With a total enrollment of 1,326 pu- pils, the city schools are crowded far beyond their capacity and this condi+ tion in interferring with the proper students, school officials point out. Ever since the start of the present school year the need of a new building has been daily demonstrated ahd the~ situation: has reached’ the point where either a new building must-be erected or a certain number of:children either deprived of schooling or time. The report of C!ty. Superintendent of Schools J. M, Martin of enroll- ment up to December 8 in the various buildings is illuminating evidence that a new building has long been needed. The report is as follows: * Aver, ‘ ~ Per Boys Girls Tot. ‘Rm. 321 40 School William Moore....166 155 Will +244 205 449 45 se +113 75 188 47 High school grades 63 37 100 50 High school a freshmen classes placed on part} © ae Sophomore Juniors Seniors 108 160 260 Grand total 694 632. 1826 The actual number “belonging”— going to school every day—ts placed at 1,270 by Superintendent Martin, the largest number for daily attend- nee in local schools, ‘Because of this four classes are being held in room: not properly equipped or suited for chool purposes. the the regula additional rooms for class purposes.’ The Will school is using a room rig:nally intended for office pur poses as a classroom, although it 1 not~equipped for teaching and has 4 capacity for only 24 students. Two basement rooms are also being used in the Will school which are very undesirable for this purpose ani! there is urgent need for a fifth room in the junior high school. In. the. William Moore school th: seyenth B grade has 51 students while in the Will school the fiftl rade has 47 pupils and the two firs grades each has 48 pupils, In the high school. grades,: the seventh has 44’ enrolled and the fifth has 56- chil dren, “All of these classes are en tirely too large for efficient instruc tion,” said Mr. (Martin, “and should be split into smaller units.” The high school is, so crowded that although 24 seats have been installed in the assembly to seat the overflow which -has ‘been handled‘ in the com mercial department, 48 new seats have been ordered and will also be placed. inthe assembly room. One of the interesting features of the cnrollment this year is the fact |that the boys outnumber the girls, the high: school being the only building where the girls are in the majority. Public. sentiment has expressed itself favorably towards this proposed school building and those actively supporting . the matter predict: the bond. issue will. be ‘approved by an overwhelming majority. The. proposed school will be lo- cated on the block bounded by. Ave nues. C and D and..Thirteenth. and ‘Fourteenth street. The school board has already. purchased this property, as well as the half block immediately north, which will. enable the: authori- ties to install a Playground and com: munity center. An active campaign will be started soon, it is'.undérstood, by parents of school children and athers to create sentiment in favor of the bond issue so that the vote will roll-up the big: gest’ majority for any civic improve- meni that has ever been recorded.

The {gestimony shows that: the order of ‘the state board: of hedlth was enforced and that prior to. the date of. the election placards were, posted requesting the crowds not to congregate around the™polling place; that after the polls were closed the election board, believing that they were complying with the order of the board of health, locked the door. - "The testimony. further shows that any: one who really seriously attempt- ved: to get. in -was admitted into the ‘oom.- The testimony of Frank Riba himself shows that he himself be- lieves' that he got! all. the votes he was'-entitled- to, and- that: there was Hd miscount. ‘The locking of’ the door ‘was irregular, but the evidence shows that, there. was too clearly no inten tion of violating the law, and that the state's attorney of the: county as president of: the'county - board . of health had issued the instruction, be- lieving that under orders of the board of’ health the crowd should not ongrezate,”” a WHIPPLE, COMBS TO BAT.
