When the new high school is built,
the present high school building
can be converted into a Junior High
School for the 7th and 9Th grade
department, leaving room in Central
Building for the second. third and
fourth grades which we should have
here. At present the pupils in these
grades have to go to the Ward
schools even though they may live

The School Board has seen the
need for a new high school building
and has already acquired a half
block as a site for the proposed new
high school building.
Since making out the last annual
report a new school building has
been built south Of the railroad. At
first only two rooms were construct
ed, but they Dor became crowded

hcer for tho school district also,
thereby enabling u to enforce the
compulsory attendance law.
The taking OF the school census
every April is a very important mat
ter and should be done with the
utmost care for the reason that our
state apportionment Of money Is
based on our school census. This
state money comes from the school
land income fund. and for this year
it amounted to approximately $1l.8O
per census child. It will be readily
seen that failure to secure a humid
red names for instance, which ought
to be on the census list, would mean
a loss of over a thousand dollars to
the school district. The censu TAX

tai of 1862 names.
9. Buildings and Grounds.
The enrolment figures given in
section 8 show that our school is
crowded. At present the seventh
and eighth grades are the most
crowded part of the school, the
high school being almost as badly
cramped for space. When the pupils

school it will be impossible to ac-
commodate them in the present
quarters. This near that in an
other year or within the next two
years at the latest it will be neces-
sary to have a new senior high
school building.
The high school auditorium now
accommodates almost as many pu.
pills as possible. During this year
We had to place another row OF
desks in the rear to take care OF
the new pupils that enrolled. II
many more seats are placed in the
auditorium we shall probably be
checked up by the fire commissioner
as 1t would render 1t dangerous In
case OF fire and 1t became necessary
to empty the building quickly. The
auditorium OF a public high school
should be large enough to accom-,
modate the public as we'll as the stu
dent body. We have had to use
folding chairs between the rows OF
desks whenever an entertainment
has been given In the high school.
Even SO we have been unable to
accommodate the crowd. For sew
eral Of our plays and entertainments
we have to rent the Strand Theater
at a cost OF $4,000 per night, which
is more than the school can afford
to pay. Moreover the stage Is in
adequate for plays and entertain
ments of any size. 1t is not equip
ped with stage accessories. scenery.
f%ootlights. etc.
The Commercial Department Is
extremely crowded. The only relief
that seems feasible for next year Is
to take out the glass partition in the
present commercial room and equip
the whole room for bookkeeping and
the other commercial subjects with
exception of typewriting. The teach
ers' rest room across the hall could
then be fitted up for typewriting.
This would necessitate getting an
other teacher. II that could be
done. 1t would be well to get an
other commercial teacher who could
supervise penmanship in the grades
as well as teaching the typewriting.

tSuch Was and Such Is the Part Played by the
German Magnates''
By JOSEPH cAILLAux, in current History Magazine.

~ ERMANY, naturally did not fail to take advantage of the
underlying difference in policy between the victorious powers
MI It confirmed her in the design which her captains Of industry
had conceived and imposed on the vacllating government, namely
to evade the payment of reparatons.
Germany before the war was a vast firm, an immense factory, if
one prefers that term, of which all the parts were closely welded
together. The mines, the factories Of Alace, Of Lorraine and Of Upper
Slesa, were incorporated in the edifce, which was supported by the
gigantic props called customs duties and especially by the trusts. The
enormous structure as bound to collapse whenever ne of its parts was
torn away, Or one Of its props damaged.
The great German industrial magnates have not understood, IT else
have not wished to understand, the significance of the defeat inflicted on
their country. Instead of reaching the conclusion that the force of cir
cumstances compelled them to establish German economic life O. the
basis Of formulas new to themb but similar to those of their Anglo
Saxon rivals, they undertook, Immediately after their defeat, to carry
out the designs that they had previously cherished, that is, to construct,
by artificial processes, an industrial system SO strong that it would be
able to crush the universe.
them? What did that matter? They could procure from foreign sources
the ire supplies that were indispensable. By means of great internal
works they would create economic conditions which would permit them
to transport their raw material at little expense, and also to replace
the factories they had lost.
But money, much money, would be required for all that. How could
they find it? By selling, in foreign markets, mark currency, a proceeding
which Professor Case, whom no one al tax with hatred of Germany,
has called "the most gigantic swindling operation that the world has
ever known" When one pursues such detectives and undertakes to use
all the resources of the nation to acquire mines in Austria, Sweden and
Chile, to deepen ports, to dig canals, one cannot dream of paying in
IDENTITIES to conqueros. Such was and such is the part played by the
German magnates.

