young" but he returned later, and
then old. blind and alone, "Ossian after
the Feinn." he told the story Of the
heroes to St Patrick. In 176O-63

"knoeked Into a Cooked Hat"

This phrase Is said to have originat-
three pins were set up in form of a
triangle and when all pins except these
three were knocked down, the set was
technically said to be knocked into a
cooked hat" This phrase in time
came to mean entirely out of shape"
or out of ''plumb." Another eXplana-
ton is that the phrase refers to the
cooked hat worn by naval officers
which was SO limp that 1t could be
readily folded up in a shape quite un-
like its original shape. Hence, the
meaning of the term has come to be
understood to be thoroughly beaten or
altered beyond recognition.

COUNCIL FOR new
SCHOOL BUILDING

On Thursday night the members
of the board Of education and super
intendent appeared before the city
council and asked for a junior high
school building and the aldermen by
a unanimous vote granted the request.
The most pressing need for a new
building is the housing of the pupils
now going to the annex The annex
is inadequate, unsanitary, poorly
lighted, obscures the light in the as
sembly room of the high school build
ing, has no ventilation except through
the windows, no playground facilities
for the boys and girls of an important
age, and is an eye-sore in the COM
munity. The building is covered with
a paper roof and was intended as a
temporary structure. Moreover, the
high school building is now housing
the kindergarten and seventh grade
By reason of this te domestic science
department has its kitchen on the first
floor and the sewing room on the
third floor Under the present ar
rangement there is no adequate room
for the commercial department.
There is needed for next year one
more grade room and there will have
to be provision in the near future for
sub-normal children All these rea-
sons make building of some sort i'm
peratively necessary 1t is proposed
to build junior high school on the
Noyes property, consisting of four
lots, now owned by the city, at the
corner of Ash and First streets
A new building will provide for
the annex children and those children
in the high school building who do
not belong there. 1t will make the
high school building adequate for an
other generation.
Unanimous Vote
The council by unanimous vote
passed the resolution to authorize the
board Of education to go ahead and
secure plans and specifications for
the building, together with an esti-
mate of the cost. The board does not
know how much the structure will
cost but judged it would take sum
between $4,000 and 100000
The case for the board was present
ed by the president, E. P. McFetridge,
followed by Commissioner W. D. Stan
ley, Mrs. E. F Dithmar, also COM
missioner, and A c. Kingsford, super
intendent of schools.
The board hopes the building may
be erected during the next summer,
filling a need that has been long felt
