buildings and grounds about it 90, that
viii be found in the county 1t has three
scholars living in the district, and two
attend from an outside district. The
State pays S2O5.OO to educate three chill
dren here.
Big Oak, No. 4. here the general con-
diuons were very good, the property be-
ing well kept, we'll painted and Miss
Battery the teacher seems to be looking
after the SANITARY conditions. The lock
and step at the front door needs repairs
and the water closets need doors. This
is the part for the school committee to
look after; the teacher can't do every
thing
Cheswold. this handsome new concrete
building is credit to the community.
and the children seem to have responded
to the civic pride in general, and are
keeping the property in good condition
in every way. 1t pays to have and at
iractive school buildings; it raises the
IDEAS Of the children. it elevates the
moral tone Of the whole community, and
above all it creates a pride in the dis
tTict were such a school exists
Cheswold. colored schools were found |

LoeIswoods, No. 142, is a colored dis .,
rict that has made lots Of improvement =
b the past year by adding new furni- -
nre and new black boards. The building -
practically new -,
Wileys, No. 80. has made the repairs de
lggested at the lust visit. and the SCI

for their children to have to get an are

N modern comforts, could be built for ''''''
few more dollars expended for five 80. -,
