KELSEY, ARCHITECT,

''The Board of Education has never
employed competent architects either as
advisers or to design and superintend
its schoolhouses, says Albert Kelsey,
who characterizes the local building de-,
partment as a plan factory presided
over by an ex -janitor."
Mr.. Kelsey is the architect who de =

architect at the time when John ID. Cas-.
sell was raised from superintendent OF
janitors' service to superintendent OF
buildings, with the responsibility OF
spending several millions of dollars on
the improvement of school buildings in
this city.
Unfortunately, he said, "the board
still stubbornly adheres TO its recent ap
pointment of the ex superintendent .ol
janitor's service to act as architect fol
several million dollars worth of new
buildings and thereby displays little
mindedness and lack of progresslveness
that is ipcomprehensible.

Nurse Arrives to Take Care OF
Stricken FamiIy-Veronica
Is Thankful
TENDED TO WANTS OF ALL

For the first time in two weeks four
teen year old Veronica Summerheld, OF
924 South Twenty third street, sat
down for a little while today with
nothing to do. Like little old woman,
she folded her hands in her lap with
a sigh of thnnkfulness because a nurse
had come.
"Now I'll have time to wash the
children" she said.
She has been cook, nurse and house
keeper for six adults ill with influenza
and FIVE younger children. But, with
the death of her sister, Mrs. Anna
Natalie, early yesterday. the child broke
down and fed to n neighbor with her
sorrowful story. Today neighbors.
nurses, ministers and other philan-
thropically inclined folk have visited the
home, offering their services.
''All the wage earners got down sick
ut once. but l guess We'll pull through
somehow
Protected Children
1t was Veronica's mother. Mrs.

timism between spasms of coughing
She is the most seriously i'll of the five
sufferers now. She has developed pneu :

bed are two married daughters, Mrs
Henrietta Kenny and Mrs. Marie Kelly
The latter is almost well enough to gel

is on couch in the dining room down

Natafe, who died yesterday. Her hus

bed yesterday because some one had tc
help Veronica.
''The children have been pretty
good said Veronica today. IT make
them wait on themselves, cause

| clothes most of all. But since mamma
got sick there hasn't been any way tc
get the laundry done. We haven't had
lot to eat because there wasn't any
one to fix much. But We'll be all right
now.
No Hot Water
"You stay up there in bed, Sadie
till I get your stockings the little
housekeeper called to golden-haired
child peering down the stairs. ''I dom
want any more in the family sick,'' she
added.
Catherine, Sadie and Elizabeth are
children of Mrs. Kenny Fayette and
Cora are Veronica's little brother and
sister. Several of them have bad colds
A nurse was sent by the city de-
partment of health today after the case
had been reported by neighbors. There
was no hot water in the house.. The
rooms were heated separately by small
gas stoves or oil heaters. Mr.. Sum
merfield refused to allow any of them
to be taken to the hospital.

are better. If we just have a nurse
we will be getting along fine. I'll soon
be up. Veronica has been a brick, but

The cost of light per ounce in Phila

he explained, because as might be sup .
