All interested hope the School Board will hav
new desks in the building before the fal
term begins. The desks now in use have NJ
iDkwels and bottles have to be used. And II
addition the tops are loose and often go sliding
out in the floor with the contents of the desk
Very frequently ink bottles upset, to the detri
ment of the children's clothes, paper and tenn
per. These desks have been in use over q
years. Surely the School Board can afford tC
treat the building to a new lot.
