The P. T. A. will hold its last
meeting of the year Friday evening t
at o'clock. At this time the new
officers will be installed and short {
program rendered. On the same eve i
ming at the same place, as soon as I
he P. T. A. meeting is over, the +
subject of consolidation and a new T
school building will be discussed.
George Williams. president of the O
State Board of Education, has been T
invited to attend this meeting. Come C

latiOn or against it. Nv

he efficiency of the FrankfOrd a
schools by voting in favor of con-

If the other four districts vote in S
avor of consolidation, they will e
lave taken the first step necessary
or a new building. A few of the d
many advantages of a modern IL t
'oOm central building are:
The high school curriculum would
,e broadened, enabling the students d
o take special subjects such as t
ype writing, manual training, agri- t
culture, bookkeeping and many d
,ther useful and practical subjects. y
Both the children and the teachers "
would be enabled to do more efficient
york. No longer would the same tea c
her be compelled to teach all the +
rades; neither would the pupil be E
to get all his outside help a
t home. Modern equipment and sup b
lies would also add much to eff r
iency Better library facilities g
7ould aid the student in doing his
work. Cramped con- b
itions would be eliminated. No ei
Dnger would it be necessary for two g
r three children to occupy a seat "
Intended for one. Old store buildings tC
o longer fit for commercial use
-ould not have to be used for j
choOl purposes. The children Of
'ould have a decent room for gen. II
raj assembly and the P. T. A. would te
ave a place to meet. The old seats

red school would be exchanged for ly
lodern seats. The principal could pl
pend his time supervising one
uilding instead of "trotting" all X

nd ventilating systems would be in de
allied. A gymnasium and ample is
Iayground provided; pure water H
