WATERVILLE DAILY TALK
Large Attendance at the School Meet
 ing Last Evening.


 ing Last Evening.
 Very interesting, indeed, was the school meeting which was held last night. There was a large attendance. Horace Garrigus presided. Dr Good enough, who, one resident says, thinks that he is the whole board of educa- ton, was the recipient of many hard knocks. Among those who had some thing to say not very nice to say open ly and publicly about the doctor with the all confident smile. were H. M. Rig ney and Ferdinand Wolff. They want ed to know what proof did Dr Good enough have of the statement attrlb- uted to him that the Wateryille school was not half heated during the winter. He came here one day short time ago. It was Monday, and it was during the noon hour. He went into the cellar of the school and looked at the furnace, and on that he based his statement so it is said. The taxpayers would like to know how he knows whether the school was poorly heated during the winter when he never visited the school during that time or never visited the school this year when the school was in session. A res Vent in speaking on the subject this morning said that he believed that Dr Goodenough did not visit the school as a, member of the board of education, but as 3 doctor. Everything he says ought to go Why. they say that he said that there was well in the cellar of the school, while in reality there is only pump. A nice time to visit a school, during the noon hour. As to the school meeting, though the subject of improvements was fully discussed, there were no heated or ex- cited arguments. Those present con- ducted themselves in a creditable man. ner. Superintendent Tinker represent ed the board of education. He said that from an economical standpoint he would rather see two new rooms added to the present building. It would be much better viewing it thus. to have all the rooms under one roof. Only one principal would be required and only one heating apparatus. and thus it would be much cheaper. But he was unable to see how two rooms could be added to the present building without marring the building and without inter- fering with the. supply of light for the different rooms. If the taxpayers de- sired a. new building he would recom- mend that a four-room building should be erected in such a manner that addi- tional rooms can be added at any time, just as is the case with the new Wash ington Hill building There followed considerable discussion. pro and con, as to which would be the better plan to erect a new school building or add two rooms to the present building. Finally on motion of Frank Wheeler. committee of five was appointed to look up suitable sites for new school build ing and to get prices and options on such. The persons appointed on the committee were Louis Gates. John B. Chatfield. Ferdinand Wolff. H. NJ Rigney and C.. H. Edwards. The report of the purchasing committee, which was ap- pointed at the last annual school meet ing, was received and the committee was discharged. H. Tullar questioned the legality of discharging the commit tee without stating the purpose of doing so in the call for the meeting. but the majority of those present thought otherwise. As to the recom- mendation that the double seats should be renlaced with individual seats. the majority of taxpayers think that this recommendation should not be adopted The double seats are new and if they were sold the district would not re- ceive one-nuarter of the money they paid for them. They think that the at any rate The committee on school sites will report on or before June. 20.
