$50 600 Not Too Much for
School Building.

The problem of providing am
pie and satisfactory school ac-
commodations for the children OF
Lafayette is one of great serious
ness. and is worthy of our best
thought.
The fact of there being 600
children now in attendance, and
nearly 200 more that can not be
accommodated for want OF space,
presents a condition calling
loudly for relief. This only ap-
plies to the present and does not
take into account the much larger
demands of the future, that will
be forced upon US by a rapidly
increasing population.
Authorities on the subject of
education have long ago arrived
at the conclusion that it is of ad-
vantage from the standpoint of
economy in cost of management
and more rapid advancement of
the pupils in their school work,
to bring together in one building,
whenever possible, a large num-
Der of children-from 400 to 500
children being considered a ga
sOnable limit. 1t is understood,
of course, that the building to be
used for the purpose must be
specially adapted to the work, in
order that these advantages may
be reaped. There must be a
sufficient number of class rooms
to insure against Overcrowding,
and these class rooms must be
well lighted and ventilated. and
properly heated and comfortably
furnished. A large assembly
hall, a library, cloak and hat
rooms and other conveniences
form a necessary part of the
building. All of these things go
together to make a complete
whole by which school work may
be carried on in the most advan-
tageous and economical way for
the public and the children.
Lafayette needs at least one
building of this kind with twelve
or fourteen class rooms now. and
such a building needs to be con-
structed of durable material and
in a substantial manner. A
building of this character con-
tanning fourteen class rooms with
all necessary cOnvenienceS, APP
purtenances and furniture can
not be erected and furnished at
the present cost of building ma
terial for less than $4,000, with
all frills and architectural display
left out.
Such a graded school building
on the spot it is to be located
would meet the requirements of
all the children on the South side
of the railroad for the next ten
years probably, and would he
used also by all the more ad-
vanced pupils of the primary
school to be presently established
on the North side of the railroad.
Later on when a larger popula-
ton and wider corporation limits
will make it necessary to estab-
lish other primary schools in va

Threatened Coal Strike Will

nearly 10000 mine workers are en-
ployed In four or FIVE other States,
independent of these joint conferences
but having contracts with their en-
ployers through the state agreement
machinery, the mine workers are also
likely to be involved in the threatened
strike. In brief. the United Mine
Workers of America, having work
ing membership of over 100000. will in
all likelihood be able to take out on
a strike. IL such dire calamity Is to
be ,preclpitated. at the lowest estimate

ing out OF consideration the broad
principles affecting II which are In
volved in what Is known as the trade
union movement, II is possible TO place
the emphasis upon one particular eco
monte factor, Toward West Virginia
the past decade and more has been
pouring a great stream OF immigra-
ton, owing largely to the development
OF the industrial resources OF tina,
state, and this has flowed into the coal
mining fields. Being CHEAP labor
those making up this immigration
stream have been working, and con.
tinue TO work, for low wages. As the
price OF labor Is perhaps the most
dominant factor entering into the
price OF coal, this cheaper European
labor has enabled the West Virginia
coal operators to take their commodity
from the mines TO send Il to market al
lower price than the operators In the
central competitive territory are abb,

territory the United Mine Workers OF
