Harrington Wants More Class
Rooms; 72S Pupils On Roll


and discovering that about 40 per
cent can be saved in construction by
adding to the present building that
is under construction, citizen meet
ing was held in the First National
Bank Monday evening, to discuss the
subject and get the opinion of some
of the citizens of the town. Harry S.
Harrington was selected as chair
man of the meeting, with Horace E.
Quillen as secretary. j. c. Messner,
superintendent of the schools, in
formed those present that the en-
rollment is now 72S pupils with
twenty teachers employed. Three -u-
raj districts that voted to consoli-
date with Harrington are still in
operation, and will continue until
the new building is finished. A care
full estimate has been made and the
new building added to the present
building will not accommodate all
from the rural districts. Therefore
it is considered a good business
proposition to add two class rooms
with lavatories on the second floor,
now when it can be done at saw
ing. 1t is estimated the addition will
cost about $4,000 and to provide
this money at once, it is the plan
to borrow it with the backing of 25
or more citizens, with the hope that
the next legislature will relieve
them of their obligation. Among
other speakers present were Senator
Wilbur E. Jacobs, L. G. Markert and
H. J. Ramsdell of the local school
board; Warren T. Moore, George w.
Swain and County Republican Chair
man Robert X. Jones, who spoke at
length on the subject and also out
lined the plan from which school
taxes are received. A telephone
badly needed at the high school has
been installed.
