Seats, furnishings, architects fees,
2q6 to Shawley & Tupper have been
paid out of our general fund.
All heating and plumbing material
was bought direct of the Detroit Lead
Pipe Works.
When we started in our architects
told us the bare building would cost
us not less than $4,000 and the
chances were, much more, if let on a
contract for the job as a whole. That
is the reason for, handling the work
as we did, with home labor and home
material as far as possible. Messrs.
Shawley and Tupper worked by the
day the same as any other laborers
and received 2f6 for the use of their
tools and paraphernalia and no one
can say this was not a good bargain
for the school district Outside ma
sons brought in to rush the job de-
manded 25c more an hour than Mr..
Shawley was getting and quit at a
o'clock every day. This one thing
easily explains why a contractor is
up against it and contract jobs cost so
much. A few seem to think we should
have been more lavish with our out
side decoration. The original plan
would have given us more ornamen-
tation at an additional cost of $4,000
but under the high cost conditions
which we were building, the board
considered it would be foolish expen-
diture of the peoples money. After
all, building as near perfection as
possible for actual school work, \vas
our real aim and we believe we have
it. Leading state educators and other
men familiar with good school houses
tell us we have the finest grade
school in Michigan.

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,

Joan had been invited TO lunch Mt

guest Of her aunt, and she felt not nt

OF hours spent over the lunch table
with a half dozen women whom she
had never seen before.
She was an attractive looking girl
Of the athletic type, and the friends
Of her aunt found her bright luncheon

Peggy. Folly Wisher, the goblin, gave
a mocking chuckle.

the only humans in this part Of Africa.

made came true, as Folly Wisher bad

were riding headed for a village on the

downward.
They could see ssvages sleeping in the
shade Of trees and awnings, sleeping 20

"Oh, IL we have to come down among
those humans hope we come down In

Peggy to herself. This wish, like
others, was instantly granted. They
swooped into the top foliage of wide-
spreading tree. the nests fitting as
snugly among the branches as though
birds had built them there.
Below the savages slept on, but they
were soon to awaken. and when they
did, awaken, Peggy, Billy and Folly

midst Of a stirring adventure, as will
be told tomorrow.
