After careful consideration by the board
| of school directors, the location Of our new
high school building has been determined
and the stakes driven for beginning the
work of excavating.. Quite a difference OF
| opinion exists as to the most desirable loca-
ton, but there is mo doubt that the judg-
ment of the board will be approved when
| the objections to the upper location is better
understood. The front Of the building will
be two hundred feet from Stowe street, not
quite so far from High street which is
| enough for our little ones to traverse four
times day during the storms and winds of
| winter. The space fronting Stowe and
| High streets will be ample for beautiful
| lawn and the foundation is secure for the
walls, while the rear is protected by nat
ural terrace with out-cropping rock.
