TIOX AAD mm TKALMSG AddreRses Made hy Ofndals and Other Vlsttors to the SehooL It is doubtful If another town in Kansas no larger than Carlyle has so Landsdme and well arrangea'and sub Btantially built a school bouse as that -which was completed last week and whose opening was formally celebrated yesterday. And certainly no other town is prouder of its school house, or has a right to be. The building was planned by aa Emporia architect who Introduced Into it the very lat- thought in the matter of arrange- meht, lighting, ventilation, and othcr -essentiai features. -It was built by James Overmeyer, of lola, and the commonest remark of those who see it for the first time and learn that it cost only 913,000 Is: "Well, thero was no graft in that building." It seems impossible Indeed that It could have been built at so low a cost. And maybe the sciaool board (the best school board there ever was the teachers say) and the teachers (the finest teachers there ever were, the school board say) and the pupils (the cleverest little rascals you ever saw.

the teachers and the school board say) arent proud of their new building! For a year or more they have been scattered about town. In the "opera house" and a store room and such like places, putting up with ail sorts of inconveniences. But now (bey are "at home" and they are as pleased and proud as it is possible for mere humanity to be. And so they a program for yesterday to celebrate great event It had been the Intention to have a sort of program especially' for the children in the attemoon and another more particularly for the flrdwn-ups in the evening.
