indefinite 50 far as the public knows.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Turner favor the
plans of Charles G.. Fisher, while DR.
, Riley and Mr.. Sheldrake favor {. c.
Bucks plans The balance of power be-
tween them is Will Powell, who so far
has managed to balance along between
them without definitely letting ANYBODY
know which architect he favors. This is
unfair to the architects, as well as the
schools. The plans should be definitely
settled upon, and the work started Just
as soon as the schools close Superin

bring the matter to a head, but even he
has been unable 50 far to bring a clear
understanding. The members of the
school board should be men enough TO
settle the matter without outside inhu-
ences.
