Pntsuant to a lesolutlon of the ho.ud

VU H-V VliVIl IJ IL 11 IllV-ll H HM li IU LIIW
fliullding committee The substance of
thu tepoit, which was piesentcd by Jlr.
Schilefer, was In substance as follows:
No 9 is an old sttuctute, heated by
stoes, the pipes of which allow smoko
and gas to escape. The building has
no pmvislon toi entilatlon, and the u li
lt contains is eiy toul, so foul that
pupils frequently go home .sick.
In No. 1 building tin sewer pipes
end at the llxtures they chain, Instead
of tunning up thtough the roof so as
to prevent all compression 01 accumu
lation of sewer nil. The traps are not
syphoned. The toilet moms are In the
basement and have but little light and
no emulation. In the toilet moms are
four Indirect ladlstors lor heating the
clnss looms, and not haling the fresh
air supply combined It Is fou' nflet
leaving the toilet moms
The watei closets ate ot the type
known as "Itange Washout," and in e
only suitable for a detached annex.
They are not entll.ited and an? made
of Iron, which is eeuiosle, and the
place is of thoroughly unsatiituiy 11I1
hotbent construction. The initials are of
the tiough pattern, without entilatlon
and have paitltlons without pnnlslon
foi being (lushed 01 cleaned.
Xo special pi oilskin exists for ie
mot ing foul air from the building, nnd
the odor of the toilet Is easily detected
lu the class looms, paitlcularl. those
known as Intermediate C and Pilmary
K.
SOME srCJOESTIOXS
We would suggest that the tolkt
looms be iciuodellcit, that the tloois,
glazed brick walls and sheet metal be
used In coustiuition, that new win
dows be nut In. the piesent one en-
laiged, that the iudlieet i.adiatots be
removed to one of the adjoining base
ment rooms, that the sewer pipe be
continued for ventilation through tin
roof, that blick all pipes be provided
for trup ventllat'on undei the base
nient sink and the wash basin- on the
first and second Hoots, that the tang,
closets be replaced with eatthern
syphon 1er closets, pioptily (quipped
with sanltniy appliances, that tho
initials be of the automatic flushing
type, propet ly trapped, that fnsh ab
be introduced and foul air lemoved by
proper ventilation of the toilet looms
fo that the air though changed bo
kept at an even temperatmo
Wo earnestly renin st our adoption
of the above recommendations, know.
Ing that at their completion you will
have toilet rooms whose in iterlal will
be perfectly non-absorbent In construc
tion, and the plumbing fixtures placed
therein, absolutely non-corrosive, all of
which vvp ery respectively FUbmlt to
your honorable body

Editor of The liibunc.
Sir The "Seml-c vtennlnl" of the
fiist, ginnd, old. histonw Presb terlan
churcli of Scianton has become an im
poitant part of histor. Important be
cause I believe that the good accom
plished by that chutch slnie Us oigan
Ization will be beard from in eternity,
when all the faithful shall have at
tained to that absolute rest and peace
In God thtough Jesus Chi 1st.
I should not feel satisfied to let such
a spiiltual. Intellectual nnel progres
sive epoch in the history of the church
go by without uttering a few senti
ments, for I have always found the
piembers of that church kind and gen
erous to my people. And then it was
at one ot their theological seminaries,
under such gtoat men as Drs Hodge,
Jacobus, Wilson and Ilornblower. I
found that the teaching of the church
Is "eveiy human being Is one, though
bis qualities are manifold." This one
Integial nature exhibits itself to us by
means of these manifold qunlltles.
They am not It, they are manifesta
tions of It. they are modes of Its ex
istence When, looking on the one side, we
find that the highest tenn that vve can
use is love, and on the other, vve look
at the beneficent working of tho forces
of the Intimate connection of every
soul with this hidden cause, so that
eveiy life touches It. comes forth from
it, and exists In It we find no word so
fitting as the vvoid love to expiess the
rtalltv of this relationship
Pach addt ess deliveicd at the semi
centennial Is full of Christian love and
far-maching. and In the language of
one of the speakeis let us lemember
"That all chinches have their origin
in the pi a or meeting, and it is equally
the fact, out of the pi ay or meeting
spt lugs the revival No church can
live without the pi aver meetfnir"

SIi While leaning the WIlkes-Baue
Record I noticed an ai title copied from
our paper In legard to a game of foot
ball which was to be plaed at Scran
ton on Nov. 24. The teams to contest
wen the St Thomas' college and the
WIlkes-Baue.
The article stated that some tele-
grams weie sent to the team ut Scian
ton and that I was the one to blame,
as being captain nnd manngci of the
Wllke.s-llarie team. This is not tiue,

I secured the date and ntranged for
the division of the gate lecelpts. They
had their own manager nnd captain,
and I believe Jlanager Coleman, of the
St. Thomas' college team, correspond

As the Seminary team was to play
at Bloomsbuig on thnt day. It was not
possible for me to play at Scianton,
and the team at Wllkes-Uarre under
