equipped structures of' its class among Ohio country school edifloes.. Prior to its fraction. New Paris had its

village school, and Jefferson township had the usual number of one and two room. MChooS. r- atlcred at various points ... . -.: Now Paris formed a special schooi

district, up to 1915, -when it was decided to hold a special election, which resulted in the village district becoming a part of the township district. Following this action the township boar5 of education called an election iu April, 1915, on the question of centralization and a bond issue of $55,OOU. The vote was two to one in favor of both issues. This being settled the p-jrehase of 10 acres of land, just northeast of the village was coasum-

ated and on this site the building was immediately begun. Occupied in October, 1916. The work was rushed and the building was ready for occupancy in October, 1916. The work was done before this country had entered into the World war, and before the peak prices for material and labor was reached. In consequence, the cost of the land and structure was much lower that the cost would have been at any time since that date. Indeed, during our own war days ;no such a building could

have well been constructed, as will bs remembered, owing to the conservation of labor and materials for war uses. Is a Community Center. . This spacious edifice is now a community center. Chautauqua courses, lectures, farm institutes, community sings, and all meetings of farm organizations, are held within its doors. It has much to do with the culture and uplift of the town and countryside as a place to hold club meetings and for other gatherings of a social and educational character. Closing Day Events.
