the Annual Inspection. ts5
The School Trustees are in a guam
diary. Complaints are received daily
that the school accommodations are
insufficient, and that people will leave
the city because their children cannot
go to school. In some of the more
o-yercrowded schools the children re
ceiye only half days tuition, somF
of the children being taught in tn
morning and some in the afternoon.
1T is believed that two large build
ings would not give any too mucf
room. Every available bit of space il
now used, but it is estimated that five
hundred children cannot gain admit
lance into the schools at all.
At a recent meeting of the Board OF
Trustees. a resolution was passed TO
build q new wing to School No. 3, but
nothing has since been heard OF 1t:
The resolution has been pigeonholed
in the City Clerks office, and the
Council. up to the present has moi
heard anything officially of the Trus-
tees report. The city has been given
an uptown site in a most appropriate
location, so that when he matter is
taken up in earnest, half OF the
trouble, and a considerable portion OF
the expense will be saved.
