.he increased enrollment which the

lforts of the efficient superintendent,
Prof. W. X Dendy, the present build

hink it advisable for the trustees of

juilding can be had. If they go to
work at ik they can have the new
1lmildin*g reaIy by the first of the

paid for so easy that the folks will not
know how it is done. What say you,
trustees? WVill you begin in time?
