JUST TO BE SURE

The majority of the board favored
a revision of the specifications. A
motion was passed giving the building
committee authority to request the
architects to change the plans, elm
mating the specification of certain
brans of material, and ask the con-
tractors to submit new bids at an adj
journed meeting to be held next Mon
day evening. The board decided to
furnish the hardware for the buildings,
ami the contractors will take this into
consideration in revising their bids.
1t now looks as though the improve

after the date of the opening of school.
There has been considerable delay in
the preliminaries. For example, if
the building committee had been at
tending strictly to business the changes
in the specifications. would have been
made before the plans were put into
the hands of the contractors.
Some of the committee work of the
present board has been such that
hours of time have been wasted by the
full board in working out details.

OrloIn Of Beet SUGAR.

When the fleets of Great Britain
blockaded all the ports OF Continental
Europe, during the Napoleonic wars,
Europe was cut of from its supply OF
sugar. 1t became necessary to find
substitute. Before the discovery OF
America sugar was unknown and
honey was the universal sweetening.
But the supply Of honey was not equal
to the demand now. In some coun.
tries. as in Bohemia. they made sugar
from the maple; in other countries
they crystaiized dextrose from the
Juice Of the grape. but these sources
were inadequate. The final outcome
OF the matter was the birth of the
beet sugar industry. It was 100 years
ago, in 1910. that the first loaf OF beet
sugar was made and presented to
Napoleon; and the centenary Of this
event has just been celebrated In
France.

FOX ALWAYS WAS CUNNING
Fable From tho TaImud Tells How
He Put the Bear In the
Well.

A fox and bear were out walking
together one day, when. as they passed
house. they smelled the dinner cook
Ing. The fox suggested to his compan-
Ion that they should creep into the
kitchen when no one was there and
steal some. Of the food. The bear
agreed; but while they were in the
kitchen the cook came in and the
bear was caught and punished. For
this he threatened to kill the fox; but
the cunning fox said:
"Pray do not let us quarrel. I will
take you to another place where we
shall certainly obtain plenty of food"
AT night the fox led the bear to a
deep well and pointing to the refiec-
tion of the moon in the water below,
said:
There is fine cheese. We will go
down and get it."
He then got into one of the buckets
at the end of the rope and told the
bear to get into the other. But as he
was too light to balance the bears
weight large stone was placed with
him in the pail.
AS soon as the bear had entered the
other bucket the fox threw out the
stone and the bucket with the bear
Inside descended and was left in the
well.-From the Talmud.
