Annual School Meeting


school building in Meade, Friday
April 9th at 200 p. m.
Several important measures
will be for your consideration at
this meeting. The term of the
Clerk expires this year, so the
first duty of the meeting will be
to fill that office. f. I. Bennett
is the present incumbent, and
has filled the place exceedingly
well, but whether or not he will
again be candidate we have not
learned.
H. Llewelyn Jones is the pres
ent Treasurer and his term will
not expire for two years, but
due to the fact that he does not
feel that he can do justice to
both his Law practice and hls
duty as Treasurer of the school
board, he has stated that he will
resign at the coming meeting.
If his resignation is accepted, it
will be necessary to elect some
one to fill the vacancy.
The most difficult problem
which will confront the meeting
aud which must be solved at that
time, is the problem of more
room.
A new law, passed during the
last session of the legislature,
provides, that under the State
Board of Health a Board of In
spectors, composed OF four me nj
bers, are to be appointed, whose
duty it will be to inspect school
buildings. The law further pro.
yides that no school building of
two stories Or more shall be con.
structed or remodeled until the
plans have been submitted "a
this board and accepted by it,
their work being that of santa.
ton and ventilation.
Heretofore the inspectors have
condemned the use of easements
as class rooms; this being true,
our school would be deprived of
the use of one of It's class rooms
which is in the basement, but
other than this, the remainder of
the rooms could be remodeled
for class rooms. Considerable
money has already been expend-
ed on the present building in Or
der to provide additional class
rooms, so with little more re-
modelling it will very well serve
as high school building, but,
what about the Grades?
For the past two years it has
been necessary for the Board to
rent. room elsewhere in the city
for the First and the Second
grade in order to make more
room in the building for other
classes, and for this same reason
1T has also been necessary torrent
additional room for the Domes-
tic science Department. We
now have one of the best high
schools in the state of which we
are all justly proud and which
has had the support of all the
people for the past several years.
We are now face to face with
the problem of more room and a
building of some kind must be
erected. There are more pu-
pills in the grades than in the
high school aud are entitled to
as much consideration, so since
we must have building, why
not a Grade Building.
This building and improve
ment must be paid for by the
and for that reason
If for no other, they should be
present at the meeting and have
a voice in how this money is go
ing to be spent. 1t is a recon-
to our city to have a
good school and we all want It to
to progress, so as tax
payers who pay the bills, think
these matters over and attend
