owing to adding the four year
work to the local high school course
It was necessary to procure an addi-
tional outside room. The Methodist
Church social room has been pro-
Cured and the first grade, Miss Anna
Marvil, teacher, transferred there.
This gives the entire second moor
of the public school building to high
school classes exclusively.
The chairs for the Methodist
Church room arrived yesterday.
That the present school building
is inadequate is proven by the Board
OF Education being compelled 10 use
two outside rooms for the lower
grades. Besides transferring the
first grade pupils to the above mem
toned room. the social room OF the
Episcopal Church has been in use
for tha past two years. A move I
ment has been started to request the ,
next legislature to appropriate suf-
fcient funds TO finance the erection I
OF a new school building, for high
school purposes. A tract Of land
suitable for the purpose has been
chosen and an option obtained for
this building.
