New School Building for Fred
erick.

At meeting of citizens interested in
the management to procure better school
facilities for boys in this city, May the 4th
was the date decided on to go before the
Board of School Commissioners and urge
that immediate steps be taken in this di-
rection as provided for by the last Legs
lature A committee will look up sites for
a school building, to assist the commits
sioners in their selection.
Sentiment has been expressed in favor
of abandoning the present system of
schools for girls and boys and establish
ing co-educational system. This ques-
ton will likely be taken up to the School
Commissioners.
Under the provisions of bill passed
by the recent General Assembly the
School Commissioners are authorized to
select site or sites for building or
buildings and to call upon the County
Commissioners for the money. the com
missioners being then required to issue
bonds for an amount suffi cient to cover
the cost, provided the bond issue shall
not be in excess of $4,000. The direc-
tors of the Woman's College anticipate
moving from the present location in the
city to site beyond the town limits, and
it has been suggested that the college
buildings will answer the needs of the
proposed building.
