SCHOOL'-HOUSE, noun [See House.] A house appropriated for the use of schools, or for instruction; but applied only to building for subordinate schools, not to colleges. In Connecticut and some other states, every town is divided into school-districts, and each district erects its own school-house by a tax on the inhabitants.
