 While the town meeting made pro- vision for the grade scholars, nothing was done for the High school. The teachers for that school have been en- gagged for another year, and MT. An drews, the superintendent, is also un- der contract with the School Board. It is maintained by some that good the management and status of the High school. The room devoted to this department is likely to be over crowded in the near future. and if a High school is maintained more rooms will be needed. It was suggested by some one at the meeting that the Sel- lick property on North Main street be purchased for High school It was thought it could be had, ground and all. for some $15. 900, about the amount which will have to be expended if four new rooms are added to the present building. The situation of the Sellick house is all that could be wished, and the grounds are extensive and beauti- full. All admit that the situation of the present center school building Is undesira ble. The spot had to be taken promise location, to satisfy different sections of the town. It was the only place available. But conditions have changed and the whole building is needed for grade scholars. It can be but a few years at most when a new High school building will be required, and the Sellick eteate is the best for that purpose of any in sight. 2 Supt.
