State Superintendent Inspects Building

Complete Gymnasium First.

Grangeville's new 500 1000 brick
schoolhouse will soon be completed.
The last of the brick work on the
gigantic structure was finished this
week and now force of workmen is
making excellent headway in putting
the roof in place.
AS soon as the roof is completed and
doors and windows are installed the
work on the interior of the building
can be pushed to completion regardless
of inclement weather. Most of the
roofing material is on the ground and
the representative of the company
which is laying the roof is already
directing the job.
May Occupy Next March.
1T is thought now that the building
will be ready for occupancy about
March l.. 1t is barely possible that the
trustees will decide to finish only the
gymnasium and auditorium for oc-
cupancy this spring and not attempt to
move the school over from the old
building until next fall. In this way
all the rooms of the new structure can
be made ready for the reception of the
teachers and pupils when school starts
next year. Strong pressure is being
brought to bear to have the change
deferred until after vacation in order
that the school work may not be in
terferred with in any way.
Miss Grace M. Shepherd, state super.
intendent Of public instruction, was in
the city this week and took occasion to
inspect the new building throughout.
She was delighted with the many con.
venient and modern features of the
structure and expressed strong com.
mendation for the enterprise and pro.
gressiveness of the citizens.

authoritatively on the subject and her
words of praise for the new building
count for much.
