subject to great personal disconl
fort during and following the storm.
The roof of their nome, the letter

had been soaked by the rain, and,
the only way they rested was by
sitting in damp chair with an
umbrella over tSfir heads.

Tuesday night. OF this number,
! 2,055 pupils are in the four gram
mar schools of the city, while 1923
are in the high school.
Four grades in the No. | school.
of which Mrs Florence Remnant is

time grades. according to the plans
which are being made.

plans to departmentaliZe the work
in the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades as much as possible
Teachers of those grades select the
subject they like best to teach, and
instruct in that subject only, NOV
ing from roonrto room in the build
ing
This plan makes a teacher a spe-
/ cialist in her one branch, and
makes it possible for her to teach
best that subject. 1t has been
| found to work very well in other
schools, and has been used in the
upper grades of the grammar
schools here.
The superintendent also plans to
call meeting of all Departmental
teachers from time to time, when
observations of the work they have
done will be made, that one grade
will not get too far ahead of the
other grades. The first of these
meetings will come in the very
near future.

A LITTLE BIT OF SHOE SENSE.

Why do people pick out certain
stores TO buy their shoes?
There must be little deeper
reason than just the goods you buy
for the price.
What is this reason?
Are the goods cheaper? Or more
stylish! Or better quality?
1t must be these three reasons
plus something little bit more.
That little bit more is just it.
People want quality, style, price,
fit. But, they want that real perso-
nal honey touch that pleases and
makes you want to return.
They tell me that this is one
store selling shoes that has built
up a business on all these reasons,

During 'scuffie", Police Recorder

berS to Be Told Details
of Proposed Building.
Committee Hears W. H. Rau
Nationally Known Organizer
Tells of Means to Finance
100000 HOstelry-WOuld
Have 100 Rooms.

Members of the Kiwanis club and
the Chamber of Commerce will
hear plans for a Community clue
hotel and auditorium, when they
meet again Tuesday and Wednes-
day, following meeting of spe-
cial committee from the Chamber
which was appointed TO investigate
into means which would bring Il
hotel here.
William J. Rau. nationally known
organizer, outlined plans for such
building when special commit
tee from the Chamber met in he
Council Chambers, Wednesday
night. A number Of prominent
members of the committee We're
present.
The hotel. according to plans
made by Mr.. Rau, would be financ-
ed by outside capital through a To-
cal Community Development Corpo-
ration, thereby relieving those in
terested in the project of the ne
cessity of using all available funds.
Mr.. Rau states that this city
could not successfully carry a $500.-
000 hotel by the ordinary method
OF financing, therefore necessitat-
ing an entirely new plan. The or
binary 100 room hotel would cost
half million dollars, and the cost
of rooms would have to be very
high in order to show profit at
the end of the year,
The financing difficulty would be
overcome by the Community Devel-
opment Corporation, composed Of
local residents, which would mar
ket certain lands, turning the prof
its into a hotel. They. in turn,
would share in the hotel profits.
I The bali room and lobby 6f fne
structure would be used to hold
meetings and social functions, and
also be common meeting place
for all civic affairs. This privilege
would be given for nominal month
ly dues. the same as would be col
lected by any fraternal organiza-
ton.
The hotel proposed is a three
story building of the Renaissance
type, with patio in front, and a
courtyard in the center. In this
courtyard will be found Venetian
pool which could be frozen over in
winter and used as an ice-skaling
rink.
A roof garden for summer and a
magnificent dining room, to accom-
modate dancers and diners, com
pletes plans.
