ordered led.
The report of President Wilcox was
one of much length and the most com :
prehensive that was ever made before
a body of Petersburg business men.
The treasurer's report showed the
finances of the association to be IN
good shape and the report of the secre-
tary showed that much good had been
accomplished, especially in the lines of
credit and collections.
The latter report SHOWED that dis
puted accounts which were thought to
he of little or no value, had been col
lected to an amount more than suf-
ficient to pay the expense of this de-
partment.

THE WEST HIGH" REOR-
CANIZATION.

Western High School students,
robbed of their home by fire, went
back to their regular classes this
morning with loss of but one school
day. This speaks volumes for the
efficiency of the system over which
Ernest L. Thurston has but recently
been placed at the head. The COM
munity has responded we'll to the
test placed upon it, by offering serv-
ices Of teachers, rooms and books,
but it remained for the school Of
iicials to handle their problem. This
they have efficiently done.
More than $50 students today
went into the Franklin and Fillmore
Schools for work. Since Friday
morning a force of janitors, all too
little compensated for their work
during the months of school, have
been taking out desks Iilled with
books at Western. This morning
the furniture was ready for use in
the two schools, and pupils claimed
such of the property as was not
ruined. These janitors have worked
Just as hard as the officials, and 1t
is due to them as much rs any one
else that the school is able to con-
tinue this morning.
