M, stat- ed- convocation ‘at )lmnh: hall. ] The question of 'bullding 2 new school house at Windham Center or expending 2 large sum for repairs on the old ‘faild- ing tosk much of the atténtion at the meeting of the school board held Wed- nesday night in the seleétmien’s: office in the town building. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dr. F. E. Guild and reports from Secretary Edgar A. Case were read and approved 'as was the report of Truant Officer J. B. Paulhus reporting 26 cases for ‘the ' menth just passed. The resignation of J. D. Elmendorf as: Amer- icanization agent for the town of Wind- ham was read and accepts Mr. El- mendorf’'s resignation took effict May 1 and he took up his new work as indus- trial secretary eof.the Y. M. C. A. .of New Jersey at that time. It was veted that the salary of Miss Linnell, of the Ligh school faculty should Le pald for the week she wal forced to discontinue Women Made Young Bright eyes, a clear skintand a body full of you hgf work at the high school owing to quarantine for scarlet fever. s At this time Secretary Casc spoke of the condition of the Windham Center seheol, telling of the complaints received from the teachers of the falling plaster, ‘squeaking of the flooring and lack of heat in-the’ building. He stated that one of the three teachers at that school had resigned and the two remaining ‘would not teach there next year if the ‘building remained in the condition pre- vailing' at present. The building which is an old structure is of four rooms, three of which are used as class rooms. The average attendance at the school' is over 120. The ofloring of the building has been worn down so badly that ev- ery step brings forth a squeak, and the plastéring in many places shows signs of falling. The heating system has been out of use for several years, the fur- nace imstalled not being connected by pipes with the rooms. Several years ago the question of building a new school at Windham Center came up and in two cuccessive years appropriations of $20, #00 ‘and $15,000 respectively were voted to Be used in the building of a new school. Quotations as to the cost of the building have been so high that the ,000 raised would not cover the cost of construction but it is now thoughi possible - that a wooden structure of one or two stories with four rooms could be built for $35,000. The school has been growing and before the opening of the fall term either a new building should be ready or the old one fully repaired or the teacher could not be found to take lmlh-nhmyba' tharge of the school. It was finally voted that the repairs committee, Dr. W. P. S. Keating and George S. 1liott would confer with the building commit- tee to see what could be done {o remedy the situation, and a report be returned to yours if you will keep your system | ti.e school board as soon as the matter in order by regularly taking The world's standard remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and uric acid troubles, the enemies of life and looke.
