The graded school was troubled very
much this week, and school had to be
suspended in some of the rooms for one
or more days, on account Of water in the
cellar where the heating system is located.

children had holiday. Itseems strange
to US that the cellar should have been |
flooded, as the building is situated on a
hill. We understand that the heating
still works very poorly.
