 An erroneous impression was ere ated by an item published last week to the effect that papers of dissolu- ton had been filed by the Ideal Ma chinery Co. The dissolution was merely of the corporations: the fac tory has not been sold and will not shut down, but will continue as in the past except that 1t will not be q corporation.

The belief that 1t is not the place
of the principal of the high school
to determine where a new school
building shall be located if one Is
built, and that it is a questionable
procedure to attempt to do so by
influencing the parents through their
children who are students at the
school, was expressed by a promi-
nent and influential citizen, when
interviewed Monday night by a
Journal reporter. This expression
of opinion was apropos the rather
pointed remarks of Principal Everett
v. Perkins at a special program
assembly at Cony High last Friday
morning.
The gentleman in question re-
viewed the history of the school and
touched upon the fact that the Will
liams interests had done much for
the school since it was founded. He
stated that in his opinion it seemed
an ungrateful move to attempt to
take by right of eminent domain a
portion of the estate, which had in
the past shown its interest in the
school in a material way.
He characterized the recent speech
by Principal Perkins at Cony High
as an attempt to "rejuvenate" the
movement brought up at the last
school meeting, to seize the land

Modern Apparatus
Recently Installed
At Engraving Plant

Recent improvements in their
plant, designed to facilitate the work
of making line-cuts and half tohes,
have been made by, the Augusta En-
craving Co. and are nearly complet-
ed. The company has nearly dou-
bled it's floor space and has added
other machinery calculated to speed
UP production without sacrificing the
quality of their cuts.
The addition of more floor space
has made it possible to rearrange the
apparatus necessary for the making
Of these cuts SO that the workmen
have a better opportunity to carry
out their duties. Another engravers
camera, which has recently been set
up and will shortly be in operation.
will materially help in the prelim-
mary work of making the engrav-
ings. One camera will be used for
the making Of copper half tones and
the other will be used for zinc line
cuts. Another dark room will be
constructed, which with the one now
in use will give ample facilities for
two operators to work without in
terfering with each other.
An charging camera capable of
making Photographic enlargments of
SOOu olLO WILL dAcO DC q pdlI vi thS
equipment of the plant. This will be
available for use where 1t is thought
that better cuts can be made from an
enlargement than from a contact
print. The addition of this camera
also, with the other cameras that are
in use will enable the men at the
plant to take picture of any article
which might be brought to the shop
and produce a cut from that picture.
This service will be found Of particu-
lar help to those who desire cuts of
small articles which they have for
sale.
The plant as 1t is now arranged
consists Of five large rooms, one
which will be used for the heating
apparatus and for the installation of
the charging camera, another for the
two engraving cameras and the at
tached dark rooms. the third room
for the stripping and printing pro-
cess. the fourth for the etching and
machine room, and the last for the
proof room.

TAKES EXCEPTIONS TO RECENT
REMARKS BY HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL ON new BUILDING

across Stone street from Cony High,
for the erection of a new building
and which at that time was voted
down by the citizens.
With regard to the acquisition of
Capitol Park several years ago for
the purpose, 1t was understood, of
building a junior high school, the
citizen spoke briefly, declaring that
the school authorities had, he sup
posed, looked the matter over care
fully before they bought. What was
planned for that land he could not
say, but he thought that something
should be done with it before new
land is acquired.
The belief was expressed that,
properly handled, Cony High would
at it's present location have sufficient
land for any buildings it would need
in the future, although grading the
athletic field as was done had made
this more difficult than it would have
been before the work was carried
out. The athletic field should be
located farther up the hill short
distance from the school buildings,
he declared, and cited the cases OF
several schools and colleges where
the athletic field was situated a
, short distance from the buildings
rather than adjacent to them.
Although admitting that he had
not made a minute investigation OF
the conditions at the present time
he stated that he was fairly familiar
with them, and that he felt there
might be some way of dividing the
student body and having recitation
periods for one half of the students
during the forenoon, and for the
other half in the afternoon, as has
been done in other places. This he
felt of course would be a temporary
shift until such time as any needed
additional Accommodations might be
provided. but thought that it might
solve the problem for the time be-
! ing.
He also felt that with conditions
as they were declared to be, 1t might
have been better to have retained
the one session a day plan, rather
than to adopt the two session plan
as was recently done. Concluding.
he declared that he hoped to see
statements by others who were in
terested in the high school, in order
that some plan might be suggested
that would help to bring this matter
to head.
