The work of the Dwight school the
past year has been very successful
throughout
The work of repairing the school
| building commences to-day. when the
contractors for the, new heating appa-
ratus will begin work.
! The heating plant of the school will
be entirely new, and an apparatus fol
ventilation will also be placed in the
building. New floors are ceilings will
be placed throughout the building, while
the lighting will be improved by near
ly doubling the number of windows.
| The building will also be equipped
with new furniture, including the --latest
improved desks and chairs.
1t is hoped that the work will be
completed by the first of September II
time for the school to open at the re-
| gular date.
In the future the number of pupils in
a room will be limited to forty instead
of fifty, as before. This will reduce
the number accommodated at the
school from 600 to 4S0.
The new Roger Sherman school viii
| relieve the demand for admission. L
