Department of Industrial relations
ooBcerntng the safety of th* tfew
echool building. a,
An Inspection wss made oa January
M by two of the state Inspectors sad
-they pronnoaneed the building to be
la Srst class shape.
Rumors to tbe effect tbat the bluld-
lng Is unsafe bave been circulated snd
a greet many people have beea mislead, in order to correctly Inform the
public, Mr. Powers sad the school
board have written the following article. Mr. T. P. Kearna' letter Is also
on flle at the school building which Is
ample proof that there Is no question
hat whst Amherst hss one of the best
schools la the state.
The hoard ot education's message
la ss follows:
--The erection of a fine new building
to meet the aeeds of the growth of the
•shoots Is aa achlvement of which say
community may well be proud. It
Indicates a hesltby lntereat la tho development of those things which make
for the general good.
Far as to Insert st this Ume—a time
when the aew building Is almost complete—aa article stating negatively
aome of the flne points of the new
building is a little out of the ordinary.
It seeme however, that aa article ot
this sort Is necessary la view of the
tact that a number of misunderstandings bave arisen sad beea given circulation regarding the building.
At the .request of the Board ot Education, two inspectors have been seat
oat tram the State Department. They
report aet only that there Is ao danger of defective workmanship or plan-
9S99 m> say part of the building, hat
that tha baUdlag Is a very -Uae one.

any tbat amy tear be made apoa It la
tha matter of architecture.
"The Columbus offlce spoke la the
highest terms of the work of oar architect, Mr. BiUsbee. Tbey took ap la
detail each complaint that had been
made regarding the building aad found
that ta all but one case there was no
aeed even of msklag sny farther report. The building checked ap with
plana which hss been gone over care-
tally by tbem and approved long before the local construction work wss
started.
"To show ths thoroughness of the
inspectors work and the excellence
of the building, a report covering one
Item ot the Job is appended. It will
ba aoted that the structural work ts
strong beyond all possibility ot over-
"We hope before long ta be able to
dedicate a aew building at Amherst
and to call attention at that time te
some ot the feeatres of the aew building which we think are very flne. As
stated early ta this article, this te a
sort of-a negative report planned to
pat to reet any misgivings regarding
the building from a structural standpoint. As ihe chief of the Department
said, 'You have a very flne building.'"

attend.
composer und organist addressed the
anil lance, concluding with these words:
"We must all regret, my dear Dupre,
the absence from our mldat of the one
whose name Is foremost in our
thougbta today—the grent Bach himself—and rest assured, it he had been
here, he would have embrased you and
pressed you to hts heart."
This unparaled achlvement won for
Dupre the title "The finest organist
of his time."
Those fortunate enough to hesr Dupre ut his New York debut last sea-
sou recall the amazement created by
his Improvisation of a complete symphony In foru movements on themea
submitted but a few momenta before.
Mr. Dupre will repeat this feat at his
Berea concert, with members of the
Northern Ohio Chapter of American
fiulld of Organists furnishing themes
for two of the movements and the Conservatory faculty, the theme for the
remaining two movements. Thia event
will undoubtedly be the biggeat musical affair ever held at Berea.

tickets for the Dupre coucert, and a
lurge delegation of Amherst people
are plautilng to attend this recital.
