Two have been recently moyed from northern parts of the township to the vsaid road, viz: the Geo Comeau to a point four miles from the Forest Cit\r school, and the other one from northern Sanner to a point three miles east of the said Geo Comeau sehool. Then the Ripley school is only three miles west of Forest City (as the "crow "flies"). It seems to us that a consolidated School in Forest City would econ omize township money, besides giving the pupils a better school than they can get with the scatter ed and misdirected efforts that have been put forth in the past. •f r« The Injury of one is (he Concern of aft.
