study and a period of recreation.
Athletics will be encouraged. a band

be to make the place one OF correction
rather than one of punishment. II is
realized that refractory boys will have
to be dealt with more or less severe
ly occasionally. The punishment for
! such will be made TO suit the case.
Water Supply For the Building.
The water supply for the building
is provided by means of what is
known as the Kewanee Pneumatic
Water Supply system. This consists
OF steel tank, 6 feet in diameter
and "a feet long placed in a concrete
underground building near a well. An
electric pump forces the water into
the tank and congresses the air in
the tank until the pressure reaches
JOG pounds per square inch when the
pump stops automatically. The air
pressure in the tank forces the water
through the building giving a press
ure OF 40 pounds on the second floor.
As the water is drawn off in the build
ing, the pressure in the tank is slight
ly reduced and the pump starts up
automatically, thus preserving nearly
ali equal pressure of water at all
times without requiring any attention.
The sewage from the building is
discharged into concrete septic tank,
the object of which is 10 liquify the
sewage. After being held in the tank
for about "a hours the sewage passes
out in an odorless and liquid form to
a large gravel filter bed where the
action Of the sun and air destroys all
germs and leaves the sewage abso-
lutely pure, odorless, clear and free
