fact that during the coming vacation he will be able
to build addition to the school the south and

neighborhood of $1,000 and it's completion will be
hailed with delight by the parents well the
children. The present quarters have been long
crowded and in ways unsuited to the needs of
the school, wherein the attendance has been growing
steadily in recent years.
