Public officials could find no way out of the dilemma. But Mrs. Wilmans did. The bungalow idea solved the problem. It will provide a center for social life for young schoolgirls and enable them to study domestic art as jif it were play.

Miss Mary O'Runnon of the Jefferson school, has evolved an idea for the benefit of ' the boys of her school. She purposes to organize the Jeffer- son Students' Improvement club. This will be a real juvenile improvement club, to work with the Jefferson Im- provement club, which is composed of men and women of the district. "We have not completed our plans." said Miss O'Bannon, "but we are sure to succeed. The object of the club will be to foster the spirit of good citizen- ship among the boys. They -will be admonished, for instance, not to deface fences or other property, to protect trees, to help care for streets and side- walks, and to think out benefits for their community."

The cost will bs $150,000, and with that expenditure the board expects to build a school that not only will meet all the requirements of present day teaching methods, but will have an architectural individuality that will make it one of the show places of the country. Many other schools for vari- ous parts of the city are being designed in Donovan's office, plans for which are being submitted In rapid succession to the board of education. All will ejibody unique ideas In school archiWcture and will rank as types of the highest form of design and equipment. The Emerson building will be of the mission style, of steel, concrete, tile and wood construction and one story in height except in the central section, where it will rise to two stories. Every room will be an outside room, and the whole affair can be .turned into an out- door school by a unique arrangement of windows. One set of rooms will face the streets, the other looking in- ward upon two large patios. Thus an abundance of light and air will be ob- tamed in every portion of the large building. The two patios will serve as play- grounds?one for boys and one for girls. In addition, an interior play- room, fitted up with apparatus, has leen planned for the inside of the building, to be used on rainy days. The patios will be 90 by 111 feet. Exclusive of the large assembly hall, there will be 33 rooms. Of these 20 will be classrooms. Arrangements have been made for domestic science, domestic art, kindergarten, medical room, library room, teachers' lunch- room, teachers' restroom, pupils' lunch- room and many other conveniences. A clubroom for pupils will he one of the features, and the assembly hall is of sufficient proportions to hold audiences for the largest school gatherings.

COOK LEARNS EVIL OF LENDING CASH Promise of Employment at Hotel Looked Good Until "Agent" Disappeared OAKLAND, Sept. 20.?When H. P. Gonsouland. a negro cook, was offered a trip to New Orleans and promised a good Job as a cook in the new Hotel Oakland when he returned, he thought E. C. Atkinson, his prospective em- ployer, was a good man to tie to. But when Atkinson vanished with $16 of Gonsouland's money, the latter changed his mind and he would like to see At- kinson in a cell. Atkinson has shaken the dust of Oakland from his feet. Gonsouland says that Atkinson, also a negro, represented himself as the agent of the hotel, authorized to hire cooks and waiters. He drew up and signed a contract with Gonsoulanri, by which the latter was to go to New Or- leans at the rate of $4.50 per diem, there to assist Atkinson in collecting help for the new hostelry. When they returned to Oakland Gon- souland was to have a good berth as cook at the hotel. No fee was asked for this, but Atkinson requested the loan of $16, which he. said he needed to bring his wife to this city from Eu- gene, Ore. Gonsouland advanced this sum and discovered today that Atkin- son had vanished. Simultaneously he ascertained that no negro would be em- ployed at the Hotel Oakland. He thinks he has been bunkoed and has requested the aid of the police. EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGED ? Oakland. S»pt. *_0. ?N. M.

It's the opening day. \u25a0 Come and stand on the summit of this charming knoll and look off over the salt and smiling waters of Lake Merritt towards the Hotel Oakland and the new City Hall. Come and look down from Haddon Hill on the green spaces "of Lake Shore Park and the broad curved boulevards that encircle the lake. Look off at the sparkling waters of the McElroy Fountain and into the cool and shaded depths of Sadler Park at your feet. You will say: "This is the most beautiful spo.t for a residence that I have ever seen." Then look around you and see the noble statue of a puma modeled by Arthur Putnam; look at the splendid flight of marble white steps, 140 feet in length, connecting two principal avenues; inspect the great 12-foot urns from the Sarsi studios, selected by Mr. Daniels, the landscape engineer; note that all wires in Haddon Hill are underground. And then glance towards the hills and see that Piedmont is nearly a mile farther away from the center of Oakland than Haddon Hill. Only then will you appreciate the splendid accessibility; the nearness by car or motor; while a study of the plat of Haddon Hill will show you that here is put in practice those modern and admirable principles of landscape art that make for the City Beautiful. To live in Haddon Hill will be not only a pleasure, but a distinction. Come and see it to-morrow.
