RURAL SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS Article 1 LAINFORD SCHOOL On account of the marked Improve ment that have been made in the ru ral school buildings within the past I year in 1 .aureus county, the Adver tiser has decided, at the request of I Supt. Pitts, to run a series of articles ! treating of those schools that have ! put up new buildings, w Ith each ar ticle will be a picture of the building I itself. These articles will, In most cases, be written by t:ie teachers of ! the different schools. i The tirst article will treat of the Lanford school, which has just had a : new building completed. The fo"owlns; letter has been re ceived at this olllce from Supt. Pitts: Editor of Advertiser: I hand you herewith a cut of the . m-w school building at Lanford, and an article on "Improved Conditions of ' School at Lanford. The picture of the . building was made by Mr. L. A. Mc |_I efficient and energetic superintendent. Ceo. I.. PHtS. There are two main entrances to the building, leading into large cloak-rooms. From both of these through four swinging doors, access can be given to any of the well-light ed, well.ventilated class-rooms. Roll ing partitions, bought tit an expense of $300, permit the class-rooms to bo thrown into a large auditorium, with a platform and music room at back. The building was erected at a cost of ; $2.tlU0; of this amount $t>tio was ap- j propiiated by the state and county and ! the rest raised by special taxation. No pains were spared in the erection of j the building and it is beautifully fin- . ished Inside and out. Special thanks ' and credit are flu? to Mr. YV. II.

That "men may rise on stopping stones of their doad selves to higher thi:ii-'s" is as true today as when the author first penned the lines. That pupils may do the same is , tptnlly true that an old school building, alter hav. Ing served "its day nn l generation" iu moulding the character of tho pu pils, may also do the same. Is also be yond question. Two yetll school was begun at Lanford Station, with new teaHu rs. in a dilapidated, almost uninhabitable building of apparently great age; a most unsuitable place for tie- training of minds ami tie- shaping of human destinies.
