WOODROW SCHOOL
STRUCTURE WILL BE VERY
MUCH LIKE ONE THAT WAS
BURNED DOWN.

Steps have already been taken by
the county board of education FOL
the rebuilding Of the school house al
Woodrow between Williamsport and
Sawdust Valley, which was burned
a short time ago. Work on the build
ing will commence just as soon as
the weather will permit. The lumber
and other materials are being assem-
bled for the building.
The new building will be substan
TALLY the same sort Of structure that
the old one was. It will contain three
rooms and will be modern In every
respect. The board has appropriat
ed $1,S0O for the building and sever
al of the progressive citizens Of thai
section have made liberal contribu
tions. The building when finished
will probably cost $4,000,
The most gratifying feature of the
situation is the fact that number Of
citizens of that section who original
" opposed the consolidation OF the
schools at Williamsport and Sawdust
Valley and the building of the house
at Woodrow. were the first to volun
teer aid in the rebuilding Of the
house. They have been liberal con
tributors for that purpose. They ad
NIT that the consolidation was the
very thing for the school interests oi

security for costs.
The Governor and Attorney Gener-
al, or either of them, should be en-
powered to- direct the proper official
to bring such suit.
Such proceeding should be sum-
mary and triable as AN equitable ac-
ton, and should be heard eithe: in
vacation or term time.
If the facts justified, the official in
question should be suspended during
the pending of the proceeding, and
the vacancy should be temporarily

peal should, of course, be provided
for.
