Down at Panama we own a jungle. Through it runs an untamed, emo
tional river. Sometimes it loafs along at a depth of 2 feet.
On busy days it shoots down from the hills a million gallons of water
between the ticks of a clock. ** - %
Some countrymen of yours have tamed that wild river.
They have slipped a gigantic bridle into its mouth. ^ Men call that bridle
ifGatun Dam.”
Imagine a solid wall higher than a church steeple, as thick at its base as
10 city blocks, a mile and A half long, and sloping so gradually to its crest
that it looks like an eternal hill.
Through that man-made hill runs a spillway for the surplus waters and a
passage-way for the gliding ships. _ That passage-way they call ‘‘Gatun
Locks.”
Guarding that passage-way stand the main lock gates, shown in this picture. Do
you know that the steel lock gates at Panama weigh 1,800 tons apiece, and yet are so deli
cately hung that they open and close at the touch of an electric button?

Houston,

Byrne. Dr. H.
Electricity from a government pow
er house furnishes heat for the new
high school at Rupert, Idaho, in the
center of the Minidoka Irrigation Pro
ject, according to a statement just is-
I went in an oue j by the United States Bureau of
Education. This is said to be the first
case on record where a large building
has been heated entirely by electricity.
The use of electric current for heat
ing and for a variety of other pur
poses in the new building has caused
it to be known as “The Electric High
School.”
The system of electric heating in
stalled in the Rupert High School is
remarkable for its simplicity. The us
ual arangement of hot-air pipes, flues,
etc., has been adhered to, but instead
of furnaces or 3team coils a battery
of electric heat units, similar to those
used in electric baking ovens, provides
the heat Twenty 1S-K. W. units are
installed In pairs, each pair with a
separate control of the current from
a switch board in the principal’s of
fice. Thus the principal can regulate
absolutely the amount of current used.
An emergency switch in the princi
pal's office may also be used to cut
out all current from the entire build
ing—heat, light, power, etc.
Electricity is put to work every
where in the Rupert building. A 10-
horsepower motor, besides driving the
ventilating fan, supplies all ths power
needed for the lathes and taws in the
manual-training department. An elec
tric water heater supplies the hot
water for the domestic-science de
partment, for the shower baths, for
the various lavatories, and for the sci
ence rooms. In the domestic-science
room each girl of a class of 20 has
her individual electric disk stove and
all necesary cooking utensils. This
room will also have on electric range
and other electric equipment for serv
ing cafeteria lunches on a large scale.
In the science laboratories electric
hot plates are provided for evapora
tion purposes, and each pupil will have
an electric appliance to take the place
of Bunien burners.
The electric-lighting system In
cludes an auditorium tat with stage
lights and switch control equal to
those of the best theaters. The light
ing and other equipment have been
planned with the idea ef making the
high-school building a model “com
munity center.” t
The entire electric equipment was
planned by local electricians with the
assistanco of U. S. government engi
neer! on the Minidoka Project. The
government supplies surplus current
from its own power house 14 miles
above Rupert, at a cost low enough to
compete with coat. It is estimated
that the cost ef heating the new high
school by electricity will be $1,760
per year. Coal might have been used
at a cost of about *1,000, but the use
of electricity saves the wages of a
fireman at *75 per month, and the
cost of installing ths electric system
was *3,000 less than for any other
system of heat—the interest on this
investment being saved annually. It
is therefore believed that the use of
electric heat in the Rupert Hi eh
School besides being a great cunveiu.
cnce, will prove a real economy.
