GRADED SCHOOL CLOSED
On Account of Rumors and Agi-
tation in Regard to. the Condi.
ton of the Graded School
Building, the School Will be
Closed Until Further Notice.
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
On account of so much agita-
ton about the dangerous condi-
ton of the graded school build
ing, | have been instructed by
the board of trustees to close the
school until such repairs can be
made on the building as to make
it absolutely safe. / take this
method of notifying the patrons
of the school that there wilklbe
no more graded school work here
until further notice is given.
In behalf of the teachers as
well as of myself. want to ex-
tend our heartfelt appreciation
to our patrons for the patronage
and the exceptionally fine sup
port they have rendered in maxi
ing the school.a positive success.
say a success authoritatively,
for local visitors, as we'll as those
from other places, have given
the work their heartiest COM
mendation. We thank the good
people of Lumberton, because
without their cooperation we
could never have attained this
high mark of success.
AS to the condition of the build.
ing, feel that / ought to say
some things, as / am in a position
to speak from facts, and moi
from rumor. The building is In
practically the same condition
that it was when we first enter
ed it for school purposes. 1t has
been a matter of certainty to the
trustees or at least to some OF
them-that the ceiling over the
auditorium was sagged from 8 t.
10 inches. 1t appeared to the
management to be dangerous
An architect-Mr. MacMillan, -o1
Wilmington, who was considered
one of the best in the State-wa.
called here to examine and pas.
upon the matter. He made
two examinations and pro
nounced the building absolute
ly safe, and it was sagged NOR,
than it is now. He received hi,
fees for these examinations, ant
we felt that he knew his bushes.
and therefore we felt that w,
could continue our work withou
any fear of disaster to the school
Some members of the board VIII,
had not noticed the sagging be
fore found it out a few days ago
Not thinking it safe, another ar
chitect, Mr.. MacMichael, of Char
lotte, was called here to max,
examinations and to report to tn,
board his findings. He examin
ed the defect. He made a sigh
measurement and estimated tina
the centre of the work over tn,
auditorium was down about
inches. From his report hav,
gone out various rumors, and
make this statement to let the pa
irons of the school know that w,
were watching after the safet,

gone out we might have taught
on in the wings of the building
with absolute safety, but these
rumors have so excited the peo-
pie that we are sure we could net

ter is adjusted, and, therefore,
the school closes and will remain
closed until further notice be
given.
