Location and construction of a schoolhouse debated
An editorial argues the site choice for a new school is as important as the building itself. It stresses convenient grouping for supervision, town beautification, and broad use of a central assembly hall as a community center, endorsing High street between Court and Church streets as the best site while noting three other options, one near the Fast Burial Ground is unsuitable.

School site debate weighs cost and community value
The discussion centers on two High street plots and the Sayer property for a new school. Proponents favor the site opposite the common for access and aesthetics, while another option north of High street offers lower cost and playground value. The committee notes long term service of a brick building and aims to beautify a street eyesore.
