NEEDS ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL
Present Conditions Are Admitted to
Be Very Unsatisfactory.
GRAFT FAv0RS THE sCHEaE
with the New Addition to the High
School Complete All the Stu
dents Cannot Attend the
Entire Day.

Plans for the establishment Of add
tional high schools in various parts OF
the city are being considered by members
OF the Board OF Education. The advisa-
bility Of constructing 4 manual training
I building is also under consideration, but
neither plan will result in immediate
action, as school funds are too low to
warrant further expenditures unless abso-
lutely necessary.
When the addition to the high school
is complete 2ooo students can be accom-
modated at all-day work. There are now
$50 pupils in the high school Double
shifts, teachers working but half a day
and pupils doing their preparation at
home, have relieved the situation. but
there is some dissatisfaction with the ar
rangement-
Parents are constantly calling up"
said Superintendent E. U. Graft. and
asking US il We can't manage to have
their children prepare at least some of
their lessons at the school. This is i'm
possible under existing conditions. The
work is suffering-of that there is no
houbt. iTtQutuI IMAM
they would be II students could prepare
their lessons at school"
Believes In Central school.
Superintendent Graft. however. is not
an advocate Of several small high schools.
but believes one or two centrally located
institutions are more servicesble. To
prove this he points TO the success at
tanned in the larger cities. where the high
schools are attended by from 1850 to $500
.ahlldren.
Omaha High school students in many
instances must go long distance before
reaching school. The street railway COM
pany. however, has made special rates
for them and IT Is believed that there is
little objection to the present system on
account Of distance.
James Richardson. member OF the Board
OF Education, believes another high
school would solve the problem, but as
chairman of the finance committee can
see no way to securing the necessary
funds. We've got to face the question
some time" said Mr.. Richardson, but
We couldn't handle 1t now unless by
special levy" The school levy last year
was ls mills and is Is mills this year.

more gracefully than might have been

over, that the result meant anything
but good to the party, for as between

paratively good record of Mr.. Nc

congratulating the party.
Both factions favored Speaker
Clark and he got an instructed del

can picture Clark as the strongest

BEREA VISITORS DURING YEAR

The students and towns folk Of
Berea have always been fortunate
because Of the number Of truly great
men who have visited the College
and spoken or lectured. The year
l9l1-12 has been no exception.
A long list of prominent men have
made their appearance upon the Col
lege platform at one time or an
other, beginning with DR.. Richard e..
Moulton of the University Of Chicago.
enc OF the acknowledged Bible schol-
ars of the day. DIR. Moulton was with
US for the week following Commence
ment last year and delivered six
interesting and instructive lectures
which gave a new idea OF the Bible
as literature.
In the fall we listened to Sena-
tor VIM. o. Bradley who dealt with
the political issues OF the fall cam
paign. and shortly afterward Prof.
Jas. M. Coleman delivered four mas
terly addresses on ethics and the
state.
The Thanksgiving sermon was
preached by Rev. Chas. s. knight
OF Baraboo. Wis. who stayed with
uS long enough to preach six evangel-
istic sermons which did untold good
at that time and were the means

OF starting out a number of our
young folks to lead new life. Mr..
knight returned again in February
and preached fourteen sermons with
power and force and about 300 more
students we're led to seek higher
life. Many of the students and towns
folk will never forget these sermons
Of Mr.. Knight.
In the fall and again in the spring
we had the pleasure of listening
to Mr.. Geo. w. Cable of Northamp-
ton, Mass, one of the most famo,
of all southern writers, himself q
confederate soldier and a man OF
,world-wide reputation, appreciated
rot only in our own Southland and
his own country, but across the wat
ers. Mr.. Cable on both of these
occasions entertained large audiences
and each time addressed the Unit
ed Chapel the morning following his
readings. Each of the morning Cha
pei talks was very effective and in
structive, striking a keynote appli-
cable to our own conditions.
In January Judge Ben B. Lindsey
of Denver told, in an interestine
and effective manner, the story
Of his struggle for a Juvenile Court
In Denver. The large audience ap-
plauded time and again. 1t will be
many a day before those who had
the privilege Of hearing Judge Lind
sey will forget either his story or
the claims of the children whom he
represents.
Miss Anna Barrows Of Columbia
University spent some days at Be-
rea giving six lectures on Home
Science. Miss Burrows is one Of the
foremost teachers of Home Science
in the country, and Berea was for
tunate indeed to have had the privi-
lege Of hearing her.

lasting impression.
The Lyceum Lecture course Of the
year brought here some Of the
best lecturers and entertainers that
Perea has ever been privileged to
hear on the lyceum platform. Prob.
ably the most notable lecture Of
ali was the one on "Sour Grapes
by DR.. Edward Amherst OFT Of Chi
cago. Berea students and towns folk
would gladly welcome him here
again at any time.
