with several members of the school

the impre ssIon that the costs would be

that the welfare Of the district de
manded building Of that material.
Subsequent Investigation convinced
these members that the additional cost
of a brick building wonld be such a
small proportion that they readily con
ceded that in this case a brick is the
best.
Thus, the people can SEQ that the
interests of the community are safe in
