thS task is completed.
The structure is al adaptation Of
the country villa" architecture seen
in northern Italy where the mobiles did
not build palaces. but handsome houses
on their country estates, in which to
spend the warm months OF spring and
early summer. In this case. however,
there is no slavish adherence to style
and. in fact, in the interior there are
many deviations therefrom. The house
is treated with stucco and is TO have
old-fashioned blinds. a feature which
Italians used for centuries and one OF
the best adapted to giving to any house

almost all the level ground excepting
TO the east and north OF the residence.

the school to take up a position in
the Shortridge Hill high school of In
dianapolis. This school is one of the
largest in this country, having an en-
rollment of over 5000 students.
A new feature in the local high
school is the school board. This was
much thought of but never realized
feature until this year, when it was
organized under John w. Casio.
The high school has another enter
tainment course this year. 1t was ar
ranged through Principal A. ]. Bur
ton, one of the numbers, Miss Eleanor
Miller and her reading of Porter's
"Pollyanna," being heard in the high
school auditorium Oct. 90.
On Oct. % a team composed of 10
students from the high school took
over the task of reporting for day
for The Argus in competition with a
similar team picked from the Moline
high school who reported for the
Dispatch. The Moliners were return
ed the winners of the contest by two
out of three out of town judges. The
local press team was later given a
banquet by Miss Jennie B. Sturgeon in
the Manual Arts building.
Through Superintendent Fisher the
football elevens of the tri-cities were
brought together in "Goodfellowship
feed" which was also held in the Man
ual Arts building This banquet did
much to cement the friendly relations
of the three schools.
The foundry in the Manual Arts
building is completed. Work was be-
ing done toward its completion ever
since school opened in September, but
the cupalos and the clay floor have
just been finished. Glasses have been
formed and H. H. Hull of this city,

appointed by the board of education |
to take charge of these classes.

Daylight Court Added.
In the police department the princi-
pal improvement. and one which was
long needed. was the daylight court
room for the police magistrate. AS
far back as three years ago agitation
for a different arrangement at the 20
lice station was started. The police
court room was this year removed
from a small room under the main
stairs leading to the second floor OF
the city hall TO a room facing on Third
avenue. larger. with more light and a
better opportunity for ventilation. The
change POST $500.
The room the police court was re-
moved TO had heretofore been the
kitchen. where the meals for prisoners
lodged in the bail were prepared. A
new kitchen was necessitated. and this
was built in November, costing but a
few dollars.
The police department was also
equipped with an auxiliary patrol wag-
on. in the form OF small touring car.
The idea OF Commissioner Hart in rec
ommending the purchase TO the coun-
ell was to have car on hand so that
in case the patrol was but, and cali
came for police officers. they could be
rushed TO the scene OF need.
