MORE SCHOOL ROOM NEEDED
Board Will EnStaTor U Heet Request of
Pop'iofthe Wast End.
CONTRACTORS COME IN FOR A ROAST
Committee Recommends That In Fa
tare the Board Emptor Its Owl
Superintendent on All Con
tract Work.
At the meeting of the Board of Educa
tion last night a committee representing
the West End Improvement club waited
on the board and presented the needs of
that part of the city ror an aacmionai
school room. Thai;, additional school room
Is needed In the western part of the city,
the board admitted and after the matter had
been more or less fully discussed the com
mittee on buildings and grounds was in
structed to look Into the matter of erecting
an addition to one or the otHer of the
schools in that section and report to the
board the approximate cost of same. In
cluding steam heating plant, plumbing, eto.
In the event the committee decided that
the addition ought to be erected on the
Avenue B school, the committee Is to sub
mit an estimate of the cost of raising this
building.
No action was token with reference to
the request of the West End club that
seventh and eighth grades be established
In the Avenue B and Second avenue schools.
It was decided to close the schools Fri
day. In order that the teachers might at
tend the session of the Southwestern
Teachers' association.
The report of the committee on buildings
and grouds showed that 14,448.61 had been
expended during the summer vacation In
repairs and improvements on the different
school buildings. Much of this work was
done by day labor, under the supervision
of Superintendent Brewick, at a consider
able saving to the board.
Report on Contract Work.
Regarding contract work, the committee
made the following recommendation In
Its report: ; '
The school system of a city is a business
otganlsailon ot great magnitude and im
portance. No Intelligent citizen can view
with equanimity the waste of money raised
by mxaiion, wneiftr the waste is through
Uwhoneaty or bad business methods, even
if, in the end, the public be tairly well
served.
The directors, through committees, are
conducting Its business, as tar us It can
be dune, as a large manufacturing con
cern would do. By having a supervisor
of builuirigs and grounds it ia becoming
more and more the rule of the board to
have all Its repairs and Improvements
done by hiring Its own labor and buying
its own materials, seeing that It Is done
properly and . substantially, thus saving
not only the prollt that would go to the
contractor, but knowing it got when the
work was completed wnat it started out
to get. But In one respect the committee
believes that the board is , not satisfied
with results that have been attained. We
refer to the erectclon of our school build
ings. It Is well known to the board that
In this regard we have not received wljst
we contracted for. These additions in
volve ' considerable outlay,' and it Is es
sential that we receive what we con
tract for. Herein Ilea one of the greatest
criticisms that Is made against the man
' BCement of - school ana,lrs. . The ' tiMm.
bers of this board are well acquainted with
the shoddy work that the contractors en
deavored to have the board accept on
the Pierce street addition. The board de
clined to accept It, and it Was only after
months of delay that It was able to have
the work to conform to the specifications,
although not entirely satisfactory, when
it comes to a question of deciding as to
the quality of the work that has been
done er the materials that have been
used, when the specifications plainly call
for a better class of work, It has been the
experience of the board that the contractors
Invariably get the best of It. To remedy
this, the committee recommends that, In
the future. In erecting these new buildings
and additions, that the architects be em
ployed to draw up the plans and speci
fications only, and that the board hire a
competent superintendent to supervise the
construction of these buildings, to Inspect
the materials and see that the work Is
done according to the specifications. This
method may cost a little more, but we
believe that It would pay the district
to give It a trial.

Pica for Condemned Man.
Attorneys appeared before the supreme
court today and mads a plea for a trial
for Harry Hortman of Cherokee, under
sentence of death for the murder of Flor
ence Porter about' two years ago. He
was a rejected lover of the girl and
killed her while intoxicated. Hortman
was indicted and pleaded guilty ot the
homicide but did not specifically plead
guilty to any degree of murder. Judge
Wakefield took evidence to determine the
degree of guilt and decided that it was
a case deserving the death penalty. His
attorney claimed that privately the judge
hinted that the death penalty would not
be Inflicted on the defendant and sought
a new trial on the ground that the plea
was made under a misapprehension. This
Is the question which goes before the court
The time for hanging Hortman has passed,

Receiver Got Too Mnch.
The Iowa supreme court this morning
in a Linn county case refused to confirm
as reasonable an expense ot $4,100 in the
settlement of a receivership Involving col
lections amounting to $6,946. The Stearns
Paint Manufacturing company had a
claim against a Cedar Rapids firm and
secured the appointment of O. K, Olbaon,
manager of the paint company, as re
ceiver. He was getting fc!50 a month
while engaged as receiver, but cjalmed for
the receivership $375 a month pay for him
self, with $100 a month for a bookkeeper,
for four months and $300 attorney fee.
The lower oourt allowed him $300 a month
and the other claims as made. Today the
supreme court declared that $100 a month
was about right with $60 a month for a
bookkeeper, and modified the decree to
that extent on complaint ot a large num
ber of creditors other than the paint com
pany. Other decisions filed today:

RUBBERS IN BULK
Next time you buy a pair of rub
bers notice the way they come to you.
If they're the usual rubbers they
will probably be loose in a box or bin.
You ask for your size, and the sales
man hauls a pair out from the heap and
if they fit you,, they are bought.
But if they're Selz Royal Blue Rub
bers, each pair is packed by itself in a
neat box or carton; they are worth tak
ing care of beforehand; they deserve the
attention which good quality always de
serves. It's a small matter, apparently;
but like many small things, it means a
good deal.
You can get these better-than-usual
rubbers if you want them; ask for Selz
Rubbers; and if your dealer hasn't them
send to us.
