Institute improvements.
The building at Lyndon Institute was
opened for public inspection Friday, and
people in general awaited themselves ex-
tensively of the privilege of inspecting
the great improvements that have been
made. There has been no re-arrange-
ment of the rooms, but all rooms have
been newly painted. in light tones with a
gray dado, new seats and desks put in,
and new hardwood floors laid through
out. On the south side a new double
door with large glass windows lights
up formerly dark corridor. The coat
rooms on either side the entrance are
newly finished and new plumbing of the
most improved kind has been added to
both girls and boys coat rooms. The
new agricultural and science room has
been fitted up by Mr.. Wallis generosity
with convenient desks and chairs and a
fine collection of books. The improve
ments made are wonderful and the money
raised seems to have been expended to
the best advantage. There yet remains
the painting of the exterior and the COM

will be well equipped for business. With
