At Penney Memorial Church

Rev. A. B. Howell, who has lived
in Mexico and Cuba since 1893, will
speak at the Penney Memorial
church on Sunday morning as an
nounced in another column of the
Kennebec Journal today. Mr. Howell
was born and brought up in Browns
vile, Texas. This city is situated
just across the Rio Grande river
from Mexico and has been the scene
of many border raids. Mr.. Howell Is
intimately acquainted with the Next
can problem and can throw much
light on questions that have puz-
zled our statesmen. He was sent 20
Cuba soon after the Spanish Ameri-
can War and has acquired an init
mate knowledge of the life Of the
Cuban people. He was given leave
of absence from his duties in Cuba
that he might engage in overseas Y.
M. c. A. work and has recently re-
turned from years service in
France. He is now under appoint
ment by the American Baptist Home
Mission society to return to Cuba
and have full charge of a great pro-
gram of education, calculated -
reach the people in every section OF
the island. His address will abound
in personal experiences, and will be
of absorbing interest. 1t is not an
appeal for financial aid.

more, Junior and senior classes IS
sound Internationally.
(2) II the two school buildings are
thus placed. it will be necessary To
equip and maintain one set only OF
manual training equipment, one set
only. of domestic art equipment. one
set only Of commercial equipment.
Furthermore, inasmuch as the new
building will doubtless have gym.
nasium this would serve the pur-
poses Of both schools.
60 Inasmuch as the present heat
ing plant at the Cony High school
must be renewed within few years,
a central heating plant would take
care Of both buildings at q minimum
cost.
A further reason impslling the
Board to the position 10 that IL the
building program at Capitol Park
were carried out. 1t would still be
necessary to undertake anotner
building project at Cony High school
to relieve the congestion there. BY
building on the High school lot, in
!! stead Of Capitol Park. the city will
be obliged to finance only one build.
ing project instead Of two. aud the
future expansion Of the elementary
grades will be as satisfactory and as
completely provided for.
The Board feels that the constitu-
tional debt limit of the city will not
admit Of the raising of a sufficient
amount to build the kind Of building
that Augusta ought to have, out feels
that If neighboring cities can raise by
private subscription the sum of $780,
600 for a High school building. there
are enough wealthy md public spirit
ed people interested in Augusta to
make the building project possible.

Cony High. Building
Too Small for the
Number Of Students

Says the Board Of Education. The
Present School Building Designed
for Maximum Of 400 Students,
Must This Year lnadsquately
House More Than 500.
For more than year now it has
been apparent to the members OF the
Board Of Education that a new school
building must in the near future Lee
constructed in this city. The ques-
ton Of the kind of building which
should be built, and where it should
b. located to best serve the future
growth Of the city, and at the same
time not block any desirable changes
that might be made In the organixa.
tion Of the schools. has been given
serious consideration BY the Board
for some months. ~
Il has become more and more ap-
parent to the Board that in planning
for Q new building the Junior Senior
High school plan Of organixat ton
should be followed. This form VI
organization has been enthusiast.
cally endorsed by practically every
educator In the, country, and In
cities whore new buildings are being
constructed or are under considera.
ton the Junior Senior High school
organization is being quite generally
followed. The application of this
plan OF organization to Augusta will
not only solve the problem of con-
gestion at Cony High, but will cake
care ofsthe growth in the elementary
schools on both sides of the river for
a considerable period Of time.
After careful consideration for
some months Of the kind of building
that will best serve the educational
interests Of the school children Of
Augusta and the location Of such a
building. the Board of Education has
come to the conclusion that tho
Junior-Senior High school plan is
right, and that tho new building
should be located either on the pres
ent High school lot or on property
adjacent to it.
The Board realizes that any Local
ton which may be designated would
meet with objections on the part OF
some citizens, but looking at the sys-
tenn as a whole the High school lot
seems to be the location for the next
school building.
The reasons impelling the Board
to come to this conclusion are:
~ The Board believes that the
plan of collecting into one organiza-

mentary grades. and the freshman

city indicates that they have made
their fall migration. to .milder chimes

sters among the warblers and the
sparrows have fulfilled their summer
mission in this section OF, the couu.
try. and have taken up the trackless
air route to their winter home, and
but a few straEglers remain. Anoth-
er indication that the migration Of
the feathered songsters has taken
place 10 the presence Of sparrow
hawks in the thickly settled portions
of the city. Two Of them. were no.
ticed yesterday morning scaling
about the clump Of trees at the foot
of Court street. These birds are not
wild. but during the summer season.
when small birds are rlenty every
where. these hawks do not have to
come 50 near the business streets in
search Of food. Yesterday their
presence at the foot of Court street
was evidently matter of consider
able annoyance to a bunch Of Eng
l!sh sparrows occupying that vicinity.
