place with a total of S370.921, with
Miami in striking distance with a to-
tai of $369,300. The other four cities

months of the current year was 3d.
912,145 and permits issued during ne
/ first ten days of November raised that
figure to more than $4,000,0J0. The
value of permits in October was
greater than that of any single month
in the history of the city except dur
ing the record months of May and
June this year when the figure went
to more than 100000
Tampa's total for the first ten
months was swelled to $3,591,144, an
increase of more than $1,000,OO0 over
! the same period last year. The value

months of 1921 is above the $4,000
600 mark, new construction author
lied in October having swelled it to
$4,313,200. OF the October permits 95
were for dwellings while the largest
/ project authorized was the private
and maternity ward of the city hos
pital, to cost $73,3O0 The total for
the year to date is within $4,000 OF
/ the total for all of 1920, which was
/ the record year
/ Orlando during the first ten months
of 1921 was within sight of the total
for all of last year when the aggre-
gate value of permits for the twelve
months was S1,S41,712. Permits is
sued in October exceeded those of the
same month last year by $4,000, the
largest projet being an apartment
house to cost $4,000. The actual
value of construction in Orlando will
greatly exceed the total value of the

city building department show that
on the average the value of a strnr-
ture usually is about three times the
figure stated in the permit. I'm tnls

Philbrook Says Governors
Figures Misleading; Shows
Actual School Costs Here

Members Of the school board of the
Warren district have taken exception
to statements reported TO have been
recently made by Governor Campbell
in an address before the Teachers
Association at Phoenix, in winch he
Douglas and at Bisbee.
Governor Campbell is reported 10
have said, IF it costs SGT per child
per year for the common schools OF
Douglas. why should the per capita
cost be S102 at Bisbee, or sS5 at Tue
SOM" He pointed out other wide Ill
vergencies in cost
Members of the board declare that
when several other items are taken
into consideration it will be foun,i
that the cost in Bisbee is lower than
in Douglas. A statement on the sub
ject given out by the board follows:
In the first place. the Bisbee
school district covers les square miles
and Douglas SO. square miles. In Bis
bee we have sixteen graded schools,
three junior highs and one high
school, in Douglas eight graded schools
and one high school. The population
of Douglas being more compact, the
schools are larger and less expensive
to administer, while in Bisbee the
schools are scattered over a large
territory and are small hence, more
expensive to administer. Bisbee main
tains six kindergartens, Douglas none.
Bisbee transports the teachers to the
outlying schools and brings to the
Junior and high school pupils from
the smaller schools. there is nothing
of that kind in Douglas. A hundred
and sixty one days of school WAS
maintained in Douglas the past year.
Bisbee maintained two hundred and
thirty-three days of school. Our man.
ual training and domestic science de-
partments have been highly developed
and more teachers have been employ
ed for that line of work than in Doug
las. The night school department in
the Bisbee schools is the largest in
the Stale of Arizona.
THE jist of the whole matter Is
this: that when all these things are
considered the cost per day. per pu.
pill. in Douglas was 42.4 cents and n
Bisbee 1913 cents

THALEAN OPENS
WITH l2O PUPILS
Consolidated Sch Dol
Starts Off Auspicious-
ly; Enthusiasm High

Monday was opening day for Tha-
can consolidated school west Of Am
circus. Almost every patron in the
school was at the opening. There was
good cheer and the best, of feeling
prevailed Never were people appar-
emily more uniteG and determined to
make of this great school. There
were 12O pupils in attendance, which
is the greatest number that the school
ever had before during the first
week.
Prof. X. f. White, the principal,
made a masterful address, as did Miss
Ruth Courteney Chappell, who teach
es the 9th, 7th and 9Th grades, bring
ing forth hearty applause by her en-
utterances. MISS Annie
who so successfully taught
the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades last year,
is with this school for another sea-
son and gave voice to her great en-
thusiasm in the work. Miss Caster,
who teaches the primary grade was
cheered when she spoke of the great
work in store for Thalean district.
Miss Marguerite Solomon, the music
teacher, who is very popular and well
patronized, spoke encouraglngly to
the patrons.
Thalean is located six miles south
east of Americus and it would be a
very difficult thing to convince the
patrons of this school that there is
a better school anywhere in the
south than Thalean with her splen-
did corps of five teachers. Every one
of the teachers in the literary de-
partment is a normal school graduate.
Perhaps no community in the South
is more thoroughly united and de-
termined to staond for local taxation
enough to maintain it's school to the
h CHEST degree of efficiency. The new
model school building with its thir-
teen acres of land makes this
most imposing sight to behold The
local trustees, J. r. Leslie, A. H. Jcn-
nings and R. A. Nicholson, are pub
lie spirited and are anxious for its
success.

The contributions announced for

total Of new contributions for the last

Announcement was made today by

1000 MEN READY
FOR TROUBLE CALL.

LOGAN, w. Va, August 30 by
Associated Press. More than one
thousand men, made up OF two>com-
ranies of state police, hoat Of depu-
ty sheriffs and armed volunteer citi-
zens, are ready, their leaders said,
for any eventuality growing out of
the fight Sunday between state troop
ers and the band Of armed men on
the east slope of Spruce Fork Ridge.
Reports from Captain Brockus 20
the sheriff said that the early hours
of the day were quiet, but a great
deal Of restlessness was apparent in
the Coal River field, with many men
gathered there.
Last night was one of uncertainty
as to what was happening along the
Logan-Boone county line and early
today was much the same. SO alarm
ing was the situation that Governor
Morgan sent a midnight appeal to
President Harding requesting immed-
late aid. In his request the governor
quoted the adiutant general as re
porting that the armed bands he had
ordered to disperse had refused and
continued to maintain patrol on the
roads along boundaries of the two
counties.

E DIT ORIAL .

II is betraying no secret to state that
the response on the part of the gem
eraI public to the proposal to erect
a memorial monument to the Sumter
county boys who served in the great
war is very disappointing to the COM
mittces having the campaign in
charge. with faith in their fellow
citizens that there existed in the
hearts of the people only thanksgiv-
ING, a d that there was an actual de-
mand on the part of the public that
some proper recognition be made Of
the services of these young men, tn"
campaign was planned and launched
The fact that only an extremely small
number have given ANYTHING at
all as yet is a keen disappointment.
Perhaps a greater disappointment
lies in the fact that a number who
were able and expected to give gem
erously have given .9cagerly. AT a
conference of the campaign advisory
committee yesterday it was suggested
.hat it would be well to let the pub
lie know that one dollar gifts from
those well able to give more will not
build the monument. Some cannot
give much; for some a dollar is a
large Gift and for others dollar is
more than their limit. But with
some, also, it is far too small. A few
S1OO gifts are sorely needed to bring
the fund M to the total it should at
! tain to give any assurance that 1t
/ will be raised within the time limit
set 1t would be very fine to build
the monument with 81 limit to the
gifts. But that is an impossibility
the committee decided and those able
to give more will have to do so, i
the movement succeeds.
