Affecting Teachers.

A lunchroom among the rafters of the
school building will be provided for the
hoy pupils of High School. according &c
plans made by the Committee on Instruc-
| ton of the Board Of Education at meet
ing held yesterday afternoon.
This decision was the result OF request
from Principal Bryan to provide more room
for his young hopefuls. who have been SO
crowded in the recreation quarters on the
third floor that the MONDAY repasts have
been attended with difficulties.

jam has been entirely too convenient for
those strenuous students who are not al
ways careful to observe the Tenth Com
mandment which SAYS thou shalt not
a piece of pie or a particularly choice sand
witch. and the fellow next to you happens
to choose it and is big enough to lick you,

SUGGESTED BY A STUDENT.
For answer to his own question. the
student indicated that removal to the al
cove under the roof was an excellent solu-
ton of the problem: The room there 10
pupils on special occasions to go OF into one
corner alone and make way with select
viands. before an involuntary division Of
the food can be effected. OF course the boys
are generous to one another. but II u gener-
ally admitted that sometimes a healthy
youths appetite is his first consideration
A member of the committee remarked that
the climb to the quarters among the raft
ers, adjoining the laboratories. is rather
sharp one. but the students will not mind
1t. They seem pleased with the prospect OF
living high.
