WILLIAMSVILLE.

The news that the Kent County School
Commission had condemned the public
school building at this place, as unfit for
use because of its crowded conditions,
and lack of sanitary accommodations for
the children, has brought the people to
realizing sense Of what they should
have taken notice of long ago, and it is
now certain that some action will be taken
before the school year closes next summer.
There has been part of the people about
Williamsville who wanted to build a
modern and comfortable school building
for their children to get an education in,
and have the surroundings such that they
will be becoming to modest and well
raised children, but there has been few
opponents who refused to help the plan
along, and who desired to escape paving |
two or three dollars more school taxes
each year to build such school building |
Now they are up-against the question |
good and hard, and they will be COM
PEELED to build the new building, or paw
just three times as much taxes each wear
to conduct the school in the present
school building, as the State will not per-
NIT any part of the school fund to be
1sed to support a school in a building
which has been condemned. Now, Hous-
on went through just such an expert
nence four years ago, and they have
low a very fair school building, and
Villiamsville will do the same before an
ther school year opens. The citizens of
his school district should hold meet
lg at once and consider Just what is
eeded; the size of the building, the
ind of building, and the site for the
uilding. It should be of brick. 80 bv
] feet square, and located at any point
mere the children can have plenty
fkspace to play.
There will be differences of opinion
to the school. and the sooner il is
ken up for consideration the better in

fewer number of shows than in prev

that they are not to be had. Second,
We are trying to raise our standard,
SO when people go to the Grand this
winter they will not have to inyesti-
gate the shows, but will have the adj

1T is true there are fewer shows
