the High school and to our citizens generally:
My dear Mr.. Woodbury.: l have read with
interest the inspectory report for the High
school Of your city. ! am pleased with the
efforts which being made to increase the
efficiency of the school. The work in general
is of grade that is wholly creditable. | am
much interested to note the expenditures you
have recently made for library and lantern
think these additions to the equipment will
materially assist the teachers in their work.
| cannot feel but that the work of the school
is in large d. gree seriously handicapped by
the very ina dequate housing accommodations
Not only is the building poorly adapted for
secondary school work as it is now developed
tut feel that the health and safety of the
children is at stake and in large measure I'M
der the present conditions. l am aware that
careful and favorable consideration by the
citizens of Belfast. | cannot refrain from
urging that action be taken at the earliest
possible opportunity looking toward provi-
sion for a new building which will adequately
serve the needs of growing school and add
IN very great measure to its efficiency. You
