THE PUBLIC ScHooL.-In less than a
monnh the public school will be in active
operation with change in management
and marked improvements and eonven-
fences. The new principal, Prof. w. J..
Brown comes highly Recommend and it
is earnestly hoped he may more than
realize expectations, and he certainly
will have the encouragement ond coop
Grafton of the entire community In his
efforts.
Two very marked improvements will
have been made in the school brilding-
the introduction of water, with stand
pipes and hose for fire protection in
various places in the building and a
steam heating plant, warranted to keep
the entire structure at an eqGable and
comfortable temperature irrespective Of
outside temperature.
The qualified and efficient !janitor,
John ]. Getty, is hard at work with the
thousand and one odds and ends in and
about the building getting things into
perfect order, and it will be an inconsid-
cradle trifle that escapes his dgilant eye
and industrious hands. The board feel
that he is almost indispensable.
