': We Need a School Bnilding.
Our people should interest
themselves about a new Aca
demy. building ' at this place.
We re having the best and
largest school in the history of
the town. There is one draw
back the inadequacy of the
building and its lack of accom
modations and comforts. In
order to build up a permanent
scbool, the building must be
such as to afford modern com '
forts and accommodations." Our
present building- is defective
and inadequate; ahd is not prop
erly furnished, his must be
remedied, and it should be done
right away. Cannot our peo
Dle fall uoon some plan to. se-
cure a new building, or at last
to repair and furnish tho old
oner . jnow is me time 10 act.
Our school is already larga too
large for the accommodations,
but it iwould soon be larger if
we had a better building. Study
' seriously about this ma.tter,
and jets have a new building.: .
