 The walks which arc not cement cd arc being covered with sCreeniNG' ito lessen the amount of dirt traCl.rd into the building
 At the Broad street school AArl Johnson is in charge of the work. In the wooden building a new cess pool is being dug near the old one, with an intCrCOnncClion, so that an overflow from the former will be relieved by the newly added pool. This has been found 10 be the only practicable solution of the difficult problem which faced the school re- pair committee.
 A new metal ceiling is being con- structed in the Grade S-A room, where the plaster has been falling down.
 In tho brick building the policy of rchnishing the ceiling and woOd- work of one room each year has been inaugurated, as these were con sidcrably smoked up during the war, when it was necessary to use soft coal. This summer Principal O. l.. Judd's office and the Grade 4-B room arc being renovated.
