BUILDING PLANS ADOPTED
Structure Designed on Site Of Old
High Street School.
PART OF THE PUBLIC SYSTEM
Success of Vocational instruction
Depends Upon Congress-Appro-
priation for Teachers Needed.

A new manual training school, for the
use Of seventh and eighth grade pupils
and costing $4,000. is soon to be erected
on the site Of the old High Street School.
at the corner Of 3sd street and Wisconsin
avenue northwest.
The old building is now cleaned out, in
readiness for demolition It was used
for manual training classes until about
two years ago. when 1t was converted
into storehouse for furniture and other
articles used by. the schools OF that vi
cinity.
1t Is expected by the school officials
that a vocational training school may
be established in the new building. This
Will depend, 1t Is said, on whether or
not Congress will appropriate sufficient
money for the salaries for teachers IN
vocational work 1t is proposed that
one-half the work in the vocational
school shall consist OF training in some
trade. while the other half of the time
is devoted to academic training.
Aim Of Vocational Course.
1t Is believed by the school authori-
ties that the establishment Of such a
school would keep in school pupils who
leave at the end of the seventh or
eighth grade to- go to work.
The vocational schols will aim to teach
the pupils some trade, such as paper
hanging, interior decorating, house paint
Ing, carpentry, plumbing and Timing,
which will enable each graduate to inn
mediately enter upon some paying occu-
patton instead OF having to attend a
higher school or college.
II has been suggested also, by members
of the board of education that girls might
pursue such occupations with more sue
cess than they find in many Of the occu-
pations at which they are now employed.
A large system of such schools is
the hope (which many of the local edu-
Gators are expressing. They believe
that such course would aid this city
in becoming in industrial effect CEN
in paths Of study. If Congress appro-
PIRATES the money this year 1t will be
only the first step toward the estab-
lishment of such system.
Trades School Suggested.
r. c. Bruce, assistant director of
colored schools, has already recon-
mended to the board Of education a
similar plan for the establishment of
q trades school in the Cardoza build
ing. Many members of the board have
already expressed their approval Of the
plan and believe 1t will solve the prob |
lem Of giving coiored boys and girls
just leaving school an opportunity to
enter congenial fields of service.
According to the plan as outlined by
Mr.. Bruce and A. Newman, there will be
no need at present Of expanding any
money for extra salaries. The recon-
mendation will probably be acted on at
the meeting Of the board Of education
tomorrow afternoon.
In the school which is to be built at
Wisconsin avenue and Thirty-third street |
manual training and domestic science will |
be taught until Congress appropriates
money for teachers OF vocational classes. |

test was: Can a biplane be successfully

WARE Gets PAROLE
Judge Towner Reversed by the
Supreme Court.
THE STATE LAW IS UPHELD
Liberties Granted the Seymour Bank.
er by Original Parole From Pen
itentiary Returned and He
Will Be Freed at Once.

Des Moines, Feb. 21.-The supreme
court has handed down an opinion re-
storing Leroy Ware. the Seymour
banker, to the liberties given him un-
der the terms of his original parole
from the state penitentiary.
In so ruling, the high court reversed
Judge Towner of Corning, who had
ordered Ware recommitted to the
state penitentiary upon the theory
that the parole board had no right to
act in his case.
In making this decision the high
court passed upon the validity of the
state law creating the parole board.
The opinion states that the law is alb
solutely valid and constitutional.
Judge Townen had held that the pa
role boards authority extended only
over those prisoners who were SEN
fenced after the board was created
and became active-July 4, 1907-but
the high court held this to be untrue.
1t is stated in the opinion that the
power Of the board extends over per-
sons convicted under the old law as
well as those sent down under the
new indeterminate sentence law.
AS the result Of this finding of the
court, Ware will be released at once
from the penitentiary at Fort Madi-
son and made free to enjoy liberty un-
der the provisions of the parole grant
ed him.
Wares case is an unusual one and
one of vast interest to the people in
the southern part of the state. In 1907
he was indicted twenty-five times for
making false entries. for embezzle-
ment and for fraudulent banking.
In court for trial. he entered into
an agreement with the state whereby
he was to plead guilty to making false
entries, the state in return for this
plea to grant him exemption from
prosecution under the other indict.
ments during the term of his SEN
tence. This agreement was sanction
ed by the court.
He drew a sentence of five years,
but after service of one year and
two months was paroled by act of the
parole board.
County Attorney Sallman of Wayne
county had him rearrcsted at once
under one of the old indictments.
Ware fought this under the agree
ment entered into promising him ex-
emption. and was successful in secur-
ing freedom.
