PATRONS TO FIGHT
TO REOPEN SCHOOL
Residents of School District
No. 8 File Action Against
Township Trustee.

An attempt to compel the reopening
and establishment of district school
No. in Franklin township will be
made in the circuit court by the ten
patrons of the school, including Emil
NJ. Tsschaen and nine others. Man
damus action was instituted in this
court by the state on relation of the
patrons against Nathan S. Graves,
trustee of the township, who closed
the school bacause last year the num-
Der of pulls was less than Is the min
imum number allowed by law.
The trustee upon closing the school
served notice on the patrons that the
children in the district, numbering 19
for the fiscal year of 1911-12 would
be taken by hack toWhitewater school
during the term, but this displeased
the patrons both because of the dis.
tance which their children would have
to travel, and because they did not
wish to abandon the school, AS all
efforts to have the trustee rescind his
order were futile the relators insti.
tuted mandamus action.
The patrons allege that the building
is large enough to accommodate 25
or more pupils and that trustee
Graves has $1,670.sS in the tuition
fund which is sufficient to meet the
expenses of employing a teacher dur.
ing the ensuing term, and also $2,2O2..
80 in the special school fund, which is
deemed sufficient to meet the Incl
dental expenses.
The defendant will not fight the
case, it is understood, but will allow
the attorneys for the relators to pre-
sent evidence and authorities to the
court and allow Judge Fox to decide
the case upon these facts. The state
school authorities may become inter,
ested in the action and endeavor to
defeat it. The state school officials
were the ones who advised the trus.
tee to close the school for at least one
year, despite the fact there are more
than fifteen pupils to be enrolled.

Advertising Boosts Land Prices.

Advertising Boosts Land Prices.
Missouri lands have increased in
price in the last year on a statewide
acreage from three to four dollars an
acre. The prospect ia that this will
be doubled and even quadrupled in q
few years.
The increase is attributed directly
to advertising, in the report of Chief
Commissioner John H. Curran of the
Missouri state board of immigration.
It is on the figures compiled by the
board that the above statement Is is-
sued.
"The work of advertising the state
by the newspapers, the board, the real
estate and land men and other influ-
ences has resulted in an actual in
crease in value and price of Missouri
land from three to four dollars on an
average of every acre in the state,
with the mediate prospect of being
doubled and even Quadrupled in a few
years." the report reads.
The report is the authority for the
following estimates:
In northern Missouri the rise is
from five to ten dollars an acre on an
average, the result of the wide pub
licity given the comparison of the
lands with similar lands of surround
ing states. Missouri farm lands in the
north sold for from $45 to 500 an
acre, while similar lands in northern
Illinois and Iowa brought from 500 to

TENEmENTs in CHICAGO BAD
Secretary WELLER Of National Housing
Association Of New. York, De-
plores Conditions.

Chicago.-"Housing conditions In
Chicago are shocking, but the worst
thing about them is that nobody know
just what they are" said Lawrence
WELLER, secretary of the National
Housing association of New York,
who lectured to the Woman's City
club on Housing the other day.
You permit tenements to be built
In Chicago with courts three and a
half feet wide, when our New York
limit OF twelve and a half feet is a,
minimum" MI. WELLER said. "You
permit stairways that are fire traps,
hues which inevitably carry and
spread any fire that starts in any. part
OF q tenement. Just to illustrate how
the danger Of fire may be reduced let
me tell you that not q single life has
been. lost by fire in the 10000 new
law tenements which have been put
up In New York city during the last
eight years, although these buildings
house 1850. 900 people. The point is
that every n Of them is freproof in
the basement and first story and the
stairways are f1reproof from top to
bottom. They must be built of iron
with slate or other non-combustible
treads; they must be inclosed by r.
inch brick walls and the doors open
ing into fats from them must be fire.
proof with no transoms.
Here in Chicago 95 per cent of
your tenement stairways are of wood
with wooden floors in the halls and
mere t%wo-by-four studding lathed and
plastered for walls. You deserve great
credit in Chicago, however," MI. Veil
Ter admitted, for providing that
buildings over three stories in height
must be f1reproof, thus limiting your
tenements to three stories instead of
to the five and. six stories we have in
New York.
Your expenditure for your depart.
ment of public health is wholly made.
quate. Chicago simply doesn't realize
that a department which saves lives
by preventing danger is as important
as the fire and police departments
which only protect them when they
are in danger. You have a splendid
health department, but 1t cannot dc
ouch because it hasn't any money"
