tnwliuc the Stroll# uppeal by The Ooor-
xinn for more school houses, and Its
revelation of present conditions.
for the board of education decided
lo put it up to council at the meeting
held Thursday afternoon.
The board decided to ask council for
(130,000 for new buildings next year.
And oven at that the present conges,
linn " III hardly be relieved.
This amount Is for the building of
two new modem brick schools that will
just about take care of'the natural in
crease In the attendance of next year
over this year, and it also includes the
price of a school and site to take the
place of the present Marietta street
school. *
This school is situated practically on
the railroad and It is the site princi
pally which makes It undesirable for
school purposes. *
And yet this amount of money will
probably seem enormous to the officials
who have charge of the city’s purse
strings. It may be a large amount, but
even at that it will not take care of
those children in the crotyded schools
who ere now compelled to get their
education In crowded, basement rooms
—rooms which are like those that had
to he abandoned because the doctors
raid they were unhealthy.
Attendance Is Increasing.
Tt will be recalled that ever since
|H»2- the attendance • arVKb schhcls has |
increased about 890 each year. It this
hns been the case in the past, the
rchool officials declare that It will
amount to this much if not more in
19n7.
So with Just the natural increase, the
two new schools asked for will only
about take care of this Increase. The
money spent for the new building und
rite to take the place of the Marietta
Street school will not count. That
building will only take care of the
many children who are already crowd
ed into the present school.
It the children are to be properly
taken care of while they are getting
their education, more than this amount
•f money will have to be appropriated
hv council. But If this Is not done. It
will hardly do to shave down the
amount asked for. It that Is done the
congestion next year will be greater
than It Is now.
And It must be bad enough if chil
dren have to be crowded into rooms
that were formerly used for coal stor
age.
The burden will sdon be on the mayor
and general council.
It’s either at least $120,000 for new
schools or children crowded into frame
shacks and Into basement, cellar and
coal rooms. i
