CHlLDREN'S HOME BOYS
 TO COMPLETE POOL
Looking Forward to Final Touches on Outdoor Tank and Planning
 Athletic Field.

Although the city has it's usual quota of grip and other ailments gen. orally attributed to winter weather. so well cared for have the children in the Children's home been this winter that Rev. Dr. John F.. Klingburg re- ports not single case of sickness on the hill.
 The youngsters are having good times indoors and arc induging in some winter sports. although, because of the danger, they are not permitted to coast on the hill.
 As soon as the weather becomes milder work on constructing the swimming pool will he resumed. The proposed pool is the result of an agreement made between Rev. Dr. Klingberg and the boys of the insti- tuition. The agreement was that if the boys did the digging for the swimming pool, the institution would finance the concreting. The idea was in line with the theory of training children to work for what they get.
 The proposition was hailed with enthusiasm by the youngsters Picks and shovels and wheelbarrows were pressed into service last summer and when the winter frosts came along the excavation was practically com pleted. This summer the boys will reap the rewards of their industry by having q cool place in which to splash and learn to swim during the hot weather. Incidentally tho girls will have set aside certain times when they too will indulge in aquatic sports
 Another thing towards which the boys are looking with considerable glee and anticipation is a proposed athletic field with baseball diamond "n everything" which will be con structed before vacation time.
 A number of boys and girls will leave the home to make their own way in the world following graduation at the local high school this spring.
