CLOSE THE SCHOOL HOUSE

Hendricks, Mimi, January 81
While most people are anxious to
make the school house the social
center for the. community Hendricks
people-or at least great many Of
them-are right to the contrary. By
action of the board of education the
local school house must now be clos
ed for all purposes between the hours
of Z p. m. and am. This prevents
the holding Of evening entertain
ments of any sort in the school
house and considerable criticism has
come as a result of the boards act
ion. A petition bearing the names OF
over a hundred free holders in the
school district demanded of the
board that the school building be u.s.
ed for no purpose other than for
school purposes and this led the
board to issue it's order concerning
the closing vof the school house ey-
enings.
