No. 3, }, 77 and 1O7. Town of
Smyrna. The changes in the school
property of the Town of Smyrna had
so far exceeded what the County
School Commission had suggested to
the Board of Education. that it is
pleasure to acknowledge the pride
which the people of Smyrna have i'm
their public schools. Additions had
been built of brick to the large brick
three-story school building and i'm
these additions were placed modern
toilets and lavatories, which equal, If
not exceed, any in use in the county.
New concrete steps at the various en-
frances, new floors, iron fire escapes
reaching to the third story, and new
porch entrances have been added to |
the school building. Shower baths for |
the boys to use after their athletic |
games, and cemented basement afford |
more room for practical experiments |
in agriculture and manual training. |
The eleven teachers in the Smyrna |
schools are all doing fine work, and
they are loyalty supported by the
Board of Education. Smyrna was al
ways a believer in public school edu-
cation, and the schools there are per-
-ectly satisfactory from the physical
stand point.
