1 Provided the committee from the school Board recommends that new school house be built for the center district. 1t has been suggested that the best place for the building is on School street, just beyond the resi- dence of Postmaster Smith. He is fond of children and would not care. The place indicated is central, and | far enough removed from Spring street and the trolley to make it de- slfable. Besides, it is an open lot and where the school building now stands, there are too many trees. The ground is low and damp, and it is within the memory of persons living when 1t was nothing but a swamp hole. It is said it will be impossible to add to or rearrange the old build- ing in such a manner as to adequate ly accommodate the fast growing school population.
