COBDEN SCHOOL.
{To the Editor.)
Sir, — I am very sorry to take up so much of your valuable paper. I was passing along tho street of Cobden and I noticed lhat they have started the now school. I was very much taken back to sec how low tho piles arc from the level of tho ground, and it is in a hollow. If we are to have a heabliy school, let us have one with the piles 18 inches or 2 feet above the ground, so that tho air can pass underneath ; and not have tho piles only 7 inches above tho ground and in a hoilow. Tho hollow ought to bo filled in so that it can drain itself. The Cobden School Committee are “very slow” if they going to allow chat to pass by them. The election of school committees will soon be coming on, and it is to bo hoped that tho residents will put the right people in the right place. lam, — Parent of Children Attending School
