rangement but to show possibilities
and to create an interest in household
decorating
The contrast of the blue draperies
and the dark mahogany-colored furni-
ture is very pleasing as also are the
orange notes of the painting, the desk
lamp and the sconces. The designing
has been done to create discussion and
criticism.
Much of the success of the room is
due TO the interest and personal at
tention of L. p. Thurston. interior
decorator Of the W. o. Crawford
store. and to the Rooney Furniture
company Window draperies for the
| room were made by Mr.. Thurston, who
also assisted in arranging it. Furpi-
ture and accessories were furnished

ing an enthusiastic league of nations
demonstration. He expressed the hope
that America would soon adopt this
viewpoint, join the league and assist
it with all its might.
The premier said that one of the diff

the league was in the fact that the

had a vote, but he asserted that it
should be understood that South

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Feb. 19-Hag-
erstown faces a problem. Constantly
increasing demand for improved
school facilities, combined with the
high prices Of building material in the
past few years, have resulted in a
unique situation here. AS a result,
the town is waking up to a situation
that will require the cooperation of
every citizen before it is remedied.
For the past thirty years or more,
Hagerstown has used for educational
purposes a large brick building, not
the latest in architecture to be sure,
but at the same time a substantial
building, roomy and amply adequate
to care for the pupils of that time.
But of late years the enrolment has
been rapidly outgrowing the building.
Annex Constructed
Today rooms are so crowded that
a temporary annex has been erected
to care for the overflow. The old
building although condemned, is still
in use. A group of local women. pre-
sumably with the best interests of
the town at heart have been agitating
recently for the transfer of the man
agement of the town schools from the
school board to the township trustee.

agreed that something must be done.
Yet, SO many different plans have

Gated, that for my part, I cannot form
an opinion. ! would be glad to do
what is best, but there is not enough
general information TO go on.
Apparently that is the attitude of
bulk of the citizenship of the town

tendent of schools in. Hagerstown,
took the attitude that the present agi-

turn the matter over in their minds,
with view to seeing what could be
done.
Fear One Man Control.
The proposed transfer of the man.
agement of the schools from the hands
of the local school board to the town
ship trustee is feared by many because
of the tendency it might have to bring
control of the schools into the hands
: Of politicians. "One man control" in
the form of the township trustee
which would then ensue is a change
that is not regarded favorably.
