thoroughly cleaned and new paper hung

was oiled and the physical condition of
the building made very comfortable and
attractive
One move made in the brick building
places all the distinctively high school
work on the second floor of that build
ingthe placing of the laboratory up
stairs This will be a time saver and
conduces to greater convenience
The schools of the city were dismissed
for today on account of the presence of
the great circus in the city to enable
