May Ask for a School Baliding.
There je a possibility that the resi-
dents living along the Spring Mills
pike and those near by will petition
the Potter township school board to
erect an additional school house in the
eastern portion of the township. The
school code places many restrictions
on school boards when it comes to
purchasing school grounds and erect-
ing a school house.
Bectlon 604 provides that school
boards may determine the location
and smount of real estate required for
& new school site, bat no new school
building shall be erected without a
proper | play-ground being provided
therefore,
Bection 615 provides for plans for
both new snd reconstructed school
buildings to be passed on by the State
Board of Education.
Bection 618 provides that all school
buildings hereafter built or rebuilt
shall comply with the following con-
ditions:
In every school room the total light
area must equal at least twanty per
centum of the flor space, and the
light shall not be admitted thereto
from the front of seated pupils.
Every school room shall have not
less than fifteen square feet of floor
space, and not less thai two hundred
cubic feet of air space per pupil.

This huge canvas was provided with

A. C. Benson tells the story in “Ti

“1 have often thought that the
man that ever Wweut up in a ball

Some one laughed und sald, “What
an extraordinary idea!”
“I don't know,” sald Kingsley, "A

be inspired with a tremendous desir

Coxwell leaned forward and. said
very good humoredly, “Well, Mr

Why Dean Swift Didn't Go to Ascot.
Dean Swift was the earliest man of
note to make mention of the histori
Ascot race meeting. It 18 in one of
his “Letters to Stella” in August, 1711.
that the great Jonathan says he “saw
a place they have made for a famous
horse race tomorrow, when the queen
will come.” But being “tired with rid-
ing a trotting, mettlesome horse a
dozen miles, having not been on horse
back this twelvemonth,” Swift deter
mined “not to go to the race unless 1
can get room in some coach.” As he
was hindered by a caller all the
coaches were filled before he could
reach one, and as a consequence the
world lost the description of that
earilest Ascot that only the author
of “Gulliver's Travels” could have
penned. — London Spectator.
