night, a report will be made by re-
Gently appointed committee as to the
need of new buildings for the schools

ing, and it has been necessary to secure

stand, and allow the matter to be set
tied by the people themselves.

ture." An address will be deliverd by
Miss Alice See, county librarian. and
six others, parents and teachers.
