When the obstacles incident ard pc
culiar to building in mountain town
where flat land is scarce and conse-
quently at a premium had been over
come and the building finished, the
next question was how to administer
1t for the best uses of the community
and school. Trevanion G. Cook, ply
steal director who learned the rudi-
ments Of his profession in the Y. M. c.
AS of New York City, and was then
director of athletics in the largest high
school Of Spokane, Wash. was induc-
ed to take the position. His wife, also
athletically inclined and a marvellous
swimmer, was included in the bargain
as a regular member of the staff of in
struction.
One of the first things done in Sep
TENDER of 1914. when these directors
of Wallace's community future took
up their duties, was to aid in the form
alton Of clubs for men and women. The
Shoshone Mems club voices the pur-
pose of the whole plan admirably in
its preamble. 1t reads:
"The object Of the association is the
promotion Of the moral and physical
welfare Of the men of Shoshone coun-
ty, through the use of the facilities
provided the community by the school
board of Independent School District
No g."
1t also provided for an auxiliary club
"the members Of which shall consist Of
female residents of Shoshone county
over the age Of is years" Through
permission Of the executive board any
member of the community, whether
over or under the age set, may be al
lowed the privileges of the building.

Well Planned.

AS the first purpose of community
development is relaxation, it was nat
ural that the school board should focus
its attention upon the gymnasium. In
constructing the $4,000 building spe-
cial care was used to see that this
should fill the need The gymnasium
proper is 4Ox70x26 feet, and SO lighted
that there are no shadows thrown by
those performing on the floor. 1t had
approximately $4,000 worth of appar-
atus installed before the first athlete
entered.
There is sliding panel along one
side, on the second floor of the build :
ing proper, by means of which cor
ridor of the school may be turned into
balcony overlooking the floor. Col
lapsible circus seats were provided
and such arrangements made that the
tiers can be erected and put into po-
sition for large audience in four
hours The rest of the floor on which
the gymnasium is placed Is given over
to a plunge 23x3S feet, to two bowling
alleys of the latest type, u steam BATH
and to lockers and showers TOR both

point:
According to a law approved by the
Legislature of the state of Idaho on
February 81, 1913, any independent
school district may purchase or other
wise acquire grounds or sites for play
grounds and gymnasiums to be Quilt
and conducted either In connection
with school buildings or as separate
buildings. By virtue of the same law
the school board may levy a special
tax, if necessary, to cover the expense.

Coincident with that there developed
d demand for "a new school building
The school board was quick to see
the possibilities of combining the two
needs, and proceeded at once with
steps to that end. The city has as a
result school building which is all
that the most modern spirit wants
and has at the same
time all the most desirable features OF
a city club. The school year of 1914

seen great development of the so.
