The work of demolishing it was plished by the agencies of dynamite and fire. The building was a substantial stone sstructure, thoroughly equipped with patent desks and having all the improvements nec- essary to the comfort of scholars. Some months ago an attempt was made to burn it down. The door was broken open and the stove overturned, but, aside from the burning of a few holes in the floor, no dam- age was done. As if maddened by this failure those who hoped for its destruction | waited until last Monday night when, with the use of dynamite, it was wrecked and fired. The building is a total loss, with all of its contents. The school term would have ended next week. The case of this school house is one of considerable interest, since it has already heen a bone of contention in the courts of Centre county. About two years ago David McCloskey, Jr., and his son-in-law, Jeffrey Walker, brought suit against the school board of the Curtin district to compel the directors to afford educational facilities for their respect- ive families, consisting in all of about nine accom- | children of school age. Judge Furst ap- pointed Hon. John A. Woodward an in- | spector to take testimony in the case and render his report. The testimony taken showed that McCloskey and Walker lived about four miles north of the nearest school house, which is Quay’s Romola, and about two miles from the set- tlement on the top of the Allegheny moun- | tains. It was also shown by the testimony | that the school directors had for several | terms employed a teacher and held a school | in one of the complainants’ houses, but for | school at | some reason or other had stopped off one | term after the suit had been brought. court decreed that proper school facilities should be offered the complainants’ child- ren.
