I think each and every district should
provids a means to have plenty of good
water at the school house, and not be
bothering the people who live near the
school to get water out of their wells.
This district is able to dig a well on the
school grounds and provide a way to
have good water. Besides, much time
is wasted by the pupils in carrying the
water that they use at school. They are
after watr when they should tie In the
fchool house preparing their lessons for
futher recitation. I hope the day is not
far distant when we will have a well at
our school house the same as other dis
