The value of screens in the

here. Just as a business man
needs health first of all to be a
successful business man, so does
farmer need health in order to
have ambition, energy and
strong faculties of mind and
body to be a successful farmer.
And what we ourselves need, are
we not even more anxious for
the members Of our homes to
enjoy? Every farm house in
Jackson county ought to DO
screened and other sanitary pre-

man can afford them because
they are money-savers in the

earn more and promote the
health and prosperity of a peo-
pie.

BOARD PLANS ADDITIONS
TO 5 PUBLIC SCHOOLS

For the purpose Of building add
tional classrooms to eight of the pub
lie schools and also of adding III
certain cases a gymnasium and audi
torinm, the Board of Education last
night resolved, on recommendation
of its building committee, to ask the
city for an appropriation of $976,O0O.
This request will go before the
Board of School Estimate, who, after
passing on it, will make its recon-
mendation TO the Common Council TO
authorize the necessary bond issue.
OF the total amount asked for, S26,Voo
is for building purposes and $loo'oov
for the acquiring of the necessary
property.
The latter amount also includes
SIS, 900 for the acquisition of ground
and building occupied by the Coo S
Place School, commandment
private institution, which offered lis
property to the board some time ago.
President Taylor called attention TO
the fact that the figures on the cost
of buildings are very conservative, as
the building committee had set down
in some instances as low as $4,000 per
classroom instead of $4,000 and also
had figured below the accepted cost
of $4,000 for an auditorium and $lo,-
900 for a gymnasium.

FIRE TOWERS IN
SCHOOLS OPPOSED
East Orange counoilmen Con.
slider Street Escapes Suf-
ficient Guard Against Peril.

Opposed TO equipping all public
school buildings in the city with fire
towers. the councilmen who are
members of the East Orange Board
of School Estimate practically told
the Board of Education representa-
tives that they will not favor q grant
of $50. 600 to make the improvements,
The estimate board made an inspec-
ton of the buildings yesterday. The
board will not discuss the approprla-
ton, desiring to consider questions
involved at a later date.
The councilmen could not see the
necessity of placing the towers in the
structures, expressing the belief that
steel fre-escapes on the exterior
would be sufficient to eliminate the
danger to pupils should fire occur.
Need of escapes on the Franklin, CO.
lumbia and Nassau schools was en-
phasized by the Board of Education,
and the councilmen assured them
that sufficient money will be appro-
priated to make these buildings safe,
The Board of Educa ton has asked
a bond issue of 900 for the fire
towers, but it is almost a certainty
that they will not receive half that
amount.
Mayor Gregory believes the steel
escapes will serve to lessen the
danger to pupils in satisfactory
manner. The mayor said he would
be in favor of the towers If there
were other structures near the schools
as in case of fire the flames from
adjoining structures could reach the
outside of the schools. He pointed
out, however, that this condition does
not exist at any of the schools and,
therefore, the pupils could be
marched down fire escapes without
imperiling their lives.
There was an amusing incident
when the officials discovered in one
of the city schools, which they de-
clined to designate, evidences that
the janitors have not been enthusi-
astic window washers.
when did you go over these vim
dows?' asked one of the party.
Last Christmas was the answer,
as the janitor colored slightly. In a
few minutes, however, his memory
refreshed by consultation with an
other man in the building, he hur-
ried after the party with the COM
forting explanation that it was not
at Christmastide that the glass got
treatment but during the Easter va
cation. The men smiled and jotted
down a memorandum.

KEARNY HIGH SCHOOL
HAS AN ORCHESTRA

On october 25, 1912. Mr.. Pearsall.

announced his intention of organ
izing q high school orchestra. The
same afternoon these officers were
elected: President, Miss Liss; Sec
rotary and treasurer, Mr.. A. Grant;
librarian. Mr.. r. skrivanek.
The purpose of the orchestra is to
advance love of music. There are in
the organization, at the present time.
six first violins, two seconds, three
horns, drum and bells.
The orchestra meets every Friday
afternoon under the direction of Mr..
Pearsall For the most part only
classical music is played. For the
first fifteen minutes noises beyond
description fill the auditorium. The
violns are begging, demanding.
shouting for respective notes, while
the pianist is humping away Then
quetness fills the place. The num-
Der is given out and the work be-
gins. Strings break here and there.
The heat is suffocating. The signal
comes to play faster and players come
struggling in seconds, yea, minutes
behind time. Now we settle down
to work Beads of perspiration
stand on the directors brow, but en-
couragement beams from his face.
what time is it?" queries Mr..
Pearsall.
-Four o'clock and alls we'll, but I
make a motion that this meeting adj

of the second violins.

chorus.
"Who likes ice eream?" from the
smallest horn.
What a question. Say, Mr.. Pear

about treating us?"
"All right, it's 60 I'll treat you
all when we get through here
7 And so ends a days rehearsal, all
| tired out. but willing to come again.
! This orchestra performs in public
on holidays. when it plays the march
| for entrance and for exit at open
ing exercises, accompanies the chorus
| and renders a few selections itself.
Sometimes this is varied by duets and
solos, The performances are always
| greeted with gratifying applause,
even when some stray horn or string
| gets off the key and yet plays Sc
| reney on.
| The orchestra will render few Sc
| lections at the grammar school grad
| uation, and win accompany the
Kearny High School chorus and rem.
der selections at its graduation.
Mr. Pearsall deserves the thanks OF
the members of the orchestra and OF
| the school for producing such talent
| as is shown in the present instance.
