Many improvements in building were
made during 1902. Among the import
ant improvements in building were the
remodeling of the High school and the
construction of fOur-rOom addition at

now is of modern form and has a
complete and wholesome system of
sanitation. The teaching corps of the
city is particularly efficient and loyal
