Lockers and Toilet Rooms.

The main hall of the building
is 2Sx5S. Here are located
lockers for every pupil. Each
locker is provided with a special
key; thus any property that the
pupil may desire to deposit in
the locker will be safe.
The building is so equipped
that there are toilet rooms for
boys and girls on the first and
second floors and also in the
basement. There is an ante
room to the toilet rooms on the
first and second floors. Here are
found drinking fountains, which
are so arranged that they will
throw up a spray of water four
inches from the top of the bowl
AS no cup will be provided, the
pupil drinks directly from the
spray. This will protect against
the dangerous germs which are
always lurking in the common
drinking cup.
The First Floor.
The superintendent office is
located at the right of the main
entrance. Besides the usual
office furniture, is found a very
fine vault where the books,
documents and reports belong
ing to the district will be kept.
Here also is found the master
clock which regulates all the
dials in the different rooms.
On the left of the entrance is a
room set apart for the exclusive
use of the members of the faculty.
The two rooms which were at
first intended to be used by the
business department will pro-
badly be turned over to the
County Normal Training school
for the present. These rooms
are on the south side of the
building and will serve as a fine
home for the pupils who are
preparing themselves for
teachers.
In this grand building the
little folks are not forgotten
At the west end of the first floor
is located the kindergarten and
first primary rooms. Bathrooms
are reached by passing in at the
west entrance and up a short
flight of stairs. Thus the little
children are not obliged to pass
in at the main entrance. Off
from the kindergarten is a small
toilet room for the benefit of the
kindergarten and primary child
rem, and will be under the direct
supervision Of the teachers in
these two departments.
A room at the left of the main
entrance has been fitted up with
tables and chairs for the use of
those who are compelled to bring
their lunches.
The Second Floor.
On the second floor are located
the large assembly room and
four recitation rooms. The di-
mansions of the assembly room
are 7SxS0 feet. There are no
posts or columns, the ceiling
being carried on trusses. The
floor is inclined about three feet
the whole length of the room.
| The seats are individual and
adjustible, the space given to
each being fifteen feet. Every
two seats are fastened to strips;

The capacity of the assembly
room was well tested during the
commencement week. 1t is
estimated that about 1.5OO
people were provided for during
the night of the graduating
exercises.
To the left of the stage is an
alcove which will be used for a
library and reading room.
The principals office is located
to the right of the stage and is
really as much part OF the
main room as the library. 1t is
partly shut offtrom the assembly

idea being that the principal may

ing coils, it is partially heated
when it first comes from the
outside and flows in behind the
boilers and is drawn into a
double ending fan. This fan is
driven by a fifteen horsepower,
low pressure engine The fan
blows the partially heated air
through the other coils located
at either end of the fan chamber.
From these rooms the air passes
into hot air pipes running to
each room. The hot air room
or plenum chamber, has a divi-
sion floor in it. Into the lower
half is blown the cold air and
into the upper part, the hot air.
The amount of hot and cold air,
passing into each pipe, is
regulated by a damper, which
is operated automatically by a
system known as the Johnson
Service Company Automatic
Regulation. These hampers
open and close as the tempera-
ture of the room may be desired.
The air is really mixed in the
pipes leading to the rooms,
rather than in the hot air cham
bers, SO that when the heating
system is in actual operation
every room is under the control
of a thermometer placed in each
room. This automatic devise of
heating insures a purer and
better quality of air, in the
opinion of the board, than the
air that is heated by coming
into contact with red hot fur
naces. The saving in wood and
coal by using the automatic heat
regulation devise is estimated at
about rs per cent.
The heat regulation, the auto
matte program and master
clocks are operated by air pres.
sure from the pressure pumps
located in the basement of the
engine room and are a part o.
the apparatus furnished by the
Johnson Service Company.
Nearly 800 Lights in Building.
The wiring of the building was
done by George Huntington
The wires are extra heavy, being
known as 4, 8, 10 and ~, and
are capable of carrying any
current that may be turned upor
them. At present there are
nearly three hundred lights If
the building, there being 100 in
the assembly room alone. When
the lights are turned on at night
the building looks more like a
state capitol than an ordinary
high school building.
Manual Training and Domestic Science.
Manual training rooms will
be fitted up in the basement and
all the necessary appliances to
make it first class will be pro
vided. The domestic science
rooms, which were to be located
on the attic floor, will not be
put in at present, as it was
deemed best not to finish the
attic floor at this time. This
position was taken by the board
on account of the generous be-
quest by the late J. D. Witter O.
$4,000 tor school purposes
The sentiment of the board anc
the citizens in general seems to
be to erect a building to the
memory of Mr.. Witter where
the domestic science and manual
training departments and pos
sibly the new County Normal
school may find a home.
The school year is divided
into three terms of twelve weeks
each.

