MANUAL TRAINING
Department Has Been Added to Course at Local High School Un
 der Direction of Prof. An
derson

Some time ago The News men toned the fact that plans were be ing made to start d small manual training department for the boys, and a domestic science department for the girls. at the local high school
 The two departments were inaug- urated by Prof. John Anderson, one of the tteachers at the High School, and the pupils readily assented to the idea. The first obstacle to over come, and the greatest one, was the fact that the School District was without funds to defray the eX- pense Of such all undertaking. Lo- cal folks were appealed to for dona- tions, and just recently the boys, with Prof. Anderson, finished some concrete flooring in the basement This week two work benches were fitted up for the manual training de partment, and the First National Bank made the boys and Prof An derson q present of nice set of saws; the Farmers X Merchants Bank giyino a brace and set of bits
 Work in the Domestic Science de partment has been slow, but will be started with renewed energy after the holidays.
 Neither of the courses are com plete i'll any manner but are in the infant stage. so to speak, and while they have aroused great interest among the student body, the work cannot be carried on as fullV as it might, halnpered as the District is by lack of funds.
 Much credit she4ld be given Prof Anderson for his untiring worn ana time expended in his efforts to se- cure start on these two depart ments It is understood that the S 1. A., will take some action to- ward assisting these two new de partments at their next regular meeting, ,the second Monday in Jan. uary

A SANITARY TOWN
low Example of Kansas Town.

The following clipping was read before the City Council at the last regular meeting, and strongly com. mented on by SC oral members ot that body as an example for Spring dale to follow. The News publishes the chipping. that it may be read by Sprfgdale people. There is one thing and only one, needed to make Spring dale the best town i'll this section and that is bettelment of the sani tary conditions. Unless something is done along this line i'll the near fu ture, SpTdngdaIe will suffer a seourge such as visited Lyndon. A few cases Of typhoid fever were report ed this fall, on account, according tc physicians of a poor water supply This is but an inkhne Of what will happen, on much larger scale, un. less local conditions are improved. Here's he clipping
 Lyndon, Kan, Dec 4 The Kansas Stat Board Of Health calls this the most sanitary town in the United States. This opin- ion is shared by the State Sani= tary Engineer and an official c the United States Public Health Service.
 Lyndon. county seat of 0saee County has sos inhabitants.
 That Lyndon's grade in sanita- tion should be marked loo per cent in the Board of Health's re port $ considered remarkable by those who knew the town few years ago.
 About three and ohe-half years ago the town. then having TO sewage system and depending on wells and cisterns for drinking water. had a seourse Of typhoid When hat WAS checked. Mayor H6sSey and the City Council set. about improving conditions \ bond lssue Of =S65. .aao vas voted to l. Id a water and sewage sys- tem
 Today the town has pure filter ed water in abundance and the pipes of the water ard sewage systems are connected with ey- cry house except one, and that house is vacant
 The sewage is treated seientt- fieally, and when it empties into the river fl is harmless.
 Sanitary drinking fountains for men and animals are provided.
 The town has an electric plant, an $Soo0 Carnegie library. the streets are paved. and it is well supplied xtth concrete sidewalks.

For sey- eral months those that have been and are i'll the saloon business have been arranging their affairs to go in- to something else. Cities like Little Rock that haze been in a large measure dependant upon saloon rev eHae are looking elsewhere for funds with which to run the public busi- hess. In Little Rack Mayor Taylor $ administration has hit upon the hap py plan Of leyyiug a special tax upon the mercantile interests of the city, equitably ranging from s to $500 year, according to the amount Of stock carried The professional man who has nothing to sell natm- ally escapes, since it is not permit occupation tax. But the proposed tax is meeting with almost unani- nous approval, since the people real ize that the efficiency of municipal departments must be maintained
 State, county, township and city officials are united in the deternins ation to see that the law is enfore= e1, and they are not looking for atty special efforts to violate it. Public sentiment is with them, and the dealers are themselves lawabid ing.
