Bristol ...l - School and Building Brist.ol Township has long been a leader in progressive education. The first building was large enough to accommodate a special school district. In 1915 the township was cen- tralized . A nine room building was erected to care for the children. In 1926 the enrollment increased beyond the capacity of the building. A bond issue was voted, and a modern gymnasium and auditorium, a large assembly hall, and five other rooms were added. The present enrollment is 305. Not all the rooms are occupied. The curriculum has been expanded to include chemistry, vocal and instrumental music, and a complete com- mercial course. Bristol has a modern school in every respect. It is one of which the Bristol folks arc justly proud. BOARD OE EDUCATION Lejgbogiighll Edward Messick, ltlrs. Gladys VVilliams, V. Pres. J. S. Van Dervort., Pres., W. S.
