be held on the goth of January each

EARTHQUAKES
AND ZEPPELINS.

While the people of England are
being kept in a terrible state OF sus-
pense by the occasional appearance
of Zeppelins and the dropping OF
bombs, the inhabitants Of Italy are
suffering intense anxiety from sels-
mic disturbances. Quakes are still be-
ing felt, and mid-winter nights are
spent by many in fear and tremb-
ling. The slightest noises are caus-
ing alarm, and in many instances
sleep is out Of the question.
More shocks were felt in various
sections of the country yesterday,
and it is realized that others, more
severe and destructive, are imminent.
adding to the discomfits Of pre-
vailing wintry conditions.
It was hoped that the figures IN
connection with the recent earth
quake were exaggerations, but now
that inventories have been taken
the number Of dead and injured Is
appalling. There were approximately
$4,000 persons killed outright
{twice as many persons as there are
in Alexandria, and 10000 injured.
Sixty thousand are homeless ana
battling with hunger and cold. The
-..roperty damage will reach $751;
1000.
Some of the scenes IN connection
with the terrible work OF the
ouakes are most distressing.
The snow penetrated into the
hastily constructed wooden huts
which shelter all too few Of the many
thousands of homeless. Hundreds are

Proposed New High School Building For Audubon

quite a few of our pupils, yet there
are many of them that are not adapt
ed to this kind of work, or who do
not get the practical good from these
courses that they would from voca-
tional courses. AS a result, a great
many drop out of school, and very
small per cent ever graduate. II
other courses, such as those in COM
mercial subjects, agriculture, manual
training, and domestic science were
offered, larger per cent of these
pupils would not drop out of school,
1t is of immense Importance to keep
pupils in school until they have at
least passed through the high school
age, and this can not be done unless
we have courses of work that will be
adapted to the different needs OF the
various pupils. Many pupils, who
fail to get foreign language work or
higher mathematics, would be able
then to remain in school anyway, and
to finally graduate, if we had these
additional courses. Because of what
it means to the children, it is GER
tainly to be regretted that ordinarily
not over from five to ten members
of the graduating class come from
within the town, when any one or
our grades contains over forty pupils
whose homes are in the town. This
means that as class comes up into
the upper grades and into high
school, from thirty to thrity-five out
of the forty drop out of school. The
having of additional courses of work
that would meet the needs of all of
the pupils, would prevent this drop
ping out process to a very consider
able extent.
1t should also be pointed out that
new high school building could be
used as community social center.
Its assembly room could be so plan
ned as to provide fair sized COM
munity auditorium, and such an aud
itorium, under present conditions,
would meet a need in our town. This
gymnasium could also be used for
community purposes If it were found
desirable. Organizations of young
people, or of business men, or of the
ladies of the town, would find use
for 1t, not only for gymnasium work,
but for social gatherings as well. In
every way, the school could be of bet
ter service to the community and to
its pupils. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance to properly train young
lives, and the community should not
be satisfied to have anything less
than the highest efficiency in its
school work.
