Improvement.
The mathematics and music and
art rooms besides being much too
small and sparingly equipped are
both located in the grade school.
This is another great disadvantage
that Of having the grade school and
the high school combined. They
should be in two entirely separate
buildings. Under the present ar
rangement annoying disturbances
which cannot be prevented occur at
various times
Furthermore, the indirect reasons
why we need a new high school
would sufficiently justify its being
built. For some time this city has
been growing very rapidly. More
people are coming here every day
seeking employment. homes and bus
mess locations. A majority of these
new citizens are bringing their fam
: lilies and children with them; more.
over they expect to find a good
school system here where they may
give their children the full benefits
of a good education. There are
other high schools in this State which
have ample accommodations and
equipment.
Before we may expect these people

danger of becoming imprisoned or
trampled under foot in case of fire.
Under the circumstances 1t was nee
essary to arrange the seats Just as
they are in order to utilize all the
space.
Much the same condition prevails
in the commercial department, on
the ground floor. This DON ia small
to begin with but Al 1t is divided
into two rooms by a glass partition
one can scarcely appreciate the
crowded working space. Further
more, it has been necessary to di-
vide the typewriting class into two
sections since the students in this
class outnumber the typewriting ma
chimes almost two to one.
Again the science and history
recitation room is down in the base
ment with very poor ventilation and
insufficient light, all Of which Is a
serious obstacle to doing good work.
Directly adjoining this room is the
science laboratory. Here exacting
work and absolutely correct compu-
tations must be made by every stu
dent in order that the experiments
will be successful, only a small per
cent of error being allowed. This
pei CeHl VI eIIOT Is BeueTdlly unueT
two per cent but some experiments
have been performed as many as five
times without obtaining satisfactory
results. This practical training in
the laboratory is quite expensive to
say the least, and since observational
error due to insufficient light makes
1t necessary to use about three times
The amount of chemicals required
this simply triples the expense to the
taxpayer.
still another disadvantage of the
laboratory is that the limited amount
of space does not permit individual
work, therefore each student does
not derive the full amount of bene-
fit from his experimental work in
the laboratory.
Many of the Rawlins people have
attended the basketball games held in
the high school gymnasium and are
familiar with the poor seating ar
rangements and cramped balcony

spectators do lot wish to stand or
sit in an uncomfortable position dur

on the basketball floor except Of
hcials and players. Due to the

stamp OF good citizenship is an in
terest in that which will do the most
good for his community whether he
derives any material compensation
or not.
At present 1t is hard to believe
that the citizens of Rawlins realize
the urgent iced for a new high
school building. There is no doubt
whatever that we now have a credit
able institution but 1t does not meet
the present requirements. A prac-
teal examination Of the building
now in use would easily convince
anyone of the necessity for a larger
and more commodious building.
A general review of the exact con-
ditions which both pupil and instruc-
tor attempt to obtain satisfactory re-
suits will illustrate clearly why
something must be done to relieve
the situation.
The assembly hall is a very good
example of the condition which pre-
walls throughout the school. At the
beginning of the school year all of
the students enrolled in our high
school could be accommodated COM
fortably. The seats were divided
into four sections according to class
es. instead of our enrolment de-
creasing as is common during the
progress of the school year, there has
been a constant increase far exceed
ing the accommodations our assem-
bly, hall and classrooms furnish. I'M
provised seats are arranged in the
rear aisle of the room or wherever
space afforded making 1t necessary
to disregard class divisions. This
o~ver-crowded condition has made
successful organization and manage
ment OF the student body a difficult
task.
The auditorium OF a public high
school should be a place large
enough to accommodate the public
as well as the student body itself
a place where all school entertain
ments could be presented without the
necessity OF renting other places.
The stage equipment OF the assembly
is very inadequate since there is only
n complete set of scenery and
stage settings. In addition to this
the acting space is very small it be-
Ing almost impossible to conduct
successfully even a practice or play
rehearsal on this stage.
There is a law which states that
there shall be a certain space re-
served as an aisle between each two
rows OF seats in a public building.
The seating arrangement in the as
sembly hardly comes within the law.

