The problem of the junior high
school, President Somers adds. is one
of the most important facing the edu
cational world to-day. SO far. no
agreement has been reached as to the
proper organization of such schools.
Under the leadership Of City Superin-
tendent Ettinger, it is the ambition Of
the present Board of Education to sup
ply practical answer to this ques-
tion and at the same time, by group
ing OF upper grades in central build
lngs, relieve the prevailing crowding
in schools and extend the facilities for
younger pupils.
"The addition Of the ninth year, or
first high Thool year," the report
points out, ITO the centrally locate d
schools will 90 far toward relieving
the congestion in the high schools.
Courses of instruction for these Junior
high schools can be so devised as to
guide the student class along definite
lines"
Old Boards Plans "Scrapped"
In drawing on the $11 1,S39,39s, which
was left unexpended in the school con-
struction account, the plans of the out
going board were "scrapped" in toto
by the present school heads. Acting in
cooperation with the Board Of Superin-
tendents and the Building Bureau, the
Board of Education adopted a standard
type of school building, layout and
equipment. Hereby, President Somers
SAYS, much time and labor heretofore
expended in determining upon the type
of building needed for a particular To-
caity" will be saved, and construction
costs appreciably lowered.
Plans for five new buildings of this
sort have already been approved by
the board, together with additions to
four buildings and alterations to
twenty others. In all Of these, the
report declares, classroom space has
been increased without any correspond
ing increase in cost, gymnasium and
shops have been amply provided for,
special attention has been given to pro-
viding ample play space and, while the
buildings are planned for single ses-
sion schools, they are so arranged as
to be convertible into double session
schools if need arises.
Taking up the matter of the Gary
plan, President Somers says:
When we organized, there were
thirty-five schools operating under the
Gary plan, with provision for extend
ing it into seventy-one other schools
and in ten additions. This extension
work was Immediately stopped, and the
funds available for altering the build
ings will be used to improve those
buildings for regular school work with

Father Living in Burlington is Notified
of Sons Death by Coroner
]. G. Miller.

Exposure to the severe weather and
a weak heart was fatal to George Hat
ten last night.
Hatten was found at the side Of the
building occupied by the Rock Island
Brewery company's distributing plant
on Twenty-fourth street, between
Third and Fourth avenues, in an I'M
Z conscious condition by patrons of the
cafe next door. He was found about
o'clock and it is not known how
long he had been lying there. He was
taken into the cafe at 31S Twenty
fourth street and Dr. Joseph De. Silva
was summoned, but before his arrival
death came.
Coroner John Miller was notified,
and investigation revealed that Hat
ten had father living in Burlington.
He was notified last night of his sons
death Corone' Miller stated that
death came from heart failure and ex-
posture to the cold, and not from foul
play, which the patrons of the cafe
believed had caused his death. Papers
and money was found on the body,
proving that no attempt was made to
rob him.
Hatten had been living at a room
ing house on Twenty-fourth street
and Fourth avenue and had been
boarding at the cafe near which he
was found. The proprietor Of the
place stated that he had met Hatten
in Muscatine before, but that he knew
little of his relations or Of his life.
The body was removed to the Wheelan
undertaking parlors, where an inquest
will be held tonight.

materially to the building up OF the

desires to see running automatically,
whether or not he is present. Since

and has given him greater liberty in

This department passes on and has
authority to settle questions from 9TH
er departments. An instance of its
work was shown recently when the
dhartermaster's department wanted
storage plants with a capacity Of 90,-
900 tons of meat built. The coordina-
ton department figured that the de-
mand was based on the old army al
lowance of 20 ounces of fresh meat
daily for the troops, but did not take
into consideration that smoked meats
and fish could be substituted for fresh
meat on some days.

REDBLOODED
MEN WIN OUT
They Are Always On Top

1t is a fact that red blooded men
and women are at the top in every
walk of life. Men and women with
the driving force of red blood, rich
in Iron and Phosphates do things,
they get results.
Red blooded women are the heads
OF the happiest and most contented
homes, they have the will and the
desire to be real companions and help
mates.
Leadership and happiness is only
ing to keep their blood and nerves
strengthened and nourished with Iron
and Phosphates.
A prominent doctor says, 1T is a
crime that so many men and women
lack the rich, red blood and strong
steady nerve to achieve their ambi-
tons. 1t Is all the more SO because
thin, watery blood is unnecessary, as
rich, red blood and strong nerves are
within the grasp Of everyone. Phos-
phated Iron makes pure blood by
making new blood. 1t gives strength,
brings color to the cheeks, increases
the weight ana appetite, drives away
the blues and those sleepless nights,
steadies and renews your nervous
energy, makes you feel like live one
once again"
There must be something in 1t.
