CRowDING OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Hammond is beginning to experience
the crowding of its public schools just
as have the other rapidly growing
cities of the region. In a community
that is doubling its population every
five or ten years it is difficult to build
school buildings fast enough to ac-
comodate the increase.
Especially is this true when ex-
penditures are restricted by an in
elastic law which limits the bonded
Indebtedness of the school city to two
percent of the assessed valuation.
This law makes no distinction be-
tween an old sleepy town like Green
castle and live, rapidly growing city
like those in the Calumet region
which must anticipate the future in
every building that is constructed.
There is just one other reason why
relief is not afforded the citizens of
Hammond in the matter of the crowd
ing of the public schools. II is the
litigation which has tied the city nj
for the past two years.
The supreme court is soon to take
UP the matter of the motion of the
defense for a rehearing in the case
in which the school city was enjoined
from proceeding with the building OF
the manual training school.
If William J. Winery, The attor-
ney for Contractors Caldwell & Drake
cared to ask to have the case advanc
ed to hearing it could be settled
within few days.
And then with that out of the wa,
the present board would be in a pc
sition to again set in motion the pro
iect for the building of manual o
vocational training school in Ham
mond.
But the hearing of this case is be
ing unreasonably delayed and in tn
Central school every available bit 0
space must be pressed into service t
accommodate the pupils who are sen
there.
This winter will find conditions il
the Central school deplorable. TIL

HEALTH OF CHILD IN SCHOOL.

Do you eat breakfast every day?
Do you drink coffee or tea? Do you
have your bedroom window open or
shut at night? Do you own a tooth
brush?
These and other pertinent ques-
lions are to be answered by the chill
dren in the public schools of Mime
sofa. They form part of Health
Grading Outline" prepared by Dr.
Ernest B. Hoag, Special Director of
School Hygiene for the State, whereby
teachers and school nurses may learn
in the most direct manner possible
the physical condition of the children
entrusted to their care. Rational
conservation of the mental and physi-
cal health of our school children" is
the ultimate ideal of this and other
current health protects reported to the
United States Bureau of Education.
The appointment of special State
director for school hygiene and the
institution of a searching but non
technical health survey by teachers
and school nurses are important con
tributions to the school-hygfene
movement that is now, according tc

CAUSE FOR CONTAMINATION.

Newspapers have been accustomed
to poke fun at the Bostonese women.
They now deserve praise. They have
banded themselves together now and
will not bedeck themselves with
articles made from animals and birds
Their bill of rights is as follows:
I'VE eat no meat. wear no kid
gloves. feathers. wings or breasts
or skins of birds on our hats. and
we are ready to give up leather for
the soles Of shoes.
our members extend their love
TO the lower animals. so far as not
to eat them or XIII them for selfish
purposes. All sentieRt creatures
have a right to live and, except in
cases Of self-defence. to protection
in that life by human beings.
I've have found splendid substi-
tutes for furs, feathers. hat trim
mings and kid gloves. and we know
We are better off without eating
meat. We practice the convictions
of our minds and hearts"

BOTH SIDES SATISFIED.

We are much interested in the de-

a wife should refuse her husband his

ought to be.

does not make much difference.
The construction of the manual

high school students from the Cen
trail school building. 1t will make it
possible to use that building exclu-

The litigation that was started by
the citizens committee was a neces-
sary check on the activities of the
board at that time. The purpose was
accomplished. The courts have pre-
scribed and eircumscribed the activi-
ties of the board.
And now that that is done and
there remains just one more point tc
