Plant for the establish ireni of addi
tional hLffh schools In various parts of
the city are being considered by members
of the Board of Education. The advisa
bility of constructing a manual training
building Is also under consideration, but
f neither plan will result la immediate
action, as school funds are too low to
arrant further exoendlturea unless abso
lutely necessary.
When the addition to tho high school
Is complete 1.000 students can be accora
- modated at all-day work. Thar are now
"MM pupils In the high school. Double
shifts, teachers working but half a day
and pupils doing their , preparation at
home, hare relieved the situation, but
there Is some dissatisfaction with the ar
rangement. "Parents are constantly calling up,"
said Superintendent E. U. Graff, "and
asking us if we can't manage to have
their children prepare at least some of
their lessons at the school. This Is Im
possible under existing conditions. The
work is suffering of that there is so
doubt. Failures are more trequent than
they would be if students could prepare
their lessons at school."
Believes Central Seheol.
Superintendent Graff, however. Is not
an advocate of several small high schools.
but believes one or two centrally located
institutions are more serviceable. To
prorethis he points to the success at
tained in the larger dtles, where the high
schools are attended by from 1.80O to 1,500
thtldren.
Omaha High school students m many
Instances must go a long distance before
reaching school The street railway com
pany, however, has made special rates
fur them and it Is believed that there Is
mile objection to the present system on
account of distance.
James Richardson, member of the Board
of Education, believes another high
school would solve the problem, but as
chairman of the finance committee can
see no way to securing the necessary
funds. "We've got to face the question
some lime, aiu bf. iuviwuiuui uui
couldn't handle It now unless by
special levy." The school levy last year
was M mills and Is IS mills this year,

Furniture that has rich quality, beauty
of design, thorough workmanship and
once-in-a-year prices to recommend it
HE message of economy is always welcome in any home. In this January sale
we are sending out many of these messages, filed with economies that are
worthy the consideration of every home-furnisher. The one from our furni
ture regions bears a story of furniture that is sturdy in every part, honestly constructed
of true wood, and priced to the lowest point permitted, by, the policy of a store carrying
high character merchandise and selling it for a fair profit only.
It all is beautiful furniture too, stirring up the imagination, perhaps, so as to permit
one to picture the wood in its original state, out among the other majestic trees, being flayed
by the wind, consoled by the watery moon, and delighted by the melodies of the birds- Such
fine and beautiiul furniture deserves a place in the home of the most pretentious man. Tis
'the choice of the most able aa well as of the most modest, and is so priced as to he the marvel of the one and the blessing of the other.
