 schools in the county. for it has had the same excellent teachers for some years and there has been opportunity for de- velopment under the same capable leader ship.
 Another large school has an old woe

 hill. Two of the teachers have their rooms upstairs in a fraternal ball. only a curtain separating the improvised class rooms. The stairs are on the outside and it requires skill and attention to get one's self safely up or down When the
 bottom is reached 1t is quite an accom- plishment to stand. for the grounds are so rough and steep that there is danger
 of rolling all the way down to the rail-
 read below, and playing games on that incline is out of the question. It seems
 such a pity that children must be sub 1ected to these inconveniences year by year. when a pretty sehoolhouse, with to the success of the teachers work This school has capable teachers, but their

 Under the second head came beauty and artistic arrangement of the school room interior, and use and general ap- pearance of the school grounds. Each of these two counted 20 points.
