[ For the Bradford Reporter.] Educational. It a meeting of the Bradford County Teach ,.r< Association, held at Orwell Hill, on the stli ami hth instant, it was ordered and decreed that there be a committee of one male and one female appointed to prepare, or cause to be prepared, an article for the Reporter, upon the subject of popular education, once in two weeks; a |so a similar committee for the Argus. It was further ordered and decreed, that your humble servant should be one of said com mittee. \ o w, therefore, in accordance with said or der and with your assent, I will proceed to present to your readers a few thoughts, hints and suggestions, upon school house, their lo calitv, structure, arrangement and so forth. I am aware, that I am treading upon a delicate subject: every tax payer in the County, who has no children to educate, and who cares no thing for theeducatiou of the rising generation, onlv so far as that education will increase the actual value of lii.s property during his life time : I say every such person is ready to say, •ivhv, I do not see but our school house will a - -•.ver well enough for some years yet—it is us good as the one I went to school in." Now, although I may perchance tread upon the toes of some such person, I shall give my views plainly. First as to the locality of a district school liouse. The general practice is, to select a . piece of ground that is either in such a shape I that it is not worth fencing, or so poor that it will not pay for cultivating ; or else put the building in the corner where three or more roads cross each other, so as not to be obliged to pay anything for the site. Now, would the J inhabitants of any district select such a place j for their dwelling houses? When a man is j about to build a habitation for himself and j family, does he look for the poorest spot on hi- farm, because the land occupied by the Imuse will be rendered valueless for cultivation? j l!y mi means, the pleasantest ?}>ot on the farm ! i> selected. The place must be easy of access, | -ightlv, descending in the right direction, and j free from everything that shall in the least de- ; grec impair the beauty of the situation. Is it i not as important to have a pleasant, healthful j locality for the building in whicli the children and youth of successive generations are to re- ! ■ their education ? It is the duty of the inhabitants of every district to procure a lot in a convenient and pleasant part of the dis trict. of sufficient size to have large play grounds f"r both males and females, which grounds j -inmld he enclosed by a neat fence, and taste- , lully ornamented with trees and shrubbery. In selecting a location for a school house, refer- ■ us e should be had to the convenience of ob- I taming pure water ; and if no spring is near, i a well should be dug and furnished with buck ets, so that the scholars will not be obliged to 1 gu a great distance to procure drink, or suffer with thirst, or trouble the neighbors. It is sufficiently annoying to those residing in the immediate vicinity uf the school house to hear the noise, without being troubled by the scholars | constant ly running to the well to get water— j perhaps frequently leaving open a gate, or do ; ing more or less injury to the fixtures of the! : well, or iu some way annoying and perplexing [ the owner or his family. The place where our I youth are to spend their days in study ought I not to be by the road side, or in the angle be tween two roads, where they must be annoyed an.l disturbed by the noise and confusion of w utever may be passing in the streets, where tic nuul in wet, the dust in dry, weather ren ■ der- it impossible for them to enjoy their At least an acre of ground should belong to I • v> ry school house ; the land should lie ' superior attractions. The yards or |1 >y - 'l'm- should be divided by a high fence ; • would enable the girls and boys each to y their sports without interfering with each Instead of having the wood for win -Irs use lying in the streets, as is often the or small portions of it piled up in the en i"t there be a wood house attached to the house, or so near to it, that fuel can he 1 y procured from it in wet, muddy, or snowy -■ >er ; and let this building be so large that -U>rmy days the children will have some place than the school room in which they "" " n J°y their sports. school house should be without two pri- I - -situated as far from each other as the I- z ' "f the lot will allow. What man would I'' lie week permit around his own house, the -'ate of things in this respect, as exists ' 0" many of the school districts of this bi'mty. 'wended, Mr. Editor, to have spoken in '°iumunication, upon the structure of our ,' fl p'cs colleges hut as the article is al- j I •*s long as will be read by most of your r 'Ws, I will defer what I may have to | tar ,i J • c j n that subject till some future time.
