MORE ROOM

Redding Farmers May Unite to
Purchase Spraying Apparatus
Other News of Redding

Redding, Feb. 2-More room is need
ed for the Center public school and
whether to supply it by the purchase
of site and the erection Of a new
building or by an addition to the Hill
Academy where the school is now
housed was one of the subjects dis
cussed by the town school board at
their regular monthly meeting last
Friday. The latter method would in
volve the less outlay and it is under
stood that an arrangement to carry
it out can be made with the academy
trustees. Under such a plan a lease
would be taken of the academy &C.
commodations for a long period and a
two room school would probably be
provided so as to establish a grade by
which pupils would be more conven-
iently fitted for high school course.
A like provision is also needed for
the west side and the Ridge section
and both VIII doubtless come in time.
1t was decided at Fridays meeting
of the board to have parents day at
the Center school on Feb. "a. The ex-
ercises will include exhibitions of class
work and also examples of individual
proficiency in written examination
work. Supervisor Parker reported the
purchase of a cons: derable number of
experimenting text book instruction.
This reading matter will be divided
into groups and passed around among
the schools until the circuit is made.
A project is under way for the for
nation in the r dye section of an as
ISOLATION to purchase former spray
ing apparatus costing $500. The plan
is to enroll thirty members who shall
each pay $40 for share in the enter
prise. w. c. Sanford has taken the en-
terprise in hand at the request of a
number of citizens who realize that
effective measures must be promptly
taken to save their decaying and IN
sect infested orchards from other ruin.

methods called for. but 1T is one of
the absolute essentials Experiment
