school building and telling how the
building can be put in safe condi-
ton.
That the high school cannot be put
into shape as to make it a fit place In
which TO instruct or congregate seems
to be the opinion Of broad minded and
progressive citizens 1t is pointed out
that the suggestions made by Archi-
tect Henry Brauns for the strengthen
ing 9th structure are excellent but,
they mean considerable outlay ~
money and when all IS done the build
ing will not be new but decidedly old.
There are many citizens who have
the interests Of the city at heart who
think that the building should be re-
placed with al new one. They think
that it has outgrown it's usefulness.
They say that it did very well when
it was constructed many years ago, for
those days. II is said that when it
was built it was thought it would
stad for all time. The builders, how
ever, did not take into consideration
the fact that times change and with
them methods Of instruction. That
new methods demand new facilities. In
the days whe reading, writing and
arithmetic were the sole things taught,
little was required. The present age
makes larger demands upon the grad
uate from a high school. He must
have the rudiments of a college edu-
cation. laboratories are the common
thing in the schools of today. There
are none in the high school 1t is ask
ed, pertinently, why they are not
there? Are not the residents of Mar
tinsbug entitled to as good facilities
for educating the young as the people
of Berkeley Springs.
There are those who think the citi-
zens should give this matter more
than cursory thought and should be
willing to bond themselves for an
amount sufficient to ensure the erec-
ton of high school with shall be
modern and shall furnish the pupils
with those facilities which shall make
it unnecessary for those who seek to
enter college to go to some prepare
tory school after leaving the high
school, to get the proper drill. Parents
demand that the children shall have
better education than they have them
selves. The demands of the age are
greater and thinking fathers recognize
that the son must have a preparation
which shall enable him to cope with
the times in which he liyes. The ma.
jority of parents cannot afford to 81
the child to college. 1t is necessary
therefore that he should acquire that
training which shall enable him to
take his place among intelligent men
in the high school.
The progressive members of the
board of education believe that new
building should be erected. 1t is said
that the thinking portion of the city is
behind them

CAUSES DISCUSSION.
Foreigners Cannot See Why They
Should Pay Bigger Licenses.


The new statute under which il
censes to sell liquor are granted in
this state has given rise to captious
dicussion on the part of some who
have sought licenses. 1t seems that
there is a distinction made between
foreigners and residents insofar as the
amount to be paid is concerned. The
foreigner is compelled to pay a larger
fee than the resident. Outsiders paid
1925 last year and this year the H.
cense has cost them s727. The for
eigner cannot see why he should be
compelled to pay more than the resi-
dent for the privilege of selling the
same article.

Mr.. Brauns' Report.
The report of Mr. Brauns in full
runs as follows:
Commissioners of the Independent
School District of Martinsburg, ".
Va:
In accordance win your request
have this day made a thorough exam
nation of your High school building
on South Queen street and would re-
port as follows:
The general appearance of the
building, both inside and outside,
gives one the impression that it had
been affected by slight earthquake
shock or possibly by the explosion Oh
dynamite in the immediate neighbOr-
hood and by continued vibrations of
the underlying rock caused by blast
ing. in quarries at more or less dis
tant points, very distince tremors hav-
ing been felt by me. Immediately aftel
hearing the noise of some such eXpo-
sions.
These, however, are not in my Opin
ion the only causes of the condition
of the building, one of which is the
fact that the lumber used in the orig
inal construction was of very poor
quality and evidently must have been
entirely unseasoned when used, and
having since dried out, it has shrunk
and twisted to an extreme degree,
doubtless causing a great deal OF the
cracking of the plastering at corners
and where wooden partitions join the
brickwork, also causing the doors to
become damned. In addition. the
sizes of the timbers were not proper
ly proportional to the span between
supports thus causing the floors to
sag and vibrate under weight and mo-
ton of the scholars, and producing the
numerous cracks in the plastering of
the ceilings, especially the ceilings Of
the first story, some of which are in
a dangerous condition and liable to
fall to pieces.
Poor Stone in Foundation.
The foundation walls are of a poor
quality of stone masonry, laid in lime
mortar, but bedded on solid rock and
show but very slight indications of
vertical settlement below the ground
level Above ground, the joints in
these walls and in the stone water
table course have parted slightly at
various points and considerably to the
right and left of the front entrance.
This is an indication that the walls
We're built against slipping sides and
not as thick at the base as above the
ground level.
Regarding the brickwork, generally,
would state that it is in fair condi-
ton, the cracks being mostly small
/ and possibly partly caused by the use
of wooden lintels over the openings,
the shrinkage OF which would, with
oSt any other cause. be accountable
for many, but not all, of the defects
noticed.

II Upset All Precedents.

I Topeka, Dec. The First National
bank OF Chicago filed In the supreme
court petition and brief asking for
u rehearing In the suit against Mary
E, Weaver In which the supreme
court held shat a homestead could
never be taken for a debt, even II the
members Of the family had scattered
and only the mother and widow re-
manned
This was one OF the most radical
decisions of the Kansas supreme
court and has created much COM
ment amopg attorneys throughout
the country. 1t upset all the former
decisions OF the Kansas supreme
court, and the attorneys for the
bank contend that 1t upset all form
er decisions OF the courts OF every
state with homestead provisions like
those OF Kansas.
The Kansas court held that a
homestead once was always a home
stead and was exempt from seizure
for a debt, whether the debt was
contracted before or after the death
OF the wife or husband. In the
Weaver case, Mr.. Weaver died and
the bank tried to collect a judgment
for a debt contracted before HE
death, The Homestead was attached
but the court held as long as Mrs.
Weaver lived In the home property
was exempt
The application for rehearing is
based on the ground that the Kan
sss court overturned all presidents
in the case.
