ooRMIToRY PLANS COMPLETED
To School Trustees and School Pa
irons Of Mccone County

The Circle School dormitory Is nov
l nss6reds Buildings md matfbn have
boon engaged and everything will be
ready to 90 by the first Of September.
The Greylock Hotel building has been
leased and few alterations will be
made, such as hot air registers In each
room, ETC., in order to convert 1t in
| to comfortable dormitory. This build
| ing will be used for girls only; the
boys will be kept in the Mccain place
across the street which will also be
fitted with some sort of heating sys-
tenn to insure comfort. The Greylock
Hotel dining room will be used as a
common dining room for both sexes.
The primary purpose of the dorml-
tory is to care for students of the Cir
Gle School District not having access
to a school and for students attending
the Circle High School. Since we have
sufficient room we are willing to ex-
tend the use of the dormitory and
make its purpose fourfold; namely,
first, to care for the children of our
own district not served by, school;
second. to accommodate high school
students; third, to care for children
sent here by other districts unable to
operate schools for all or part OF their
students; fourth, to care for pupils
sent here by individual parents who de
sire to take advantage of the superior
service rendered by our town school,
which will have teaching force of
six the ensuing year. The Circle
School will pay all the expenses of
l. 1xtr G
of the Circle district, and pro rata
charges will be made to children from
other districts
The matron is the most valuable as
set to a dormitory. Mrs. Belle M.
Whitman of Missoula has been chosen
for this position, and we feel very for
tunate indeed to have her accept the
position, and we have known Mrs.
Whitman personally for the last few
years and know her to be a woman of
refinement, culture, tact, and wide ex-
perience. She is woman In whose
care l would willingly intrust a child
of mine. With Mrs. Whitman as ma
tron the boys and girls will be given
more than a mere place to
eat and sleep. The boys place will be
in charge of well and favorably
known family who will make their
home in the same building. In all
cases will the school bear the respon-
sibilities, and nothing will be left un-
done that will materially effect the
welfare OF the children In our charge, |
Expenses will be kept down to-
minimum. Purchases from stores will
be made by bid only, which will enable
Us to get the best prices. Farm pro-
luce will be accepted in lieu of cash
rom persons having children In the
1ormitory. The pro rata costs in
school dormitories in neighboring
OWNS have been surprisingly low. A
good portion Of the work can be done
,y the students themselves. The girls
