who objects to its
use flag or pole they never had. The
closets are in pile of ruins on one side,
and the other is in such a dilapidated and
nasty condition that it would be better to
be like the other. The boys of this school {
appear to have little home training aud
therefore are unruly in school : otherwise
the school conditions are good.
No. 25 is du Points. This house with
a little attention from the school COM
mittee would be first-class building but {
it is now not beyond criticism. The
chimney is shakey as the mortar has
washed from the bricks, the underpin-
ming needs repair at one corner, and the c
whole building should be painted. In c
terror is satisfactory with good black C
boards, which are well cared for, plenty
of maps on rolls, excellent pump of water S

closets in fine condition. The general v
conditions are good Miss Hawkins is the g
teacher. Has no flag. L
No. 152 is a colored school located west o
from Dover. The building was assited by
the State, but the district has done moth n
ing for itself. Step bad and there is no t.
of furniture other than benches t.
No maps, no flag, ordinary blackboard, CT
pump, and clean closets. Their church t.
nearby is well cared for, but there is little o.
support given to educating their children. a
