The country school house at Mansfield Four Corners was de- stroyed by fire Friday morning, the building. being burned to the ground.{ Nothing with the exception of a few books, the teacher's desk, stove and wall map was saved as the fire had gained considerable headway when it was discovered. The fire was discov- ered about 7 o'clock Friday morning by M. H. Parker who lives near the school, and he called several neigh- bors by telephone. It is not known just how the fire started. There was no fire in the stove since the day be- fore. It apparently started in one end of the building where the wood was kept- for the stove as when it was first seen the flames were breaking through the roof over this end of the building. Twenty-five puplls attend this school, most of whom lost books and other personal belongings. No arrangements have been made for re- suming sessions of the school but the 2uthorities will endeavor to malke ar- rangements so that the sessions can be resumed in a few days.
