 The large increase in tho number Of school children each year in the town shows the necessity of the town soon building now building which will be used solely for q High school At the present time there are a great number of people in the town who are Of the impression that the building on Linden street, con- structed this year. is q high school but this is wrong as the school is primarily a graded school with a few rooms being. used for the high school classes Who're is no high school in Plainyillc at the present time and If the number of children increase, 1t will be necessary in the very near future, 10 secure another school to accommodate them.
