live school board looking after its
children.
No. IA. COmegys, in St. Jones Neck
near Dover, was in charge of Flor
ence Slaughter, and good conditions
also prevailed there. Three new desks
additional would be very useful dur
ling the winter period of school.
No. 10. Fair View. near Hartley,
under the care of Nettie Moore was in
good condition. A sheet-irOn shield
had been placed around the stove. 1t
should be painted both inside and out.
No. IS. Mt Willow. Has fair
grounds. clean toilets, good furni-
ture, a new pump, and fair sanitary
conditions in the school room. The
chimney needs repairs, but a new
school building would be the best way
to make repairs. The district is
able to build a proper school build
No. II. Chestnut Grove. Has fair
grounds, the outbuildings need re-
pair, the furniture is good, the sani-
tary conditions in the school were
fair. Nothing has been done since
last inspection. This school should
have a heating and ventilating sys-
tenn for the health and comfort Of the
children.
No. Is, 50, 90, 81, %, 1O1. Town of
Dover. These large schools require
but little attention from the County
Commission; but at the time of our
visit, the toilets in the boys depart
ment were out of order and showed
that closer attention should have been
given by either the janitor or the
or both. They have since
been put in order.
No. 20. Oak Point. west from Wy
oming was in charge Of Miss Clara
Benioff and it has good grounds, good
good furniture and very
good sanitary conditions in the school
ROOM Thirty children were present
in a room approximately twenty feet
square. and three children now sit in
one seat intended for only two to sit
upon. In the winter there were forty
five children in the room at one time,
This district must have an addition
this summer to the building and put
in a heating and ventilating system
Tor the school and for the benefit and
of the health of the chill
lren. The atmosphere of the room
with the door open at the time of our !
visit was decidedly bad. This school |
S condemned under it's present con-
litions for school purposes. If the |
State money is to be used.
No. 21. Oak Shade, west from Wy
,ming and near the Aims House of |
Kent County. is always in good con-
litiOn. and this time Miss Sadie E /
Slay had it up to its usual standard. !
Nothing to recommend.
Nos. %. 2216, 80. Town of Camden.
which has recently consolidated un-
Ter the laws passed by the last leg
stature, with the town of Wyoming. |
they are arranging to build a modern
chool building jointly. These schools
we're satisfactory.

No. "a. Petersburg. Located west
rom Wyoming This school and the
ommunity would be greatly benefit
ed by Parent-Teachers Association
leetings. Miss Mary Cameron is in
barge and has kept the school in
cry good sanitary condition. There
ere no improvements since the last

Tended them to paint inside and out

lstalled in addition to the painting, !

Ounty Commission will be compelled !
} call a halt on the commissioners
this particular school.
No. 25. DuPOnts. Also near Wyo-
ing and in charge of Elizabeth Tay- q
II. was in good condition. Concrete
alks had been laid since the last in T
)ectiOn. It needs a coat of light =
lint on the inside and in the vesti- f
lie.
No. 26. Town of Canterbury. This c
hOol was once the pride of Mr.. Il
lrchenal, but since his activity
ased, it has gone backwards rapid s
. The grounds are still in good r.
as are the outbuildings and

Nos. % and 122. Rising Sun, or Sc
banon School has been one of the
st rural schools of four rooms in 81

ectiOn it held its record well. A IL

Dund and to the toilets, which are is
some distance in the rear of the a
