The large Nicol i 3 estate which took up about half of the present towns! to was kept intact until 1786. \Countless legends have been pass- ed through the intervening genera- tions concerning the naming ol Isllp. The most entertaining if not the most plausible concerns the activity of cer- tain hostile Indian tribesmen. The country surrounding Iollp, especially Wes t SayviUe, harbored numerous Butch settlers. Their chief means of obtaining sustenance wis t h rough dairying. The land about their homes was fenced off for pasturage arid\ be- came as time went on well stocked with fine cattle. \ \ \The Indians ' treked\ the country un- convinced as to its inho g pltable in- gredients , but soon learned: the se- cret of a dairyman ' s , natural defence against savage attack.

It has been freely advocated by certain members of our ' School Board to pur chase a new site for a new is chool-'house on Chicken Hill.

VI u nd e rstand that Mr. Benjamin West has offered ten acres at $2 ,000 per acre. ; I understand Uiat the rea- son that . th is change had been urged was that we hadn 't enough land for an athletic field and that the presen t building- is too small. . » If I remember ;we have 7i4 acres of laid and by grading ' properly I be- lieve r we ;vjrould have . all the land re- quired at present and for a long 1 time to come.

I also wonder why Piorrepont Twlt- chel l is so inter ested In agitating school matters. Is it because he is so eundous to gallop into print ?

Did he act on his own option or did he act on poor advice In so doing before he knew anything regarding the school or the community?
