be made in some way.
The enrolment of the high school

Re-arrangement of room furniture
and science apparatus are, some of
the changes noticeable in Mr.. Heag-
ney's department, which he said were
necessary for additional space, rather
than for artistic improvements.
New shelves in some of the rooms
in the grades are planned, in order
to protect books and material from
unnecessary wear. If you should like
to see what use is made of new books
by the pupils in the grades, your visit
to the school ought not to be post
poned too long.
New supplies in the way of books
and material are coming in almost
daily 1t was found necessary to re-
place almost wholly the badly worn
equipment in some of the lower
grades As result thos has furnished
an opportunity for the adoption of
the best modern text books to be had.
The task of cataloging the books
and completion of systematic ar
rangement in the library has been
taken up by Mr.. Hatch. Naturally
this means no small amount of work
but he feels that the incl eased ben
eft to the student body from more
efficient use of the library will fur
nish sufficient reason for the Under
taking.
