At tho school meeting fn the Madras district held last Saturday aftenlqpn at the sohoolhousc, tho proposition of mak ing improvements in the present facili ties of the school, and to erect a new building or enlRrgc the old one, wafl voted down by those In attendance at the meeting. Owing to the disagreea ble weather there was not a large atten dance at the meeting, but the oppo nents of the proposed improvements appear all to havo been there, as tin) vote was overwhelmingly against both propositions, t ., . The first proposition submitted was that of Issuing bonds in the district and building a new schoolhouse at a cost.p about $3000. This proposition was de tented, and the proposition of adding on, to the present school building, no as to afford more room for tho growing school, waa then summittcd, and met a like fate. Tlio ecliool directors of the Madras district are wondering how they are go ing to provide quarters for the school next year, when at least one new room will be required. The present building has only three rooms and those are badly crowded. One of them, for in stance, tho primary department, lias 01 pupils, all under one teacher. The in termediate grades are almost as badly crowded, and they are also under one, It is absolutely ininoseiblc B00T-LE6GERS ARE BEING PROSECUTED under these conditions for the teachers, to secure the efficiency in these grades which they desire, ami it is imperative that next year one or two teachers be added to the corps. Since the vbtors at last Saturday's meeting havo declared against any improvements in the school building, it is up to the directors to provide rooms for four or five teachers in the present tbrec-room building. illtam Morton pleaded guiltv this afternoon in Justice J.
