The climate is far more trying, and between the extreme heat and the heavy rains it is not easy for the children of poor parents to come to school daily; the distances too aro great, and there is undoubtedly an absence of cheap and easy means of conveyance, The indolent habits incidental to birth and residence in a hot climate, must count for something aleo, and a wise administrator will allow for it.
