SCHOOL BEGINS 25h
Particulars About Opening of
Paonia Public Schools
By Superintendent


upon September % as the date
for the opening OF the public
schools this year. The new high
school building will not be ready
for occupancy by that time, nor
for several weeks if not months.
Meanwhile others quarters will
be provided for the high school.
Work upon the new building is
being pushed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Some delay has ACQUIRED and
more will probably occur because
the material needed for special
uses in such a large building is
not often carried in stock. In
due course of time it will be COM
pleted and then our high school
will be suitable and commodious
quarters, with extra space which
should soon be utilized TO provide
manual training and domestic
science for our girls. The demand
for these branches is rapidly in
creasing and soon we mus, offer
them or fail to furnish the highest
and best training possible.
A new and modern steam heat
ing and a ventilating plant has
been installed in the grade build
ing. This will contribute to the
welfare and health of both ,each-
ers and pupils. enabling them to
do better work and retain better
health. Parents should inspect
the buildings and make regular
visits to the schools to see for
themselves what is being done for
the children.

teachers

BOY OPERATOR IS
HERO IN A STORM
Courage Of Youth at Wireless
Instrument on Liner Lex
ington Saves Crew and
Passengers.

Charleston. S. c., Aug. 3o.-To the
courage of Wireless Operator Sheesley,
a 16-yesr old lad. the liner Lexington's
12 passenger and crew of Al say they
owe their lives. Storm racked for "a
hours her nose driven deep in the
quicksands off Hunting island. with
seas dashing over her the Lexington
threatened to break up and fling her
human cargo to death in the secthing
waters.
But Sheesley. the wireless operator.
persistentiy licked out his call for help
and kept the terror stricken passengers
from abandoning all hope. Finally a
terrific wave swept the ship and
wrecked the wireless station on board.
Daring Deed Of Heroism.
For moment it seemed that hope
was dashed away. but Sheesley
climbed into the rigging and hastily
fixed up a new station In imm-
nent danger of his life from the high
wind which threatened TO tear him from
this seat and blinded by the spray,
Sheesley sent out his plea for aid. Sud
denly through the storm he was am
swered by the revenue cutter Yama-
craw which had heard his call and
came ON the way to save the lives of
the LeXington's crew and passengers.
The passengers and four of the Lex
ingtons crew We're brought here today
by the Yamacraw, which left the cap
tain and rest of the crew on board.
Two firemen We're reported to have
been burned to death and a third ter
ribly scalded when the vessel grounded.
First Officer Chamberlain, fractured
his right shoulder.
Courage of the Captain.
The Lexington tossed about for hours
Monday morning. Captain Connolly
almost naked and half frozen stood
heloically at the wheel and the stokers
worked desperately while standing up
to their arInpits in water.
They tried in vain to increase the
small pressure of % pounds of steam to
a sufficient power to enable the I.exing-
ton to steer away from the treacherous
shore. toward which they finally We're
blown and grounded.
Conditions Are Better.
With street cars running, except on
the line to the navy yard, electric pow
er available for power purposes and
telephone service resumed, conditions
in Charleston are fast becoming nor
NAL Thousands of men are clearing
away the debris left by the hurricane
of Sunday night.
The damage done here will total
more than sl,00O,000. Fifteen persons
are known to have perished and it is
feared that reports from exposed ISL
ands will swell the death list and the
property loss. AT the navy yard the
damage is reported in excess of S20,-
OOO torpedo boats being badly damaged
and buildings injured.