Students will be admitted
to the high school: (a) on present
ing a certificate of promotion from
the eighth grade; (b) on preseningt
a diploma Of graduation from a
district school; (c) on passing a
satisfactory examination in the
studiescovered in the graded
schools.
The tuition in the high school
for nonresident pupils is fifty cents
per week. This is charged to the
township fromwhich the pupil
comes in accordancewith the pro-
visions of the law governing the
payment by townships of tuition
of nonresident pupils.
1t is the opinion of the State
Superintendent that this law as
amended by the last legislature
permits the tuition to be charged
to the township from which the
pupil comes if the pupil has d.
ploma of graduation from the
country school, or is able to Sc
cure from theCounty Superinten-
dent a certificate Of the compile
ton by the pupil of the course Ct
study prescribed for graduation
from a country school. The
Board of Education and the City
Superintendent are not authorized
to admit pupils upon an examina-
ton given by them and charge the
tuition to the township as hereto
fore. Pupils who have not a diplo-
ma from the country school or a
certificate from theCounty Super
intendent will be obliged to pay
their own tuition. The tuition is
payable in advance.
Number Of Studies Allowed.
I The courses of study
adopted for this high school in
clude four studies in each year.
Since each requires five recita-,
tons a week, pupils are advised
not to attempt more than the
studies prescribed in the course.
An additional study may be
taken when the standing of the
student is s. per centor above in
each study. and if this standing
is not maintained at the end of
the semi-term the subject must
be dropped.

The new Lincoln high school
building is ready for occupancy.
All the plans have been carried
out to the letter. The architects
and contractors have received
their compensation in full. AS
result the people ofGrand Rapids
have today a magnificent school
edifice, complete, modern and
up-to-date in every particular.
Nowhere iii Wisconsin can be
found a public school building
which better combines utility,
convenience of arrangement and
economy of space, together with
comfort, perfect lighting and
ventiIating-all in one homo
geneous whole.
The Site OF the Building.
The land upon which the new
high school is located formerly
belonged to what was called
the Wood County Agricultural
and Mechanical association.
The city acquired twenty-five
acres by paying about 81, 700
of the society's debts. Last
year, at the request of the school
board, the city council decided to
the district about eight acres,
located in the northwest corner
OF the fair grounds. Here it was
decided to erect the new building
to be known as the Lincoln high
school.
Two Principal Requirements.
In December, 1901, the board
advertised for architects plans,
making two important requisites
"a gymnasium and an assembly
room, the latter to seat not less
than four hundred pupils, fifteen
feet of floor space to be given to
each pupil. The other necessary
rooms to accommodate this
number of pupils were to be
planned accordingly.
Contracts Let.
At the date set for the reception
of the plans, nine architects,
some from the city and some
from abroad, submitted their
drawings. After due considera-
tion of all the plans, the board,
upon the recommendation,
of the committee, adopted the
plans and specifications prepared
by Chandler and Park, of Racine,
Wis.
Bids were then advertised for.
T. Schmidt, of Chicago, Sc
cured the contract for construct
ing the building at a cost of
$44, 700. The contract for the
brick and stone work was sub
let to Jorgenson & Larson, OF
kenosha, by !. F. Schmidt.
The heating was let to B. F.
Sturdevant & company, OF
Boston, at a cost of 5000,
the plumbing contract was
awarded to the Centralia Hard
ware company at cost Of
$2,9S5, and the lighting to
George Huntington at a cost OF
$3.50.

PAID FOR THEIR LICENSES
Minnesota Hunters Dug Up the Price Q
Non-Resident Permits.

Grand Forks, N. d., Nov. 2-One of
the most difficult tasks that a game war
den in North Dakota has to perform is
to prevent hunting by non-residents on
resident permits. This has been tried in
several cases witt, varying success, but
there are a few cases in which the sue
cess Wos so poor that the experiment will
in all probability not be tried again.
A. few weeks ago Iame Warden Hale
was in the vicinity of Churchs Ferry,
and he met couple of men hunting
and approached them to see if they
were properly equipped with permits.
One Of the men was Hon David S.
Simpson, of Minneapolis, judge of the
district court. He informed Mr.. Hale
that he. rod resident permit, being
the owner of land in North Dakota, the
description of which he gave to Mr..
Hale. This proved correct Judge
Simpsons companion produced per-
init made out to j. ID. Simpson, IA cousin
| Of the Judge, who is also an owner oi
North Dakota land. This was inspected
and found to be in proper form II
happened that Mr.. Hale had in his pockei
at that particular time the name and
address of the man who called himself
~ ID. Simpson, who, instead of being
that particular person was C.J. Miner
auditor of Hennepin County. Minnesota
noh an ownefsef real estate ifrs Nertssii
Dakota, and not entitled to a resident
permit in that name Of himself or any
other person. Mr.. Hale had no evi-
dence at that time that Mr.. Miner had
been shooting and went on his way. A
little later he received a letter from
Judge Simpson acknowledging the at
tempt at impersonation and stating that
when Mr.. Miner came to the state he
Pwas under the impression that ''any old
permit" would be good enough, but after
seeing the warden and obtaining some
information otherwise he had changed
his mind, all had paid $25 for non
resident permit at Churchs Ferry.
A short time before this three other
Minnesota men hailing from Mcintosh
had used resident permits on improper
representations, but later sent in a
check for SIS for three nonresident per
| mits.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-The celebration OF
Halloween was responsible for the
