New disinfecting machines have been
put in all the toilets, and individual
towels and drinking cups are soon to be

ments cannot be gotten at once, and
patience on the part of all connected
with the school will eventually be
rewarded. Quite good deal of new
ing for the grades and high school
since Sept. list. A new magazine
stand for the high school has also been
added. Yet, still greater equipment
will be necessary for another year, to
