'9‘ William Frederick Bigelow in an editorial in Good. _H°use- lteeping magazine which We quote ‘here: \-‘-We are going to enlarge the scope of our appeal? for Child- ren’-s Book Week to ‘urge parents to do more reading themselves that they not only suggest good» books for their children, but widen their own horizons. The actual compass «of any life is -small; in most of our town; land. cities it is elarmingly so. What the towns and cities lack can ‘be found in books. ‘If parents fid-it there. they make it iensier for their children to hunt for it in the same place. There is e lboolrfor evrey mood, 1.1! one cares for booing; -one can journey the world aroundby merely tofing to the library or ‘the book store. The signific- ance of this is lost vupon too «many parents otherwise there would benoeneed for Child- 1_‘€.n'§ 3001!, Week. We believe’ in the xyeek, just as believe in bread ad butter.

Have you a table Snread for him, where he may be trained up in that from which he will not depart when he is i0l¢‘i—the habit of reading books?!’ ‘ The question of construcing a school in the =Fo_urth Ward‘ ‘will probably ebenthe important business at the next meeting of the Sc‘hoo'l Board, as the need of a Grammar school in this section of the City is growing greater each year.' Congestion in, Franklin, Wil- son and Roosevelt schools, which are now accommodatinc Grammar School pupils of the Fourth Ward would be relieved through the erection of a build. ing in the district. ‘ Sometime_ ;ago the Board went on record to apply for Federal funds for the erection of the contemplated building, but the sec of ojitious upon a site was necessary ‘be- fore applicatgion could ‘be made for the loan.

Heavy winter nice and snow which swept the city \-I‘uesd4ay~ were the direct cause of the sudden death of Thom- as, Decker, 555, .94 Lincoln ‘Street. _ Decker, -an. employee «of the Bethlehem Steel Covpoxzation, was stricken while walking along Hamburg Tux’-nipike‘ on his wa~y—to work.

While the school ‘cannot be erected without a vote of the taxpayers, the Board wishes first to see if they can secure goverment aid before calling for a vote and the present ‘plans and cost ofla site must be placed‘ ‘before the Federal Board for approval. This, the Board believes, is an apportune time for the con- _at_ruction of the school, as. -Federal aid can be secured, it -would save the taxpayers at least 30 per cent of the cost. ’ With his wife, Mary in Our Lady of Victory hospital as the result of}: beating she alleges he {rave her, Mike Pavich, 420 Wesson Avnue, wgs_qrrested- and held on a. aeeond degree (‘assault charge Tueeday.
