GLASSBORO SCHOOL MEN
FACE HARD PROBLEM
Erection of $4,000 Building With
Appropriation of $4,000
Worries Directors

Glassboro, y. j., April 15.-Building a
$4,000 grammar school for $4,000 Is
the proposition the Board Of EDUCATION
is up against. When the board asked
the voters for the latter amount, after
tho old school was destroyed by fire,
building material was considerably lower
than now, and although bids have been
asked for twice, with notifications in
the second plans. none was low enough
to give out contract. The board wants
sixtccn-room building and plans for
the same had been prepared. What is
really needed is a twcnty-room school,
80 that additions can be added as the
town grows. Some of the members OF
the board know that larger building is
necessary but are somewhat backward
IN asking for further appropriations. hut
IL looks as though this must be the next
strD.
Tile architect says a siNtccu-room
building cannot he erected for tine
present appropriation. one of the prom
ment builders stated that the longer the
building IL put off the more IL will cost
as prices are advancing.

Ball VS.. Roller Bearings.

Ball bearings are a German inven-
ton, and it is only n few years ago
that they made their appearance on
the market. Roller bearings, both CYL
indrical and conical, are an American
invention. The advantages claimed for
the rollers over the balls are that they
can sustain both the radial and the
axial strain and they are more easily
replaced when they become worn.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Davenport Times: Did you ever
hear of mail carrier who became
postmaster because he had been a
good mail carrier, or a clerk in the
postoffice who became head of the
office because he had been an ex-
ceptionally good mail clerk?
But you have heard of many rail-
way managers who have been tele-
graph operators, or began as clerks
or were brakemen and conductors in
their younger days. The annals of
American railways are full of such
instances.
The dead level of the civil service,
necessary for fairness under govern.
ment ownership, is responsible for
the condition in the one case. The
freedom of railway executives, under
private ownership, to pick the men
who know the business and to pro-
mote them, is responsible for the ad-
vances that men have made in the
railway business.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
WHEN WEST WIND BLOW

WHEN WEST WIND BLOWS.
The West Wind is the home-bound wind
As it blows the sea;
And every breeze bears breath OF love
From a lonely heart to thee.
And the West Wind sings it sweeps along
Where it plays with the white-capped foam;
But it will not pause for it bears song,
And the theme of the song is-Home.
And the West Wind whispers, soft and low
AS Of old in the lullaby,
And a father hears, it starts to blow
The sound OF baby's cry.
Then he sends kiss to his little child
And the West Wind bears it home;
While doughboy down in the front line trench
Wings prayer the wind in the gloam.
For France is the East and the wind is West,
And the is long, long way,
But the bridge of the is wisp of love,
At the close Of lonely day.
So the West Wind bears on its broad. broad breast
AS it swings its way the sea,
A thought Of love to million hearts
And a throb of love to thee.
To thee does the West Wind bear a thought
Dost thou hear Of 1t over there,
Oh mother heart, and baby dear,
On the soft sweet twilight air?
And, woman God gave dost thou hear it, too?
For it goes like a dart to thee;
Hank! It blows the path of the sunset warm
West bound the eastern
For the West Wind is the Home Bound Wind
And it blows with no vagrant chance;
.Tis the Wind of Love in the hand of God
And it blows the fields OF France,
