Langdon citizens naturally feel con-
siderable pride III the marked improve
ment from year to year in the appear
ance OF the grounds surrounding the
public school buildings. The attention
bestowed on them this summer shows
up with marked effect. The natural
grasses with the addition OF lawn grass
seed sown gives the grounds fine vel
vety green appearance. Within the past
month the marginal strip OF ground with
its ornamental border OF trees has been
cleared OF weeds and cultivated. The
trees are all thriving finely with the ex-
ception OF a few fronting along the
street have suffered through the
vandalism OF some senseess individuals
whose effense is grievious enough to be
dealt with by law. The work begun by
the school board five years ago toward
, the identifying OF the grounds is begin
, ming to make q showing that none Of
our citizens can fail to appreciate.
