A Long Cherished Dream That Game True
A dream that originated many>ears ago has now come true as work progresses from day to day on the new campus training school. The building will
house grades from .the kindergarten to the sixth, and will be situated on the site of the recently torn down grandstand: An auditorium and playroom
are also included in the architect's sketch. The new structure will probably be finished in about a year and will be. ready for use in the fall of 1941.

serve as a basis for integrating the
work of the school with that of the
home in child raising.
