Dr. O'Brien, Osteopath, Miners' bank, 1 to 8 p. m. CUTS Jrlair at Is 22 School Controllers Find Need of New Building and Matter will be Discussed 8on. There can be no evidences of race suicide in this city, on the other hand a healthy increase in population Is noted, especially by the members of the board of school control, who find educational accommodations' too limited and are discussing the erec tion of a new building of possibly eight rooms to alleviate the crowded conditions of the other schools.

This matter has not ad yet become fully official as it has not been brought be fore the board of control as a body, but the members are discussing It in an earnest manner and it will in all likelihood be taken up at the October meeting. The largest increase in scholars is noted in. the districts of Lincoln and Washington, schools, on Defoe street, and Jefferson school, in Upper Pittston, the Fourth, Fifth Sixth and Seventh wards. The idea that is being discussed calls for school somewhere in the vicinity of Searle street or at some other con venient point in the locality that was once known as "Seneca field." The building in mind would be a brick structure of good dimensions con taining probably eight rooms, though there is some talk of having it only four rooms In size. A reforming nt the districts contained in the crowded wards would give the new building considerable territory from which to draw and there Is no doubt but it would be well filled.

The other schools of the city are filled but for the present their accommodations are considered large enough to meet the ALL DAY SERVICES Unique Programme Being Carried out in the Methodist Protestant Church Today. All day meetings are being held in the Methodist Protestant church, and a number of the pastors of this denomination are in attendance.
