Description

SCHOOL SITE SELECTED
ADVENTISTS LOCATE DENOMI-
NATIONAL SCHOOL ONE
MILE EAST OF FALLON.
Arrangements and transfers were completed this week by which W. A. Harmon donated to the board of the Seventh Day Adventists Church 10 acres of land situated one mile east of Fallon, on the south side of the road and adjoining the raised ditch between the farms of Mr. Harmon and Senator Dolf. The school also has the privilege of acquiring additional land from Mr, Harmon.
The board will hold a meeting in February at the bay when more definite plans as to the size and type of building will be made. However, it is expected that a two-story structure will be erected, sufficient for the needs of the section, including all intermediate grades and manual training. Additional buildings will be erected as requirements demand.
This community is fortunate in having such an educational institution located within its bounds. The Adventists established the first church. in Lahontan Valley, the building first being located at St. Clair and a few years ago being moved to Fallon. Its members were among the pioneers of this county and are counted among our, very best citizens. Elder J. Adams Stevens has been here this week arranging details relative to the acquiring of the site.
