3 MORE THAN 800 EXCESS PUPILS JAM SCHOOLS Slaton Arranges to Accommodate 1.000 More Than Sfeating Ca pacity of City Institutions. All but 42 of the pupils who ap plied for admission to the Atlanta schools Monday have been provided with seats, and before the close of the day these will have been arranged for. Thus the apparently Impossible task of caring; for 1,000 pupils above the seating: capacity of the schools ha* been accomplished by Superintendent W. M. Slaton and the principals of the various schools. Monday morning: the school author ities found themselves facing an ap parently hopelens tangle In some of the schools, having considerably more applicants than accommodations. In some Instances the excess number passed well over the 100 mark. Only 42 Lack Seats. The tangle was unraveled by trans. fering many pupils and the establish ment of new grades in some of the schools. The present problem Is car- ipg 42 additional “kiddies” in the first grade of the English avenue school. Race suicide apparently is an unheard of issue in this neighborhood, and ad ditional space provided in anticipa tion of a great attendance there was found Inadequate. A new first grade will be estab lished here, either in tho basement of the present building or in another building in the neighborhood. The children will not be placed in the basement if there is any possible way to avoid it. By the transferring of many of the pupils quite a number of them will have long distances to go, but every effort has been made to prevent any hardship. Confers With Principals. A conference was held by Superin tendent Slaton with the school prin- ( ipals Thursday afternoon, and 850 of the children cared for. Thursday aft ernoon he will hold another confer ence with the principals of the Edge- wood. Inman Park and Highland ave nue schools, which schools are neat each other. Owing to the crowded conditions of these schools the school board some time ago began the construction of the Moreland school vhlch is expect ed to be ready for occupancy in a few weeks. Five grades will be estab lished. and the overflow attendance in the primary ^radca of these three school^ will be cared for. School Congestion Adjusted by Board. Further adjustment of the crowded condition of Atlanta schools was made Thursday as a result of action of the Board of Education at a special meet ing Wednesday afternoon. An option on the Neal property, at No. 44 Moreland avenue, was accept ed. The city is now using the old Neal house for overflow pupils, but If the property Is purchased the rent will be deducted. The price Is 19,800. The Board gave Superintendent W. M. Slaton authority to rent a cottage in East Atlanta to take care of the big increase in enrollment in the fifth and sixth grades. An additional teacher was author ized for the Boys’ Technological High School and one for the Girls’ High School. Superintendent Slaton was instructed to appoint teachers for the new Moreland Avenue School, which Is almost completed. These appoint ments must be confirmed by the Board.
