SCHOOL TEACHERS
WANT LUKURIES
-SnoVden Ashford
Building Inspector Says He
Isn't Popular Because He
Rejects Plans.
Would Take Care of Build
ingS From the School
Board.

IN my opinion the Board CT Educa-
ton has its hands full in attending TO
educational matters without concerning
itself with questions relating to the
construction OF school buildings" said
Snowdeu Ashford, Building Inspector Of
the District, today, in referring to the
recent inspection tours IF Capt James
+ Oyster. president Of the board
Better results could be accomplished
BY leaving the subject Of sanitation TO
those whose training has made them
authorities on such questions. Under
the preset system Captain oyster may
have the right TO inspect the various
school buildings, but recommendations
FOR their Improvement should come
from the board, before whom 1 shall
appear in person when such matters
come uD FOR discussion.
IN my opinion the adoption of a
system giving the entire control Of tie
construction and erection of school
buildings to the building department OF
the District, leaving the board 10 de-
vote its whole time and attention to
education, would result IN an improve
ment III both branches.
4 am not popular With the Board Of
Education because 1 do not approve all
OF the many suggestions regarding the
construction Of buildings. In the prep
dratOn OF plans the school officials, I'M
consciously perhaps, devote more atten'
tiOn to provisions for their own COM
fort than to those for the pupils for
whose benefit the schools are primarily
constructed They want private rooms
and lavatorics and other additions.
which, though conducive to their COM
fort, are not absolutely necessary
IN the Central High School one or
the best rooms in the building has been
converted into a lOunging-roOm for the
teachers. This is fitted out with chairs
and cOuches. magazines, etc, and, while
doubtless a source of pleasure 70 its
users, cannot be termed necessary ad-
junct to the building. Involuntarily the
teachers and school officials Will include
such additions in the plans submitted by
them. When the amount Of the appro-
priations Is taken into consideration
with the seating capacity Of the schools,
their plans are often necessarily sub
jected 10 revision. p"

Picks Figure to Pieces
and Shows Its Many
Advantages.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-There Is now a
claimant IN the field for the distinction
Of being the most beautiful woman in
the world. She Is Mrs. Henry HUT
wife Of the artist. The claims OF Mrs
HUT are put forth by her husband. He
takes issue with Harrison Fisher, who
put forth the claim last week that Cath
crime Clements. his model. Is the most
beautiful woman IN the world. and the
perfect type OF American beauty.
The beautiful Mrs. Edna Garfield HUT
poses for many Of her husbands pie
lures.
It was Mason Forester who was re-
sponsible for the controversy IN regard
to the beauty Of American women He
challenged American artists to produce
an ideal type OF womanhood. The chal-
lenge was accepted by Mr.. Fisher. who
named his model.

Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. HUT are friends.
It was wniie visiting Mr.. Fisher yester-
day that Mr.. HUT claimed Mrs. HUT

meats still hold that my model Is the
most beautiful woman in the world"
AND 10 prove it the artist produced a
photograph OF his wife, saying:
Here is the most beautiful woman.
not because she Is my wife. but because
she Is truly perfect according TO the
classical conception of beauty, which is
above reprOach and the one standard
OF perfection which Outlasts every so
called type, that has its popularity only
while its originator lives. Beauty does
not live only In the brain OF the ideal
ist. 1t Is neither a fad nor a fashion,
q Is q fact, as the noble outlines Of the
Venus de Milo prove by their time
6efying loveliness.
The beauty Of Mrs. HUT was com
types. though widely different, were dis
oussed and picked TO pieces By the art
lists.
II do not agree with Mr.. Fisher on a
great many points" said Mr. HUT
"For instance, Mrs HUT is the slim
illus Of all my best work. Not one Of
my pictures but has something OF her
spirit and vivid beauty. but that does
not prevent my employing sometimes
as many as six different models on ono
drawing. The artists mistake IS that
IN establishing a type he often destroys
his originality.

Is New York City Bankrupt /?

The total bonded debt of the
United States is only 1925, 900, 900,
and that of New York City is al
ready more than half that of the
national government. At the
present rate of increase the
metropolis will have the larger
Indebtedness in years, says the
New Broadway Magazine.
The total debts of all the States
IN the Union amount to only
$234,314,1 100. less than half that
of the single city of New York.
The total State, county and city
Indebtedness of the entire United
States is less than three times that

of Canada owes only $271, 900, 900,
about equal to New York's in

all this stupendous debt, the aver
age citizen of Manhattan never

Not a Journalistic Blind TIGER.

With the Ledger he believes
that advertising a mans business
is helping him to sell his goods
and that every paper that sells
space to a whisky dealer becomes
an agent in selling their wares.
We had as soon take orders for
such goods to have them shipped
to the consumer as to publish to
the world the fact that whisky can
be bought at places shown in our
columns and for which we are be-
ing paid goodly sum. What's
the difference Again, Mr.. Bird
sail gives the note Of warning that
blind tigers will be shown no
mercy through his paper. A man
who persists in violating the law
which be has taken sacred obli-

Hon. W. F. Parsons Will Not be a
Candidate.

During a speech at the mass
meeting on Monday, Hon. W. f.
Parsons took occasion to announce
that, Notwithstanding all reports
and expectations to the contrary,
he would not be candidate for
State Senator or any other public
Office during the impending cam
paign. Few men in Lincoln coun-
| ty have ever received such strong
and so many complimentary sollc-
itations as have come to Mr.. Par
sons from all over this Senatorial
district to enter the race for Sena-
tor, and if be could have seen his
way to accept the high honor, his
election seemed practically assur-
ed. His decision in the matter is
a great disappointment to his hun
dreds of friends and admirers, but
the critical condition of his wife S
health and the demands made up
on his time as the manager of a
large and constantly growing mer-
camille business, held first claims
upon him and to these he felt he
must yield allegiance.
