Wild & Co. of Indianapolis bid only par for the bonds. Most of the township schools will start next Monday. In Marion township, where a new consolidated school building is being erected to take care of all districts south of the river and which will probably J not be ready for occupancy for at, least two months yet, Trustee Wood, will start the James, Putt, Wasson, atnd Pleasant Ridge schools Monday and continue them until the new building is ready. In Union, where a new building is being erected at Parr, and also one at Virgie, the trustee has rented rooms and these schools will open Monday. In Kankakee township, where a new build-j ing is being erected at Telit, school will probably not until the new building is completed. Work on the Marion township

consolidated school building, south of town, has been delayed somewhat by the non-arrival of brick, but is now being pushed as fast as possible. The brick walls are now four or five feet high and with good weather should be nearly or quite finished next week. It does not look possible, however, that the building could be completed ready for occupancy much before January 1. It would seem that the matter of erecting new school buildings should be taken up earlier in the season, that they might be completed by the time for schools to open. Here we have four new buildings in course of construction in Jasper county, the contracts for which were but recently let, and none of them can be completed for two months or more after time for school to take up. By the way, the outside walls of the Marion township building are being laid In colored mortkr, and any one seeing these walls would imagine that the brick is precsely the same as that used in the county hospital, which are laid in common white mortar and the walls look as though the brick were second-hand stock and had been taken from some old building that Jiad been through a severe fire. /
