am not surprised at all to hea

isn't what We want Let us havl
some practical suggestions on'
Of the difficulty. would like L
hear something from the super
intendent on that subject. Then We
shall have something to discuss. I'm.
til that it does not seem to me there is
any thing to discuss at oil. The facts
are too we'll known for us to spend too
much breath in discussing them. Let
Us hear the suggestions that are TO be
made how to get out of this difficulty
What is proposed? And then if the
Board of Education shonld want any
advice from the citizens. then it might
be proper to call the citizens together.
Mr.. Schwenke:
Mr.. Chairman, Mr.. McCray
has stated that we came here to
discuss it. When these propos
itions are made TO us possibly we
might have something to say ON
this subject, but 10 talk here to-
night simply 10 declare that the
school building is a death tap,
there is nothing in that, gentle
men, al all. We all know just
what it is. There isn't a man
living in the town, who has lived
here for any length Of time. but
what knows the situation. lie
knows that the children have
been climbing those stairs 10 the
third story for the last fifteen
years and for the last ten years
they have been sent 10 the base
ment. II has been always under
stood that these Easements were
not fiji places for schools, and |
take it that the past year has
been exceptionally unfavorable.
l do not recall IN my experience
year in which we have had so
much rain, and with the c0ndit-
ion OF that building no spouiing
to it and the rain pouring down
around it 10 make its way into
these basement, has made them
exceptionally unfit. L am moi sur.
prised at all 10 hear them spoken
Of in that light but that ISM
what we want. Let US have some
practical suggestion out Of the
difficulty. ! would like to hear
some thing from the superinteud
ent on that subject. Then We
shall have something TO discuss.
Until that il does not seem to me
there is anythingto discuss 1t all.
The facts are too we'll known fnr.tt
US to spend very much. breath in /
discussing them. Let us hear
the suggestions that are to be
made how to get out OF this diff !
Guilty. What is proposals And
then if the Board of Education
should want any advice from the
citizens. then it might be proper
10 call the citizens together, but
my feelings, my belief Is. that it
is the business of the Board of
TO 60 on and make the !
most favorable arrangement
Lhey can 10 get us ont of The diff
|iculty and submit them to the
citizens for discussion. But ior
us simply to discuss that the
building is dangerous on account
Of Deing illy ventilated and that
t is illv heated and that the
easements are damp-that Is
something everybody knows,
Everybody knows that and sure
y do not need any further lines
,r precept OH that subject at all.
Let us get something practical.
The Chairman
Excuse me a minute. A couple
# Years ago the Board of Educa
ion did submit Il proposition as
