with the exception of the kindergarten
at the Smith school will open at the
usual time on Monday. Oct. 2. The re-

on the part of the committee and the
workmen to complete the work even
to the last detail there will still be
some carpenter work to be done before

class rooms in the. old building have
been renovated and are ready for pu-
pills and teachers, Temporary stair
ways from basement to second floor
have been erected and ample protec-
ton at the exits has been provided so
that the work or the addition may
continue. The new part will be ready
for occupancy on Jan. /, 1917, as plan
ned.
