UNA IDEA LAUDABLE
Despues de terminada la reunion ce-
lebrada en- la Bolsa el sabado, de 10 que
informamos en- otro sitio, nuestro Illus
trado companero don Vicente Balbas
eXpuso la idea de que Sc nombrase una
comision para recaudar fondos entire
las personals mas acomodadas con ell fin
Gle construir dos edificios. en- sitios ade-
cuados. para, caso de que desgraciada-
mente ocurriesen cas0s de peste entire
personals acomodadas, estas sean lleva-
das a esos edifcioS Ell uno Sc pondra
los que est6n en- observation las fa-
milias de estos que Sc crea oportuno ais
lar, Y en- ell otro, a los verdaderamente
atacados Sc dijo que seria indecoroso
que las personals pudientes ricas, fue-
a ocupar en- los IIospitales sitioS que ha-
cen muchisima falta para los meneste-
rosos
FL sei1or de La Haba manifesto que
esos edifcios vendrian a ayudar gran
demente al Departamento de Sanidad
pues aparte de dejarse libres los Hospi-
tales, EN- aquellos, cuando fuese posi-
bic, sc asilar1an algunos pobres Nues-
ira idea, que aprimera vista parece que
la inspira un malsano egoismo, no pue-
de ser mas agreg6
FL senior Balbas hizo uso de la pala-
bra nuevamente para decir que en- los
Hospitales en proyecto Sc pondrian me-
dicos especiales, sin que quiera decir
que aquellos no esten bajo la convenien-
te inspection del Departamento de Sa-
nidad. Propuso el senor Balbas que in
mediatamente Sc nombrase un Comite
Executive para llevar a la practica
cuanto antes la idea, indicando el DR..
Lippit para Presidente Honorario.
Al notifcarsele el nombramiento. el
DR.. Lippit dijo que agradecia mucho
el honor que concedidole, que habia que
que reconocer que tan eXpuesto al con
tagio estaba el rico como el pobre, que
estimaba altamente buena la idea que
81 le prestaba su mas decidido concurso.

This statement was made by Frc'
fessor Scott Nearing. OF the University
OF Pennsylvania in an address on
Financing Wage Farmers Family
delivered at the weekly meeting Oh
the Baptist Ministers association. "A
family OF i've cannot live decently on
less than $50 a year, bait many OF our
industrial workers average much less
than that" he continued.
There are 100000 street car EN-
ployes IN this country. The men
have very little chance TO advance
themselves, as there are only about
1000 positions in the entire street car
system OF the country 10 which they
can advance.
Zone out OF every 800 succeeds In

Then Mr.. Charles Lathrop Pack

"Oh," laughs Pack. That just a

Don't you really guess what con-

Regular MGeliDgOf The Board
Monday Evening

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Mt. Vernon board OF education was
held at the office of Superintendent
]. S. Alan Monday evening with all
members present and with President
G. N. Lorey in the chair.
The members or the high school
debating team were present at the
meeting in response to an invita-.
tion extended to them by the board.
The members OF the teams were CIV
en- assurance OF the support of the
board in every way possible and were
told If they made good this year by
defeating the teams from Newark
and GAINESVILLE, their names will be in
scribed in the archives OF the build
ing. If this is not done something
will be planned by the board to com.
memorate the achievements of the
debaters.
All bills for the month OF January
we're read by Clerk Coyner and were
ordered paid by unanimous vote.
The matter Of Installing machinery
in the manual training department in
the Central building was discussed.
In schools In other cities machines
are used by students. who cannot be-
come nearly as competent In their
work without their aid. This matter
has been in consideration by the
board for some time. but nothing
definite can yet be done owing to a.
nancial conditions. II Ia hoped that
In the near future II will be possible
to 1T the manual training department
in an up-to.date manner.
The fact that several insurance
policies will expire in a very short
time was made known to the board
and the matterJ WAS referred to the
committee OH buildings and repairs
The matter will be attended to at once
by this committee
The triangular debate between Mt
Vernon, Newark and Hanesville will
be delayed until probably the middle
OF March owing TO unforeseen diiiicul
ties that have been met with. How
ever, the event will occur as has beer
the case in the past and the fact wal
made known 10 the board that thu
local teams are making every effor
TO prepare themselves for anothe
victory.
