We were told when the school opened. there that the build had been put in good condition for same. -1 visited the school the day be- fore Thanksgiving, and aithough day was mnot cold for Nove not too warm in my co dren’s hands were too write in comfort. The big stoves were undecided burning faintly and taking a and neither stove would have burned my hand. Tt was in the morning, so there could have been no fire properly made that day, for there was not any | coals amd. the teacher was unable to make it burn. What, will they do a cold day? A few vears ago the doors in the schools’ in Moosup were changed to open out, to answer the law in regard to the doors of public buildings, but the door in the hall slides like that of a barn, and recently it got caught so that a child had to climb from a win- dow and down the rickety piazza roof after the janitor, who took his time in coming. , In the meantime the com- bined strength of teacher and children had opened the door for a small space and they were “called down” for send- ing: for him when not needed, also for breaking the door. *> There are at least three families un- der that sehool, and what if' the build- ing’ should take fire and the door stick? The law compels us to send our children to school, and does it not compe] the town to furnish a safe place? . Then the long outside stairs. They swayed: when I went up them, and T don’t weigh 200, and if I am not mis- taken they are the same ones that were voted unsafe for memorial exe- erciges to be held in the hall some years ago, but those children and the wish that every par- in the two teacher have carried . wood up them' this winter. Some of the children were - delighted- 4o “help the. janitor” for 10 Jents, and they were heartbroken when .they did not get it. Now the town pays a janitor and the children wash the blackboards, dust, help with the fires, bring a part of the wood and coal and water, and fill the ink wells, and if His salary is not enough to pay for willing service, make it more and sayve the teacher's nerves and the chil- . drgn's strength. 1ere {8 a great deal said about our new ‘school bullding, but there are five rooms that do not enjoy. its modern « comforts, and the academy was about ag thoroughly repaired as the hall, Now, if there should be a fire in one of, thoge bulldings and lives should he lost,” who would be responsible? “I did rot. knew" would be ne exeuse, for ge in charge do knew, or it is thelr ness to. < "winter T visited the prineipal's i /iy the academy, and the roem ¥Rt too’ warm, but some of the had to- move because of the heat from the big stove, and s8e how the pupils could “sit bind it with the pipes ever and study their lessons. 1 they can reciiz at all, o be ealled a busyb: and t I have en ‘think it is time them | The real | Ity | Olympic in time as they | spinning | 1 Sodality lyrie ild to the school in | ¢ visit | the | between | vacation | PBrownville, N.
