The High-school, South.

To the Editor of the lndiarapo Journal
The school board has seldom proposed any
measure that meets a more cordial appreciation
by the people generally than to divide the high
school, for at least the first two years. and locate
a branch of it south of the Union tracks. No
one has been heard to speak against it except the
high school teachers, who prefer TO be in one
building and to have that building north of
Washington, for several reasons, not at all bear
ing upon the efficiency of the school, but purely
personal
There is one thing however, in the hastily
drawn resolution and as hastily adopted-that
is, the location of the school at No. s. on the cor
ner of Virginia avenue and Huron street.
The first objection to that locality is the
want of sufficient room. The lot is large
enough for two buildings if the present one had
been built with reference to another but it was
not There is NOT room enough either side of
it for another building with due regard to light
and air for each especially considering the
cheapness of ground in that vicinity. If it were
a store or factory were building we might fill
up the lot with brick and mortar, but air and
light are important in school buildings. But
even this is not chief objection. 1t is not hear
the geographical center of the territory to be &C
commodated. The north line of that territory
is well defined and permanent-the railroad
tracks--but the south and east boundaries are
not These will be receding for u century.
The location should be further SOUTH at
least two or three squares. to meet the
present needs not to mention the future
it can hardly be wise. as mere matter of econ
omy, to bring upon that lot three or four
hundred additional pupils, when ample room can
be had, more centrally located for $1,000 or
So 000, and school bonds at per cent, running
twenty years, be taken for it. If the cost of
larger and more central lot is the trouble we can
sell part of this lot for more than enough to
buy twice as much ground in better location
for the purpose of a high school. Besides, in the
very near future ample grounds around our pub
lie buildings, and our schools in particular, will
be great desideratum Go south, gentlemen
and get in the midst of growing population
which most needs you. u l.. SEE.
