Anty Drudge on True Economy.

Mrs. N1,ced-'Tm economizing by doing my own wash
ing BY boiling the clothes long time can get the
dirt out without much hard rubbing"
Anty Drudge Economizng shucksl You're burning up
money in fuel and wearing out your clothes faster
when you boil them Use Fes-Naptha in cool or
save your clothes and you won't have any hard rub
bling. That's true economy"
How much are the clothes worth that
90 into your weekly washl
Many dollars at least.
Isn't it worth while to take good care
of those clothes, to make them wear as
long as possiblef
Then, why soften them by boiling and
hardrub them into holes on the washboardl
The Fels-Naptha way of washing will
save your clothes.
Fels-Naptha will cleanse them thor
oughly in cool or lukewarm water without
boiling or hard rubbing
The clothes will be sweeter, cleaner and
whittier than you can get them any other
way. And they'll wear twice as long.
Remember,-whether winter or sum-
mer, no boiling, no hot water, no hard
rubbing.
Time saved, fuel saved, work easier,
less bother.
Follow simple directions on the red
and green wrapper.

The Horace Mann, or No. 8 School

Until 1891 the children living on
the bluff east of Twenty-fffth street
attended the Lincoln, Eugene Field.
or Longfellow schoo.; or, as they
were then called, No. 4, No. 5, and
No. 7.
In September of that year an old
two-story store building, standing on
the corner of Thirty-eighth street and
Fourteenth avenue, was rented by the
board of education, the two rooms
furnished as school rooms, and the
children of the first four grades were
sent there to school. The building
was known as No. and Miss Egan
and Miss Bromley were in command.
II was used as a school house until
June, 1898, when on the next to the
last day of the school year it was
burned TO the ground, taking fire from
a burning building across the street.
During the next year, as no suit
able building could be found, there
vas no school on the bluff, but in
September, 1894, a two-room frame
school house was opened, located on
Fourteenth avenue between Thirty
sixth and Thirty seventh streets, the
site of the present building Miss
Clara \Levey was the principal and
Miss Holland her assistant. The school
soon outgrew these rooms and again
a small store in the neighborhood was
rented and occupied by the primary
grade. In 1897 Miss Levey resigned
and Miss Edith Noftsker became the
principa. of this two-building school
In the next three years the popu-
lation of the district increased to
such an extent that these little build
fngs were entirely outgTOwn, and in
1900 the present nine-room building
was begun, and it was completed and
opened in February of 1901. Only
four of the rooms were used at that
time, the teachers being Miss Motifs
ker, Miss ESiiand, Miss Harring-
ton and Miss MeQuaid. The follow
ing September two more rooms were
needed and in January, 1903, all the
grades were being accommodated here.
By 1911 the growth of the district
was such that the school had again
outgrown its quarters and a basement

school board, namely H. H. Hull, H. H.
Cleaveland, w NJ. Mcintyre, C. H. Sci
del and A. G. Anderson, deemed it
the better part of wisdom to erect an
annex on the south. The board met

and awarded the contract to Collins
Bros. The building was completed
and opened in the fall of 1911.
The pupils of the Seventh ward, in

1880 The first building erected was
a small structure, containing four
rooms of which two were completed
and used for some time. The district
was growing rapidly and it was nee
essary to secure larger accommoda-

March IA, 1891, and instructed the
secretary to notify E. S. Hammatt

Mary Entrikin, principal of the Eu-
gene Field school, and Miss Mary Car
ter, principal of the Horace Mann
school, with a host of others. In fact
honorable mention could and should
be made of many teachers whose long
years of service means only added
years of good work-the kind of work,
preparation for which can be gained
only as the result of years Of exper-
fence. AS some one has said: There
is not coin small. enough ever stamp
ed by the hand of man to pay the
salary of a poor teacher. But there
is not gold enough in the mines OF
the world to measure the value Of a
teacher who lifts the souls OF chill
dren to the dignity of life and living"
Much can also be said in COM
mendation of the unselfish and in
telligent work of the board of educa.

those who understand and appreciate
their work.
Special notice Shouts - s;ven to the
excellent work of II. b. Hayden, SUI
perintendent of our schools for the
past II years. In every way he has
worked to make these schools a credit
to the city. lahoring with the teachers
TO develop an intelligent scholarship
and in every way lay the foundations
of a noble man and womanhood.
Teachers have been encouraged by
him in all their efforts to lay broad
and deep in the lives OF the pupils
the basis of fine character. For wen
he knows that what we make a child
love and desire is more important
than what we make him learn from
books"

west 145 feet of the BLOCK fronting
on Seventh avenue was purchased
from the estate for $4,000, and the
other property which was given by
William Brooks to the school dis
trict in June 1880, on condition that
1t should never be used for other than
school purposes, was covered by a
quit claim deed from the heirs.
The building, as now completed, is
one of the most beautiful structures
included in the city's school system.
Its most imposing feature is the large
roomy tower built on the northwest
corner of the building.
The Longfellow school is located a
little west of the center of the block
and with the exception of one small
lot at the southeast corner, the whole
half block of land is included in the
school grounds.
The grounds surrounding the build.
ing form one of the prettiest spots
in the east end and are considered
one of the finest school lots in the
three cities. Large flower beds are
kept attractive throughout the sum
mer and the grass plots are well car.
ed for. In the rear of the building is
