the fact that 80 little time elapsed between
the moment he shot himself and the moment
he was laid on the operating table. DR. SIN
estimates that hve minutes after Fisk hred

the incision in the chest cavity had been made
and the action Of the heart had been artlfcial-

However. It seems certain that the bullet
stopped heart action almost immediately after
II passed through the organ. Which means
that during the ive minutes that elapsed before

dead.

our country schools did not have
them and yet people lived and were
strong. Yes; such is the case. But we
must also consider that where we
have fewer people and a less number
of school children the chances of
conveying and contracting disease of
different kinds is reduced in the same
ratio. Our school here is overcrowd-
ed now. | am told that in some of the
rooms our theachers are forced to
have three pupils at desks made for
two. By the Jealous work of our
board Of directors, u superintendent
and his good corps of teachers our
High School is fast growing beyond
the present school building and the
question of providingg more room
must soon be met. If the Ladies' and
Patrons Club will take this matter
in hand and see that the voters in
their respective families understand
the imperative need of more room,
and that they give the board of d.
r~ectors their support, l am confident
that the day will soon come when
I%ronton will have a High School build
ing Of which we may all feel proud.
AS a matter of dollars and cents as
well as that of civic pride it
would be of great benefit to all.
Good people come to make their
homes where they find good schools.
