cards on the wide porch were in order. A dainty

New ScHooLHousE PROJECT. Messrs. o. E.
Frost, Ralph L. Cooper and Elmer A. Sherman
have bought the brick house and four acres OF
land on upper High street of Hugh ID. Nc
Lellan, Esq. and it is proposed to sell this
property to the city next spring at the pur'
chase price, when the house will be remodeled
into six-room school building for the North
Primary, the first six grades. Athletic fields
will also be laid out there. Then it is suggest
ed that Charles w. Frederick may put up
building where the old academy now stands to
take care of the first six grades in the South
end, from the bequest of his wife, the late
Lena PIERCE Frederick to be known as the
PIERCE school. We quote further from spec
ial to the Kennebec journal: "This will leave
Grades VII, VIII and TX and the High school
to be looked after and the committee is look
ing now for a suitable lot. 1t will not be built
on the city lot in Church street. II the
schoolhouses on the Common are taken away,
when new ones are provided elsewhere, this
will make an ideal park in the very heart OF
the city and one which is badly needed. 1t is
already well laid out, surrounded with beauti-
ful trees and bordered by four streets. 1t
would take very little expenditure" Possibly
these plans may be visionary to certain ex-
tent. but exact information is not readily OBJ
tanned.
