During the summer the school board
has made some needed repairs and
additions to the school buildings and
they are now ready for the opening of
another school year. The slate roof Of
the high school building, which has
been in bad condition for a number Of
years, has been thoroughly overhauled
and repaired, the ventilation system
has been completed, and a new fire
escape erected. In the old 4th ward
building some alterations were caused
by the discontinuance of the Deaf
school and the using of the room for
grade purposes.
The same arrangements as to grades
will be followed this year. The Kin
dergarten, 1st and 2nd, 7th and 8th

the high school building, and all the
grades from the 1st to the 9Th will be
taught in the 4th ward building.

this fall should attend the kindergarten
unless they are over six years of age.

the value of the Kindergarten depart
ment and make full use of the oppor-
