NEW NATcHAUG SCHOOL.
Advocated by School Committee-Tow own
 to Be Asked to Vote Upon Such
 Recommendation at Special Meeting.

The electors of the town of Wind ham will be asked, at the next special town meeting to be called, to erect a new grammar school building to take the place of the present Natchaug school on Jackson street, and make a sufficient appropriation for that pur- pose. This as result of instructions received by Chairman I. E. Guild of the Town school committee at the committees meeting in the rooms of the board of selectmen Wednesday evening, to request the selectmen to have such a clause inserted in the warning for the next special town meeting.
 This action was decided upon after Thomas J. Kelley had informed the members of the committee that it was a question in his mind whether the town should keep on effecting repairs to the old Natchaug school building. C. C. Case a member of the commit tee, had just reported the necessity for the installation of a new boiler at the school 10 take the place of the one doing service there for the past 37 years which would also mean extra expense to repipe the entire building. Committeeman Kelley said the Nat chaug school building was the worst in the city. The state had erected a fine structure on Windham street and St. Joseph's parish had erected a fine parochial school without any expense to the town and he believed that it was about time for the town itself to build a new grammar school. The Natchaug school site is a fine one and a building can he erected in front of the present old building and then the latter may be torn down and the school children have an excellent playground m the rear of the new school. He said he felt that the town was ready to build such a building and that the question should be brought before the electors as soon as possible.
 Chairman Guild was also instructed to appoint q committee of three to investigate what sort of building the town ought to have and the approXi- mate amount of money that would be required for the purpose This com mittee was appointed Thomas J. Kel- ley, C. C. Case and Hormisdas Dion.
 The committee is to be prepared to re- Fort at the special town meeting.
 The resignation of Miss Alice 1. San ford, teacher of Latin at the Wind ham high school, to become effective January 24 was accepted. The teach CTS committee recommended that the town school committee authorize Prin- clpal Egbert A. Case of the w. H. S. to investigate suitable candidates for
 the vacancy and engage a successor to Miss Sanford.
 Chairman Dean of the teachers com mittee stated that Principal Case had l one applicant in mind, Miss White of Adams, Mass, who has been teaching for seven years and was highly rec omnended. George S. Elliott, another member of the town school committee, stated that Miss White was from his home town and he knew that she was very fine teacher
 l Mir. Kelley moved that Principal Case be authorized andsinstructed to inves- 1 tgate suitable teachers to fill the va cancy of Miss Sanford at a salary not 1 to exceed SOS and make report and recommendation to the town school hcommittee at a special meeting to be i called by chairman for the YtIr- pose. The motion was carried The l matter of admitting out of town pu- | pills into the freshman class of the 1 W. Fl. S. on certificates from school
 supervisors without examination was | taken up at the request of Principal ] Case. He strongly favored it's adop- | ton and it was voted that hereafter
