school desks in both the grade and high
school buildings. This was done by the
Casmire Process, under the direction If
Mr. d. f. Hamilton Of Kansas Ciri.
The process is simple of application and
consists of dipping the desks in tank
containing the remover, which is kept
heated. The desks are then washed by
using a scrubbing brush and a steady
stream of water. The process proved to
be a most effective sanitary wood
cleansing and renovating agent. remov-
ing all varnish paint, filth and dirt,
The purpose of the renovation was to
protect the health of the students and
to promote the habit of cleanliness and
to maintain sanitary condition.
The desks are now being stained and
vanished by Mr.. Bray and his force of
men. The desks present a beautiful ap-
pearance when refinshed and should
create new enthusiasm with students
and teachers.
Owing to the unavoidable delays in
retinishing the school desks, il has be-
come necessary to postpone the opening
or both the grade and the high schools
till Monday September sth.
