to enlarge the Fountain building at
the present time. 1t is not advisable
from an architectural standpoint. The
play grounds are filled to capacity by
the number OF pupils now in atten-
dance.
Tho best method of relieving the
present congested condition is to en-
large Park View SO that the Fountain
school may be relieved OF the Fifth
Grade and the sixth Grade pupils now
coming from that school. This VIII

rooms to the Fountain building. The
benefits of having even one more room
in Fountain are many. 1t would re-
lieve the present congestion In the
Fifth Grade which next year will be
stu worse. 1t will permit the arrang-
Ing OF an increased number of classes
in sewing. 1t will permit the small

N0RTHSDE SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TO GO
AHEAD WITH PLANS FOR new BUILDINGS

Tho school board OF District No. !,
has decided to go ahead with plans for
increasing the school facilities of the
north side. The conditions in the dis
trict have shown that additional school
rooms are necessary and tho sentiment
of the patrons OF tho schools is such
that they believe the people will agree
to the needed improvements.
The plan approved by the board pro-
vides for the erection of sixteen room
grade school on the ground already
owned by the district at Sixteenth
street and Grand avenue. This building
will take care of the Annex children
and relieve the crowded condition at
Somerlid. Irving, Hinsdale and khe
high school.
At Park View an additional unit will
be built to take care of children in
that district up to and including the
sixth grade. This will relieve the
crowded condition at Fountain and
Bradford as well as at Park View. The
board directed Superintendent J. H.
Risley and Secretary G. G. Robertson
to make preliminary estimates as to
the amount OF money that will be re-
quired in order to determine the size
OF the bond issue that must be voted
by the tax payers. A rough estimate
shows that 5000. 900 (two hundred thou
sand dollars) will be needed This
amount could be handled by the dis
trict without hardship on the tax pay
er An issue of that size bearing 6k
per cent interest and payable In thirty
years Will require levy Of only 5s
cents per thousand dollars assessed

this is n critical time for Pueblo and
that the only way to keep from going
backward is to go forward and that
II would be a poor policy to let the
schools OF the city suffer.
In order that the patrons of the
schools may know the actual condi-
tons in the schools and the difficulties

and tho greater part of the play ground
lies to north of the building where It
gets practically no sun. and as re-
suit Is Of no value TO us at all during
the winter months. The school board
rented several lots south OF the high
school for play ground purposes,
part OF which has been sold. This has
proved to be Impractical because OF the
distance the children must 20 ana the
short period allowed for recess
This accentuated the problem for
recesses. making it necessary for US to
dismiss al different periods to enable
children to get driaks and go to the
basement since we have only one
drinking fountain with three faucets
and ton toilets. Even with this plan it
Is impossible to keep the children off
the streets. with street cars passing
and especially automobiles we feel
very much relieved when the day has
passed with no accidents from this
source.
1. has been impossible for the boys
and girls OF this building to participate
in athletics and games OF the district
until this year. We are now allowed
the use Of the gymnasium at odd times
which has given our boys and girls
the opportunity for organized play:
but they can not play baseball in a
gymnasium and you know what that
game means to our American boys
outdoor recreation IS essential to all
boys and girls.
The kindergarten room Is the only
possible room that We can use In our
basement, room OF this sort is never
desirable at its best. but the girls toi-

room. the windows are on a level with

we can give that room Is to take part

dren of tho Fourth Grade must use

The south side of the building is
walled in for cloak rooms. The only time
the sun has an opportunity to enter
the building is for about ons hour in
the morning In one room on the cast
side. The upstairs room on tho east
side Is on a level with most OF tho
chimneys in the rest OF tho block. Two
| of the rooms in the high school are di-
rectly over a machine used in automo-
bile work in the shops. the vibration
caused by this machine is NEST dis
trcssing to the children and teachers.

grades to have the same dismissals and

The boys Of the building must go
eight blocks for Manual Training.
Think of the loss of time. Tho girls
sew in the basement. We are eucroach-
ling upon the rights OF tho high school
by taking rooms from them which are
needed. that the high school too may
grow.
Looking forward to next year, II is
imperative that We have at least two

