A little foresight into the pros pxits fot the f it ure terms of school in Willnunstou, after tins present term shall expire this \v;cek,docs not foretell a vety liaUeviiig condition. There is, 1 regret to say, a seeming lack of general iutcrestnn the pros perity of the town's school advan tages. Having given the matter ma ture personal consideration, I am convinced that now is the time for the community to act with earnest ness and seriousness for reasons I shall set forth. • - . For three years Prof. Wils6n has labored faithfully .earnestly and ab ly in the interest of our Academy and has devoted bis whole time and energy to the work in oqr midst. A better, a more thorough and more competent teacher cannot be had thau he. And yet he cannot, with the lights before him, see iu the fu ture sufficient encouragement to in duce him to remain in charge of the school and is uow considering flat tering propositions to go elsewhere at the close of the present term.Can we afford to lose Prof. Wilson? Again, the school buildings and ground are the property of an indi vidual citizen of the town, who has very liberally furnished the town and community the free use of the property in the psst, which worthy act is most highly commendable in him.But he fiuds that he shall prob ably have other need of the proper ty and will before another school term devote it to other purposes, which is no more than right. What then is our position? Wc are without a teacher and without an Academy building in which to have a school. What are we going to do about the matter? The plan which suggests itself to tne is that a meeting of the citi zens of the town be called at an ear ly day when committees shall be ap pointed to investigate the chances of purchasing the Academy by the town and having it set aside as the school property of the town.or leas, iug same for a term of years, and for arranging to have the school taught in the able manner that has characterized the previous sessions, and for such other purposes as .shall be deemed necessary and expedient. This, I think, should not be so de laved as to allow the impression to go abroad that the school is to go down in ruin rnd destruction, but should claim the prompt attention qf the entire community. I should here namo 1 11|1 place for such a call nioethii;. bt.t think it wisdom to all«iv ♦!•'• matter sonu thought anJ i nifldiViiioii l»y those interest ed b*roie O'is si nil be dine. T insist th.it no man has a ritfht to excuse hint: elf from responsibil ity on the ground that he has no personal interest in the school, for such is not the case. Every citi zen of the community has a person al interest; for the intelligence of a community is Jhe standard by which the general prosperity of the com munity is estimated; without cul ture and intelligence no community will thrive and prosper. Then look to your schqol withput delay. There will always be In a coinmun> ty those who will seek to discour# age all just and reasonable efforts to accomplish anything, but let us hope that such may not be the case now, and at any rate, wc can and must and are going to have a C'IOOI. Let us not be discouraged. It may | yet be possible to keep Prot". Wit- j son with us and to secure the ure of the Academy,either by purchase or ka*se.. J.;. Hopiug that these suggestions i may set us all to thinking and may be seeds sown which shall ripen In this seasouinto a harvest which shall > gladden and fill with pride the hearts i of all of us, £ am i Very respectfully, GEOW-whwell.
