~ nv ths resr, This could be easily done
bVremoving the out-buildings of No. 8
s!d schools and erecting new ones IN
different localities.
ltvuaso decided to heat four build
mos with steam, pvt new furniture,
ste ~ therein, the whole not to cost over
1900 at the highest. This he thought
vopld be more preferable and less ex-
Mnse to the Board, than purchasing a
fCt and bnilding new Grammar
school thereon. Il
Nj. Wiley thought the move a good
nns but suggested the necessity OF fur
psbinp the school with single desks,
instead of the double ones now III use,
living as his reasons for this, that
there was not q redeeming feature in
The donble desks, while in tAe single
ones there was every advantage, and of
sucb nature that they would prove a
usst benefit to all concerned, espe-
cslly the scholars, and that he would
like to have that included in the plans.
Hethen cited to the Board numerous
instances where the single desks were
muse in other cities and that they were
attended with good results. After
several member. mad given their views
Oh the subject, the motion was unani-
mously adopted. Mr.. Heisler then
spoke Of the necessity of enlarging the
present building by tearing out the
inside portions and small rooms and 80
Arranging them in order to make more
room and give more light on the lower
floor Two plans were suggested, one
(Which would cost about 81, 100 while
lhe other would only cost $3.50.
Superintendent Harlan being asked
pgve his views regarding the pro-
posed improvements, stated to the
Board that the manner in which the
lover floor was arranged, was not as it
shoud be, and it was entirely too small
fEthenumber of pupils taught therein,
ADD consequently he had agitated the
change.
After discussing the matter, it was
decided to postpone action upon it un-
ala future meeting. In the meantime
The members Of the Board were req uest-
Cd to meet the chairman of the commit
ae Of the school in question, at the
school OIL Wednesday morning or Fri
aay afternoon, in order that they might
examine and see for themselves so that
snen the matter was brought before
