A much needed improvement at the school house is the store-room that has been built in the basement, at the front of the building, by Supt Gross. Since the re-arrange- ment of the interior of the building about five years ago. the school has had no place to store such things as costumes used for enter tainments and programs, extra books, Christmas tree trimmings and many other articles. The result has been that many things have been lost or so scattered that they had to be replaced. Considerable damage by mice has been done to articles placed in the attic. The new room, materials for which were purchased by the City Council, is 12 by 12, we'll lighted and vermin proof. It is furnished with shelves and cupboards and will fill a long felt want.
