FAE STANLEY:
New School House Thrown Open to
Puh1ie

Public
At an informal meeting Of the school
board Wednesday afternoon, it was
agreed to hold the new Keota school
house open to all public use until such
time as some other public meeting place
may be provided. Opposition was ex.
pressed to allowing church and Sunday
school in the building on the ground
that this would prevent the erection of
church buildings in Keota; but this was
overruled by the thought that consis-
tency would require the closing of other
district schools to such use. Suitable
regulation as to use of the new building,
it was agreed, should be provided, and
sufficient charge made to cover JAM
itor work after each meeting. The
suggestion was made that organiza-
tions using the building should cooper
ate to provide sufficient number of
folding chairs to be placed in the big
west upper room.
The building was used by the general
public for the first time Wednesday
night, when the Literary Society met
there. Lighting and heating were
found to be excellent, and the entire ar
rangement happy contrast to the ac-
commodation 80 long familiar in the old
building.
School opened in the new building
Monday, following the Christmas va
cation. New desks are being put in
this week.

around the curve in the Elevated from

A loose bolt on a platform gate had
escaped the eye of an inspector and as
the train swung around the curve had
dropped off. The gate slid from its
fastenings and clattered to the third
