Somewhat novel plan of smuggling things

quite unable to sit down while creasing
the river 'on -the boat. We hopethis will

—The "'trustees of the -Model School will
soon be under the necessity of making an
addition to tha present school- building,
or providing it Primary school in some
other part Of the town, for the attendance
is really larger than can be accommodated
with room, or even receive justice at the .
hands of the teachers. On the day, the
sehool-openede-Miss Callender had an at-
tendance of over dile hundred, thirty of
these weee promoted to give her more
room, but every day since she has had an
average attendance of ninety.' This is too
Many. to expect any teacher to properly
look after. If more of them could lie pro-
moted it would not be so bad, but all the
other divisions arecrowded' also. The
trustees have for somo. time realized the
necessity of getting another teacher, but
the expense bas been the main preventa-
tive. As the town will this year receive
about $450 through it • being—a-L.110dd '
school, this objection is easily. overcome.
At any rate, something must be done, and
that at once. The school populations
