people would vote for it unanimously.
There is a difference of opinion as to
that.
We know we need some accommO-
dations; it is question of payment. l
do not think our people would be will
ing to destroy the present school build
ing, and if there is some way to get
what we need without doing that
think our people would welcome any
suggestion-I know they would-that
you can make, if we can work out
that system.
Can we put an addition on the rear
of that building that will meet the
needs of the modern High school in
little city of $4,000 people? 1t may be
higge but I doubt it. 1t is not likely
to grow very rapidly. We maintain in
this town a commercial college, or,
rather it is maintained-it is private
in3titution-and many of our children
go away because we cannot under
present conditions give them a COM
mercial course. We want to meet that
demand if we can without too great
expense.
I confess, Mr. Chairman, as l said
before, l am delighted that you have
brought to us so thoroughly practical
a man, who has a good right to pro-
pound any theory; he has had expert
ence enough to tell us that some
theories do not work well in practice;
that there are many plans, and it is
for you to sift out the best. If you can
keep him with us a few days we will
give him the freedom of the city, and
1 assure you he will like us after he
knows us.
Mr.. Lancaster: Mr.. Chairman, I GER
tainly could not add anything to what
has been said here; l can only say that
1 have been very much gratified to
hear the remarks Of Mr.. Sturgis, and
IL only remains now for him to set
tic cur financial problem. Everything
else seems to have been settled.
When we come to pay for the school
building under our act which created
the Board Of Education, we must pay
for this building in annual payments
and BY taxation.
OF course. upon the start it will be
necessary for US to arrange to borrow
the entire sum of money, whatever it
may be, and the payments must be
annually, by taxation. If it should be
$4,000 and we can pay $4,000 annually,
why, in five years the school building
is paid for. If it should be more than
that, longer period. but not to ex-
coed 10 years. I think the sum that we
could raise annually could not exceed
$4,000.
Now you can see what it is that
faces US. AS our mayor has said. if we
could have building that could meet
our requirements for a sum which we
feel we could raise, somewhere from
100000 to $4,000, perhaps we will say
$4,000, | think the city would gladly
raise it. or make the attempt.
You can see what it is that con-
fronts us. 1t is really financial prob
lem.

WHAT is WRONG?
Many People in Augusta are Asking
That Question Of Late.

Within the last few weeks, more
people than usual have complained of
frequent sneezing fits, tickling in the
throat, stoppage in the nose, spasms
of coughing. raising of mucous, drop
pings in the throat and offensive
breath, and have asked themselves
what is the matter.
The trouble is that they are affected
with catarrh and unless immediate
steps are taken to remedy their condi-
ton. the disease will increase and
spread through the delicate mucous
membrane that lines the air passages
and a chronic and serious stage of the
disease will result.
At the first symptoms of catarrh,
Hyomei should be used There is no
other treatment like it or just as good
none that can take its place and cure
so surely. so quickly and at so little
cost 1t is scientific medicated air
treatment that does not drug and
derange the stomach. but is breathed
IN, directly destroying all disease
germs that may Turk in the nose,
throat and lungs and soothing and
healing the irritated mucous men,
brane.
Bowditch. Webster & Co, the local
agents for Hyomei. have so much
confidence in the merits of the remedy
that they offer it on trial to any
catarrhal sufferer with the agreement
to refund the purchase price of $1.00
for the complete outfit to anyone who
is not satisfied with the results. You
certainly can afford to test Hyomei
with an offer like this. Get it now
and be cured of catarrh.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Continued from Page Five.)

