NEW FURNACES

In Gary steel circles IT is believed
that the action of the United States
Steel corporation in authorizing a forty
million dollar bond issue for Gary
works foreshadows the erection of eight
more blast furnaces and Complementary
mills in the near future.
Fifteen million dollars of this sum
will become available at once and the
balance of the forty-year bond noata-
ton. the sum of twenty-five million
dollars, viii be placed upon the mar
ket at later date.
All of the Gary works that was under
construction last fall is now completed
and excepting departments down for
repairs the entire works is operating
Despite the battery of eight blast fur
naces the enormous capacity of the
stacks is insufficient to meet the iron
requirements of Gary's forty-two open
hearth furnaces which furnish the
steel for the rail and all rolling mills.
Original plans contemplated sixteen
blast furnaces, eight-four open hearths
and ike number of auxiliary depart
ments. One-half of the great works
two complete steel plant units in itself
is entirely completed and 1000 men are
employed.

THE new Froebel School. now in
course of erection, is the most nearly
ideal educational plant ] have ever
seen. The school site contained eight
acres; to these were added four acres
purchased by the city as small park,
which has been placed under the con-
troll of the schools.
'On the school grounds there will be
a football field, surrounded by a track
having two baseball diamonds within
it. A large area is set apart for school
gardens--one side for boys and the
other for girls. There are to be basket
ball courts for the boys and for the
girls; tennis courts for the boys and
for the girls; an outdoor gymnasium

school time for play and physical
training. Beginning with the fifth
grade one-half of the play and physi-
cal training time is given to additional
work in constructive play or produc-
tive industrial activities. At the be-
ginning of the eleventh grade. all of
the play and physical training time
during regular school hours is appro-
priated by the other school activities.
The entire school curriculum is plan
ned to gradually but effectively trans
fer the play impulse of the child into
manhood he will take the same pleas
ure in his work that as child he took
in his play.
