But there was only one mistake made which seems very well. The reports, beginning with the first of the week were given out play by play by the Amrad Co. (Medford, Hillside, Mass.) having the game, thereby letting the "fans" know the score as soon as the game was over.

The exterior work on the new school house is drawing to a close. The remarkable weather of this fall has enabled the work to proceed with considerable speed. The brickwork is finished to the roof and the first line of stone is going into place. Above this stone is 15 inches more of brick, then the final cap stones, all of which should be finished in ten days. Inside the building a good deal of the studding is up and the greater part of the furring, so that the lathers can begin very soon. The plumbing work is started in the basement, and will proceed steadily to completion. The immense heating and ventilating system, which will cost about $10,000, is being installed by the Power, Heating and Ventilating Co. of Boston, under the direction of Joseph M. Johnson and William A. Bullock, both experts in this line of work. The heater is already set up. It is a Smith No. 60 boiler in two sections and is large enough to heat not only the present structure but also additions which may be constructed at some future time. Most of the main piping in the basement is done, and it is to be finished by Xmas. The entire work will be completed in February and the next Annual School Meeting in March should make provisions for a dedication with suitable exercises and then open the building for use with the spring term in April.
