(Leesburg Journal.) The meeting held Saturday afternoon to discuss the question of providing adequate room for the Leesburg and Plain township schools, was largely attended by patrons and tax payers from aid parts of the township. A number of good short talks were given by Dr. 'Fermier, W. B. Stookey, Mr, Esslg, J. E. Baer and others. There was some talk about building a new building, but a majority of those present favored the plans practically agreed upon by the Advisory Board and Trustee for building an addition to the north and east of the present building to take care of the immediate needs of the school. The report had been circulated in town that it was the intention of abandoning the high school, or at least reducing the stan-

dard to a point where the commission would be taken away. Mr. Stookey of the Advisory Board, was present and assured the patrons that there was no • intention on the part of the board or 1 trustee, of lowering the standard of l the i-chooi, but they would endeavor :* in every way possible, to raise the j standard. The meeting finally voted *j to place the entire matter in tae hands *j to place the entire matter in the hands 5 do what in their judgment was best J There was a fine spirit at the meeting, j and we believe it will result in a bet- 'j ter feeling and understanding between •! the patrons of the different parts of 3 the Township.
