Architects Report on the
Condition of the School Building

over so per cent of the stability of the
building, on account of the negligence
in this bracing by the josts and sub
/ flooring had same been put in. A few
11sx]4 inch iron anchors with cast iron
star washers on the outside Of the brick
walls, have been put in, which extend
on the joists about Is inches, having two
nails to the ioists; such anchors do not
brace the building to any extent, when
it is considered that the joists do not
extend from wall to wall, which would
form continuous bracing and give sta
biIity.
The iron columns in the center of the
first floor class room are set on wood
blocks, something most unusual, and
poor construction; and from this in
ferior construction it was found that it
had been necessary to SHIN up the sec
ond floor with one inch boards to get
same at an even level, which can only oe
accounted for by the idea of iron col
umns setting on a wood foundation.
The building in other directions is
very unsuitable for class purposes, and
even if it was structurally safe would at
the present time require considerable
outlay to put same in proper condition
for school purposes. few of such
items are as follows:
Ihe present roof rsfters are sagged
considerably, and require to be braced
with collar beams for safety.
The present composition roofing +, n
the roof deck, and the present shinglilg
are worn out and the building requires
new roof covering thruout.
The window frames and sash are in a
bad state OF repair. Same should be
made new with box frames and iron
weights SO the sash can be moved up OF
down easily for ventilation. All of the
windows and doors should have fly
screens.
Stoves in the class rooms are out Of
date, not to mention the danger from
lire, where same are placed on wood
floors. Such a system of heating does
not permit of fresh air being brot into
the rooms, being only system of re
heating the air in the rooms which pe-
comes foul unless the air in the room
can be changed, which ultimately will
cause sickness among the scholars.
The first floor ioists are set very close
to the soil which makes the first floor
class room unsanitary, and not having
any ventilators to vent the space under
the floors, the danger from epdeuics is
very strong. A rodent or other animal
tnat should die under this floor from
eurs' expenses before the source of the
trouble was found out.
The columns and posts in the center
of the class rooms on the first and sec
ond floors form serious obstacles to the
teachers in maintaining discipline dur
Ing class hours, as the view from the
teachers position is seriously INSTRUCTED
Ihe class rooms have the windows on
zach side, which is most Objectionable
and is liable to have very deleterious
effect on the eyes of the teachers and
pupils.
After a serious consideration of this
school building as 1t stands at present. l
most respectfully advise your honorable
board to remove the teachers and schol-
ars from the building, as do not be-
lieve the building is safe for school pur-
poses. Yours very truly,
Ro. WILLIsoN.

Poker Chip Material Found.

1t has been several years since open
gambling was allowed in Texas and
other parts of the Southwest. Even
pczer-playing is becoming an almost
lost art. AS an evidence of the fall
ing off in this one-time great national
game. it may be stated that few peo-
pie realize that there now exists an
unprecedented shortage of poker
chips due to the war across the seas.
The knowledge of this threatened
crisis has caused worldwide search
to be made for the mineral known as
barite, which enters largely into the
manufacture of poker chips. In the
days before the foreign war barlte
came chiefly from Austria.
1t is well known to mineralogists
that the Llano region of Texas con-
tains many rare and little-known met
ais. This fact caused a search for
barite to be instituted, with the result
that a large deposit of the metal has
lust been discovered in that district
The poker chip supply will soon be
replenished from this new source OF
raw material.
Barite is also used in the enamelinl
of iron and steel, the manufacture o.
Ipaints, the coating of linoleums ant
oilcloths and the adulteration o.
sugar.

The BOYS Handicap.

Prof. A. S. Alexander declares that
n defect in a horses veins will take
five generations of better breeding to
correct. He makes the effect OF he
redity upon horses so plain that we
find ourselves applying 1t to men
Horse breeders have come to under
stand this terrible handicap In their
efforts to obtain perfect specimens OF
animals, but parents have not taken
the lesson to heart.
If a horse has a fve-generauon
struggle to get even for one single mis-
take nature makes, how much more
bitter the struggle of a boy to over
come the mistakes with the added
ignorance of Indifferent or criminal
parents?
The effect of heredity upon the men
tal physical and moral nature of boys
IS certainly worth as much study and
interest as upon animals, but there
is vet much to be done. Let us hope
that when we have learned how tt
breed perfect horses we may turn oul
attention toward creating a better In
fluence upon the lives of boys ant
men.-C. M. Miller. eft

Three-Toed Horse Fossil.

