DURHAM. out. THURSDAY MARCH 26,1914 In.-- Ann-“A- a“: - I The High School n-hnspector was here last week to look over the‘ various sites suggested for, the' new building, and word has since‘ been received from the Depart-! ment that his recommendatiOn of} [the Edge property 1north of thel skating rink, has been approvedi of. We presume , (now the. sitel question has beem finally settled and trust that everybody will lbe satisfied. As we said on for- lmer occasions, we Would prefer ‘som-ethimg better, but 'we are really \at a loss to suggest any- thing that would meet the re-_ iquirements of the Department. |Two acres are available on ’the site selected, and to get this amount of Land in any other suit- ‘able location in \town would ’ not. be an easy matter. The Inspector Would like four acres for sch‘Ool purposes in places where land is not too expensive, and an acre is the smallest amount which will be approved of 1n large towns and cities. We are unable to say whether wO-rk will commence 'this summer or not, but presume the: board. will make all possible speed.‘ Flesherton High School, on a .larger scale, has been referred to: by the Inspector as a class of building that would suit our re- quirements, and in all probability the board will 1give the suggestion due consideration. We believe the Fleshertom building is considered an excellent structure, and being provided with all neceessarv 1 equipment, it ranks high amongst the smaller High Schools. The . building is quite an imposing 1 structure, and the cost will be ; within our limits, or nearly so.
