BUILDING PLANS FOR FRESH AIR SCHOOL 0. K.D Thco. Potter Institution, Costing $93,500, Will Be Model of Kind. BIBLE STUDY CREDIT Plan* for th* Theodor* Potter Fresh Air School, which will b on* of the most complete end carefully worked out schools of Its kind In tha United States, were approred by the board of school commissioners at Its regular meeting last night, and the architect, Herbert Foltz was Instructed to prepare working plans and specifications. Snider & Hots, engineers for the board, were directed tc draw up plans and specifications for the plumbing, beating and Tentllatlng The school, which will cost about $03.fiOO, will be located on the Tenth street side of Arsenal Technical High School grounds and will accommodate 120 children comfortably. It will be constructed with especial attention to the needs of children of poor health and of tubercular tendencies. There will be four classrooms, two large sleeping porches a playroom, nurses’ room, medical room, dining room, kitchen and shower baths in addition to the regular administrative offices. According to E. U. Graff superintendent of schools. It will be one of the best buildings of lta kind In the country. Mr. Graff twid that in most cities so-called fresh sir schools are often little more than regular school build lngs with windows left open, but the Potter school will be built solely with the aim of making It In fact as well a* In name a fresh air school. HAS ALREADY PROVED SUCCESS. For several years a school of this character hai been operated near the site selected for the new school and so great has been Its success In spite of tbe handicaps under which It has been conducted that the board decided to erect a structure adapted to the particular needs of pupils of poor health. As the demand for mors room arises It Is the Intention of the board not to enlarge the school, but to bntld others In different sections of the city. On recommendation of the Instruction committee, the State plan of giving credit In high schools for Bible study done outside of the school was adopted. There have been a number of petitions asking that this action be taken, presented to the board within the past few months. Mr. Graff explained that tbe plan Is snalagous to the one now used In the high schools of the city for the stndy of music. The actual stndy Is done outside tbe school, but tbe examinations are given In the schools, and not by the Bible teachers giving the course. SHORTRIDGE ATHLETIC FIELD IS FAVORED. Sbortridge High School seems to be well on Its way toward having the problem of an athletic practice field solved. The reqnes* of George Buck, principal of Shortrldge, that the board grant tbe Shortrldge Athletic Association permission to erect a field house 20 by 28 feet, on the north side high school site at Pennsylrania and Thirty-Fourth streets, was referred to the committee of buildings and grounds, but during the discussion that preceded tbe action practically every member of the board expressed an oplnlor favorable to the Idea. It Is understood that tb' board of park commissioners will co< ate with the athletic association In bu ling the field house which will be equip. and with lockers and shower baths. Heretofore

The use of Caleb Mills Hall was granted to the Colored Knights of Pythias for the night of July 23 for tbe presentation of “Damon and Pythias" for the benefit of the building fund of the lodge hall at Walnut street and Senate avenue. The letter requesting the use of the hall stated that the owing to the financial stringency the fiscal affairs pt the lodge were in a “precarious condition.” BIDDER TAKES RAP AT BOARD. Severe criticism of past action of the hoard was contained in a letter from the Johnson Service Company of Chicago, manufacturers of a temperature regulating device. The letter stated that the company desired to bid ou temperature regulation next Tuesday for Schools Nos. 57 and 73, and then added: “We think it tight, however, to advise you that we do not feel we have received fair consideration from your board ana engineers on previous work contracted for during the past year.” The letter then said that the company would not bid unless assured that It would be awarded the contract if It was the lowest bidder. During the discussion that followed Bert S. Gadd, board member, and Ralpn W. Douglass, business director, said that In th ~ast the Johnson product had been good but the service of the company amounted to nothing. W. D. Allison said that something should be done to establish real competition and pointed out that for some time past only one kind of temperture regulation has been used on new buildings. Finally Mr. Douglass was instructed to notify the Johnson Service Company that its bid would be welcomed. $3,000 FOR PLAYGROUND REPAIRS AND EXPERIMENTS.

A.

. and a portable Installed on the school i grounds. 1 SPECIAL SESSION FOB TUESDAY NIGHT. Last year Mr. Flack raised the rent from sls to S2O a month on the room and last uight the board received a letter ralslrtg It to $25. This aroused the wrath of Mr. Gadd. “Why he Is getting more now for that room than for the rest of the building,” he said, “and I am for giving It back to him." The matter of salaries for library employes which was deferred at the special meeting of the board last week was put over agaiu to give the finance committee and Mr. Douglass time to look into tee whole list. Charles E. Rush, librarian, _urged that some action be taken before July 1, but no definite date was set for taking up the matter. It was contended by Mr. Allison that now la the time to hold down expenses and not to increase them. He pointed out that all along the line there has been a steady tendency towards Increased salaries, and he said that In view of present conditions a salary of $2,000 a year Is In fact fully 15 per cent higher than the tame salary a year ago. Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewller contended that librarians are underpaid as compared to regular school teachers. “They are required to meet the same standard as teachers, they put In longer hours, but they draw less salary,” she said. Purchase of additional vacant ground for school purposes while real estate prices are low was advocated by Charles L. Barry and Mr. Gadd, and It is probable that a special meeting of the board will be called to consider this proposal sometime during the summer. A special meeting of the board will be held nsxt Tuesday evening to open bids on portable buildings and on engineering work for schools Nos. 67 and 73. The following apointments were announced by C.
