The School Board, through Chair
man William B. Jester. recently COM
municated with the trustees and Of
ficials Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and requested permission 70
use the lecture room for the kinder
garten pupils. The question was re-
ferred TO the Board OF Stewards, which
voted TO allow the school the use OF
the lecture room, free of cost, pro-
vided the Schol Board furnish the coal
and also repair damages. The School
Board is pleased with the action OF the
church. The church is close 20 the
school building and also has a fine,
large lawn for playground. The
crowded condition OF the school makes
an expansion necessary and with the
acquisition Of the Methodist Church
lecture room there are now three
buildings in town which are being
used for school purposes: the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church lecture
room, the second story of William y.
testers drug store and tho lecture
room OF the NJ. r. Church. The lee
ture rooms of the churches viii be
used for kindergarten and primary
children, while the second floor Of Mr.
TESTERS store is being used by the
boys in the manual training depart
