MORE ROOM FOR SCHOOLS
Committee Appointed at Special Meeting to
Investigate Need for School Build.
ing or Improved Facilities

Definite action was taken at the spec.
ial town meeting last Saturday after.
noon, looking to thorough investiga-
tion OF Morristown's school needs, when
committee consisting of Judge George
M. Powers, c. H. Slocun, c. H. A. Stat
ford and George H. Terrll were appoint
! ed tc act with the School Direct ors
in formulating and preparing plans for a
new school building in the village of
Morrsville, or to suggest such measures
as would provide for improved facilities.
By the adoption of resolution, en-
bodying the above, the committee was
also authorized to procure and furnish
plans for such building or other facilities
as they may deem expedient, the COM
mittee to make report to the town at
subsequent meeting.
The first article in the warning, to
ratify the action of the Directors in rent
ing outside rooms for present needs, was
voted by acclamation, as was also the
resolution referred to in the above
Previous to the vote upon the appoint
ment of a committee, Chairman T. G.
Cheney called upon Principal r. G. Rey-
nolds and superintendent of Schools c.
D. Howe, who placed before the small
number of voters present, facts tending
to show the inadequacy of the present
school buildings. Mr.. Reynolds confined
his talk more particularly to the un-
healthful conditions, on account of poor
ventilation. lighting system and crowded
condition OF Peoples Academy building.
MIR. Howe confined his remarks to the
crowded condition of the Grades and the
probable increase in attendance in the
future. He stated that the tendency of
the outside schools was toward an in
creased number who would take the
courses offered by Peoples Academy.
1t is evident from better understand
ing of present conditions that more
school room and better facilities are inn
peratlve and the best means-consider-
ing the welfare of present and future gen.
erations-of providing the same is a mat
ter which will bear intelligent study and
the unselhsh interest of every voter in
town between now and the time for final |
action on the report of the com mmittee.
Various suggestions are made as so.

ing the building of new Academy build |

Americas "BuSv Berthas.

During the Spanish war America
was rather proud of her gunnery. But
it proved nothing to what the navy
has since accomplished in range and
accuracy.
In the same way, even the excellent
showing made by the new siege guns
which have just been given their trial
at Fort DUPONT will, of course, be
outdistanced ultimately. At present,
however, it is very satisfactory. These
four-ton guns are not quite Busy Ber-
thas," but they are a big advance
over present army ordnance in this
country.
America will probably never need
such guns as the Germans built to
batter the great forts of the allies.
The army authorities are putting en-
phasis on something that will be more
important in any battle America may
misunderstanding. Without that
even the latest siege guns are USE
less.-Philadelphia Ledger.

On the ends of the trot lines he

ALL FOR TUBERCULOSIS WORK
none OF the Proceeds of Sale Of Red
Cross Christmas Seals Is for
War Relief.

None of the proceeds from the sale
or Red Cross Christmas seals which
are being sold widely throughout the
United States for the benefit of the
antltuberculosis movement will be
used for war relief purposes, accord
Ing to statement issued by Earnest
+. Bicknell, national director of the
American Red Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: while the Red
cross is trying very hard to raise a
large war relief fund and is anxious to
secure contributions that will increase
this fund, we do not feel justified in
adopting any policy which will tend
to cripple the tuberculosis work in this
country, which is dependent for it's
support to so large an extent on the
sale Of Red Cross Christmas seals.
At the present time there are over
one thousand antituberculosis So
cieties distributed over nearly every
state in the Union. and even in Vera
Cruz. the canal zone and far off
Hawaii, which are dependent almost
entirely upon the receipts from the
Red Cross seal sale for their work dur
ing the year 1915. The people of the
United States must support this local
war against tuberculosis, which an
nually kills 100000 people, and at the
present time is leaving trail of mil
