NORTH EAST'S
SCHOOL NEEDS
Cost Of Proposed New Structure Pre-
senfs Somewhat OF A Problem

President Patterson. pursuant to the
agreement reached last week by the
County Scho4s! Board and the County
commissioners, had th. North East Pub
lie Sch"nl building examined on Satur-
rgy by Mr.. Il. \. Whittinghnm. an En-
ginccr and Architect. in the service Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. in
the prr>rNcr of both bodies. Mr. Whit
tingham'> rrrurt made direct was AS
follows:
"Thc house is rapidly falling to pieces;
it is not safe for children. ond | would
not advise that it be repaired. The
foundation walls are uot thick enough,
and they are of very poor material: the
mortar is not much more than sand.
The wallis above are not thick enough
for the height. | would not send my
children to it. You might have IL bad
accident"
The two bodies conferred again on
Tuesday upon the matter of n new
building. After considerable discussion,
in which it wIS held and admitted that
the Svhuol Board had full power to de-
tcrminr the need of and proceed with the
erection of Il new structure, subject only
to rcaSonablrnc>S of cost in its conStruc-
ton. the matter was left to that hody's
discretion. 1t seems to be clear that the
County Commissioners could not avoid
providing for the cost of Il new building,
if the School Board saw fit to have one
erected. and how best to meet its cost
is the problem presented. The matter,
practically. rests with the School Board,
which body will n0t likely proceed has

Banana Is a Real Food.

Professors of dietetics tell us that the banana is not, as so many fruits are, flavor and nothing more, but a food and a source of real nutriment. It IS at once useful and delicious. It not only gratifies the palate, but sup plies material for combustion and the maintenance of animal heat, while it also builds up the muscles and re- pairs the worn and threadbare nerves.
 The flour made from it in its dried state is equal in nutritive value to vice, and how invigorating and sus- taining rice is has been demonstrated in the recent achievements of the Jap- anese. Dried and sprinkled with sug- ar form in which 1t has been re- gently introduced into this country, the upstart banana is, weight for weight, as nutritious as the vener. able fig.
 But it is in the fresh state, clad in its primrose tunic-the stripping off of which is in itself fascinating op- eration-that the banana chiefly ap- peals to us. It's creamy succulence and delicate odor are inviting and its pleasant sapor is prelude to good digestion. Dependent as that sapor is on an ethereal body which the coal tar investigators have not yet been able to initiate by any chemical es- sence, it is subtle stimulus to all subsequent alimentary processes. And thus it is that the banana is an emi- nently digestible food. No sense of oppression or drowsiness follows meal of it, and meal of it may be made bulky enough.-Pall Mall Ga Zette.

One morning an Italian, leading his little daughter by the hand, entered one of the public schools in large provincial town and stood in the hall, his hat tucked under his arm and his eyes seeking the passers-by in amiable appeal. A teacher came out of her room and, happening to notice him, asked his errand. He pushed the girl eagerly forward. "She wan go school" he answered, with many the book under the girls armand slate"-pointing to her hand. "Oh, see!" said the teacher, smiling You have brought her all prepared. Can she read" The father shook his head, smiled, and looked into the lady's eyes in deprecating way, repeating softly-"She wan go school" The teacher took the book, which was of phenomenal size for a school book, and looked at it. It was a postofiice directory for the year 1900.
