lars. Have we q single resident
property owner who is unwilling
to pay such m Insignificant
amount for = high school?
AS to the manner of providing
additional school accommoda-
tions there may be honest differ
encs OF opinion. Some, I under
stand, favor the erection of sep
arats outlying buildings. The
Board has no disposition to die
tate to the people, but has pro-
posed what seems to the mem
bers of the Board the best as
well 40 the most economical plan
for the following reasons:
lin order to lessen the dis
tance for the smaller children it
would be necessary to erect three
buildings mot two as is assum-
ed-for q large proportion of our
people now reside in territory
adjacent to the present building
and this building can not accom-
modate all grades and the high
school. Besides this building
would have to be remodelled at
considerable expense to fit it for
high school purposes. The erec-
ton Of three brick buildings
would greatly increase the first
cost and frame buildings are
dangerous.
It should also be remembered
that children have a surplus en-
srgy that must be given vent
and therefore the walk is bene-
fetal and not Objectionable.
2-The running expenses es
would be increased by the main
tainance of separate heating
plants and a janitor for each
building.
3-There would be unneces-
sary divisions Of grades and
therefore more teachers would
have to be employed.
4 ThsY outlying schools will
be deprived of apparatus and
library facilities unless a separ-
ate equipment for each school is
provided.
5-The outlying schools can
not be properly supervised by
the principal.
j This is perhaps the most seri-
Gus objection to The plan of sep
arate buildings. Effectual sup
ervision by q man OF force and
experience gives unity to the en-
tire system, stimulates the work
of pupils and teachers and SIM
plifies the problems 81 discipline.
In conclusion / would state
that the plan submitted by the
Board is in accord with the rec
concentrations of the stateI Ibfici-
ais as shown by the letter OF
State Superintendent Cary.
Yours very truly,

IA SIEGE OF
lNFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
Is Unnecessary If the Blood Is Kept
Pure as This Ohio Mans
Experience Shows.

InHammatory rheumatism, acute rheu-
matism and rheumatic fever are differ
ent names for the same thing.
Anyone who has suffered from In
flammatory rheumatism knows that the
usual treatment is highly unsatisfac-
tory. External applications Of hot cloths
and liniments and internal doses of sali-
cylates to relieve the pain are not enough,
for they do not drive the poison from the
blood and the sufferer Is liable TO re-
newed attacks whenever exposed to
draughts, cold OF dampness.
To cure rheumatism so that It will
stay cured the rheumatic poison in the
blood must be driven out and the blood
made rich and red. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism. DIR.
williams Pink Pills build up the blood
and cure rheumatism in the only logical
wav.
Mr. B. F. Umbenhower, farmer, of
Massillon, Ohio, suffered from intiam-
matory rheumatism and he describes his
case in o way that will interest every
victim of that disease.
"The pain was continuous, he says,
