STATE ARCHITECT
SETSS62,O57 COST
TO REPAIR SCHOOLS
Five Gallatin County Schools in
Center of Seismic Disturbance
Were Heavily Damaged by
TemblOrs.
Manhattan and Three Forks
Suffered Most Heavily
From Earthquake

Repairs to schOOlhOuses at
Manhattan, Three Forks, Logan
and Willow Creek, damaged by
the recent earthquake, will cost
$62,O57, according to a report
made by State Architect r. c.
Hugenin, after a survey made
this week
This expense is for putting the
buildings in shape for occupancy on
ly, and does not include cost of re-
decorating. The following figures
were made on the various buildings:
Willow Greek school, S1,271.
Three Forks school, $18,868.
Manhattan grade school, S13,998.
Manhattan high school, S19,492.
Logan school, $6,628.
Cost of handling, S1,800.
These figures apply only to the
schools. Other public and private
buildings damaged by the earth
shocks were not included in the re-
port.
Willow Greek and Logan suffered
comparatively little damage.
At Three Forks the walls of the
school building were shaken ana
cracked, several feet falling from the
top on each side. It is estimated that
it will cost $18,868 to repair the
damage.
Manhattan Hard Hit.
Both schOclhouses at Manhattan
were badly wrecked. The grade
school, one end of which was practi-
cally demolished, will cost $13,998 to
/ repair and the new Community high
school, one of the finest buildings Of
the kind in the state, is damaged to
the extent of SIS, ,492.
At Manhattan, as at Three Forks,
many business blocks were badly
damaged, chimneys were demolished,
windows broken, and other damage
done by the temblors.
While the damage is not as heavy
as was at first estimated, it entails
heavy loss upon the people of the
district most affected.
State to Aid Schools.
The school districts in the quake
zone are unable financially to raise
funds to make necessary repairs IN
time for the opening Of school this
fall.
Adelegation of GaIlatin valley peO-
ole visited Helena last week for the
purpose of securing financial assist
ance from the state, if possible. This
twas found to be impraeticable, but
Governor Erickson will issue aprocla-
nation calling upon the people Of the
state to contribute money for the
purpose.
, In his talk here Tuesday at the
luncheon at which he was one Of the
guests Of honor, Governor Erickson
said:
The States Problem.
4The restoration Of these school
, buildings is and rightly should
be the business Of all the peo-
/, pie Of Montana. The earthquake
, might have hit any community in
, the state. Our people demand
proper educational facilities for
--.-Our children and they should alE
help these unfortunate cOmmuni-
ties in repairing the damage SO
that the buildings may be used

was q musical scholar and con.
ductor pre-eminent in the Ukraine,
received from him their initial
lessons IN music.
When they made their first tour
of Ruesia at an incredibly. early
age, the premature development Of
their fine faculties, and the really
extraordinary %brilliance of their
work made their name a household
word. They achieved succes with
out parallel in the musical history
of their country. and then, encour-
aged by the highest praise OF critics,
spheres to conquer.
Since 1901 they have ranged
every quarter of the globe, and
have been acknowledged in i've con.
tinents as belonging to the first rank
of executive artists. In Germany,
Austria, England, the United States,
Canada twhere they were natural
tied as British subjects on the first
Of May. 19a2l. Australia. New Zea.
Japan. and South America, they
have mustered a vast following OF
enthusiasts.
In 1906 they delighted London as
infant p~rodlgies; in 1917. on their
second visit. an ap~preciative press
proclaimed that they had m1re than
fulhfied the promise Of their child
hood. And now, childhood and boy
hood both passed By, they have
justified even the rosiest expecta-
tons.
The most striking feature OF the
Cherniavskys work is that three
powerful and temperamental artists,
all individuals, should appear TO
such perfection as u trio. Each one
is the exact complement Of the other
two. There could not be greater
understanding, sympathy, and unity
of purpose than exists between
these brohters.
Musical genius is unavialing I'm
less allied TO patience and perse-
verence. The artistic feeling II the
cherniavskys Was inhorn; their
huency. skill, and mathematical pre-
eision were acquired through hard
and continuous study together. often
extending into the smap hours OF
the morning. even in their boyhood.
