For death. I'm sure h" oftent!mrn does
pray;
For himself and faithful wife after tolins
all their lIfe;
Find they're poor. they're old and only in
the way
SO let uq cheer them on. they won't be with
Don't snecr at them because they're old
and gray;
But remember while you're young. that the
days TO you may come.
When you'll be Old and only in tho way.
Now my little song I'm sure IL for rich

You take rich man when he's growing

His friends grasp him by tho hand. rela-

demand the rights won by war Re-

MED today the statement issued by

1T vas foolish charge and one
which can be disproved easily" said
MIR. Forbes. who is d former governor
general of these islands. The con-
ference with the Igorrotes was at
tended by chiefs of the different
tribes and no one tried to influence
them in expressing their views.
"If the men in charge of the Philip
pine propaganda cannot get more
intelligent way of conducting the

Launching of concerted campaign
to secure from Congress appropria-
tions for a new and greatly enlarged
building for the Mckinley Manual
Training School, now located at 7th
street and Rhode Island avenue, was
announced last night at the spring
reunion of the Tech Alumni Associa-
tion in the auditorium of the school.
Decision of the supporters of the
school to abandon completely previous
efforts to obtain an addition to the
present building. and instead to work
for a distinct edifice to be erected out
side the congested district of the city,
was disclosed in a report to the asSo-
citation by the greater Tech commit
tee" composed of members of the
faculty, alumni and student body. The
report was made and explained by
Louis F. Mattern of the faculty, gen.
eral chairman of the committee; Myles
F. Connors, chairman of the ways and
means subcommittee. and J. Harper
Snapp, chairman of the publicity sub
committee.
No Room for Additions.
The greater Tech committee" it
was stated, had found on thorough in
vestigation that it would be inadvisa-
BILE to carry out original plans for an
addition to the present building on
Rhode Island avenue. in view of the
congestion of business houses and
residences in the vicinity. The pro-
posal to construct an entirely separate
building, as was done by Central and
Eastern high schools. appeared more
favorable to the committee. in view
of the increased needs of the school.
1t is expected that a suitable plot of
ground in the northwest section,
where room for unlimited expansion
is available, will be selected by the
committee.
The new building, it is planned, will
have a seating capacity Of at least two
or three thousand students. The pres
ent structure was built to accommodate
about a thousand students. The enroll
ment is nearly half again in excess Of
the capacity, it is said. In addition. it
