PLANS ID PURCHASE LITTLE SCHOOLHOUSE
, West Would Have Community
 Center at Stockings Corner
BOYS PLAYED FIVE-UP
But Two Boys of Railroad Colony Tell
 Judge Griswo1d They Will Do It "No ? Mo !" If He Lets Them Go-UIti-
 matum to Connecticut Company.

Feeling certain that many of the residents of the district will not care to see the little old schoolhouse at Stockings Corner dismantled or changed into a tenement house, Rich ard West of that district this morning began a movement to raise 2. suff1- cient sum to purchase the place at the auction next Monday and use it for B gathering place for people, who live in the neighborhOod. As stated in this column, the place will be auctioned off Monday afternoon by First Select man William H. Gibney. The build ing was erected about sixty three years ago and many, now prominent citizens received the rudiments of their education there. The rise of the Blue Hills district meant the fall of Stockings Corner and as a result the attendance fell off until about five years ago, town meeting voted to suspend classes in that school and have one in the former district, and recently another meeting instructed the selectmen to sell the place. Sev- eral bids have been made, but it is thought to be worth more than any &offered and consequently it was de- cided to put it under the hammer.
 But Mr. West has been moved by sentiment and feels that there are many others, who hold the opinion that the school will make an Ideal cen ter for the residents in the neighbOr- hood. Many. citizens attended the school in the days of it's greatness and she hopes to have several hand to- gether and purchase the site. Mir. . West said this morning he had con- 3erred with several tOWnspeOple, re- garding the idea and it seemed to meet with general approval, especial ly among those who spent their early schoolhood days in the little building on the corner. He feels certain that when the auctioneer's hammer falls on Monday the place will remain in possession of some of the citizens and 4 the plan will be carried out.
 "Unfortunately," said MT. West this morning, 'I could not purchase the place myself, because of insufficient funds but know that many will fa- vor the idea and intend to see them on my way home. The school brings ? back many fond memories to me and q am sure it does to others