st. Paul, February 3.-Cfties and
villages of Minnesota, outside the twin
cities and Duluth, are entitled to re-
Inducements from the state highway
fund for construction costs of the nor
NAL width of trunk highways through
such municipalities.
This decision was handed down to-
day by the state supreme court In re-
versing the Waseca county district
court and a ruling of Clifford l.: Hill
ton, states attorney general. Judge
Oscar HaHam wrote the decision.
1t is specifically ruled that Minnea-
polls, St Paul and Duluth will not be
entitled to reimbursements for high
way construction on trunk highways
running through those cities.
Only cities and villages entitled to
reimbursement from the counties will
be benefited, it was said at the at
torney generals office. Waseca, &C
cording to the decision, has claim for
reimbursements of $20,867; Litchfeld,
$67, $40 and Albert Lea, $49,944. At the
highway department it was said that
Anoka, Harrington, Luverne, Spring
Valley, Worthington, Alexandra, Red
wood Falls, Marshall, Crookston, Tracy
st. James, Madelia, and about ten
other cities and village probably would
be entitled to reimbursements.
At the offices of the state highway
commission it was said that the decis-
ion will not interfere with the build
ing program. How much will be in
volved in the reimbursements out of
the state funds to municipalities could
not be estimated

cent of children. who have been exam

teeth and are in need of proper dental
attention. The medical profession today
all over the world is recognizing as never
before the great per cent of disease that
is caused by bad teeth. The teeth were
placed at the gateway or inlet to the
human body to adequately provide their
very first of the vital processes which
go within the human body of converting
the food we eat into muscle. bone, brain
and Drawn. With dirty. decayed, dis
eased, broken missing teeth we can no
more except to properly chew or grind
our food than a miller with dirty. broken
or defective millStoneS could be EXPECTED
to properly grind his corn or wheat.
There are great natural differences in
teeth, but whether teeth be good or poor,
they must not be neglected. Care will
make up for many natural diiciences.
Following are some of the reasons why
they should receive such care.
Neglected teeth look bad. Nothing in
lures the personal appearance more than
bad teeth. Therefore everything pos
sible ought to be done to make them look
well. They cause indigestion. Without
teeth the food cannot be properly masti-
Gated. insufficient chewing leads to in
digestion and the body being poorly nour-
ished is more susceptible to, disease
Healthy teeth mean efficiency because
of their relation to good health, good
breathing and good fortune. Good health
can never be secured while bad or use
less teeth are left in the mouth. De-
cayed teeth always send poison into the
body which may cause headache, make
one tire easily or may lead to heart dis
ease, pneumonia, kidney trouble and
many other diseases. Visit the dentist
at regular intervals to keep teeth from
decaying. Watch and save the six year
molars, so-called because they appear at
the age of six years. They are the first
OF the permanent set to appear. and are
most important. Brushing the teeth
every day should become regular part
of the child's daily life. just as putting
on his shoes in the morning and taking
them off at night is. Ninety-seven per
cent of school children have bad teeth

The following letter from M. H.
Coe, county club leader, was read:
"Mr. j. c. NARROW, Secretary, Blue
Earth County Holstein Association,
Mankato, Minnesota Dear Mr.. Mar
low: Owing to conflict in dates
which / am unable to change ! am
unable to be present at your meeting
today, but may / take this means of
expressing to you and through you to
the Blue Earth County Holstein
Breeders association our ueep appre-
citation for their splendid cooperation
extended to us during the past year.
1t has been source of great encour-
agement to the calf club and we real
ize that our efforts could have counted
for but little without the cooperation
of the breeders.
'In the Holstein calf club during
heifers, thirty four of these being
purebreds. The showing That these
heifers made at the end Of the season
proved that the calf club work is a
wise movement and that it Is destin-
ed to have a far reaching effect upon
the future of the holstein business.
The first prize heifer raised by Milton
TTlwe of Amboy is certainly a credit
to the county and to the breed and
the same is true of all the Their heif.
ers raised by these boys and girls. 1t
Is a pleasure to note the interest OF
your association in these young
breeders and the encouragement you
have given them by awarding the four
silver cups to the winners. If you will
take note of these young people, / am
sure that you will realize that they
have made a real achieven<nt and
that perhaps the biggest result Of all
is not only the rs}5ing of good heifers
but rather the training of these boys
and girls as real citizens of the flu
ture. =,
with these things in mind, it would
seem strictly logical that the calf club
work should occupy one of the pro-
minent places in the program OF work
of your association for the coming
year. / can think of nothing that will
mean more to the holstein business
or to the BOYS and girls than to have
the real sympathetic interest and
whole hearted cooperation OF the
breeders of the county in their work.
We hope to make bigger and better
,holstein calf club this year and trust
that the holstein breeders OF the
county both individually and as an
association viii be willing and anxious
to extend to us the same brand of en-
couragement and help which meant so
much to the success of the work dur
ing the past year. Yours very truly,