SON REFUSES TO WORK
EXCEPT At HOUSE TASKS

NEW FORK, Oct. 11-Dominic
Concan, aged twenty-five. of Yonk-
ers. was brought to Yonkers City
Court on summons by his father,
Patrick Concan. who charged that
he is SO fond of housework he will
not take .remunerative employment.
The father asked Judge Charles
w. Boote to order the son to find
employment so he will not have TO
support him. The son pleaded that
he does the Homework and thereby
earns a livelihood.
The judge told him he should
find something besides the duties
of a housewife to perform. The
son, to try to impress upon the
judge that he is not lazy, declared
that he plays a violin. which re-
quires some effort.

HINES DEFENDS CUTS
IN BUREAU OFFICES
Declares Medical or Training Fa-
cilities Have Not Been Sac
rifced by Curtailment.

Director Hines of the Veterans
Bureau In formal statement yester-
day. defended the curtailment of per-
sonnel in some. of the bureaus sub
district offices.
81 regret exceedingly" he said,
that the impression has been given
that the curtailment of personnel in
certain of our b-district offices was
accentuated by other than a desire
to provide the maximum of service
for our disabled veterans.
"A careful survey of the work Of
the district and sub-diStrict offices of
the bureau was made prior to any ad-
ministrative change.
This survey has led to a number of
readjustm ents. to the end that organ
izations will be maintained and in
creased If necessary where the needs
of the veterans warrant. On the
other hand, wherever this need does
not exist the service will be cur
tailed.
I'm no instance has the medical or
training facilities afforded veterans
been sacrificed. On the other hand
every administrative move has been
made in the direction of improving
the character Of service rendered"
approximately thirty-three subdis-
trict offices. the director added, have
been affected by personnel reductions
the changes resulting in an annaul
saving of s1,026,000. One subdistrict
office was abandoned entirely.

VOLSTEAD LAW BARS
RUM FROM KLONDIKE
British Ask Relief for Territory
Accessible Only Through Alas
kan Roads and Rivers.

The long reach of the Volstead law
which already has caused perturba-
tion in many other faraway places
on land and sea. now has brought
within its embrace the Klondike re-
gion of Canada.
AS a result. the British government
has appealed to Treasury officials for
relief for the British subjects there
and another complication has been
added to the international controversy
over features of the law which are
held abroad to restrict the rights OF
foreign nationals.
Penned off in a little corner Of the
north which has no practicable means
Of communication with the outside
world except along the roads. canals
and rivers of Alaska. the residents OF
the klondike have found these ave-
nues of approach completely barred
to liquor shipments. The Canadian
government, which exercises a mn
nopoly over liquor importations into
the district, advised the home gov
ernment at London as soon as this
situation revealed itself. with the re-
suit that there have been several con
ferences here between American and
British representatives.
Thus far the Treasury has found
no way to grant the relief requested
holding that d former treaty granting
ITedt bflldln lHe TlSnl TO transport
certain goods across American soil in
bond has been set aside by prohibit
ton laws.
One of the two routes to the sea
from the klondike traverses only a
fifteen-mi strip of American terri
tory, lying between the port of Skag-
way and the Canadian border, but
this narrow stretch forms as effectual
legal barrier to liquor shipments as
If it had the breadth of continent
The other route, up the Yukon, lies

WOMAN GOES FREE
In DEATH OF BABY
Noted Temperance Worker Tried in
Staying of Child Born to
Unwed Daughter.

BY the Associa ted Press
LANSING, Mich. June 2f.-The con-
viction of Mrs. Matte Kirby, prom
inent Hudson, Mich. temperance
worker, on a charge Of manslauehter
in connection with the supposed
death of an infant born to her unwed
daughter, was set aside by the state
supreme court today.
Five of the eight members of the
court voted for reversal of the con-
v1ction on the grounds that the corpus
deficit of the dead child never had
been established, that it never had
been proved the child is dead norsthat
Its supposed death was occasioned by
criminal means
The majority report called for dis
missal of Mrs. Kirby.
Today's ruling closes a case that at
tracted with. interest. Records of the
case show child was born to her
daughter Alice July 4, 1921. Several
hours later the child disappeared and
complaints were lodged with the au-
thorities. The state contended Mrs
Kirby had either killed the infant or
permitted it to die to protect her
daughters name. Her conviction in
circuit court on manslaughter
charge followed.
