Forcing School Board to Rent Tern poraty Quarters—B o a r d Adopts Plan to Meet Situation. By Publicity Committee A serious situation, calling for proirpt and definite action, con¬ fronts the School Board of Nazareth as a result of the recent ultimatum by the State Department ofEducation at Harrisburg, condemning absol¬ utely the north wing of the present High School building, and placing on the Board sole responsibility for the continued use of this part of thrf building. New Quarters Needed This action on the part of the State compels the Board to abandon the north wing, which is in such dilapidated condition that cracks may be found in the wails and floors large enough to receive a man's foot, making the collapse of tne structure imminent; and, since Eufllcient room must be provided to bouse the school, it will be necessa'y to rent rooms somewhere in town intil the situation can be remedied. Such a condition of affairs will, ob¬ viously, cause much inconvenienc? and some hardship to the student body and faculty of the High School, and must be a bad reflection as long IB it exists on the town as a whoi; ind on those citizens who oppcsi in-provement. One of the greatest assets a t'jwn can have is a well-housed, up-t) date school system, and, convers-^iv, J town can scarcely have a darker 'jlot on Hs name than a badly-housed system of schools. The High Schoo particularly has become a very im¬ portant indicator of the progressivs- ness of a community, and Nazareth can ill afford to allow a blot of this kind to remain any longer than is absolutely necessary, for in this a^.^ a community which fails to show irogress cannot long conceal deoay. Inspection Invited In order that the true condition of the present High School building may be fully appreciated all citizens should avail themselves ol the .i, vitation of the Board to visit and inspect the building on North Broad street. It will be noted by the most casual observer that, in ad¬ dition to the structural weakness of the north wing, the entire building is about worn out and should not be used tor high school purposes. The narrow halls, steep sta' .ways (In violation of the present SLute law), low ceilings, lack of ventllatioi. and poor lighting condemn 'he jid structure; although It was once con¬ sidered an up-to-date school build¬ ing, it has served its purpos; and should give way to a moderi strac- lure designed to meet pveseat re- luirements. Remedy Suggested That this situation must bs lero edied as soon as possible is freely tdmitted, and the members of the School Board are workins hai d on he problem. For this year shift will be made by reutiuj; outsid.-' (uarters, but a plan should be idopted at once which can be made f^ff. etive a year hence; the interven¬ ing year will prove all too j! ort ii ;!'e start is delayed The Board has herefore iTsolved to .isK thj voiois ot Nazareth for permission to issue bonds to the amouu; of about ?115,000 tj cover the cos: of u now Rite and a new High School buildins erected thereon aud peMdii^ the dt cision ot the voters at the sepiera- ber electioii. au architect has b'.cn engaged to prepare plans aud esti¬ mates lor JO i'piroprla e builiii:.;-;. In order that the project may be clearly defined the Board lias an¬ nounced that, if the bond issue is authorized, it wiil purchase from the .V.oravian Congregation four acres of land situatea at the southeast 'orner of East Centre aud Fairview streets at a price to be set by three viewers appointed by the Court, and un his land it will erect a building designed to cost, with equipment and furniture, about $100,000. This plan has been carefully worked out by the Board and is I resented as the best possible solu¬ tion of the problem. The architects Messrs. Rasmussen and Wayland, of New York City, who specialize 1" the designing of school buildings, Viave given valuable expert advice md have drawn up plans for a building which will be modest in every way aud yet modern In arrangement and appointment. A large sketch of the proposed build¬ ing is now being prepared for ex- Mbltlon in town. Complete details )f the plan are available from the Board.

He had been in ill health for the past two or three months, but his illness had not prevented him from working. He arose early in the morning and seemed to be in fairly good spirits. About six o'clock he told his wife he was going to a farm¬ house a short distance away to get some milk. He had been gone quite some time when his wife, noticing that he did not take the milk pail with him, suspected that all was not well and started an investig¬ ation. About 7:20 she found the body hanging from a small nul- terry tree, with the knees resting on the ground. Calling to Ralph Long, who was passing by at the time, to assist her, she succeeded in cutting the body down. Dr Smock was called, and stated the man had been dead for quite some time.

