construction of a school building
marks an epoch in the history of
the average school system, and
is so rare an occasion as to afford
no particular precedent for
guidance.
The common tendency is to
think of the probable cost before
calculating the actual needs. A
fixed sum of money looms up in
the school board mind before the
full meaning of a modern struc-
ture together with equipment
becomes clear. Consequently,
an appropriation usually pre-
cedes the consideration of plans.
In many instances it is neces-
sarv to proceed in that manner.
more especially where bonds
must be voted and where it is
necessary to ascertain what
funds may be available before
taking steps to secure a building.
But this course is never prac-
tical in securing the right build
ing or a proper equipment.
After the appropriation has been
secured. it is usually found that
both building and equipment
must be squeezed out of it. One
or the other. building or eduip-
ment, must suffer. The things
not thought of before come up,
the building is too large and the
appropriation too small, or vice
versa; the equipment will cost
more than was anticipated.
The consequence usually is
that when the building is ready
for occupancy some things have
been "cheapened" and others
omitted entirely in order to
within the sum appropria.
ted.
This" cheapening" process has
frequently proven to be a most
expensive one. For instance,

sumes far more fuel than is

The economic maintenance of

The right way to begin the
erection of a school building is

cost, and harmonic the two

ence was so far short of what
the people demanded and ex
pected that there is great indig
nation and disappointment
throughout the whole West
where, perhaps, greater interest
was taken in pure food legisla'
ton than in the other sections OF
the country. AS the West is the
stronghold of the party in power
it's leaders are greatly concerned
over the feeling that has been
produced by the way the House
chopped up and emasculated the
bill in the interest of the food
adulteratOrs. Notice has been
served on the Republican leaders
that the fight for an effective
food law will be renewed at the
next session of Congress if the
Senate fails to undo the work
done by the House.
There is little reason to doubt
that the greatest of the many
swindles that are perpetrated on
the American people is in the
food supplies put on the market
for public consumption. The
people fail not only to get what
they pay for by reason of short
weight cans and packages, but
the articles which they buy as
genuine are in many instances
counterfeits of the most fraudu.

ter. This fact was clearly dem
onstrated to the House by
Congressman Mann. of Illinois,
who exhibited for examination a
score or more bogus articles of
food that are now being sold on
the open market as genuine
products. In discussing the
earnest efforts the people are
making to prevent the contami-
nation of their food supply by
the most conscienceless gang of
swindlers the world has ever
known the Philadelphia Ledger
