mate, 1t would be better to put the ques-
ton up to the voters, and get permits
sion to condemn site, and erect new
high school building on it as unit, and
not in parcels. By so doing the Central
school would be released to the grades,
or to junior high school, in which
the seventh and eighth grades might
be assembled, thus relieving the ward
schools by % rooms. The only extra
cost would be the site for the new
b gh school. One mere wing would
cover the cost of the site.
In talking with the voters Of the
different wards, and the minority has
talked with many, this plan of saving
has met with universal approval. The
writer has met with none who would
destroy provided the building can be
made safe. Now the minority is
through and "passes the buck" back
to the voters. We have done what we
could to be wise in expenditure, and
are characterized as awiseacres.
The minority is as anxious for higher
education as the majority, although our
motives are constantly impugned. The
majority cry "unsafel unsafe!" and
wall over their children who attend, or
will attend the high school, forgetting
that some of the minority have children
in the school also. And at the same
time they are going to fix it up and use
it for an indefinite time. sans assembly,
and cease their wailing for about six
years, when again the mournful sound
will drown the harbor fog horn.
''Quoth the raven, nevermore." Mr..
Voter, ''What d 'ye think of that?"

ST. GEORGE POOR BOX ROBBED
Meanest Man Again Makes His APP
pearance and Gets a Few Dollars.

The meanest man has again made
his appearance in Kenosha and report
was made to the police this morning
that the aforesaid meanest man enter
ed st. George Church some time on
Tuesday and looted the poor box in
the entrance of the church. The
amount in the box at the time of the
robbery is unknown but it is thought
that the fellow got away with about
four dollars in small change. This is
the third time that the poor box in
the church, has been robbed. No one
saw the man enter or Leave the church
and it is thought that the crime was
committed by some vagrant passing
through Kenosha. The church is left
open nearly all the time and many
people visit it for prayer. On account
of this fact it was an easy matter to
get at the poor box.

Use DURKEE SCHOOL
Vacation School for Back
ward Children of City to
be Opened at Once.
NO ACTION ON RECREATION

A definite move was made by the
board of education to secure the in
struction of backward children of the
schools of the city on Tuesday night
when it was decided to use the Durkee
building as vacation school during
the coming three months and in this
school children who have failed in
various branches during the year just
closed will be given chance to make
up tie work and 60 on with their
classes with the opening of the new
year. The vacation school will not be
directly under the guidance Of the
board Of education as the funds Of
the board made it impossible to open
a vacation school Hugh Murphy,
principal of the Balm school, will be
in charge of it and as many teachers
as are necessary will be provided All
grades Of work will be covered in the
school. The fees for tuition will be
made as low as possible and they will
depend largely on the number of
children entered for work.
| The board failed to take final ac-
ton in regard to getting back Of the
recreation movement. Agent Stimson
of the National Recreation Association
i
appeared before the board and urged
| that some action be taken to secure
a supervisor of physical education for
| the schools with the idea that he will
have charge of further development of
the play ground and recreation move
ment. The report of the agent of the
national association was taken under
consideration by the board and later
the matter will be taken up with the
common council and it is probable that
some provision will be made for the
carrying on of the work before the
opening of the new term Of school,
w. ]. Frost, president of the indus
trial board of education, appeared be-
| fore the board and made a short talk
on the work that has been done in
this department. The board decided
to purchase from the industrial board
the manual training equipment now in
| the Frank building and the new head
quarters of the industrial school will
be in the basement of the Deming
school. All of these rooms will be
given over to the industrial work.
The contract for the coal to be used
in the schools during the coming year
was let to the Independent Coal Com
pany. The coal will be Harrisburg
lump coal and the contract price is
$3.4S per ton delivered in the bins of
the various school buildings.

WOrsham Doomed
For First Assistant
To Sec'y Houston
BY JAMES 3. NEVlN.

WASHINGTON, March "a vigor-
Gus and enthusiastic movement has
been started here to put State Ento-
mologist f. Lee Worsham, of Georgia,
in the office of assistant secretary of
agriculture.
For the first time on any question of
| patronage the Georgia delegation is
! aggressively together on common
ground Worsham will have the hearty
and cordial support of every member
thereof, and the movement to land him
already is we'll recognized and in work
ing order.
Worsham's work in the great Ma
tional Conservation congress. as Well
as his splendid services as state ento-
mologist of Georgia, have established
firmly his reputation among the agri-
cultural interests of the United States
He is the first vice president Of the
National Conservation association, and
is very close to many Of the agricul-
tural authorities of the nation. Walter
Page, who is said to have declined the
agricultural portfolio, is a warm friend
of Worsham. and entertains for him
profound respect both as a public Off
cial and scientist.
The appointment of Mr. Worsham
depends upon the favor of Secretary
Houston, of course, under President
Wilson'S statement concerning the dis
tributiOn of those offices, and the Geor-
gia mans friends and advocates will
go direct there with their Endorsements
and petitions.
In view of the fact that the Georgia
delegation is solidly behind Worsham
In the movement to make him assist

chance to win out. If he is named. it
Will be necessary for him to take up his
