This has all I been removed to keep pace with what i i- called modern progress and civilian- i lion. The "sounding board" from s I his church has been placed in the muse11in t?l Newberry college as ;j i curiosity. x 11 was a mistake to try to modern- i ize these old churches by ' iking down t I lie quaint old pulpits nd sounding boards.

Your most careful attention ncstly invited to the l'ollowii temcnt of the joint conuuittoe dings: That the city of Newberry h: tit no money in permanent scho lipmcnt in nearly twenty years. !. That our buildings are altogetl inadequate to our needs. That Newberry is behind ot-ln ins of like size in school facilitic ng very far behind most of tlietn I. That Newberry's levy for ?i iool purposes is loss than that < ier towns with which the commi is acquainted, being much le in many of thonv >.

The latter is the ideal a igonient. It will take the plans i architect and the bids of builde determine whether it is within oi ich. This much is certain, the fir in can be carried out with $3( ).00 or even less. And it. is b ved that the second one will n it more.
