Schumacher is author of an article on depreciation stud ies in the February pamphlet on technical valuation pub' lished by the American Ap praisers Society. "Depreciation when applied to real estate improvements will apply only to the individ ual property, and will vary as to age, maintenance, use, utility, design, hazards, bene fits and economic changes," Schumacher pointed out. In the article, the Jackson county assessor explains the difficulties m making an ap praisal and considering de preciation. He defines such factors as age obsolescence and physical deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence. Depreciation is loss in dol lar value from new to current age and condition. Past de preciation is not percentage and future depreciation is not annuity, Schumacher said. School News Miss-Sizes 9, 11, 13, 15, 17. Size 13 takes 2Y& yards 39 inch fabric.

Bruce Matheny of R u c h school visited the 6M class Thursday. Matheny is inter ested in the science reading research program. The fourth class in this program began at 8:10 a.m. Monday, Mrs; Angela Thompson's fourth grade class presented a play entitled, "A Family in Space," to the PTA and- the student body recently. The theme of the play cen tered around a classroom sit uation, and the guest speaker, Professor Stellar. The profes sor, played by Ron Havniear, directed the situation while the various planets gave their own presentation of their im portance to the solar system. Also of importance was the role of the Sun, played by James Mercer, and Charlie Comet, portrayed by Terry Witter. The production was in the Jackson school auditorium. The stage was decorated with a large picture of a space ship, and the back wall was covered with a mural of the planets scaled in relation to the size of the sphere. The students had a good time preparing the production as well as learning a great deal from the study of the script. All children in the room participated. Miss Edna Smith from West Side visited the three second grades Friday. Neil G. My niece refuses to move to a boarding school. Irene S, - I'm not a delin quent and no trouble to him. . Neil G. - This is a sordid tale, involving my headstrong sister who died at 35 after three marriages. I'm only 28 but the social agency has given me temporary custody of my sister's only child, Irene, who's 14 and the prod uct of her first marriage. I'm unmarried, not exact ly qualified to watch over an adolescent girl in my small apartment. Her natural father has abandoned her, and my sister's subsequent husbands have no interest in her wel fare. Irene knows that her stay in my. home is only a make shift, until an application for her admission to a residential shelter is processed. But she clings to me, and refuses to show up for the medical exams. Irene S. - There's nothing the matter with me, so I don't see why I must live in an institution with delinquents and addicts. All I need is a home and someone who cares about me. I have that with Uncle Neil. Since my mother's death, the agency and the guidance teacher at school have been trying to "place" me, but nothing worked out until now. First I lived with a step sister, then with a foster fam ily. Each time something went wrong, like my step sister getting engaged, or the foster parents fighting. My schoolwork is at a stand still because of my worries. Now Uncle Neil can help me with homework, and I can help him with housework. The Council: AJler so much buffeting, Irene understand ably is weary and wary. We hasten, therefore, to try to re store her faith in the adults -Uncle Neil, the guidance teacher, the social worker who, as surrogate parents, have her long range welfare and interests at heart and in mind. They will not lump her with "delinquents and ad diets." It's true that Irene has been handed a particularly rough deal. Her predicament re minds us of the crushing bur dens weighing upon many of our high school students to whom we try to teach algebra, Latin, citizenship. Because of the recklessness and irrespon sibility of their parents, those youngsters want answers to: Who loves me? Who'll help me? Whom can I trust? And teachers try to understand. But Irene still has mettle and spunk. Her distant star may be a home of her own some day, in which to give a husband and children the warmth and love she never had. And the direct path to that star is the group-living to which she is being steered. The right environment can make the difference. Irene is too young to sec all the reasons why a 28 year old uncle's flat isn't the answer for an orphaned, neglected, abandoned, and confused teen ager. But one reason is that a 14-ycar-old needs a father and a mother, or a reasonable facsimile found often In the "cottage plan" residential schools for homeless girls. These offer a fnmily "feel ing," with a cluster of "sis ters" sharing life under the roof of a trained married couple.
