I hatf gfown no rapidly that the
vfitst-' school'1 building had
ho:naoi anywhere else
How did they do it?
Easy enough: These live
wires went into their pocjrets
made up the necessary build
ing fund and loaned it to the
school board I3y making
every dollar of this borrowed
fund do a full dollar's worth
of construction in- the work of
building the Stilwell school

building and one ot vthe best
hetee the pupi's were scatter-

partment here one there and
so bn But Prof Rcnick was
resourceful and showed hirr-
sdf a'n organizer and before
the ending of the first term
found himself in new quarters

corps of teachers and henct
their work is more efficient and
far reaching than before
