There Will be many radical changes
in the location Of the various schools
in the village owing to the new High
school building and the advantage Of
having the old High school building

grades, which during tho past few
years have been sadly handicapped

The grades which have formerly at
tended at the Free street building will
be in the Spring street building. and
the sixth. seventh and eighth grades
will occupy the rooms upstairs where
The High school has formerly been
