SCHOOL BOARD
 HOLDS MEETING
Is Last of YearY0fe to Inc stall Fire Escapes on
 Building

held in the oflce of Superintendent of Schools Harry s. Fisher in the Town Hall last evening. Among the matters discussed, it was decided to install two new flres escapes on the Main street school building. in Terry lville. This building is among the poorest in condition in the entire system and 1t was deemed advisable to add two new fire escapes. A great many changes have been advocated in this. building by an inspector of the state board of education.
 The meeting also voted to notify the board of selectmen that they wished to dispose of the ,Greystone school, one of the few remaining Little Red School Houses" in the town of Plymouth. This school has been closed for ten years with the pupils being transported to Terry vile. Efforts have been made by the school committee to keep this build ling boarded up due to the good con- the boards would be pulled off of the windows or doors and damage done to the building.
 other rural scholos have been dis
  lschool and the Baldwin district |school. The Allentown school has also been disposed of. The Grey stone school was in the best condi- tion of any of the outstanding rural schools with the possible exception of the new East Plymouth school The building is located a short dis tance from the old clock factory, one of the first clock factories in Amer- ica and a short distance from the many vacant houses located in Grey |stone, that section of the town rep. |resenting a deserted village at the present time. although at one time lit was a thriving factory village. Should the school committee at some future time. receive a petition to open a school in the Greystone district, 1t would be open on a new location and in a more central loca- tion in thct section. Park Is Attractive The triangle piece of land at the head of East Main street which was donated to the state of Connecticut by. William B. Futile a few months |aso has been graded and number of bushes set out on it by the land |scape department of the state high. way department. It is thought that this little piece of land is the small est state park in the state.
