Vote for n New schooIhouse,
The adjourned school meeting to decide
the schoolhouse question was held in
Music Hall last Wednesday evening.
There was large attendance, both oil
ladies and gentlemen, and though decid-
eddy interesting, the meeting seemed very
harmonious. Public opinion here, after
years OF educating. has at last reached a
local point OF agreement where there
seems to be but one thing to be done.
and this spirit was very plainly in evi.
dence. MIR. Danforth came up from St.
Johnsbury to explain the general plan of
the new Summerville schoolhouse there.
and SO far as size, capacity, ETC., it seems
to be about what is needed here.
MIR. Wells then introduced the follow.
ing resolution: ,
Resolved, That the Lvndonville school
district erect modern brick school
building, on the site of the present build
ing containing eight rooms-at a cost
not to exceed 100000.
Whatever talk there has been OF estab
fishing high school building here. is
etfectually quashed, both by the vote of
the village and by the tenor of this reso.
luton. as the building planned will no
more than accommodate our present and
future common school population. Lyn.
don Institute is now, we hope, to be |
greatly improved, and will doubtless
always remain our finishing school. AZ |
