NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
Superintendent DuilIcV TftllS Why One
Should Br Built
City Superintendent (). V. Dudley,
who has labored faithfully tt bring
the Red Cloud schools up to the stand-
ard set by surrounding cities and has
,., - ,. . ...!.,... ,,. .
succeeded so far as it is within the
power of an individual to do so, has
the following to say concerning the
proposition for a new building:
"The board of education unanimous
ly decided to call for a vote, at the
April election, on the proposition t ! case, throe' grades under each teacher,
issue SM.O!)o bonds for the purchase of , ,ut UlJs ,H (1)0 Wy t,u. 1(JS ,m, ur.
site and the erection and furnishing rft (1 ,u ;,f flve m. hJx tL,.lch.
of a school building in the South...... ,,.,. P -.,..,.. ,,..,, ,
ward and also to place a heating plant '
in the North ward building.
"As to whether or not the bonds
carry rests now witli the voters. The
board of education has don all it can
ofllcially do.
"Many in the North ward have boon
ssatisHcd with half time for the Hrst
dissati
and second grades. The occasion is
now here for this condition to be alle
viated. The new building will cer-
tainly relieve the North ward, else the high school faculty with that of Su
born! proposition could not justly I perj01.: Superior has five teachers in
claim the North ward vote, for cer
tainly the North ward needs help as
greatly as the South. Rut the pro
posed building will benefit both wards,
as it should. As a prominent North (
ward patron remarked, some few days
ago: "The people of Red Cloud have
too much confidence in the board or '
... ,. ..
education to suppose they would erect
. .,,. , , J .,
ji omming as inr irom bin: ecu-1 ,( t lmve it . I here is nut one way
ter of population as is the old j to improve the high school: add at
building." Nor is there a man in t.ast one teacher to the present nuui
tlu South ward who would desire this. hmr Hitherto this has been impossi
With a building located within a reus-. hie. Three high school teachers are
onable dislaileft rtf -qhe ward line, it ni we.liow have l'oom for. Rut now
would be possible to transfer pupils
from one ward to the other without
objection on the part of anyone.
"One of the main results that can be
gained by building will be the con
centration of the teaching force. One
grade to each teacher is the end in
view. This will increase the teacher's
cilicieney to a great degree. Such a
train is a train to the community a
gain which no patron can afford to
overlook. i
"There is no patron in Red Cloud, in !
either ward, who should not vote for
the bonds, unless it would be someone
who would put at. naught many mod
em improvements to secure fresh air
constant, even temperature, and sani-
tation. We are greatly lacking in
these respects. Other cities of the size (
of Red Cloud enjoy them. Let us not
deceive ourselves by the delusion com
mon to every town and city that the
axis of the universe sticks out visiiuy
, ., , .. ii
doesn't. Red Cloud's schools are not
what they should be. The reason is '
not that we haven't good teachers, '
nor a sulllcient number, though we
are handicapped in this latter respect
in the high school. ,
"Refore plans are accepted the loca-,
tion of the high school is important,
Wilber, Neb., a city employing twelve
teachers, two years ago completed a
building at a cost of S'.'O.OOO. In this
building the high school occupies the
second floor, while below are Jive or
six grade rooms. We can do this also.
T Vand use the North ward building for
part of the grades. The great disad
vantage in tills case would lie tlie
same division of the teaching force
that is now troubling us a condition
that we can now remedy.
"We think tlie bc,st plan of all would
be to segregate the high school from muster Hacker's dog. and was known

"The seven remaining grades ami
the kindergarten could well be pro
vided Tor in the new building. Ry
this arrangement wo could attain some
very desirable features: A special
kindergarten teacher, which we al
ready have in the North ward; one
'4rrad'e for each teacher; the separation
of the high school mid eighth grade
from the grades that need recess; a
fairly uniform number of pupils under

Rev. William Ilauptmauu, and had

quietly and constantly he was study
ing conditions and learning tlie forma
tion of the surrounding country. It
is remembered now that he has been
in the habit of taking long walks in
the hills for exercise," he said, and
all this time ho has been getting in
formation, studying mining law, fa
miliarizing himself with mining in
general, until now lie is considered
one of the best informed men in the
district in matters pertaining to all
that interests miners. ,
"Rut the studies of Mr. Hanptmaiin
have not been merely academic. He.
formed valuable associations and now ,
he is fledged out as vice president and
chief counsel for the Khlorndo Mum
moth (iold Mining Company, corpora
tion owning excellent property in Kl- '
dorado canyon, and it is whispered by
the wise ones that the parson is on ,
the straight road to great wealth."
Frank II. (Jainel, who is soon to de
liver, in our city, his popular illustra
ted lecture. "The American Roy, His'
Pranks. Perils, and Possibilities," is.
considered by those who know him
best as peculiarly fitted to speak upon '
his chosen theme. He knows boys. '
For more than eighteen years he has
"lived among them" in a very special
sense. He has superintended boys'
clubs in some of tlie larger cities, has
been a successful pastor and Y. M. C.
A. secretary. He has had large ex
perience with boys of all classes, from
the homeless street gamin to tlie sons
of some of tin best families in the
hum. Mis keen sympathy, coupled
with his ability to remember the do-
"1'rs OI uu' ,l!,ys o lus own lioyliood,
win for him the eonlideneeof the boys
who know him. Hundreds of lads,
scattered all over the l'nitod States,
delight, to count upon him as a special
friend and advisor. College course,
