past the crowded condition of our
schools has been q source of great an
noyance to the board of education, and
at recent meeting of the board COM
mittee was appointed to find out wheth-
or or not ii would be advisable to make
few changes in the school building,
and also to arrange for the accommoda-
tion of the pupils in the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades. The committee reported
that they thought it would probably
cause too much dissatisfaction among
the patrons of the school to transfer the
pupils of these grades to the outside
buildings = the east and west end
school buildings-and that, by TAX
ing out the partitions that sep
arate the teachers rooms and
washrooms in the same building, two
additional classrooms could be used,
and that, by hiring two additional
teachers for the fourth and fifth grades,
and getting assistance from three teach
ers for the sixth grade, ample and eatis-
factory accommodations for all could
be made. The report was accepted and
work on these rooms was commenced
Immediately.
The new teachers hired were Anna l..
Moore for the sixth grade, and Sallie ID.
Finley for the fourth and fifth grades.
New desks will probably be put in these
rooms tomorrow.
