COUNCIL COMMITTEE RULES
AGAINST OPEN AIR SCHOOL
Recommends Permission For
Use of City Property Be With
drawn; Building Started

The open air school for tubercular
children, donated by Frank Il. Leland
and now almost completed. must be
torn down or moved to another loca.
tion II the common council ratifles the
action taken by the committee on
ways and means, Tuesday morning.
Needing the protects OF the residents
In the vicinity OF Brush-st. and Alex.
andrine-ave., where the school was
being erected on city property, the
committee unanimously voted 10 rec
ommend that the council rescind its
former action, authorizing the use OF
the ground for th,s purpose. II will
also recommend that the park COM
missioner be instructed TO place in
his estimates for 1912 a sum sufficient
TO carry the Brush boulevard through
this property.
What to do with the school is now
problem. No substitute site has
been proposed, and IL will probably
be up 10 Mr.. Leland and his asso-
ciates In the Society for the Study
aud Prevention of tuberculosis TO
cast about for another or abandon the
project. Until it was discovered
that the frame building in this To-
az the fire limits ordinance, the plans
for the school had moved along rap
idly and the hearty cooperation of
the health, board and the Board OF
Education had been promised. The
committees action upsets these plans
temporarily at least and may mean
serious delay in the establishment
of the school. Mrs. B. C.. Whitney
made an earnest plea before the COM
mittee last week on behalf of the
unfortunate children who will benefit
by this school and whose lives will
doubtless be prolonged. but the resi-
dents persisted in their objections on
the ground that the presence OF the
school endangered the lives of their
own children.
To have allowed the school to re-
main where IL is IL would have been
necessary TO take this particular spot
out OF the fire limits. Under all the
circumstances the committee felt that
the best way out of the situation was
10 rescind the former action and turn
the property into boulevard, pro-
vided the estimators allow the
money. The park commissioner has
put in an estimate for this purpose
nseveral previous occasions but it
has always been cut out.

Wonderful Physical Strength That Was
Used to Good Purpose.
Sir William MacGregor was the hero
of such an adventure as one expects
ordinarily to read about only In fiction
of certain hue.
The steamship Syria, with a lot Of
Indian coolies on board, struck on a
rock about twelve hours from Suva,
the capital of Fiji
DIR. MacGregor, then acting colonial
secretary, organized relief expedi-
ton, clambered over a broken mast
that was the only path to the emil
grants and again and again returned
with man or woman on his back
and sometimes a child, held by its
clothes between his teeth.
A man of vast physical strength,
MacGregor wanted 1t all for his final
feat Down below on the reef was a
woman who had fallen overheard, had
got at the spirits and was mad with
drink. The captain Of the ship and a
police officer who had gone after her
were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid dowE rope, caught the
knot of the woman's hair in his teeth
and with his hands seized the two men
and dragged them both into safety.
He went back to Suva in a borrowed
suit Of pajamas, having left all his
clothes and good deal Of his skin on
the coral reef.
Modest, like many heroes, Mac
Gregor left himself out of his own re-
port, and it was from the governor
that the queen first heard the whole
