Scl,oo! Improvements. - Frostburp
public school building will receive a
general overhauling this summer I'M
der the personal supervision of Com
missioner McCulloh.
Among the most important and most
needed things proposed will be an
equipment of new desks for the
Seventh and probably Sixth. grade
rooms, and new arrangements for
heating the building. 1t has been
hitherto almost impossible to make the
room h;.bitable for children in severe
winter weather. The blackboards
which arc now for the most part sim
ply painted upon soft plastered walls,
will be entirely renewed. The floor
ing in number of rooms, which is at
present of soft white pine and in
many places quite worn through, will
be torn up and stout yellow pine sub
stituted. The ceilings of nearly all
rooms will be replastered. The out
buildings will be. torn down and re-
placed by new and more suitable
structures.
These are some of the improvements
proposed. There will be many other
minor ones.
The Grahamton school will have
all addition put to it large enough to
accommodate the primary department.
This contract, we understand, has been
given to A. J. Wilson. The work on
No. l, we believe, has not yet been
given out.
