NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
Grade Teachers and Pupils Have
Moved In and Are Delighted>
With New Quarters
Very Few School Buildings in Villages
That Can Compare With the
Princeton Structures

The pupils and the teachers, with the
help OF the janitors, were busy moving
last week. Now all the grades up to
the sixth are in the new grade build
ing. This is vast improvement over
the quarters that they have had in the
high school during the first six months
of the school year. The new building
is practically completed with-the ex-
ception of some painting, vanishing
and some odd jobs that cannot be fin
lshed until the weather>;Warms up so
as to do the work properly. 1t has
twenty rooms besides the two large
toilet rooms in the basement. It is
steam heated and has good fan sys-
tenn Of ventilation with modern, I'M
proved ventilators on the roof. The
floors are maple throughout, and the
woodwork is finished to correspond
with the woodwork in the old building.
1t has the very best of slate black
boards and bulletin cupboards for the
books and supplies. The cloak-ooms
are exceedingly we'll lighted an. con-
veniently furnished with plenty of
books.
IN addition to the grade rooms there
are TWO high school recitation rooms
ana three manual training rooms with
TWO large store rooms and a rest roon,
