The meeting Of cur board OF edu-
cation was made memorable on
Saturday night by the fact that the
board unanimously voted TO ask the
voters for 81, 900 for the building of
a new school house at Hainesville,
and build an addition to the school
house at Layton and converting this
school to a graded school with two
or more rooms. The schools at
Fullers and Shaytown will be put in
with the school at Hainesville, and
the Tuttles Corner and Flatbrook
Valley schools will be thrown into
the Layton school, thus consolidat-
ing as far as possible. / have fought
for this for years, and am glad to
see that our board considers the
plan feasible. It will certainly be
saving Uf school monies and result
in better schools, and l hope the
people will consider it in that light
and vote the money asked for.
