Someone, intent upon mischief Or
acting on the promptings of dis
eased brain, Thursday evening entered
the high school building and carried
the books from the desks, causing 10
end of trouble the next day. The
books were finally recovered as they
had been carried to the garret and an
effort made to hide them there. Very
few people will consider this a smart
trick but it certainly emphasizes the
necessity of having a caretaker or
janitor on duty at the building both
day and night. If this splendid build
ing can be entered so easily great dam
age might be done in very short time.
Let us hope that those responsible for
the care of this splendid structure will
exercise a little more care in the fn-
ture.