Find Way to Obviate
ANNOYING Inductance

Those of us who have reached the
~half-century mark viii remember when
in the early days of the telephone we
used TO hear several parties talking at
the same time on one pair of wires.
In addition TO this, noises were heard
on the lines like the twittering of birds
and the frying of eggs. This was
called 'cross-taIk."
1t was a great mystery for some
time but was finally traced by experts
TO what Is called inductance. If you
place several wires in a cable. all we'll
insulated. and send a current of cleo
tricity through one Of them. it by some
mysterious process sets up a sort Of
sympathetic current in one OIL nor
of the other wires.
The engineers of the telephone com
panies discovered several Ways to
counterhalance this inductance. One
is hy twisting the wires into pairs

Two such coils are used. one as a

eff Someone Would Invent Solar Engine OF
Five Per Cent Efficiency"
By EDWIN +. sLossoN, in Science News Bulletin.

The greatest waste is our failure to utilize, not our carelessness in
methods of utilization. We waste so per cent of our petroleum through
irrational and competitive drilling. We waste two-thirds of our coal
before its energy gets into the engine. But we waste all of the sunshine
that falls upon our arid region lands, and that means a greater loss of
ENERGY than we get from all our oil and coal The richest region in the
United States is Death valley, California If some one would invent a
solar engine with a efficiency of even five per cent, it would add meal
culablv to the wealth Of the country through the utilization OF the
wasted sunbeams that fall upon our arid land.
Here is a prize bigger than any grasped by coal kings and oil mag
Mates But nobody comes forward to claim It, Yet very likely the
knowledge necessary to achieve this supreme triumph OF chemical
engineering is already in exitence-somewhere
If il is not, there is certainly enough brain-Power in the world to

Alaska Has Disclosed to an Astonished World
It's Wealth and Possibilities
By J. J. UNDERWOOD, in ALASKA, an Empire in the Making"

The years that have passed since Alaska came into the possession OF the
United States have disclosed to ar aTonished world its great wealth and
wonderful possibilities Its auriferous graves have yielded untold
treasure; its colonies of seal and other mammals have loaded the markets
with valuable and beautiful furs; its seas have given up their wealth OF
food fishes; its barren tundras have presented us the nucleus of the rein
deer industry and taught a lesson in the civilization OF savage tribes; Its
agricultural possibilities promise returns in excess of all expectations; It's
unmeasVred timber areas will furnish wood pulp and lumber long alter
other forests have been exhausted; and its undeved coal-mlnes suggest a
national opulence beyond the dreams of ayarice.
1t may sound like a wild dream to say that within a few years,
European immigrants, instead Of landing at New York, Will land on the
Pacific coast, to make productive the unoccuped areas OF land In the
West and in Alaska
But it is a dream that likely will come true, for Alaska ia capable
of raising every pound of beef, every sort OF vegetable, and every pound

Out of $50 100000 in loans made in Iowa and Illinois by the

six wears. One-crop farmers are the deepest sufferers now, because they
have not been able to take advantage of the new economics of modern farm
equipment. Ninety per cent of the borrowers among the farmers ar car
rving on in good shape. The farming business is not as bad as painted.
