...with a flat roof upon which some day another section can be built. The parents got to work painting it, digging ditches, doing all the odd jobs that remained. Last fortnight was dedicated the second unit of Hessian Hills' new plant, a wing containing an auditorium, music room, shower baths and locker rooms. Half of the $12,000 that this cost was given by Manhattan Philanthropist George Dupont Pratt in memory of his wife whose name it bears, the rest by friends of the school.

The cut throat competition of small independent mines demands of owners a drastic economy even in prosperous times. When conditions are poor and orders scarce that need is even more pressing. Wages must be cut if the mines are to operate at all; and then as always, the present impasse develops...
