Program Confined Largely to Discus-*
sion of New School Building.
The school auditorium was comfi:rt- •
ably filled Monday evening by pat^oim
of the district, who had turned out to
listen to the program which had aa
its object the discussion of the subject
of a new school building.
The Community Choir treated the
audience to two splendid numbers.
After the preliminary business session of the P. T. A. Mrs. C. F. Fitzgerald gave her sound views of the
situation and the remedy, she fepre- ;
senting the association as its president.
Responding for The Banker, Carl
A. Curtiss reminded us that years
ago when sidewalks of wood were the
vogue, taxpayei's were horrified at
the prospect of cement being used for
such work on account of the extra
expense involved, although the walks
were to be only four feet wide and
four inches deep; "now we have a cement ribbon four to five times as wide
and more than twice as deep for our
autos to use that stretches from New
York to San Francisco, and taxpayers
pay for it cheerfully. We must keep
pace with progress.
The Editor said he thinks we should
have a new school building, and now;
that ,the old, structure is a fire-t;rap
and has" outlived its usefulness; that
the ones who complain the loudest
against the cost of a new one are
those most abundantly able to pay
their share.
A Business Man, O. C. Wheeler,
stated he did not believe it would
pay to try to repair or remodel the
old building; he took us back to the
old log cabin days and up to the present in such a way as to be convincing
that the world do move and that
what was good enough for our grandfathers does not suffice for this century's needs.
J. W. Hull reminisced, and told of
the   struggle   required   to  build   the
present structure, the delays in getting he people to vote for the bonds,
and the rate of interest paid on them
—ten  per   cent  for  a  great  many
years.    He favors such a building as
the community needs, and now.
•     A. D. Crittenden cited how one of
the   chief   objectors   to   the   Lincoln
Consolidated school has become one
of its  chief boosters,  because of its
usefulness   as   a   community   center,
and gave good reasons why we should
not delay procuring a suitable school
building.
1     A Realtor, W. M. Fowler,  told of
how proud the people must have felt
. of the present building when it was
i erected, for it certainly represented
I the last word in such construction in
; those   days, and  felt  that  all of  us
! would be just as proud of the new
; one to replace it if we can but per-
j suade the people to erect it.
One of the Faculty, Miss Mary Mor-
den, told of some of the shortcomings
of the present structure and is heartily in favor, of a new one.
A Farmer, William A. Austin, stated that two of his children had graduated here, and that while he had no
more to send he knew he and his
family -would thoroughly enjoy coming in to the school auditorium to
participate in or attend events held
therein; that he realizes we need a
new building and hoped we'd secure
one. 4g
A Farm Woman, fMrs. William
Hart, told of present high taxes and
tlie struggle farmers are having in
meeting them; compared the tax rate
liere with other places, and stated
that Milan's new school building did
not cost as much as the one proposed
for Saline, which resulted in considerable good natured discussion.
Our Physicians, Doctor Woodbridge
and Doctor Wallace, favor a new
building' and do not favor trying
to re*-ir>«?el or enlarge the old one;
to r-nn**■•'t-f or cuarge the old one.;
*t xt 4. -.?w structure would mean
much t«.i the | resent and future of
the. viiUige in its continued growth
and p- t^tige.
A Club Woman, Mrs. W. E. Dietiker, spoke enthusiastically for a new
building.
A Mother, Mrs. E. A. Clark, cited
an instance where temporary relief
had been tried to stave off building
a new school which proved anything
but satisfactory; she would like to see
the school equipped to teach manual
training and domestic science for the
benefit of the pupils, something that
cannot be* attempted under present
conditions.
An Alumnus, Leigh Townsend of
Tpsilanti, being a* contractor and
builder, was reluctant to say very
inuch, but he did advise not to try
fto remodel thej old building and advised having .a strictly fire-proof
school if *we should build.
| A Taxpayer, tTaeob Smith, said that
ffle probably wasn't *kny keener to pay
fiigh taxes than anyone else, but that
lie is progressive enough to want to
live where where t&ere is a suitable
school building and quite willing to
pay his share pf the expense in securing and maintaining one.
fMr. fFrye, of the firm of Frye and
fKasurin, architects, explained the
difference in the two plans displayed
on the stage, one of which was voted
down and the other which will be
submitted by the board at an early
date. The smaller plan can be made
to serve acceptably for some years to
come ana will cost about $25,000 less
than the one recently voted on.
ANpAL MEETING OF
. .'». ,    flJFSHfftXES" BREEDERS
"Will Be Held in Ann Arbor on Saturday, March 2.
The county Jersey Breeders are
making plans for the annual meeting
of their association Saturday, March
2. They will serve a banquet dinner
to the members, and are arranging
an especially interesting program for
the afternoon. One of the features of
the meeting will be a two-reel motion picture, "Builders of an Empire."
This shows the part agriculture has
played in the creation of the nation,
and sketches a swift panorama of interesting events, many of which are
sacred memories cherished by a generation now fast passing away. The
picture will portray the days of the
covered wagon, and the restless immigrants who toiled down the dusty
sunset trails to the "line" where the
run was to start into the Indian lands
just opening for settlement.
It shows the hardships Of those settlers who erected sod huts, and labored with crude tools on virgin plains,
creating the food supply which made
possible the development of great
cities. It portrays the dawn of the
new day when the primitive methods
of the adventurers yielded to the marvelous machinery those men of the
cities developed, and to the scientific
discoveries born in government laboratories, taught by agricultural colleges, and applied through the efforts
of organized agriculture.
This epoch story reflects the long
and glorious history of American agriculture. It also contains an interesting love story which winds in and
out of the episodes like the melody
of some sweet song.
The committee from the Jersey
Breeders making the arrangements
for this meeting are: E. C. Simonds,
president, Ypsilanti township; C. D.
Finkbeiner, secretary, Saline township; George Cooper, Ann Arbor
township, and James Craig, Scio
township.
tion with a Biblical drama or picture. Here are some interesting data
concerning them'.
Pontius Pilate, Roman procurator
of Judea, used the palace of Herod
during his stay in the Holy City, and
there held his Court of Justice. It
was just inside the Joppa Gate, on ths
western marge of Jerusalem.
Caiaphas, High Priest and ruler of
Jewry, held court in the Hall of the
Sahhedrin, which was in the Temple.
A passageway from it open'ed into the
House of Caiaphas, which adjoined
one of the Temple structures.

of the Roman ruler is' shown on a

of Rome. Not less interesting is the
Court of Caiaphas, with its many
grand views of the abode and sway
of the Heirarcli.
