School Houses and Grounds.
n addition to what we said last week on the
struction find arrangement of the School
in. we now propose to notice a few more
age which require reform. ,
1. It has already been shown that the gov-
mnc-nt might be much better maintained,
here the seats/iire isolated. and that their
paration by means of aisles, securing free in-
ess and egress, prevents a vast amount of an-
3/ancc. both necessary and mischevons. This
rrangement is supported by the fact, that the
onomy of College education. allows that all
iidies should be prosecuted in private apart-
ients, free from distui-bance.
2. Easy nianagcmcnl of the school requires
In black-
oard exercises, and recilations gr.-uerally, this
'3. important. But in regard to disirijilizzc. it is
essential. The eye of the teacher may there
glance a silent admonition, and exhibit a vigi-
hat the seats should face one way.
lance always neceesary in rebuking the disor-
derly, quieting the uneasy. and anticipating
the wants of any. Many patrons of Common
Schools are not aware that the manngemeiit of
classes and individual pupils, has been very
much improved of late. For instance, ifa pu-
pil wants anything, he makes a noiseless sign
-by liftingthe hand, or a pen. or a book. It is
evident, that in order to facilitate this and all
other coininuiiicat.ioiis, the teacher should be
able to comprelieiid tlie.,.whole by looking in one
main direction, and that, too, directly in the face
of his pupils. In the best ordered schools, the
teacher seldom leaves his position on the plat-
form, having behind him an ample black-board,
(a very important auxiliary in recitatioiis.) and
thither the individual pupil, and most of the
classes repair when recitation or any other pur-
pose makes it necessary. At the same time
the teacher can give those remote from him,
the benefit of his eye. Thus operations are
carried on with comparative silence. The
isolation of seats. cuts off much whispering.
and the regulations above named prevent much
noise; some even, that was necessary under
the old system.
3. Decency and personal propriety require re-
form. F or example, what mother would per-
mit. her daughter to do in the family at home,
what many young girls do in School. viz:
throwing their feet back and forth over the
seat many times a day, to use the desk behind
them‘! So bad is the construction of many
School rooms in Norwalk, that such a thing
ciiii hardly be done by any female pupil with
entire propriety.
I_n regard to the grounds. more can do done
to promote morals and common decency, than
people are commonly aware of. Let the walj
thatseparates the male and female play grounds.
also separate the paths that lead to the out
buildings, and some good service will be render-
ed to the cause.
4. Ifcall/L requires reform. Many times the
parent supposes that study does not agree with
the child. when the real cause of the achitngv
or dizziness of the head, exists in the hot and
vitiated air of a room not properly ventilated.
The writer will stand indemnity for a war-
rant. that sliuiy will agree much better with
the pupil in a room of proper height and dimen-
sions, and well ventilated,than in many asthey
now exist. The principles of ventilation, and
the reasons requiring their application. are
now so well understood. we need not here pur-
sue the subject. The subject of health, how-
ever. requires that we say something of the
‘grounds. It is wonderful that many a school
house in Connecticut should still be left in this
age of improvement, to ciiniber the hi,-gliwiiy,
\Ve have only space for one of the many rea-
sons why the house should be surrounded by
ample grounds. It is that the children may
have room for healthy exercise. This depends
much upon cheerfuliiess, and cheerfulness de-
pends upon the aspect of the scenery. \Vliile
the appearance of a tidy. and well furnished
room, would prompt a more cheerful applica-S
lion to study; the i'el're-.shment of relaxation
would be greatly promoted by the sight. out of
(loors, ofthe green shady tree, the flowing
stream, and other features of the landscape.—
\Ve liopo the time will come, when groves of
trees will be planted around seats of learning
of every grade. \Vhy not bestow asimucli
pains upon the grounds of the School and Sem-
inary. whei e juvenile minds are to be develop-
ed, as upon the Cemetery where the dead re-
pose ? ’
Fellow citizens! we make our appeal to you,
in your own behalf, in behalf of youi'cliildi-can
and your country. School reform. is making
progress all around you. Other comniuriities
are waking up, why should this continue sluinb-
er .7 Are you aware that the teacliers ofyonr
pl1ildi'eii. suffer a. painful sensibility on this sub-
ject. growing out of ii bitter expei-i,,m;o?
Could you take their places. ai.d attempt to
l:l'l7.lll.l[ttln ii lavr. comiuaiiding silence and en-
joining attention to study, you would soon (lis-
cover that the very construction of the room,
as well as other things, has much to do with
the support of that law ; and but a little of that
¢""'l’9|'l8nce possessed by this class of public
sei'v:1iit‘s. would show you, how parental in-
dwfcrcmqc rests like an incubus of discourage-
ment. on their minds.

count of his size, the nobleyoung animal was

Such a piece of deception, however, no one
acquainted with Col. Coiustock, could for a 1110-
ment, think him capable. Instead of taking
the first premium, as he feels himself justly
entitled. Col. C. was put. offwith a mere di-
ploma, and the plenllllllls distributed nearer
home. lfthe above isga correct representa-

ply the facts to the private use or advantage of

The circular says: “Although designed ulti-

Department reserves to itself the privilege of
examining into the correctness of the returns,
and arranging them into proper form for publi-
