Night SCHOOL Plans.
The first floor of the building has
been especially designed for the use
Of night school students. On this
floor will be practically all the short
hand. typewriting and bookkeeping.
BY this arrangement only one floor
Will have to be opened for the night
classes.
The auditorium will have a seating
capacity of 1.500. A balcony will seat
500 Of this number. 1t will be on the
first floor
The top floor will have rooms for
classes in domestic art. domestic sci
ence and drawing. In connection with
the domestic art course there will be
a model suite. similar to the one at
Central High School
The rife range will be 1S5 feet in
length and will rank among the best
in the country. 1t will have ten
shooting targets.
The athletic field will be larger
than the one at Central and will be
modern in every respect. 1t will
have at least ten full-sized tennis
courts. Stands with a seating ca
pacity of about 1000 probably will
be erected around the field. Def
mite plans for the stands. however,
have not been completed.
1t is virtually certain that the new
Eastern will not have a stadium.

School authorities are opposed to the
erection of stadium at this institu-
tion, pointing out that it would oc-
cupy too much space and would be
too expensive.
Although agitation for new
school for Eastern was started in
1910. 1t was six years later before
Congress appropriated part OF the
funds for it's construction. The pres
ent site of the new building was
acquired in 1916 at a consideration
Of approximately $225,000.
Plans for Building.
Original plans for the building
were drawn by Snowden Ashford.
former municipal architect. They
were later revised and completed by
Albert l.. Harris. his successor.
Opening of the new school will re-
lieve to a certain extent the con-
gested conditions in several other
high schools. Charles Hart. principal
of Eastern. believes that the new
building will open with an enroll
ment Of at least 1900 students, 200
less than it's capacity.
He pointed out that the enroll
ment at Eastern during the school
year just closed was 775. and he
expects about 800 during the next
term.

STREAMING AFTER PRIZES

Women who follow the social game
remark on the intense desire mani
tested by society folks to win prizes
at bridge parties and other competi-
lions. A may have her house
well filled with silver ware and brio
a-brac. But the Offering of a silver
spoon or sugar tongs stirs the lust
of battle In her heart. She fingers her
cards feyerishly, her heart beats when
she plays her hand, and her whole be
ing seems concentrated on winning
that insignificant trinket.
Her mind is so on her work thai
| she can not bear any interruption
She would fail to notice a long los
friend IL the latter interrupted the
intensity of her concentration at thai
inopportune moment.
The men folks say that the compe
titions for prizes at athletic events
Is different. The contestants are in
tent on winning, but they care little
about the trophy. The reputation o
success is what appeals to them
There is a touch Of the barbaric lef
N the women folks and the glin
of a precious metal makes their hearts

In June, l9i4-before the World

in The American Magazine made this
extraordinary comment:
In the United States u trlfle over !
per cent of the murderers are executed,
In Great Britain and nearly all Europe
a very much greater proportion Is
speedily and relentlessly put to death.
As the direct consequence OF this there
are more murders In the United States
per million of inhabitants than the
combined totals per million of Great
Britain and all Europe, ommitting Rus
sia.
In 1g19-after the World war-at
n time when Americas policy of deal
ing mercifully with criminals had re-
suited In the "crime wave" and al
most daily murders were beginning
there were more murders In the city
of Chicago alone. with a population OF
