SCHOOLHOUSE WORK The only delay or hindrance worth speaking. of that has occurred In the work on the high school building wus the mislaying in shipment of ten boxes of tin plates for the xoof. , But for that the roof would be done now. The plastering in the upper rooms is done, The cement sills for the wla- dows have been put in. The water spouts at the corners have been put in place. Since the work has come to such an advanced stage, the changes from time to time are lens noticeable. One of the most striking things to a visitor, when he gees on tfce grounds now, is the dwindling .-f the piles of material that used to fill so much space on the ground. OPE!
