Meeting at Roosevelt High School, || Keneipp's committee was conducted || through the building by Miss M. P. Bradshaw, principal. Inspection re- vealed that while the fundamental educational program was being com- fortably carried, out, it was at the expense of certain desirable extra- curricular activities such as correc- tive exercises for pupils unable to participate in the regular exercise program. Two junior high schools visited, the Paul and the Powell, revealed | congested conditions. Figures as of | November 1, 1936, showed the Paul ||fl| School handles about 400 pupils over capacity. Most of these pupils, the committee found, are taken care of in an old eight-room building about two blocks away and in the library, which has been made over into a temporary class room. Principal L. J. Cantrell pointed out that many of the boys in the old building have to make the trip of two blocks up to the main edifice for some classes, regard- less of weather conditions. A slight congestion at the Powell i5 taken care of by two portable &chool houses and the Johnson eight- room annex across the street, the investigation showed. Serious Overcrowding. Looking over elementary schools, the group found serious congestion in | the Cleveland School for colored chil- dren, where the teachers have to operate eight part-time classes to take care of the enrollment. The ‘Weightman School for Crippled Chil- drengnlso has 50 pupils in er::n( grades CRISP being taught by two teachers in two Tooms, they learned. The attention of the committee was @lso attracted by the poor condition | of some of the equipment in the &chools.
