The seectmen and school directors of this
town met in Burlington Saturday. Tho
meeting was called by the directors for the
purpose of obtaining the use OF the town house
for new school in district No. ,. IL was u
very short meeting, as the selectmen-- ma
jority of them-voted No. Now, then, the
directors, knowing the great need of another
school in this district, have, through the
first selectman, called special town meet
ing, tho date of which is not yet decided
upon.
The people OF this district have long
known the necessity OF two schools,
but the project has never been
pushed ahead. 1t is well known fact
that the Eldredse school house would
DO too small during the summer, an much
too far away for the younger ones to reach
during the winter months, yet wa hear some
say, "We used to do it, why can't they ~
Its hoped at the coming town meeting the
voters will think better Of the matter and
vote school. Whether it DO in the town
5 house or not, there should be another schoo
in the district.
