the rented building, Warnick's Hall, if
be made in the first grade, will be used
to it's full capacity.
The attendance in our high school
8 has been much over ninety per cent.
for the year, more than forty boys and
girls present each day. Next year we
expect to have an increased enroll
ment in the high school of twenty boys
and girls.
We, as community and as individ-
uals, interested in the schools of Gar
rett county, have been actively engag-
ed in helping to further the school in
terests of Garrett county. Now that
the budget is being prepared for the
next school year, may we not ask you
to make provision also for the much
needed school building for Kitzmiller?
AS set forth previously herein, a
heating plant has been planned and
urged for several years for the Acct
dent elementary and high school build
ing. A petition, signed by SO citizens
and taxpayers of Garrett county and
patrons of the Accident public SCHOOL,
has been recently received at this Of
fee, and reads as follows:
Accident, Md, March Is, 1921.
To the Honorable, the Board of Edu-
cation of Garrett county
We, the undersigned, citizens and
taxpayers of Garrett county and pat
rons of the Accident public school, do
hereby petition your honorable body

siners of Garrett county, and not only
recommend, but beg of them for an
appropriation of sufficient funds to
place a heating plant in the Accident
school building.

sires to set forth in reference to suita-
BILE and adequate buildings:
