The well caught on fire and it was extinguished before it burned the cable. Steam had to be used to extinguish the blaze. No one is now allowed to go about the well while smoking.

The reproduction herewith is presented shows Falmouth’s new Graded School as it will appear when completed. The drawing was made for the Outlook by the architect, J. T. Gillis. Contracts are to be let this month and the work pushed to completion so that the building will be ready for occupancy for this fall ’s term of school. The building as planned calls for eight large class rooms, so arranged that additional class rooms up to a total of twelve rooms may be added as desired without altering any portion of the building. An auditorium gymnasium is also planned in the original structure. This building is designed according to the latest ideas in school house design. The lighting of all class rooms is arranged to come from the left side of the pupils and neither teachers nor pupils will be forced to face any windows. Corridors are to be enclosed in masonry walls and fire-proof floors are to be built in corridors so that pupils will be safe from any possible danger of fire. A modern school building is a thing that Falmouth has wanted for a long time and her citizens are to be congratulated on the fact that her hopes are now to be realized.
