Residence Caught Fire
Early This Morning;
Origin of Blaze Is Un
known to Officials.
The Don Sargent home on the
corner of Third and Alain streets
was burned early this morning by
a fire of unknown origin. The
alarm wus turned In ut 3:45 by
h. J. Uonohue, next door neigh
bor, who tirst discovered the
bluzes pouring out the rear of thu
residence.
Air. Hargent was alone in the
hojse ut the time and was awak
ened by the smoke. He made his
way out to the street and rushed
to the ularm box but the call
had already been turned in und
the fire department arrived short
ly afterward. ,
The house was a frame dwelling
and the whole interior was u muss
of flame before the fire truck ar
rived ou the scene of uctlon. Hard
work on the part of the firemen
and u favorable wind which blew
the flames away from the sur
rounding dwellings were all that
kept the fire from spreading u
other property.
A Total Ixtes.
Although the walls und roof of
the house are still intact the In
terior and furnishings were com
pletely ruined und the . entire
property tr -hought to be u total
loss. ' . v
The fire started ut the rear of
the house, near the kitchen, from
un unknown cause.
The loss is partially covered by
insurance. No accurate check on
the loss can be made yet, but it
will probably be from 94,000 to
$5,000.

Appreciation for the Eve
ning Observer Cooking
School Expressed by La
urancie Ladies,
Appreciation for the cooking
school and a desire to have a big
ger und better event of the kind
next year, with, sessions devoted
to other household activities in
uddltion ' to cooking, were ex
pressed by various Iji Grunde
women attending. the school here
lust week. Criticisms und opinions
as to how It might be improved
were considered most valuable by
the publisher and will serve us h
guide in planning future, featured
of the kind for the community.
The school was staged free of
charge to ull who. wished to at
tend. More than a thousand worn
en registered during the flve-d ty
period. Attendance nrlzea valued
lut over $100 were given at the
various sessions and refreshments
were served on two nfteruoons.
Two hundred women were In
uttendunce on the lust afternoon,
Saturday, und witnessed a dem
onstration of cookies. The atten
dance prizes for the, duy were
u warded to Mrs. L. J. Hazclwood,
Mrs. II. 11. Cleaver, Ada Clarii,

C. A. Itlley, Mrs. C. H. Scranton.
Mrs. Leo la Peebler and Mrs, Kr
neat F. Wulden.
The Importance ' of universal
physical training was. stressed by
J. ' T. Longfellow, - superintendent
of La Grunde public schools, in
his first talk before a Lu Grande
audience at th.e Men's Forjm vt
ihe Methodist church, yesterday
morning.
Mr. Longfellow talked on the
subject '.'The. High School Curri
culum" und in the course or his
address covered many points of
interest. In speaking of uthlellcs.
he said that the need for physical
training for the masses was greut
er today than ever before.
He remarked that he was ve.-y
much in favor of athletic sports
but felt that these sports should
come us .the result of physical
training and not by devoting at
tention to but a few utura for
competitive guinea.
.Mr. J-ongfellow brought o Jt the
point (hut while many persons ure
accusing the schools of muklng
nthlctlcn a major iusue above stud
ies that this condition really did
not exist except In isolated in
stances. The impression pi-evalls,
suld the speaker, because the pub
lie is In clo3er contact with the
athletic activities of the schools.
Parents who give no thought to
the academic side of their chil
dren's education often make a
point or attending all the Xoot
ball. basketball and other gam-s
and thus urc inclined to feel tli:it
more attention has been given to
this form of activities.
Mr. Ixnigfellow spoke ut some
length, also, on the changes in
high school currlculums. A few
years ago, he said, the tendency
wus to liiuintutn the high schools
und academies merely ror t he
purpose or preparing students- Tor
colleges. But 10 per cent of the
high school students, on an uver
uge attend college, thus the ten
dency ut the present time is to
provide a vocatlonul training Tor
the 90 per' cent of the students
