Principal J. Frank McBee the new
principal is coming in for good share
of praise for the business-like manner
with which he has takeh ahold. The
school rooms so bright, new and COM
Portable are much enjoyed by the chill
dren. In fact they have a right to be,
for Clayton can now boast Of one of
the most comfortable and convenient
school buildings in the state. The
only troublesome condition that arises
at the opening of this Fall term is the
congested condition of the primary
grade. This matter was taken up by
the Board of Directors at a meeting
the other night and some agitated the
election of another teacher as there
was still one vacant room left in the
new building. The Board after serious
deliberatlon decided that the condition
of the treasury after expending 81
much for improvements, would no
permit of employing another teache
at this time and the matter wa
deferred indefinitely. Should tn
grade be crowded another year, it i
probably that new department wi
be added to the faculty of the school.
