that the board was ignoring the Lin

Sanitary Condition.

The sanitary condition of the pres
ent Garfield school was also discuss
ed and three physicians present de-
clared that the building was a con-
slant menace to the health of the
pupils and condemned it as crime
against sanitation, Mr.. Roberts also
declared that he believed that the
steep stairs in the building had been
the cause Of the death OF at least
twelve former pupils.
One OF the arguments presented in
favor Of the bond issue was given by
Superintendent Aldrich who showed
that the tax would be hardly felt by
the taxpayers of the city. In connec-
ton with this Mr. Aldrich said that
last year the board secured an appro-
priation of $4,000 for current ex-
pense This year they ask for $780,
900. Two-thirds OF their tax Of last
year, divided by ten, (the number OF
years the bonds will run), would be
the yearly amour. that the new build
ing would cost Keokuk taxpayers.
The suggestion was also made at
the meeting that thesmembers Of the
committee and the board make inquir-
les INTO the report that the city adj
ministration was unfavorable to the
new building.

The board appointed Miss Helen
Coombs as a regular teacher to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Miss Anna Springer during the holi-
days.
At the request OF Superintendent
Aldrich the board extended the term
of compulsory education to cover the
entire school year, instead of 100 days
as has been the case heretofore. Mr..
Aldrich said that he had investigated
the matter and that in his opinion the
children should not be allowed to drop
from the rolls as soon as the period
was out. This view Of the matter was
also taken by the board.
A threading machine was ordered
purchased for the use OF the manual
training class and they will make
much of the apparatus to be installed

Into Proposed Grade

tary Also Taken Up at
Yesterdays Meeting

Meetings were held yesterday by the
board of governors and house committee
of the Birmingham Newspaper club.
The governors passed upon number of
names which had been submitted by the
membership committee, while the house
committee had under consideration the
questions of equipping the club rooms and
roof garden cafe and employing a per-
manent club secretary.

those interested to submit suggestions for
equipping the rooms. These firms. will
also be asked to submit bids on the work.
Firms wishing them can secure plans
upon which to base their estimates. Bids
will be asked upon the work as whole,
as well as by units, and the club will re-
serve the right to accept or reject any

Thus if firm wishes to bid on equip
ping the cafe alone or the main club

ham concerns, where possible but bids
