A. Addison, speaking for' the property committee, advocated a progressive plan of refloorinp, the classrooms similar to the woek done in the old science room. The flooring has been firmly nailed down, quarter-round and' linoleum has been laid, El Jtinkin, teacher of agricul- ture, approached the Board with a request for permission to build an addition to the greenhouse, the same size as the original section put up last year. Mr. Junkin said that at present there is not enough room for a class to work at one time, and the students do not have enough apace for their projects. There are about 82 students -in agriculture, split into five classes. Mr. Junkin mentioned agriculture grants paid to the school, of about $2,500 of which only $600 would be spent this year under existing plans. He suggested getting the additional 'greenhouse, -(coat $432 plus foundation costs) from- this fund. Further research will be made regarding the heating plant, otherwise the Board was in favour of this project. Mr. Junkin also proposed adding a poultry project to the program being taught in agriculture; sug- gesting that the hens could be kept in cages, suspended from the ceiling in the workshop. Here they could be cared for, records kept, training in candling eggs, market- ing and caring for the birds .could be carried out. The Board agreed to this project, for which the cost will be about $35. The next meeting night of the CDCI Board will be on Wednes- day, October 3.
