How Much More Room Do We Need
for School Purposes and What
Will Be the Probable Cost?

If we continue the departmental
plan in the High School, we Will
need room about as follows, in
order to take care of the High
School, Commercial department
and seventh and eighth grades,
with the same courses of study
which we have this year, one
large study room, where all pupils
in the grades mentioned above as
we'll as the High School could be
seated. This room could also be
supplied with stage and used for
an auditorium for entertainments;
one room for the Commercial de-
partment, about 80 it by so It,,
with a small room attached for
typewriting. Five recitation
rooms, laboratory and principals
office, and cloak rooms.
While, of course, it will require
an architect to make the proper
plans, it will be seen that build
ing 70 # by 70 fl with two stories
and full basement, will furnish
the rooms above mentioned in its
first and second floors, leaving the
basement for heating plant and
rooms for a gymnasium or domestic
science and manual training, II
these should be added to ouI
course in the future. The first
floor would supply general study
room 30 # by 70 # and after cult
ing off ten feet from one end for
stage would still leave seating ca
pacity for 100 pupils, besides
laboratory, one recitation room
cloak rooms and principals office
The upper floor would furnish
room for the commercial depart
ment and four recitation rooms
This would be sufficient to accom-
modate one more teacher in thes
departments than we now have
with ample seating capacity to
, two and one half times the numbe
of pupils now in these classes.

highest figure would require a
bond issue of $4,000 or $40, 700
less than the amount asked for last
year, and let us see how we'll we
can afford such an issue.
We will recall some figures from
last week statement.
Assessed valuation 81, 764, $50.
Bonding limit FIVE per cent. Limit
of tax levy for special school tax
is 10 mills FOR any one year, with
power to levy enough more to pay
for transportation of pupils up to
the amount of 4 mills. Our APP
portionment from state and county
school-fund is little over $50 per
capita for persons of school age
which number in orr case 40l.
From license sources about
$1,000. 1t will be seen that so far
as the bonding limit is concerned
we have quite margin to go on,
but how about keeping up the
interest and providing the up-keep
OF a new building. We levied
this last year 6 mills special tax
and as has been shown in previous
articles the amount of funds arts
ing from this as we'll as our other
sources of revenue, will be pretty
we'll consumed by the time we gel

banks now engaged in partial clear

any other reserve banks to begin clear

It was pointed out last night that the
members of the governors committee
are for the most part from the larger

Citations are strong and where clearing
privileges mean much to banks. II
has been asserted often in Congress
that the larger banks are able to DON'T
nate through clearing house associa-
tions. and officials are inclined to be-
lieve that many banks are loath to see
federal reserve banks take up this
work.
No controversy developed, however. in
the sessions here. The opinions OF
board members were reserved for the
future. In official circles no forecasts
were made as to how far the board
ultimately would be willing to go in
this direction. possibly in opposition
to the desire of many member banks

War Strength of Europe
in Aircraft Is Indicated

The present strength in air warcraft
of the European countries is indicated
in official estimates submitted by the
Navy Department to the House naval
committee and made public yesterday
1t shows that Austria Hungary this
month has 500 aeroplanes and diri
gibles; Belgium so aeroplanes, no diri-
eibles; Great Britain 900 aeroplanes

planes, 20 dirigibles.
In supplementary written statement
to the committee, Rear Admiral Victor
Blue, chief of the navigation bureau
said the navy was suffering more IRON
a shortage of officers than from snoft L
age of men.
''There are altogether 1865 men and
203 line officers short OF the number
necessary to man the vessels OF mill
tary value which could be used in time
of war" the statement adds. While
there is little doubt that this demand
would be met by the ex-service men
now in civil life. confusion and delay
would result unless an organization
was perfected prior to the outbreak OF
war.
Supply Is Limited.
shortage of officers in the total re-
auired is more serious than that OF
men. 1t will necessarily be several
years before the requirements can be
met, as the supply of officers is regu-
lated by the Naval Academy yearly
output From captain to admiral Off
GERS are being promoted at an age that
will permit of very little service in the
latter grade before retirement. A
board which has been considering these
conditions is now preparing its re-
port"
Of the expense of campaigns carried
on across the water at any great dis
tance, Admiral Blue said:
"I worked out the figures some time
ago and found that in order to keep
our fleet supplied with fuel and pro
visions while operating 5000 to 5000
miles from its base in the United
States about 200 merchant vessels
would be required. Naturally. we
would hope to get these vessels from
the merchant marine"
