 ords of the number of pupils in each
 of the schools of the town. Many of the younger pupils are in the portable building in kensing- ton or in the basement of the Ken
 s,ngton Grammar school. During the past few days there has been un- bearable heat in these two places and it has been necessary to hold classes on the lawn or to dismiss the
 pupils for the day. This condition does not exist in the. Grammar school, due to the ventilation that is denied the pupils in the basement and in the portable building. !. Wootis-O'Connell

The people were gathered together in little settlements or towns merely for protection and not with the idea of building future and attractive cities. Beauty was not consciously achieved until Thomas Jefferson advocated it. Being an architect he believed that beauty as well as bare necessity could easily be expressed In . house or town. As a result of his efforts and beliefs we have his beautiful estate, Monticello, and the we'll -laid-out University of Virginia.
 Since that day the real value of beauty has been realized and now more attention is being paid to It. IL cannot be achieved however until the desire for it has first been in- stilled into the hearts of the towns people. They must have civic pride to make them willing to work for it.

 It Was As Follows:
 Tn the early part of the history of the United States beauty was not included in the daily regime of the people. At that time the people were obliged to spend their time strug- gling for a mere existence such as procuring food. shelter and clothing besides having to fight to protect themselves against the attacks of the natives. The crude houses and furniture were built only with an eye for usefulness and effectiveness of purpose. not for beauty and comfort.
