been cleaned up and the closets in the
yard were in a greatly improved con
dition over that of last year. The
large halls were in better condition
they had been swept and appeared tC
have attention from the janitor. Con
crete had been placed at the entrance
at each side OF the school entrances
new rain spouts had been put on and
: stoves installed in each room and the
heating plant abandoned. The prOpO-
sition to consolidate Camden and Wy
oming is before the people and should
this become a fact, then the school
building would probably be either
moved or remOdeled to accommodate
the increased number of pupils; but
if nothing comes of that, then the
building could be made real hand
some by coat of live colOred paint
inside and out. They have two ladies
in the Board now, and that may ac-
count for the improvement.
No. %. SandtOWn, near Marydell,
was not visited.
No. p. Petersburg, near Wyoming,
was under the care of Mary Cameron,
and the interior was very clean. The
grounds were fair and the same can
/ be said of the outbuildings. The furn-
iture is old and should be replaced
with new. No Improvements had been
made. 1t should be painted inside and
out before school starts again.
No. p. DuPOnts, near Wyoming,
was under the care of Miss Mae
Moore, who was marked very good"
for inside and outside conditions of
her school. Since the last inspection
new toilet had been built A new
concrete step of wide dimensions
should replace the old one there now.
No. 26. Canterbury, near Viola.
This school is a hobby OF Mr. Birch
email, who resides close by, and who
attends TO its needs without any prod
ding. Miss Olive NJ. Wyatt and Myrtle
Cubbage teach the two rooms and
their interiors were very good. Since
last year the rooms had been newly
papered and painted When the old
platforms are removed and the new
blinds installed at tie windows there
will be nothing to suggest to those in
charge of the school.
No. - and 122. Lebanon, or Rising
Sun School. Prof. Moore, Miss Cath !
crime COnwell and Miss Annie McCaf- |
frey are the teachers. This is one OF |
the most progressive of Kent County |
schools, and the condition of the |
grounds, the buildings and the rooms /
themselves each spezz of efficiency in |
the teachers along all lines. New
floors have been placed in two of the |
rooms and the Tightening rods proper
ly connected since our last visit.
There were no suggestions to be
made.
No. 2S. Warrens, between Bowers
Beach and Frederick. Lillian Frazier
has kept good care of the property
for it was clean, and the outbuildings
in excellent condition, although 10
Gated directly along one of the most
used roads in the county at all sea-
sons of the year. A few repairs to
the ceiling is all that is needed.
No. 20. Jumps, near FELTON,. Miss
Arrabella Angstadt gets credit for
having a clean school yard, clean out
and very clean school
room. Nothing has been done to the

side should be light color.

No. 81. Pratt's Branch, between
'elton and Frederica, was in charge
II Miss Annie L. McKnatt, and the {
anitary conditions were very good.
There had been many improvements
ince the last inspection. The grounds {

toad Supervisor and the dirt used to
luild the widened part of the road {
way over the stream from which the {
chOOl takes its name, and this was a {
ecided improvement to the general L
ppearance of the grounds. New re- d
itation benches had been purchased, t
new floor placed in the room, and s
he interior painted cheerful color.
