Fort Dodge. Nov. AT the monthly

don the third floor OF the Lincoln
school permanently: to hold night
school for adults; to have free den-
tai clinic for the students. and to do
away with games and practices on tho
public school athletic field Sundays
and during the hours in which tho

Tho Peabody fire brought homo to
the local board the horrors Of fire in

using the third floor Of the old Lin
coin school. with only ono stairway
leading to safety for 125 children. They
accordingly authorized the superinten-
