The Prudential Insurance Company OF America is

present president. John F. Dryden, United States
Senator from Jersey. now a leader In banking
and other large enterprises. In 1915 the Prudential
Insurance Company founded. From its tncep-
ton Mr.. DRYDEN was Of the leading spirits of
the enterprise For several years he was secretary
and when Noah =. Blanchard, the president re-
tired Mr. Dryden succee0ed him at the head Of the
concern.
The steady faith, the uncomfortable Will and in
donaitable energy of Mr.. Dryden carried the COM
pany through several crises and overcane many
formidable difnculttes until the company became
firmly planted and began its great growth From
the basement Of the State Bank the institution
moved into the Krernin Building. and thence to the

PORTABLE sCHOOLHoUsEs.

remedy has been found for the relief of crowd
ed schools in large cities. This is known as the
portable school building. Few Of the larger towns
of the United States have yet inaugurated them.
but before many years have passed the idea
brought to this country from Paris will have be-
come familiar to sChoolgoers well as school
teachers. says "Harper's Weekly.
The school on wheels sounds like Western idea.
where houses are frequently builded upon wagons,
that the owners may move about to suit their
convenience. So, instead of going to their home.
they have their home brought to them In St.
Louis where the schools have become crowded
until good teaching almost impossible. these
portable buildings have done much toward the re-
lief of the situation
The idea of portable school buildings first came
from Paris. then the idea reached the unlted
States about five years ago. and Milwaukee was
the portable fa schoohouse. the Plan was great
success Several large Eastern cities have within
have portable schoolhouses as part of the edu-
cational facilities
In ST, Louis there has been a great influx of peo-
pie on account Of the worlds Fair When the city
enormous but the schools were well able to caTs
all that saves them. and when in any neighbor-
hood there is a likelihood of an overcrowding. a
pTesent there are scFoohouses Of this
kind in the Worlds Fair city. and all of them are
These portable school buildings are 50 c9n con-
them sent anywhere at any time. They are easily
taken apart and moved from one schoolhouse to

the portahlas made of frame. rs by &c feet
inside measurement. with a clearstory height OF
twelve feet. The floor constructed in eight sec
tions. the sides in six sections. the ends in four
sections and the pitched roof in sixteen sections
Each section is built upon frames which are readily
boted together in such a manner to make per
fectly tight and all joints between the
sections covered both inside and out by movable
pieces secured With screTs The rooms are heated
casing The fresh air IS taken directly from the
outside. which supply cannot be cut OF by the

The valuable point is the readiness with which a
portable school can be sent into a neighborhood
that becomes suddenly overcrowded. and where the
studies of those who have been In regular attend
