BANS BOBBED
HAIR At BALLET
Pavley, of Chicago Grand
Opera, Causes Commo-
tion Among Girls
REMAINS FIRM WHEN
ASKED IF JOKING

The question OF bobbed hair has
bobbed up again.
Just when one school OF thinkers
had thought they had convinced
most Of the populace that detached
hair was more hygienic than de-
.mountable hair. along comes one
Andreas Pavley, lavishly equipped
with temperament and courage. and
declares that abbreviated hirsute
adornment was not only inartistic
but ugly, and henceforth would be
not tolerated in the ballet of which
he is lord and master.
The ukase was delivered in a dra-
matte scene. This Pelvey, breathing
heavily and exuding indignation and
offended dignity. stalked upon the
stage OF the Chicago Grand Opera
Association and delivered himself
thus:
Attention MAIDEN oiselles! q have

frowned often. but Il has done no

Thus did Pavley project himself
into the discussion Of whether hair
should be bobbed or unbobbed. and
incidentally raised the question Of
how far his jurisdiction extended
over members Of his ballet.
Were his powers those OF a mon
arch who could dictate the length
Of a girls hair? Well, the girls de-
clded they would see TO what lengths
that mans powers did go. The very
ideal And anyway. what was a girl
to do who had just had her hair

a man to act like that.

School Building

The Leland community may well
feel proud of the splendid school
building which is in course of con-
struction. 1t will be strictly modern
est conveniences to add to the COM
fort and well being of the children.
The new building is centrally To-
Gated in Leland just east of the I. o.
o. F. hall on a slight elevation. 1t
is surrounded by a splendid play
ground for the children, which is a
most desirable feature.
The basement of the building was
completed some time ago. 1t is con-
structed of reinforced concrete Two
class rooms a furnace room and stor-
age room for fuel are contained in the
basement.
The first floor will be divided into
four large class rooms, a principals
Office. "a foot hall equipped with
lockers, etc. Water will be piped to
the building pumping system elevat-
ing it from a we'll to the school house.
The building above the basement
will be a frame structure "A by 90
feet. 1t has very pleasing lines and
will be a big addition to the appear
ance of the town.
The cost of the building alone will
be approximately $4,000. Furniture
and equipment about $4,000, making a
total expenditure of $4,000. The
heating system is included in the
estimate. 1t will consist of hot air
furnace.
The members of the school board
are r. B. Parks, Enoch Harrison and
r. NJ. Smith. In formulating the
plans for such an elaborate building
they are building for the future
While the present course of study
embodies but two years of high school
work. the board believes it is only a
question of time until two more years
of school work will be added.
The contract calls for the compile
tion of the building by August 1,
which will give ample time to install
the furniture and get everything
ready for the opening of the fall term
OF school.

Decided to Organize Band

The meeting called last Friday
night for the purpose of organizing
a band here was we'll attended. The
sentiment seemed unanimous for a
band, but it was found that al
though there are enough musicians
to make up good band, there are
not enough instruments. An exec
utive committee, consisting of A.
K. Carlson, o. E. Macpherson and
K. d. Newton, was appointed to
take up the matter of securing the
necessary instruments and investi-
eating the possibilities of getting a
band leader. 1t is probable that
the band will be organized some
time in the near future.