A well-preserved set of teeth and
iawbone of an animal which Prof. j. G.
Jones of the Nevada State university
declares were the property of three
toed horse of the Upper Miocene age
have been unearthed in the Washoe val
ley, on the Pedroli ranch, by university
engineers.
Professor Jones says the horse prob
ably roamed the wilds of Nevada some
100000 years ago.
He says the horses of that date were
even smaller than the Shetlands of
the present day, and are classified as
the eohippus. The specimens We're
found in q well which apparently pene-
trated a prehistoric lake bed. Teeth
Of mammoths, fossil leaves and other
specimens of prehistoric ages have
been found in wells on the Pedrol
ranch. They are among the best II
the fossil collection at the university
as they show clearly the age and classi
6cation to which they belong.

ENGLISH RULE IN GREEN ISLE
Dates From Twelfth Century, When
Stronqbow Invaded Country to As
sist King of Lelnster.

Visitors to the historical places and |
buildings of Ireland hear much talk of |
Strongbow. In the twelfth century, |
when S.-onsoow became famous, Ire
land was divided into many small
provinces, and each of these had its
petty king. Dermot marlborough,
who was king of the province of
Leinster, was a very cruel and unpop-
ular ruler, and he was so disliked and
abused by his people and the neigh
boring rulers that he finally fled to
England, where he begged King Henry
III for help in subduing his enemies.
But Henry remembered that there
were many other kings in Ireland and
he refused to side with MacMurrough,
though he gave permission to any of
his subjects who liked, to go to Ireland
and aid the Leinster king. A company
of barons, therefore, left their barren
| lands in South Wales and crossed
over to Ireland to win themselves rich
lands there where soil was fertile. At
the head Of this band of barons was
Richard de Clare, earl of Pembroke,
who was known as Strongbow. They
landed at Waterford, which city these
barons straightway captured. Strong
bow made his claim even stronger
by marrying the daughter of Dermot
MacMurrough. Then. learning that
Dublin was just then struggling to
free itself from the rule of the Danes,
lStrongbow made all haste in that di-
10
city by storm. Since that first land
ling and conquest by Strongbow and
the other barons the English have al
WAYS held more or less power over Ire
land.
An old historian, named Cambren-
sis. gives us the following quaint de
scription of the warrior Strongbow
"Ihe earl was somewhat ruddie and
of sanguine complexion and freckle-
faced, his eies grei, his face feminine
his voice small, and his necke little
but somewhat of a high stature. Tic
was very liberal, courteous and gen
tie: what he could not compasse ant
bring to passe in died, he would viii
by good words and gentle speeches
In time of peace he was more readi'
to yield and obeie than to rule ant
beare swaie. In all chances of warre
he was still one and the same name
of man, being neither dismaid witt
adversitie nor pulled up with pros
peritie," a picture which hardly fit
such a twelfth-century conqueror.-

 The state objected when the de fense sought to introduce deposi- tion taken at Louisa, Lawrence Coun- ty, Kentucky, detailing Blacks en- trance into and departure from the Masonic order The deposition was intended to injure Blacks character, the state contended.
 The defense had contended that the deposition was admissible as show ing that Black was unreliable and that statements made by him could not be believed Just before court adjourned, Attorney Stubbs produced the judgement of the district court of Harrison County, acquitting Harry Vim and Frank O'Leary of Marshall in connection with the killing of Black.
 Attorney Royston for the defense argued that the whole trend of the states case had shown a purpose to charge conspiracy on the part of the men who went to Blacks room to kill him. He said that the fact that two men had been acquitted would bear on any charge of conspiracy against other men being tried or to be tried.
 The state argued that the action of another jury should not be allowed to influence the action of the present jury.