troll we do not feel absolutely sure
that we get the results that theoretl-
cally we ought to get
in regard to cost of a High school
building. Our modern High school
building includes so many things be-
sides the classroomS, that where our
elementary schools cost us in the
neignEorhood of size to $3.50, our High
schools cost $500 to $500 per pupil be-
cause our High schools contain besides
the classrooms-the classrooms are q
mere speck on the building-they have
a big gymnasium, big assembly nall,
rooms for commercial work, for type
writing, drawing. physics, chemistry,
biology, etc, and the lecture rooms
connected with them; and besides that
the gymnasium has lockers and appa-
ratus and we always provide lunch
rooms Such building as the Charles
town High. that has just been COM
pleted at cost very close to $500 per
pupil. There are $40 pupils. The cost
would be much greater for Il smaller
number of pupils if you provide all
those facilities.
Mr.. Bureigh: How much room
should you nave Tor the SuffoullullS
territory.
Mr.. Sturgis: We think we ought to
have at least 40 square feet per pu-
pil outside of the building. That would
be only to insure light and air; not
enough for play ground.
Mr. Burleigh: l am not entirely
Clear in my own mind whether you
would advise the board and the citi-
Zens to introduce a modern ventilatlnS
system in a new building, or eliminate
it altogether?
Mr. Sturgis: | should unquestionably
introduce it in a new building. for the
cost is comparatively small. 1t costs
somewhat moro to run it, but not very
much more if it is we'll handled.
should never hesitate in a new build
ing in putting in a modern system.
would think twice before I ripped an
old building to pieces to put in mod

The cost of installing the fan system
is larger than the cost of the gravity

The clash and clamor of politics
now fills the air; the people are es-
pecially in. the mood to study .he
Bibles most famous story of political
intrigue. The temporary triumph Of an
INSCRIPTIONS politician, by the use
of all the arts which we have seen
displayed in these present times, is
portrayed in the rebellion of Absa-
lom. This handsome prince was a
demagogue; possessed of all the arts
that win the unthinking populace,
yet utterly false at heart and utterly
selfish
The story reveals the clear distinc-
lion that often exists between the pol
itician and the patriot. Absalom used
the wiles of the former for his own
selfish ends; he was willing to sacri.
flee all things sacred-faith and hon
or and loyalty and love and coun-
try's well being-for the sake of his
personal ambition. Although many
hailed him as the deliverer from
moss-grown regime, he was really q
great peril to the kingdom and to the
popular welfare. 1t is a safe principle
to observe that no selfish man can be
first-class servant of the people.
The Problem of the Fop.
The problem of the young man in
the city, with frivolous tastes and
overweening vanity and petty sort
Of foppishness, is another present-day'
situation exemplified in this Old story.
Absalom is the dandy of the Bible
He was good looking, and he knew it.
His care for his hair and complexion
and his raiment was strictly up to
date. With him. as with a sad array
Of present day youths, the barber, the

and neckwear on the principal streets,
are going to amount to in themselves.
and what will they do for the commun-
lty, Assuredly, we have over-many Alb
saloms nowadays.
The absence of regard for the big
virtues is crying evil of our time
Obsessed by a passion for small dis
play. myrads of young men seem to
lack all sense OF filial duty and of
service to the state. Intelligent patriot
ism is as absent as the spirit of graft.
t'lde for their composition They have
a contempt for old fashioned virtues,
and seem TO care only for the .flashy,
frivolous aspect of life. Their highest
ambition is to be regarded as "men
of the world" They talk sport day and
night, play the races" when they
get chance, and in general worship
at the shrine of "a good time" They
measure mans success by his ability
to spend. Both the state and the
church have huge task before them
in making, real men out of these Alb
SALONS, for If a person has not truth
in his inward parts, only the Lord
Almighty can do anything with him

The vuItures and the Carbon.
The standard of open revolt was
raised at Hebron. The place seekers
thought they read the signs of the
times, and fiocked where they believ-
ed their advantage would lie. Large
considerations of patriotism seemed
shamelessly lacking. AS vultures
flock to carrion, so a multitude went
with Absalom.
When the news came to David,
whose fatherly love had blinded his
kingly vigilance, the old man went
forth in flight, broken hearted. 1t was
great humbling for the king. He
looked upon his own transgressions in
the past, and felt that even this was
but his just punishment. His spirit
seemed utterly broken. Even Shimei
might curse him from the hills with
out fear. No longer had he aught to
live for. Like his greater Son he went
out to the Mount of Olives and wept.
That was Absalom's hour of con-
quest; he broke his fathers spirit.
David was ready to surrender all-al-
though he would not imperial aught
for his own sake, insisting that tho
al bOI lOtlOW UuL ohSuiu
remain at Jerusalem.
AS we shall see next week, David
had loyal friends, however, and in this
time of testing, they proved them
selves. Moreover, he was still King
David, the representative OF Jehovah
and Of right, while Absalom was the
embodiment Of treason, selfishness,
and ingratitude.
