lead in buying over hundred desks for the build.
ing and with the number that the school board
placed in the building filled the rooms full, and
there is no more room for desks IL they had them.
but there is room enough to wedge in few chairs
in the corners. etc. and this little girl was going
to do that very thing A lot Of folks stayed at
home last summer who should have been interested
enough in the school to vote in the election to
increase the tax in this district in order to take
care OF the operating expenses oil the schools. and
let few Of the 'aginncrs' defeat the proposition.
