There are some small boys who
make Sunday an occasion to turn the
unfinished High School building into
q play house. Last Sunday these
boys, thoughtlessly we hope, dAmag-
cd the ceilings by sticking their feet
through them from the upper stories,
besides doing other mischief that
put the contractor to an expense and
much trouble to remedy. The par
ents of these boys should bid them to
stay away from the building when
the workmen are absent, and
unless they do so, the contractor in
order to protect his work will be
compelled to adopt means that will
be disagrseable to all concerned.
Boys, Mr.. Ogden knows who you are,
SO keep out of trouble by staying
away from the building.