Forcing School Board to Rent Tern poraty Quarters—B o a r d Adopts Plan to Meet Situation. By Publicity Committee A serious situation, calling for proirpt and definite action, con¬ fronts the School Board of Nazareth as a result of the recent ultimatum by the State Department ofEducation at Harrisburg, condemning absol¬ utely the north wing of the present High School building, and placing on the Board sole responsibility for the continued use of this part of thrf building. New Quarters Needed This action on the part of the State compels the Board to abandon the north wing, which is in such dilapidated condition that cracks may be found in the wails and floors large enough to receive a man's foot, making the collapse of tne structure imminent; and, since Eufllcient room must be provided to bouse the school, it will be necessa'y to rent rooms somewhere in town intil the situation can be remedied. Such a condition of affairs will, ob¬ viously, cause much inconvenienc? and some hardship to the student body and faculty of the High School, and must be a bad reflection as long IB it exists on the town as a whoi; ind on those citizens who oppcsi in-provement. One of the greatest assets a t'jwn can have is a well-housed, up-t) date school system, and, convers-^iv, J town can scarcely have a darker 'jlot on Hs name than a badly-housed system of schools. The High Schoo particularly has become a very im¬ portant indicator of the progressivs- ness of a community, and Nazareth can ill afford to allow a blot of this kind to remain any longer than is absolutely necessary, for in this a^.^ a community which fails to show irogress cannot long conceal deoay. Inspection Invited In order that the true condition of the present High School building may be fully appreciated all citizens should avail themselves ol the .i, vitation of the Board to visit and inspect the building on North Broad street. It will be noted by the most casual observer that, in ad¬ dition to the structural weakness of the north wing, the entire building is about worn out and should not be used tor high school purposes. The narrow halls, steep sta' .ways (In violation of the present SLute law), low ceilings, lack of ventllatioi. and poor lighting condemn 'he jid structure; although It was once con¬ sidered an up-to-date school build¬ ing, it has served its purpos; and should give way to a moderi strac- lure designed to meet pveseat re- luirements. Remedy Suggested That this situation must bs lero edied as soon as possible is freely tdmitted, and the members of the School Board are workins hai d on he problem. For this year shift will be made by reutiuj; outsid.-' (uarters, but a plan should be idopted at once which can be made f^ff. etive a year hence; the interven¬ ing year will prove all too j! ort ii ;!'e start is delayed The Board has herefore iTsolved to .isK thj voiois ot Nazareth for permission to issue bonds to the amouu; of about ?115,000 tj cover the cos: of u now Rite and a new High School buildins erected thereon aud peMdii^ the dt cision ot the voters at the sepiera- ber electioii. au architect has b'.cn engaged to prepare plans aud esti¬ mates lor JO i'piroprla e builiii:.;-;. In order that the project may be clearly defined the Board lias an¬ nounced that, if the bond issue is authorized, it wiil purchase from the .V.oravian Congregation four acres of land situatea at the southeast 'orner of East Centre aud Fairview streets at a price to be set by three viewers appointed by the Court, and un his land it will erect a building designed to cost, with equipment and furniture, about $100,000. This plan has been carefully worked out by the Board and is I resented as the best possible solu¬ tion of the problem. The architects Messrs. Rasmussen and Wayland, of New York City, who specialize 1" the designing of school buildings, Viave given valuable expert advice md have drawn up plans for a building which will be modest in every way aud yet modern In arrangement and appointment. A large sketch of the proposed build¬ ing is now being prepared for ex- Mbltlon in town. Complete details )f the plan are available from the Board.

HANGS HI.M8ELF ON S.MALL MUL/BERRY TREE Farmer Charles Saylor, Temporarily Insane Following Illness, Ends Life in Yai'd of Home Charles Saylor, aged 47 years, a farmer living in Cross Roads, Moore Township, committed suicide Sunday morning by hanging himself to a tree n^ar his home. He had been in ill health for the past two or three months, but his illness had not prevented him from working. He arose early in the morning and seemed to be in fairly good spirits. About six o'clock he told his wife he was going to a farm¬ house a short distance away to get some milk. He had been gone quite some time when his wife, noticing that he did not take the milk pail with him, suspected that all was not well and started an investig¬ ation. About 7:20 she found the body hanging from a small nul- terry tree, with the knees resting on the ground. Calling to Ralph Long, who was passing by at the time, to assist her, she succeeded in cutting the body down. Dr Smock was called, and stated the man had been dead for quite some time. It is thought that brooding over his condition was responsible for the man's rash act. He is survived by his widow and three children. Oue son, Harvey Saylor, resides at Fullerton. Sun¬ day morning the latter left on an automobile trip to Maryland. Cor¬ oner Walter J. Cathrali, of Bethle¬ hem, went to the scene Immediately and Monday utter concluding his official inquiry issued a certificate ot death due to suicide by hanging while temporarily insane. .41T0M01JILE I'.^HTIES Board of Education The regular monthly meeting at the School Board wag held in the Fairview School Building, Mondny evening, August 1st, 1921.
