Additional School Rooms.

The special committee appointed by
the school board at their regular meet
ing to investigate the schoolroom
needs of the district for the ensuing
year, met in Mr.. Hurts Office We'd
nesday afternoon and agreed on the
following report To build two addi-
tiOnal rooms to the Second ward
building, two additional rooms to the
Third ward, four rooms ad ditional to
the Gross building in the Fouri h
ward and two additional to the old
Fourth ward building, making ten
rooms in all. These with the three
vacant rooms on the west side would
give the district thirteen rooms more
than were used last year.
We have always advocated plenty
of room for our schools but this com
n,ittee report is rathera sumner. We
can't quite get 1t through our heads
yet that so many rooms are needed at
present. We believe that we will soon
grow to it, but doubt the policy OF
building all these rooms at the pres
ent time We cannot think that it
Will take thirteen more teachers next
year than this to take care of the chill
dren of the district. Should the re-
port of this committee be the senti-
ment of the board, it looks to US now
like the same kind of a sentiment
pervades the board that existed last
year: You give us what we want or
you can't have what you need" We
rather think this PROPOSE tion will be
modified In full board meeting.

Oscar was model young man of

A COLLEGE GIRLS IDEA.
ny Diligent study to Become an Ex-
pert Dietist, She Secures .
Good Position.

The graduate of q woman's college
who recently was engaged by the
New York department of charities as
consulting dietician appears to have
discovered an entirely new field OF
endeavor for members of her sex
who have received liberal educa-
ton. Moreover, it is one in which
the possibility of male competition
Is very slight, says the New York
Times.
While studying at college, the
young woman realized that it was
possible for her to become an expert
on matters of diet, and planned her
course to that end. Though not an
executive, she will soon be one of the
most important officers of that
branch of the city government, be-
cause she is sent upon Investigations
on everything concerning foods, their
preparation, their. nutriment, and
their serving in the various institu-
tions. She reports directly to and
consults with the commissioner.
She has studied so as to be prac-
teal and scientific, too. She can
cook. from soups to cake, and she
has Prof. Atwater's food researches
at her fingers end. Along with old
fashioned housekeeping she took up
biology. physiology. chemistry and
domestic science. A man would have
q hard time competing with her un-
less he was an expert cook and had n
good working knowledge of house
wifery.

Miss AdaIr Plays Well

Miss Rhona Adair, the woman gelf
champion of Great Britain, is playing
wonderful game since her arrival Mt
New York. At the Baltusrol links she
set new mark for women golfers,
making the long ls-hole course in 80.
Miss Adair had never been on the
links before, and in consideration of
that the going was remarkable.
The illness of Mrs. A. Il. Manice,
the metropolitan champion, prevented
her meeting Miss Adair in a friendly
tilt, but Miss Adair and Miss j. Spence
teamed up against Miss Frances c.
Griscom and Mr.. w. Fellowes Morgan.
Aside from the novelty of the affair
the match assumed an international
flavor, and America came out second
best, Miss Adair and her partner win
ming by four up and three to play
All interest centered in the efforts OF
Miss Adar to break the women's rec
ord for the links, and her success,
coming as it did only after brilliant
finish, proved doubly gratifying.
