Consolidated School at Washington
Program VIII BE Announced
Later.

Announcement has been made that
the dedication of the Washington Con
solidated School will in all probability
occur on Thanksgiving Day. The pro.
gram for the day will BILE announced
later.
The work on the new school is
about completed. Some little plaster
ing remains to be done and the wood
work and the placing of the desks in
the various rooms are yet to be finish
ed. The trustees of the school had
hoped to have the building ready for
service at the beginning of the school
term, but on account of the scarcity OF
labor throughout the county their
hopes were not realized.
The school, when entirely finished
will be one of the largest of the
schools outside of the City of Mays
vile. There will be both the grade
and high school departments to the
school, thus enabling a student to get
a very thorough course. The building
is three-story and built of brick. 1t
is situated in the center of a ten-acre
campus. The building will have all OF
the modern conveniences.
The arrangements for the dedication
exercises have not been fully made
out, but 1t has been decided to hold
the exercises in both morning and af-
ternoon. At the noon hour a dinner
will be served. Several prominent
speakers will be secured for the occa-
sion. The day promises to be one that
will long be remembered by the resi-
dents of the Washington district.

testant by having this unique slogan

meeting yesterday afternoon and have
decided as to what form of advertising
will be done and other things, all Of
