After having secured a good teacher for 
the winter term of the school, it is all-im¬ 
portant you have, at least a comfortable 
house for him to labor in during the inclem¬ 
ent season through which tho school is to 
continue. Without a comfortable house, 
the teacher, no matter how competent he 
is to perform the duties of his vocation, can 
do little, when the house is emphatically un- 
coinfortable. That there are some such ed¬

ties tor ventilation, 1,518.” 
If only eight years since, one-third of tho 
school-houses in this State, “ was unfit to all 
intents and purposes, for tho reception ol 
man or beast”—we quote the words of the 
Superintendent—then it is reasonable to sup¬ 
pose that there are still many houses en¬ 
tirely unfit to ho occupied by master and 
pupils. This fact is humiliating—aye, more } 
it is shameful ! At the aforesaid period, 
about one-third of tho whole number visited 
was in good repair, and the other third only 
in an ordinarily comfortable condition. 
Out of tho whole number visited, only 
544 contained more than one room; 7.313 
were destitute of any suitable play-ground, 
and most of these in rural districts ; about 
6.000 unfurnished with convenient seats and 
desks ; nearly 8.000 destitute of proper fa¬ 
cilities for ventilation ; and more than 6,000 
without a privy;—while of the remainder 
only about 1 000 were provided with privies 
containing different apartments formalo and 
female pupils. 
In these miserable hovols—which are 
called school-houses—filthy, cold, inconve¬ 
nient, almost to tho last degree of endurance 
without wholesome air, even, sit, crowded 
together on benches unsuitable, consequent¬ 
ly not admitting of a moments rest in any 
position, and debarred of the possibility of 
yielding to the ordinary calls of nature, 
without violent inroads upon modesty aud
