The directors in session last evening were evidently disappointed over declination of the county commissioners to grant a second session of appeal. Virtually driven to action by the desperate need for more school space the board will still seek an assessment satisfactory as equal ized and possibly high enough to se cure borrowing capacity. mat Juniata can use 2i more school rooms to advantage was last evening the opinion of R.

D. Elder, president of the board and that "The sky is the limit in taxation if we can't borrow money to was an ominous suggestion that appeared to express the sentiment of the board. Mr. Elder and Secretary F. W.

Bathgate were appointed to take first steps to-svard an assessment revision, with the following- points in mind. Juniata must, have a new. school building. The new assessed valuation is of low ratio to actual property value and does not provide a sufficient margin of borrowing capacity. To secure a building fund in whole or part by direct taxation would be unfair because alleged inequalities of assessment would be magnified in a raising of the millage a of the horse that pulls."

12. Three scholarships for next year's ice cream maker's short course at the Pennsylvania State callege are already assured as a result of the action of the class which just finished this year's course, according to W. H. Martin, in charge of dairy manufacturing work at the college. Following the precedent set by the "Micro-Organisms," a club formed by dairy supply salesmen who attended a similar course last summer, the 30 students of this winter's course, who call themselves the "Serum Solids," voted at their closing banquet to furnish a scholarship for a deserving young man engaged in ice cream making in Pennsylvania.

One of the men present then offered to provide an additional scholarship for the two week's course. Since the "Micro-Organisms'' have voted to make their scholarship an annual award, three students in the 1926 ice cream short course are as good as enrolled.
