In accordance with the custom
Professor E. George Payne, princi

Payne said:
"In accordance with your request

the grades of Washington school, to-
lgether with recommendations and
suggestions for improvements.
The High School Building.
"In my second annual report
called attention to the need of some
repairs upon the High school build
ling, and something was done but the
work of most Importance was left
lundone. The floors should by all
means be deadened, the walls repair

other inexpensive improvements be
made that would help the looks of
1.-THE building immeasurably. Our
Iseating, especially in the study hall
lis inadequate. We do not have as
many seats as we have pupils. This
defect causes endless confusion and
loss of books. / made a special re-
port last November upon our made
quate seating facilities. The board
took the matter up after the holidays
and ordered some seats which arrived
about the middle of April, but the
money invested in them is worse than
wasted, for they are entirely unfit
for the purpose for which they are
to be used, and can never be made
suitable. 1t will be unfortunate If
the board puts them into the study
hall. would suggest that they
consult a school man who will tell
them how to seat the hall with good
seats for the amount they have in
vested in the poor ones. ! wish to
disclaim all connection with and re-
sponsibility for the ordering of
these seats for I did not see them

the request was not granted. / can
not too emphatically urge now, with

quest be granted. Three years ago
we established a laboratory in the

board has been liberal in former

rived at the Hotel Bellevue here, accom-
panied by a distinguished looking man,
who signed his name in the register as
Ferdinand de Szuyni. The archduchess,
who wore costly furs, refused to sign the
register.
For three weeks the couple lived in a
most extravagant manner. They went to
masked balls at the kursaal and INDUCED
in every other form OF amusement.
During the fourth week a lawyer named
Stanz, Of Vienna, arrived at the hotel
and had stormy interview with the
couple. He endeavored to persuade the
woman to return home, but she refused
and the lawyer went back to Vienna.
Shortly afterward DR.. Joseph Fleisch.

and when he had been there ten days he
succeeded in persuading the archduches.
to return with him to Vienna.
