Residents of Lee street are still
complaining of that nasty sewer in
that thoroughfare. The sewer is ex-
posed along a ditch and the sewage
leaks out through disconnected joints
making an intolerable nuisance,
which ought to be given attention at
the earliest possible moment by the
street superintendent.

THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Question Of Enlargement Under Con
sderation of Board of Education.

1t is a Wcll-knOWn and frankly aC-
knowledged that secondary education
in Augusta is suffering. and seriously
suffering, for lack of a suitable and
siZable High school building. The per-
lection Of our school system demands,
as the most immediate step, Improved
High school facilities
This matter is now receiving the full
attention Of the Board of Education,
which expects soon 10 have something
tangible and definite to place before the
people. Continued study of the prob
lem reveals increased complexities.
making it seem advisable to conduct
fun investigation along every line. In
order to satisfy the remOteSt question
as to possible loss in case the city
builds on the present High school site.
full examination is being made Of all
conveyances Of this property frCm the
tilne of the first acquisition Of title e.
it. The legal members Of the board,
Messrs. Burleigh and Harrington, arc
now completing an investigation.
which. it is believed. viii satisfactorily
unravcl any possible legal ontang!c-
mcnt.
Next to be considered is the extent
Of the building to be done. The i'm
preston seems to be prevalent that an
addition at the rear Of the present
building will be sufficient Ii this be
true. the board will undoubtedly recon-
mend il. But ii appears that more
room is needed. not only for the
ccWmodation Of an increased body Of
students but for added courses as
we'll
The business course, for instance, for
which so pressing a demand has been
made, requires considerable room, and
it would be most unfortunate if this
department had to be separated from
the others and placed in an Isolated
building.
Manual training is another branch OF
work which. III a city of many indus
tries. as ours is. ought not to b. neg
lectcd. Besides. it IS evident 10 any
one who compares our present High
school course of study, even CurSorily
with TIC curriculum OF other progress
sive schools, that our High school pu-
pills are debarred from MANY advan-
tagcS which ought to be theirs. No
doubt the people OF Augusta want these
things for their children. and they are
to be had by paying the price for them.
The Icard Of Education Will exert
its most Strenu puS efforts 10 secure
every possible advantage for the small
est outlay Of the city'S funds. For
tunately. it has been found possible 90
secure. 1t very little expense. the ser
vices Of Il Boston building expert,

Boston SchnolhouSe Commission. 1t is
hoped that after conference with him,
and a fun consideration Of the needs
and resources of the city, it will be
possible to formulate u plan which
will be adopted by the citizens at the
annual meeting in May.
