DO NOT WANT NEW HIGH
SCHOOL

III NOl WAN NEW hlG n
SCHOOL
About 20 or 80 taxpayers gathered
at high school assembly hall on Tues
day evening pursuant to call OF tho
president of the board of education.
Previous to calling the meeting TO
order Mr.. McGillis invited those
present to visit the manual training
and domestic science departments,
which were duly inspected In both
departments Mr.. jacobson and Miss
Smith were giving instructions to
night classes While neither depart
ment has been in operation only about
year they are still doing creditable
work, and are credit TO the school
On re-assembling in the hall Mr..
McGillis stated the object of the meet
ing. He said that at present there
were lis pupils in the high school, 937
ia the grades and 80 at the James
school that every room is overcrowd
ed and that il was absolutely necessary
to DO something to relieve the conges-
ton. He advocated the erection of a
$3.50. 900 high school and in support of
this claimed that the district was as
well able TO put up such building as
was Crystal Falls, Negaunee. Iron
Mountain or Msnominse. He then
called for an expression from the
people present.
Mr. | w. Byers, after wait Of "A
few minutes. took the floor and said
he might as we'll express himself now
as later He said his remarks would
not be taken very kindly and that
he would not doubt be subjected to
severe criticism hut as a taxpayer he
was going. 10 express his honest
opinion. He was opposed TO high
school, tor he didn't believe it was
worth the money put into it, The
present meeting had been well adver-
tised, yet he failed to see that any of
our high school graduates took interest
enough In educational matters 70
attend the meeting But one of those
who had graduated from the Iron
River school was in business in Iron
River and yet we were asked 10 put
$50 600 in a new high school Last
year there were twelve graduates while
next year there would only be nine.
Was the result worth the price He
believed the present building could he
enlarged and IL necessary ward or
additional grade buildings could be
erected in various parts of the city,
and then later on central high school
could be erected.
The sentiment expressed by Mr..
Byers was voiced by practically all
present. Those present taking part

THE SONG SERVICE

Chapel services at this institution are not
compulsory, and it speaks well for the in
mates, and also shows that they appreciate
any effort that is made for their benefit,
when three hundred turn out for chapel.
1t is the same here as elsewhere; there is
some work that has to be done on Sunday,
and if it were not for this fact, it is safe to
say that practically the entire population
would have been present.
The singing by the choir was far better
than they have ever done before, and
showed beyond the shawdoiw of doubt
that they were doing all in their power to
make the services a success. The colored
quartette was good, rendering their folk lore
selections. The solos were exceptionally
fine, while the instrumental selection rem
dered by the pianist was enjoyed by every
one present.
There was few changes from the pro-
gram as published last week, and for the
benefit of those who were not able to be
present, same is given below:

TWENTY-sEvEN YEARS YOUN6

Twenty-seven years ago the prisoners of
the Minnesota State Prison banded them
selves together and produced the where
withal to purchase printing Office. Pap
ers and magazines were not as numerous as
at the present day, and the boys wanted
reading. Then they wanted to know
what their comrades in exile were doing,
and hit upon this means of learning.
Since the first Mirror was put before the
readers it has not missed a publication day.
The way has at times been rough. A
"Gordon Jobber' was proved to not be a
success as a newspaper press, and the
prison officials contracted to have the paper
printed in one of the Saltwater newspaper
offices.
When the New Prison was planned,
Warden Wolfer (who by the way has al
ways taken more than passing interest in
the Mirror had room built for the hous-
ing of the Mirror equipment. Not to
have modern printing Office in the New
Prison was far from his thoughts, and on
the 18th day of May, 1913, the Mirror
force and the best of the old equipment
was moved to the New Prison. The
equipment found here for our convenience
in getting out better paper was far be-
yond our fondest expectations.
The edtorship of the Mirror has been
changed many times, and, as to be ex-
pected, each had his own ideas as to how
to manage the paper. In most instances
the change has been for the better.
So with this issue the present editor is
starting the little Family Journal off on
its twenty-seventh lap, and his only wish is
that the Mirror will prove to be just as
good (if not little better) under his leader
ship as under his predecessors.

BY A Fan.
Ed Walsh is not travelling with the
White Sox on the present trip. This is
the first time the Big Rel has been left at
home.
The Cubs have purchased pitcher Earl
Moore, formerly of the Phillies. Moore
had been sold to St. Louis but refused to
report to the Cardinals.
The race for batting supremacy in the
American League is very close, with jack
son in the lead by few points over Cobb.
Any day may>see change of leaders, but
it is probable that the contest will not be
definitely decided until the last few weeks
of the season.
The Giants bumped into surprise at
Chicago, after some easy victories over
the Cardinals. The Cubs grabbed the
first two contests in great fashion. How
ever the Giants have not tumbled to any
appreciable extent and are not likely to.
Marquard is pitching great ball this sea-
son-the same brand that he used when
making his record last year.
Mathewson is the same old reliable hur-
Ter and rarely lOOseS q game. Hardly
seems possible that this is the same Matty
who won the Worlds series from the
Athletics in 1905, and another chance to
turn the same trick looming up ahead of
him. Tesreau is about the only Giant
hurler who has had little, if any; success
this year. The big fellow has been un-
able to return to his form of last season.
Whether, OF not they win the pennant the
Giants are to make tour of the globe i'm
mediately after the season closes. They
