"Little Red School House."
While people observe with amaze
ment the unparalleled agricultural,
financial and social development of
Ward county they should not fail to
note that the barren. untitled and I'M
peopled prairies of four or five years
ago are now dotted with buildings in
which our boys and girls are being
gent men and women and patriotic
citizens. These school houses. in
many instances, are small and of in
ferior material but the teacher and
her pupils are there. The size of
Ward county prohibits that unity and
harmony among the educational work. ,
ers that might be attained in small
er county but all are working toward
the one end. education. The great
strides in this direction during the
past two years show that the natural
inclination is for advancement. This
natural tendency of an ambitious and
hardy population needs only to be
properly guided and developed to in
sure a grand future for our public
school system. The number of school
organizations has increased, during
the past two years, from eighty-three
to one hundred twenty, number of
school houses, from one hundred sew
enty to three hundred; number of
teachers. from one hundred ninety
seven to three hundred eighty-nine;
and the number of school children,
between the ages of six and twenty
from six thousand to eight thousand
fifty-fOur. Four years ago the de-
sert of Ward" had one village in which
there was a graded school. Now there
are thirteen graded schools, eleven of
which have been organized within two
years. These. together with one of
the best high schools in the state,
place the educational possibilities of
Ward county in the first rank. The
greater the possibilities the grander
the achievements. Ward county is
destined to lead in educational de-
velOpment as we'll as in all other chan
nels of progression.

A New Use for Glass.

ILLUSTRATION Paris publishes the fol-
lowing: Like reinforced concrete, rein
forced glass is now more and more en-
ployed in buildings. Reinforced glass,
the principle Of which has been patented
by an American, is made by rolling two
sheets of glass between which is placed
a metallic grating. The product shows
remarkable cohesion and tcnacity; and,
in case Of breaking. the pieces Of glass,
instead of separating, remain adhcrent.
held by the metallic grating. That is
the principle advantage of reinforced
glass. BY interesting experiments, re-
Gently made, NM. Schlernitzauer and
Crockett have proved that Il plate of re-
inforced glass, slightly les sthan a quar-
ter OF an inch thick, and IA trihe over
four feet long by about foot and half
wide, could support n weight of about
1,O41 pounds. Under 1922 pounds it did
not break, but was only bent and
cracked. Reinforced glass has another
important property: small building, the
walls of which are made of reinforced
glass, resists a very lively fire lit on the
inside. whereas an ordinary window
breaks at the first touches of the flame.
Such properties clearly fit reinforced
glass for roofing, shop windows and
glass partitions; but its application to the
construction OF staircases IS particularly
successful, for glass staircases allow the
easy lighting Of the descents into base
ments. Their steps are not slippery, and,
in case Of fire, their superiority over
wooden staircases is incontestable Sci

NURSES IN FIRST MUTINY
GENERAL SHAKE-UP FOLLOWS
CHARGES AC INST :. HOSPITAL.
Philadelphia Incurables' Home Attend
ants Say Food Is insufficient and I'm
ht-patients' Fare Same.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2.--Tha
first mutiny of nurses in America is re-
ported from the Philadelphia House for
Incurables. This unusual event was pre-
ceded by the resignation of the resident
physician and followed by the death of
a patient without medical attention.
The fashionable women managers of
the institution have made strenuous eff
forts to prevent exposure, but the nurses
who assert that they suffered for the
want of food presented the facts in such
Il way as to reach the authorities charged
with the general oversight of all char
ties in the state. The entire staff of
nurses was discharged Immediately.
1t is frankly admitted that the 100 pa
tents in the home are without the serv
ice of "A resident physician and that John
Hazleton. who paid his little all for main
tenauce in the home, died without a
doctors aid.
Miss Anna Dyer, ono of the nurses who
Joined in the general mutiny, is authority
for the statement that the inmates of
the home fairly beg for something fit to
eat. Miss Dyer said:
The food served to nurses and patients
alike is insufficient In quantity and entirely
unfit rs to quality. The oatmeal is dirty,
the meat tainted and the vegetables have
been served in a manner so unpaatable as
to preclude eating. | have seen five thin
slices Of impossible bologna placed upon the
table for six robust young nurses. | have

ton is supported by the state, and an
