Jas. j. Burke had some exc
perience Friday night, Dec. 3, that
he doesn't care to have duplicat-
ed. very soon, at least. Jimmy
was out in the vicinity of Rocky
Butte on his motorcycle. Just
as darkness settled over the land,
and at time when there were no
visible signs of habitation, his
machine ''laid down" on him.
The atmosphere was bitterly cold,
and besides. there was dance in
town that night. so Jimmy aban-
doned all thoughts of sleeping
under the wheel. and began look
ing for house. For three hours
he wandered about in the bitter
wind before he saw light, but
in the meantime he discovered a
coal mine. He was kept the bal
ance of the night and he and the
sick wheel were brought to town
in a wagon next day. Jimmy
knows now how Cook and Peary
feel.

OLD LANDMARK TO GO

been gradually replaced by up-to-date STRUCTURES
The last one-roomed structure stands at East ooIh
street and Avenue c, in the section known as
Rugby 1t was built back in 1905 and is conse-
quentIy 1O1 years old
For several years past it has been used for the
little children of the neighborhood who were TOO
small to walk or ride to the big modern puohc
schools Between thirty-f1ve and ffty-fve OF the
little ones have been crowded into the building
Just as in the little country schoolhouses. Public

1t is likely that the little building will be done away
with a plan is foot that may give it
new lease of life. The Department of Education
has another school about a half mile away from
the little school, and this is being enlarged by the
additions of portable houses 1t may still DO found
advisable however to keep the little school in
existence for the benefit OF the smallest children.
In this school district the schools present the
greatest contrast to be found anywhere in the city
Not far away from the old schoolhouse stands
Public School 149 in the Brownsville section. This
school has more than five thousand pupils and is
the largest in Brooklyn. AS in the case Of most
old structures, the little school has its ghosts but
they have not troubled the school authorities As

much as they please"
