T. H. White, Mrs. Geo. r. Dawson and
Mr.. II. B. Branch, ii looks as If the es-
tablishment of the proposed boys
high school or secondary college, which
was awarded Chester something more
tnan g. year ago, is more remote and
hazy than ever; and possibly lost to

secretary of the board, said there is an
opportunity to acquire the Spartan
academy, and convert 1t into the kind
of school that it was proposed to es-
tablish here; but if the Spartan acad-
emy is taken over and enlarged, there
would be no need of another school of
the same character in Chester. DR..
Jones went on to say, however, that
while the board has no funds available
at present, If Chester desires to go
ahead on the proposition the board
would stand to it's agreement In view
of the financial conditions now exist
ing the Chester committee was able to
give no assurance Of anything for the
present, and there the matter stands.
