THE repairs on the Graded school
building, under the supervision of l. e.
Gibson, of the Building Committee, in
clude the heating of the halls with
steam and its use supp lemented to the
Ruttan system in the TO oms. 1t is safe
to say that next winter there will be no
complaint because of the cold halls, or
inefficient service in the rooms. The
Ruttan system being both for heating
and ventilation, we look to have our
children now supplied with pure air and
normal quantity of warmth in winter.
| Janitor johnson has made the school in
terror to "shine' with new paint and
cleanliness, SO that the building will be
in readiness September 4th.
