her work at the high school owing to | quarantine for scarlet fever.
 At this time Secretary Case spoke of the condition of the Windham Center school, telling of the complaints received from the teachers of the falling plaster, squeaking of the flooring and lack of heat in the building. He stated that one of the three teachers at that school 1 had resigned and the two remaining would not teach there next year if the
 building remained ill the condition pre-
 vailing at present The building which
 Is an old structure Is of four rooms,
 three of which are used as class rooms.
 The average attendance at the school is
 over 120. The ofioring of the building
 has been worn down so badly that ev-
 cry step brings forth a squeak, and the
 clustering in many places shows signs of
 falling. The heating system has been
 out of use for several years, the fur
 mace installed not being connected by
 pipes with the rooms. Several years ago he question of building new school at Windhanl Center came up and in two successive years appropriations of s30,- 800 and $15,000 respectively were voted to be used in the building of new school. Quotations as to the cost of the building have been so high that the S35,000 raised would not cover the cost of construction but it is now thought | possible that a wooden structure of one 1 or two stories with four rooms could be | built for $35,000. The school has been 1 growing and before the opening of the l fall term either new building should | be ready or the old one fully repaired or | the teacher could not be found to take charge of the school. It was finally 1 voted that the repairs committee, pr. W. TI $iYo ond C inft ! would confer with the building commit 1 tee to see what could be done to remedy the situation, and report be returned to the school board as soon as the matter was settled.
 The matter of refunding the balance of $40 paid out by George Williams, | janitor at the schools, to Arthur Sweet | was also taken up and was voted paid. l Mr. Williams was injured while working ! for the school and drew compensation to about s17 during his Iay-up. MT. l Sweet was secured to do the work and at the end of the period of time MT. l Williams paid him $40 from his own salary. The difference between $40 and | s17 was voted to be refunded to MT. i Williams.
 Secretary Case requested that three
 new text books be used in the high 1 school this coming year as the old ones | were deemed insufficient or changes in l courses made the change necessary. The l matter will be voted upon at future meeting.
 Graduation of school comes next month on the 18th, 18th, and 17th, and | the following members of the school ! board were chosen to make the presen-
 tations of diplomas to graduates: II. c. Lathrop to high school graduates on the l evening of June IT; Dr. ".
