Possibilities of a School
DOrmitOry in Opheim

In 1922 there were twenty-five
dormitories in Montana. Although
the d0rmlfories increased very rapid
ly it was not until in 1923 that the
legislature legalized those already
established and authorized school
district trustees to provide addition
al dormitoTies where needed.
Dormitories are found to be sue
cessful iu places and unsuccessful in
other places. In the fall of 1925,
dormltory was started and sponsor
ed by one of the woman's clubs of
Glasgow The High school did not
have any part or responsibility in
the matter, This dormitory was
operated in connection with a public
rooming house and the pupils were
charged S18 per month and expect
ed to assist in some work, This did
not prove successful and ceased to
exist before the end of the year.
The people of Nashua and in the
surrounding community seem to be
very enthusiastic about the school
dormltory. On April 3, 1926. they
voted an extra ten mill levy for the
purpose of building gymnasium
and dormilory.
AT the present time they rent two
buildings, a dwelling place and a
store, in which they house nine
boys, thirteen girls and three teach
ers. The district pays the rent of
thirty-five dollars month and also
the fuel bill. The food cost, the
matrons salary Of seventy-five dol
lars per month and other expenses
are met by students. Each student
pays charge of fourieen dollars
per month, while teachers pay twen-
ty-tWo dollars month for board,
and six dollars for room. The food
costs approximately fifty cents per
day.
There are great many people
who are greatly against the dormi
tories as a place for children to stay
when they 60 TO school They think
the discipline is very poor and that
where there are group of children
care would not be given as in
homes. 1t has been found that no
one advocates the dormitory as a
substitute for the normal home, for
all recognize it is best for children
to be under care of their own par
ents, when possible. In a good
number of the schools of Montana
the dormitory is recognized as an
essential part of a school plant.
Fifty per cent of students attend
ing our high school could not get a
high school education if dormitory
Accommodations we're not provided
was stated by one of the high schools.
We had to establish a dormitory
because the population is widely
scattered in the surrounding rural
area and there are no houses into
which parents can move during the
school year was stated by another
high school. There are many peo-
pie who think their children do bet
ter work, when they stay at dormi-
tories BY comparing dormitories
that have seemed to be especially
successful in their UNDERTAKINGS,
there stand out number of factors
which seem to be responsible for
the general success of dormitorles.
Some are the study of the school
community to determine housing
needs and cooperation of parents
and school officials in the project.

Obituary

Jennie b. Gibson vas born at Rock
well, Iowa, on October 9Th. 1885, where
she resided until her marriage to Len G.
Zeidler, at Rockwell, on June 22nd. 1909.
She was a graduate of the Roc swell
schools and taught in the public schools
in the same city for several terms prior
to her marriage.
Immediately after her marriage, she
and Mr.. Zeidler went TO Dogden, North
Dakota, where they resided until August
of the same year, when they came to
Plentywood, where they have since
made their home.
Mrs. Zedler passed away very sudden
ly on the 18th day of February, 1928,
at her home. Unfortunately, no one
was in the house at the time. but her
death was unquestonably caused by
heart failure. She was found lying on
the basement floor by their children v hen
they came from school at noon Both
Doctor Robb and Doctor Campbell were
summoned but found life was extinct
and both agreed as to the cause of her
death.
Mrs. Zeidler leaves TO mourn her de-
parture. besides her bereaved husband
three children, Gibson, aged seventeen
years. Robert. aged fifteen years and
Barr, aged nine years, her father, Robert
Gibson, of Rockwell, Iowa, one brother,
Dennis Gibson, of Rockwell. four sisters,
Mrs. Winnie johnson. of Rockwell, Mrs.
Lou Geer, of Rockwell Mrs Gertie Say
lor. of Downey, California and Mrs,
Mertie Saylor. of Downey. California.
Mrs. Zeidler was charter member of
the First Congregational church, organ
lied in Plentywood in the fall of 1910, her
name appearing as the fourth name on
the list, and has been actively engaged
in church work all her life. She was the
clerk of the church board in Plentywood
for several years, and member of the
ladies aid society since its organization
and its president for many years. In ad-
dition Mrs Zeidler was member of the
hospital board of the Sheridan Memorial
Hospital for five consecutive years, hav-
ing resigned at a board meeting held the
night before he death. She was also q
member of the Plentywood school board
for three years.
1t is safe to say that no woman in Sher-
idan County has ever done more toward
the moral and social upbaildirg of the
community in which she resided than
has Jennie Zeidler, never turning deal
ear to one in need of sympathy or assis-
lance, never refusing to aid in carrying
out any worthy enterprise, never think
ing of herself, she went about all her life
serving others and doing good.
A wonderful, loving mother and wife,
a sincere friend and neiehbor, one whose
place can never be filled in this commu-
nifty. All of Sheridan County, yes more,
suffer the loss.
To her bereaved and heart. broken hus-
band and boys. to her aged father and
to her brother and sisters, a host of friends
extend their heartfelt sympathy.
Funeral services will be held at the Or
pheum Saturday morning at II O'Clock.

REVISED PLANS NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
 HERE THIS MONTH


 Adyices have been received by t.le Juneau School Board from Harlan Thomas, architect. that the latter is forwarding revised plans and specifications of the proposed new high school build ing, to the Board and he requests bids be open February 1.
 The advices did not state en which date the plans were being forwarded and were they sent yesterday on the steamer Admiral Watson it is probable the call fo' bids will be made February : 5. otherwise it will be necessary for the Board to ask for an extension of time to give local contractors an opportunity of entering bids. it was said today.
 The revised plans and specifl cations provide for the entire con struction of the outer walls in the original dimensions. with changes in interior construction within the budget allowed. Dr. Thomas, it was said, gave ar opinion that this method of cor- struction would be more satisfac- tory as it eliminates the necessity of building additions with the possibility of destroying the lines of the structure. The plans, it is said, provide that for the presen the interior need be completed only as funds permit.

When H~atio Alger wrote those popular tales of penniless youths attaining untold wealth by grit. persistence and sagacity. little did he realize they would parallel in real life the astounding career of Sylvester zeffarino Poli of New Haven. Conn.
 Recently the wires thrummed to the news that Poli- had disposed of his vast theatrical holdings throughout New England for sum said to be in the immediate neigh borhood of twenty three million dollars.
 What the wires didn't say. how ever. was that Poli came to Amer ica as an immigrant in 1881. de- serting his native town Of Lucca, Italy. for the land of opportunity.
 He started in as a modeler in clay and wax. Then the show mans urge swept over him. and he opened an exhibit somewhat along the lines of the famed Eden Musee, tr Chicago. Soon after. he ex- banded with branches in Toronto. Rochester and Staten Island. N. Y.
 From there. he started straight out theatrical work. revamping an old church in Troy. N. l.. into d playhouse. Then came his entry into New Haven. his institution of a musical hall in that city. and the real foundation for his suc-
