SCHOOL BOARD
TELLS NEEDS
Believed by Board That New
School Will BE "A Necessity
Within the Coming Year.
EIGHT ROOM SCHOOL NEEDED
Increase Of over 81 Per Cent in the
Attendance Over Last Year
Tells the Story.

The board of education Of this city
realizes the need Of new eight-room
school for this city and is now call
ing the attention of the people to
the fact that such a school is needed.
The following article shows this and
it should be read by everyone:
TO the Public:
Articles appearing from time to
time in The Record concerning the
lack Of room in our present school
equipment have made it evident to the
casual observer that another peima-
nent school building j. an immediate
necessity.
During the past year the school
population Of the district as we'll as
the enrolment in our city schools has
increased approximately 30 per cent.
Because Of this rapid growth the
board of education deemed it advis-
able to erect temporary buildings 10
care for the immediate needs Of the
communities at the outskirts of our
city. This proposal received the
hearty endorsement of all the taxpay-
ers who attended the meeting called
for the purpose of raising funds to
carry the project into effect. Two
room buildings We're erected at the
Hillcrest and Elmwood subdivisions,
and during the summer the larger
part OF the Colburn school district,
most Of which lay within the city. was
annexed and its building purchased
and moved to lot on Francisco
street. Incidentally it may be noted
that these temporary buildings fully
net the demands of the state depart
ment Of public instruction in the re-
qurements of heat, light and ventia-
ton. and are considered by competent
authorities the most serviceable tenn
pcrary school buildings in the state.
These three buildings, now open and
caring for two hundred children. re-
lieve the crowded condition of the ele-
mentary grades, but do not offer any
relief for the congestion in the inter-
mediate grades. due 10 an unexpect-
odly large enrolment I'M these grades.
There is an immediate need of a
permanent eight-room building in the
eastern part of our city, in which at
the present moment there could be
enrolled two hundred and fifty chill
drcn. all residing east Of Grover and
bridge avenues. II has been deemed
advisable by the board Of education,
in control OF the city schools of Alma.
tc acquaint the pupfc of this acute
situation in order that in the near fu-
ture action may be taken which will
result in adequate school room facil-
tiles.
In the past the taxpayers have will
ingly and generously provided build
ings and equipment, so necessary for
an efficient school system. We are
confident that future obligations will
be as readily met in order that our
present efficient system may suger n)

BISHOP WILLIAMS IN SAGINAW.

An audience of considerably over
three thousand greeted Bishop Viii
liams in the Auditorium, Saginaw, on
Monday night. A large number came
from places round about. but the best
and most influential people of the city
were present The chair was taken
by Wallace Craig Smith and Jerome
Weadock sat by his side. The bishop
appeared in his uniform and prefaced
his lecture with the remark that he
was proud Of it, and told how few peo-
pie he saw during his visit were in
civilian dress. The lecture was inn
prcssive from the first word to the
last Every detail was his personal
experience, especially when he told Of
1. military order issued to the German
soldiers in March worded in such a
way as to show that at that time
throughout the empire was known the
trend Of events and the coming war.
This order the bishop had seen and
read. As the lecturer proceeded 20
tell Of the men being sent to the rear
from the cities occupied by the Ger
mans. and described the physical and
mental condition. the audience was
visibly excited. The opinion of many
respecting the millionaires of this
country was probably changed, or at
least modified, as the bishop told of
hospitals and houses of rest and food
provided entirely by the money of the
wealthy Americans. Most lavishly,
without any thought of themselves.
were these people spending time and
money and winning the gratitude and
esteem Of all who met them. The Red
Cross received very remarkable vim
dication by the lecturer, and the cit
ilens of Saginaw started out TO work
harder than ever before. In the audi
Ience were DR.. and Mrs. Carney, Presi-

The great amount Of special work

GAS COKE PRICES
FIXED by Government Same as An
thracite Coal.

The price Of gas house coke has
been fixed by the government to be
the same as that of hard coal (an-
thracite) for any particular locality.
The prices charged by the Gratiot
County Gas company are still con
siGerably below government prices;
this has been mainly due to the fact
that large supply Of coke was stored
before the gas company was forced
to pay the new government increases
il coal prices at the mines and the
increased freight rates. The gas
company's coke pile has now been
used up and all new coke that will be
made will be produced from higher
priced coal. To offset the increase in
coal prices it is announced by the gas
company that on December lst the
price of coke will be $40 per ton.
After December 18th a higher grade
Of coke viii be manufactured at the
gas plant, and this coke will be equal
to anthracite coal This coke will be
sold at S10.50 per ton and it is the
opinion of the manager Of the gas
that this price will remain
the same the rest of the winter. 1t is
the intention of the gas company not
to avail itself OF the maximum price
by the government unless
such course becomes absolutely
necessary.
approximately eight tons of coke
will be made every day at the gas
plant, and this coke will be sold as
fast as it is made. Orders will be
taken only one day ahead.
In order to relieve the fuel shortage
as much as possible, it is the intention
Of the gas company to sell some Of its
soft coal whenever conditions allow
it and the gas supply is not endan-
pered
