BRISTOL, Nov. The board Of
education for Tenmile district met
here Monday of this week for the
purpose of making plans and ar
rangements for the erection OF new
high school building. The total num-
her Of pupils or the graded and high
schools has exceeded the capacity Of
the present building, containing four
rooms. This being the case the gym
nasium was rugged up and some OF
the smaller grades were transferred
to that room. This served all right
until the cold weather came, and
then the children froze out. The
parents quit sending their children
to school for this reason. And an
other thing, the children having no,
desksn othing except chairs-theyi
would leave their books on their
chairs. When the basketball team
went to the gymnasium to practice,
they scattered the chairs, books and
everything topsyTturyy and left
things mussed up considerably.
This. Of course, caused no end or
bother. The children quit attending
school and were reported to Dexter
L. Dennison, the truant officer, who
went and Investigated tnes' matter.
He concluded that he could not force
the children to attend school in such
q place. This he reported to the
board Of education and 1t met as
stated above. It was not learned
definitely what course 1t took In re-
gard to the matter, but 1t is certain
that more adequate quarters must be
provided for the pupils. This will
ind oubte dly mean q new building. 4
