BROAD PLANS OF THE
M'kINLEY HIGH SCHOOL
The Mckinley High School. to be erected
on Missouri and Russell avenues, will be
ready for occupancy January 4. 1901. Ground
for this building was broken last June.
This school will relieve the Central High
School. on Grand avenue, of the extraordi-
nary pressure to which the latter has been
subjected for the past year.
In the Central High School there are now
$500 students. about 700 more than 1t was
originally designed the building should ac-
commodate.
When the Mckinley High School is opened
a district will be allotted to 1t that will vir-
tually comprise the whole Of the southern
part of the city.
1t is located within walking distance of
some of the largest schools that prepare
children for the high-school Instruction, in
Guiding the Hodgen. Clinton, Peabody.
Charles and Madison.
The Mckinley High School will give, in
the first place. an excellent literary and
scientific education to those who do not
wish to take uD manual training, though
manual training will be an important feat
ure OF the institution. which will have its
inauguration in connection with St. Louis
nlSh-school work with the opening of the
Mckinley High School.
III VIII furthermore furnish an excellent
preparatory course for any child who ia
ambitious to go to college.

tif1c departments will be so arranged az to

the variety in grouping and arrangement
OF the components of the landscape which
can be effected by such apparently aimless

Try a plan like this at the Fair grounds
some day. The most convenient gate. and
one as good as any, is that at the main
Forest Park drive. where the Dedication

Walk the curved driveway which covers
the River des Peres conduit. Fix the eye

In the center are two rows OF trees. which

The Masonic Grand Lodge o

The Masonic Grand Lodge of
Iowa is in session in Waterloo
this week. The statistics of
the year have just been COM
piled and shows a growth
which must be highly crafty
ing to every Mason in the state.
The number now upon the rolls
of lodges is 33,181 a net gain
since the last report of 1872.
The total Masonic membership
in the United States is 901, ,203.
The net gain of the year is
39,560. These figures show
that Iowa stands ninth among
the grand lodges of the United
States, in membership. The
fraternity has a history older
than any record. When ira

order that stood foremost in
morality, religion, justice and
truth, and in all its history it
has not lost an inch Of it's great
