REPORT OF‘ THE (Imm SCPEBIX-
The great civil contest of the nineteenth l
centuryishappily ended. ’l‘heinstrumcnts ‘
of war are fast iving way to the implements
of peaceful infusty. The surviving braves
who, a few years ago. went from among us
to do battle for their country, are but re
turning to engage once more in the peace
ful occupations of life. ‘
. By none will the restoration of peace be ‘
hailed with greater delight than by the
‘ people of this county. who, in common
with the people of other border counties, }
suffered far more than is generally known ,
to people living at a safer distance front the
l scene of liostitilities.
1 Welcome all, but thrice welcome home
i that noble band of teachers who, exchang
ting the pen for the sword, and yielding the
‘Tcomfm-ts and endcarments of home for the
' hardships and privations of the comp and
field, wont forth as champions for their
country’srhonor and their country's laws.
}‘ &Aool_Hmisea.—Eight new houses have
‘ been erected during the year, of which
number Union has five, and Butler, Cum
berland and Straban, each one. These are
i all ‘ood, commodious, substantial oneistory
buiizdings. Theyxare all brick, except one
i in Union; which is of stone. The location
'of these is in the main good. They are‘
: provided with good,though plain furniture,
: and ample black-board surface. They are
' not furnished with apparatus other than‘
this. The tubular report for this year, as
{well as former reports, will show that we
l have still quite a number of houses utterly
! 'unlit for the purpose for which thiey are
iused. Miserable.dilapidatedhshabbfi’hovels
‘ have been for years used.for school rposes

I is not within the recollection of the oldest

' of directors to study and practice economy
in relation to school all'airs; but a spirit of
falsejeccnotny, or of parsimony, should
incver lead them to to crate nuisances in
i the shape of school houses that are a bur
lesque on the name. While insome por

zeal manilested in the building of houses in

l tionably true that the ditl'erence of a few
I dollars in the cost of the ground, or in the
construction of the building, or a. few huu
idred yards in locating it, ma‘y materially
l effect the heatth, happiness, prosperity and
, success of many schools. _ .
i We are all greatly influenced by our aur
' roundiugs. In the neat and, well ordered
school room. surrounded by the beautiful

I see the beauty of neatness ind order. No
lessonsare more precious than the silent
teachings of the objects around them. On
the other hand. a dilapidated hovel of a
school house is a teacher of a verfdifl'erent
character. Some one has aptly styled it"a
corruptcr of youth.” It- not only confirms
the slovenly and vicious in their bad habits,
but even those accustomed to neatness and
regularity at home Will not fail to associate
their dreary and uncomfortable school

able in the world.aud their views of school
and its duties will soon, too, partake of the
same gloomy coloring. .
This being so it is a matter of great and
vital importance that directors who can

more houses be built on unattractive, out
ot the way patches of ground, which have
_ nothing to recommend them but cheapneu

This was the case in a mijoi-ity of districts.
As a consequence, private exninimtions
