Design Of the new Audubon
grade school, contract for which
was let last night, has been in
keeping with the residential char
acter Of the community ind all
sides Of the building. which 10 ll5x
l52 feet, will be equally pleasing.
Principal entrance faces Eigh-
teenth avenue, although there will
be entrances on all sides OF the
square. A semi-circular walk
leads to the Eighteenth avenue en-
trance, and in center OF this walk
will be 60-foot flagpole.
The school building will be two
stories high. with 20 rooms. The
boiler room addition IL 26x53 feet.
Following design of the more re-
cent Rock Island schools. base
ment has been eliminated from the
Audubon building. Thirteen class
rooms, library, two lunch rooms,
principals office, teachers room
and combination auditorium-gym-
nasium are included. Triple
arched logia marks the principal
entrance and departure from the
frequent factory-type of window
construction in schools, and is i'm

On west side OF the first floor are
two primary rooms, each with sep
arate toilet rooms, and direct en-
trance from the street. Four grade
rooms are on this floor, too, and
on the east side is the library. The
principals office is to left of the

PORTUGUESE CRISIS

Lisbon.-A rate of exchange
alarmingly low and prices of food
stuffs exorbitantly high have con-
spired to make the cost Of living
in Portugal a serious problem.

factor cannot be overlooked.
Several highly placed state func-
tiOnaries have been arrested and

the holding of secret meetings,
which is an indication OF an under

attributes the increasing fall in ex-
change. The minister Of finance is
trying to raise IN internal loan and
has had conferences with several
OF the most prominent Portuguese
bankers to this end. His efforts
have not 20 far been successful.
One Of the factors said to con-

U! S. GOVERNMENT
TO CHART UNKNOWN
DEPTHS OF OCEAN

Philadelphia.-Two former mine
sweepers, turning from the pur-
suits of war to those Of peace and
science, are being remodeled In
Delaware river shipyards. and are
nearly ready to weigh anchor to
start on an Indefinitely long cruise
in the Pacific ocean for the United
States coast and geodetic survey.
They are steamers Pioneer and
Discoverer, formerly the AUX and
the Osprey, which saw service in
the North Sea. Now they are to be
equipped with the finest scientific
instruments for sounding and sur
veying.
Some time during the summer
they are to pass through the Pan
ANA canal and proceed up the Pa
cific coast to Alaska to sound and
survey unchartered territory.
Contrary to general belief, it was
said, there still remains much un-
chartered territory in that region,
and many places show channels in
correctly marked and sounded
Also some places once correctly
surveyed and sounded, have been
altered by the constant action OF
, the waves.
Eleven officers and So men have
been enlisted to man each vessel
and with the exception OF the two
commanding officers the crews
have been selected.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS
NOT SO uLITER.ATE
AS REPRESENTED

Kamn.-The Russian peasant,
upon intimate contact, has been
found to be not so illiterate or so
stupid as it has been the habit to
represent him. While he may not
always be able to read, he possesses
q natural shrewdness and intelli-
gence which stand him in good
stead. A practical common sense
is often a good substitute for book
learning.
American relief administration
workers have had much to do with
the Russian peasant in their vari-
Gus activities in these lands, and
have come to regard him with re-
spect.
How is it," one of the Russian
interpreters was asked. that al
though these peasants cannot read
and write they seem to be able to
make accurate computations, and
to master the intricacies of the
Russian currency? They seem to
understand perfectly even the new
bank notes IN which those marked
100 rubles equal those put out last
year which were worth 100000. T"
They appreciate the value of
stupidity" was the answer "They
like to appear simple, more simple
than they are 1t is partly a pose
with them, but it has its practical
side, too. They appear guileless
and manage to drive a good bar
gain because their very guileless-
ness allays the suspicion of the
person with whom they are deal
ing.
Il hand them a 100000 ruble
note. What is this?' they ask. /
tell them that it is a million. They
accept it. but try handing them a
100000 ruble note and say that it is
. million. They will shake their
heads. You may point out that it
has many ciphers following the fig
ure. They will not accept it, But,
you persist, you cannot read, why
do you think / am living to you: ?
But ! have never seen that sort Of
a million before they answer and
they will not take it.
You take paper to a peasant
to be signed. He looks at it and
asks what 1t 10 all about. You read
1t to him. He mods bat protests
that he cannot write. Let someone
else write my name on it, he says
and later he may repudiate the
agreement, saying that he never
signed It and did not know what it
contained.
~ believe that many Of them Who
can both read and write are care
ful to conceal that knowledge, be-
lieging that it will be to their cd
vantsSe to do %. They are not 10
stupid q they appear"

auditorium floor. They are so
situated that they may serve for
either gymnasium or stage pur-
poses. The boiler room IL north Of
the stage.
Seven class rooms are. located on
the second floor with boys and
girls lunchr0om. Each class room
IL equipped with disappearing door
type Of wardrobes for pupils,
wardrobe for teacher and book
cases.
The building was designed by
Ceryin & Horn, architects, for fu-
ture expansion and Is rooms may
be added to the structure without
conflicting with appearance of the
structure.
Heating and -ventilating system
successfully introduced in the
Washington building will be utiliz-
ed in this structure.
A system of time clocks and au-
tomato bell ringers and telephone
system connecting the class rooms
with the principals office is to be
installed. All class room floors
will be OF maple, corriuor Iioors
and toilet and dressing room floors
will be of terrazzo. All class rooms
will have a glazed brick base, and
the auditorium will have a wains-
cot of glazed brick about IL feet
high, with plaster above.
The entire construction Of the
building will be fireproof, all the
main building being of reinforced
concrete and the auditorium roof
of steel with gypsum slabs. Exter-
Tor will be Of high grade brick with
Bedford stone trim.
The location of the class room is
especially fortunate in that there
will be sunlight in each class room
at some time during the day.
The two-story type of building
has been recognized as an ideal
structure. Combining as 1t does
many of the advantages of the one
story type without occupying so
great a ground area nor entailing
so great a cost.
