Let a Little Sunshine In.
By JEAN WATTS.

Open thy door to the sunshine;
Dwell in the brightness Divine;
Leave the gathering gloom,
OF the darkened room;
Make the followed daylight thine.
Open thine eyes to the sunshine;
The glories of earth combine,
In grand procession,
OF endless concession,
To thy daily needs, and mine.
Open thy soul to the sunshine;
May infinite love entwine,
For thy protection,
And my correction,

MORE SCHOOL WALL FALLS

WALLS ARE NOT PROTECTED
The Second Portion of the High School
Walls to Go Down Before a Strong
Wind capituIated Yesterday After

From Tuesdays Daily.1
The exposed gable on the west side
of the old high school building toppled
over before heavy wind at Sis yes
terday afternoon, taking with 1t as 1t
fell large part of the west wall. The
wall fell outward, some of the bricks
falling beyond the sidewalk. A short
time ago part of the east wall was TAX
en- out in the same way. an exposed
gable giving way before heavy wind.
At the time the east wall went down
thorities that the same thing would
have occurred in an entirely new build
ing If the walls stood unsupported.
The occurrence did not bear on the
strength of the walls one way or the
other, 1t was said, for no unprotected
wall could withstand the leverage that
the exposed gable afforded the wind.
Architect ]. c.. Stitt at the time the
east wall went out warned the board
that the same thing would happen on
the west side if steps were not taken
to have the upper part of the wall TAX
en- down. This would protect the low
err walls, the condition of which he
pronounced good.
When the west wall crashed down
yesterday afternoon it may not have
touched the arguments concerning the
conditions of the standing walls but
it changed the situation to the extent
that it lessened the value of the old
walls for rebuilding purposes. The
standing wall area was reduced and
