The contemplated closing of the
west road school for lack of funds to
pay the teacher is causing consider
able CONSERVATION among the par.
ents. The pupils in such case, will
be obliged to be transported the mile
and half or two miles TO the village
school In several cases the parents
feel the children are too young and
iran to endure the strenuous life in
a graded institution. But unless an
average of six pupils is maintained
we must forego the instruction so
excellently furnished by the teacher
OF the west road district. The names
OF the pupils in attendance last term
and who may reasonably be expected
to attend for some time in the future
are as follows: Louisa Ladd Miner
Gilbert Wayle Streeter Willie Kin.
ney, Alton Kent, Ruth Gilbert, Rob.
ert Kent and Rosine Nichols. Re.
sides these there are several children
in the district who have scarcely at
tanned school age but are rapidlv an
preaching the time to clamor for ad.
mission at the door Of learning but
who will still be considered by their
parents too young to be taken to the
village school to remain all day. We
trust some satisfactory solution OF
this problem will present itself and
that Mrs. Snyder will be found at her
desk when the spring term is an
nounced by the ringing bell.
