/. What are the reasons which call
for new building?
Z. The unwisdom of making addi-
tions to the old building.
1t has been occasionally suggested
that We ought to make extensive addi-
tions to the old building. 1t is said that
We could make these additions for less
than half of what a new building would
cost us. The suggestion is that we eth
er freely purchase or appropriate by
municipal authority the piece of land
east of the High school extending along
School street to the intersection OF
Pleasant street. But there are most Sc
rious objections to this plan.
a. The present building and there
fore the additions to it is not nearly
wide enough for the requirements. The
present enrolment demands rooms
which are much wider and somewhat
longer. This criticism applies to the
only two large rooms in the building
b. When we consider all the other
smaller rooms not one of them can be
made suitably available for even our
present demands and would be utterly
impossible for use in case of additional
growth.
C. Nor could expensive structural
changes in this old part be possibly
brought about without adding SUBJ
stantially to the width of the lot as
well as the length. And such extensive
changes and additions would prove far
more costly than contemplated. even if
1t were possible to secure additional
width as we'll as length to the present
lot.
d. Then after all such expensive out
lay, we would still have on our hands
an old plant built for totally differ
ent numerica purpose and under en-
tirely different educational ideals.
e. More serious still is the fact that
any amount of additions to the present
building could not provide for those
growing centralized responsibilities
which our educational system must
assume Provisions must be made in
the near future for a single central
equipment to which the various grades
of our city can at times be brought for
common instruction. There are the
greatest reasons why such specific out
fit and instruction should center around
the High school.
f. These are other intellectual and
social needs which will be emphasized
in future article, the preparation for
Which could not possibly be met by any
additions to this old building.

Monday night the thermometer at the

the morning The car that left Depot

Babcock's siding, L;tchfield, for upon its
arrival the Gardiner-bound car was stall

They remained until A. NJ. Tuesday
when the Lewiston-bound car left the
irons. Both remained at the siding until

Gardiner car reached Traftons siding it
was overtaken by the car that left Lew

ahead and reached Gardiner at o'clock
after having been on the way for seven

Shall Gardiner, Me-, Have a
New High School Building ?

g. Moreover such an addition would
be highly extravagant and totally IN
ADEQUATE for the present and growing
demands which lie before us. There Is
a congested condition in several of the
other schools of our city. This can no
longer be met by converting Railways
or cloak rooms into recitation rooms.
Either substantial additions must be
appropriated for school purposes.
h. Our present High school building
whit reasonable changes could easily
provide for 100 pupils from other
grades. where it can no longer provide
for 200 or more pupils Such a use of
the building for other grades would
nominally take care Of the pressure IN
the different grades for many years to
come
s. It has also been suggested that
we relieve the congestion by eliminat-
ing all tuition pupils and narrowing
up the gates of entrance to all Of our
own pupils. In answer to this it must
be said that every educator who has
investigated school problems sees moth
ing but advantages and great advant-
ages to be derived from tuition pupils.
a. To a certain extent their pres
ence is direct financial help on all
school expenses, for a certain number
of rooms and certain number of
teachers must be employed for cur own
student body.
b. But their presence also makes
possible wider variety Of studies and
substantial addition to our teaching
force, both objects of critical value to
our whole educational equipment.
C. There is also large value to our
student body and our whole civic life
in the presence of every new pupil
brought into our school life. In the past
analysis we learn very largely in all
the nobler qualities of our unfolding
life from human contact and inspira-
ton. This is the one unanSwerabe ar
gument for the public school over the
private school. for the university of the
college, and for the continued educa-
tive influences which are surrounding
US all in the great school of life.
d. Therefore any contemplated limit
alton or exclusion of our tuition body
would be a backward step, entirely out
of keeping with all the educational
movements around us in this and other
states. 1t could offer no advantage
it could bring nothing but lasting
shame and serious loss to our schools
| and to our city.

important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.

Thousands upon thousands of wo-
men have kidney or bladder trouble
and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder dis
ease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, bearing down feel
ings, headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and may be respondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
DIR. Kilmers Swamp Root, by restor-
ing health to the kidneys. proved to be
just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liv-
er and Bladder Remedy will do for them.

The one great symptom of neuralgia
is pain; the one great cause is lack OF
nutrition for the nerves, in plain lam
guage-starved nerves.
There are two things to do for any
form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the
affected part to soothe the pain, and
feed the nerves by taking tonic con-
tanning the elements needed by them.
Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot
water bags, ETC., lulls the inflamed
nerves into temporary quiet. 1t does
not cure. Not until the nutrition of
the nerves is restored will the in
flammation subside.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish to
the blood the needed elements and the
blood conveys them to the nerves. The
only way of getting food or medicine
to the nerves is through the blood.
Remember that.
Neuralgia is a general term. 1t
means Inflammation of a nerve 1t
is given different names according to
the nerve affected. Sciatica is neu-
ralgia of the. sciatic nerve. Applica-
ton of heat will soothe the pain in all
forms of neuralgia and Dr. Williams
Pink Pills will correct the condition
that caused 1t.
Your own druggist sells DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills and the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. will

Treatment of Nervous Disorders" for

REFUSE ADDITIONAL
RECEIVERS FOR SIEGEL

New York, Jan. 13.-Judge Hough in
the federal district court refused to-
day to appoint additional receivers for
Henry Siegel and Frank Z. Vogel as
co-partners and individuals, in bank
ing business. The bank is already in
the hands of receiver, along with
other Siegel concerns. but certain de-
positors thought that receivers for
the individuals should be named. The
court held that the intent of the move
was to bring about the examination OF
the bankrupt and that this could be
accomplished by the proceedings all
ready under way. The appointment Of
more receivers, he contended, could
only do harm.
