The villagers of "Wengnisichoong" have requested that a school similar to that at Victoria may be opened in their neighbourhood, as there is a growing number of children there. The parents are too poor to make it worth a schoolmaster's while to take up his residence among them. The village is in a very impoverished condition owing to the land by the cultivation of which the inhabitants subsisted having been converted into a race-course; the money paid as compensation for this loss having been long ago expended. We beg to recommend their petition to the favourable consideration of His Excellency the Governor, that the small monthly sum, ten dollars, required for the establishment of the school, may, if expedient, be granted.
