Schoolhouses by Parcel Post.

| Sending cardboard models of school
houses by parcel post is the latest dc
vice of the United States bureau Of
education for arousing interest in at
tractve school buildings at low cost fol
! made to fold fiat and are shipped by
mail to local authorities, normal schools
and other agencies, for use during a
limited period. A number have already
been sent to points in the West and
Southwest.
Models for one, two and four room
schools are provided The buildings are
planned especially for rural communi-
ties where low cost is the first essen
tial. They represent the very latest
ideas in school architecture; they are
usually attractive to look at: they are
up to the minute in hygienic arrange
ments; yet they are within the means
of the smallest communities.
The buildings were designed by DR..
+. b. Dresslar. specialist in school hy-
giene of the Bureau of educa ton, and
then worked over by two well known
firms of school architects. Cooper &
Bailey. Boston, and w. b. Ittner. Of
st. Louis. The models show all the
details. within and without. and they
are constructed to scale. Full directions
accompany them.
1t is believed that these models will
be of great assistance to school authori-
ties in small communities who cannot
afford to engage school architect, yet
are ambitious to have their sehoolhouse
up-to-date in every particular. With
one of these models to work from. DR.

able to build schoolhouse for his dis

Risking Death for a Perfect Picture.

In the March American Magazine ap-

ment, an article about Ellsworth and
Emory Kolb, two brothers who have
made it their life work to tell the truth
about the Grand Canon by means of the
camera. To avoid the least exaggera
ton of the mighty dimensions of the
Grand Canon, they lower themselves
over the precipices in order to take pic
lures. How they came to discover their
job is romantic story, part of which
follows:
In Pittsburgh, where they lived as

usual preliminaries to our industrial sys-

him, and he resigned his place to enter

Grand Canon.
"Thither he went then, with three |
dollars in his pocket, walking most of |
