COMPLAINT FROM WEST SIDE PARENTS
SUPERINTENDENT k1DDLE EXPLAINS THE DIr-
FIcULTY.
Superintendent Kiddle was yesterday visited with
view to learning what ground there is for the
paint parents unable to their children
admitted to some of the city schools, especially the
primary department of No. ~ in North Moore street
Mr. Kiddle reports that there is abundant accommo-
daon in the ward for all applicants; but the schools
are situated not to be available. For in
stance there is accommodation In Primary School
No. IL, in vestry street. for fully seven hundred
more pupils than attend. To reach this school
pupils residing east of Hudson street must cross
that street, and there seems to be an indisposi-
tion the part OF parents to allow their
children to the risk OF being run over or man.
gled by the dummy engines of the Hudson River
Railroad Company. In consequence Of this fear
part OF parents the North Moore school Is over
run with applicants for admission. Speaking gen
erally OF overcrowded schools the Superintendent
stated that it is mainly confined to the Nineteenth,
Twenty second and Twelfth wards owing to the vast
increase Of population therein. He showed from
his reports of pupils attending schools in these
three wards the following remarkable increase:-
In 1852 children attending school. 6565
In 1862 children attending school,. 1f01
In 1916. children attending school,. 3l325
1t that the erection of school structures
has not kept pace with the increase OF population.
but Mr. Kiddie reports that the Board of Education
has under way, or in contemplation. school accom-
modation that will relieve the present schools Of
overcrowding.
WARDS.
Speaking of other wards the superintendent says.
in general terms that in the Fourth ward there Is
plenty of room. Tho II also true OF the First
and Third wards In the densey populated
tenement house wards there is considerable
crowding. This is notably in the Eleventh
and Seventeenth wards. The Tenth ward schools
are pretty well crowded. ~ also are the Eighth.
Ninth and Fifteenth. In the Eighteenth ward there
Is abundant and also in the eastern portion Of
the Twentieth ward. Tho crowding in the Seventh
ward seems to be confined to School No. 2 in Henry
afr In III a
room for all applicants, while the same is true of the
schools in the Twenty-thrd and Twenty-fourth
wards. This question OF the ovcrcro rowding of some
schools while others almost deserted, is that
the Board of Education has long had under advise
ment, but far it has faiod to devise rules and
regulations by which the attendance can be moro
nearly cuualizod.
