the renting of the chapel at Upson's Corner, which could be used for the lower grades If this were done, it would be necessary to build a fence, as it is near the trolley line. The third plan under consideration was the moving of the old Ledge school to the grounds of the Grammar school. This structure contains two per- fCctly good rooms and would take care of the needs of the school for a number of years, The land on which the building stands was deeded to the town for a school house and there is a question as to whether it would revert back to the heirs of the glver if the structure was moved. A building mover will be consulted as to the probable expense.
 At present there are eight rooms in the KensingtOn school, but it is certain that nine are needed. The board decided to consider the ques- tion from all angles before coming> tC a final decision. Superintendent J. H. Dows reported that all the teachers, with the exception of three, have returned their signed contracts. He asked for time to in- tervieW the tea chers in question. be- fore presenting his report and it was granted. He will confer with the teachers and endeavor to keep them here, if possible.

The local boys i were victorious at six tGbalS and lost ! at three and figured they won by five l points, but tho hosts computed the 1 score to be eighty-One to Seventy-six in i their favor. As their decision is fi- ! nal, the kensingtOn are satisfied.
