CROWDED SCHOOL ROOMS.



Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteiligencer
WHATCOM, Dec. 23.--The crowded con-
dition of the Whatcom city schools has
reached such a point that the school board
is confronted with the problem Of furnish.
ing more rooms with only limited financial
resources The directors have therefore is-
sued a complete statement of conditions
and asked the patrons and taxpayers OF
the district to discuss the matter and take
such action as will promptly bring relief
from the endorsements caused by the
rapid growth of the city.
There are twenty-five grade rooms In the
four school buildings in the city. and the
ffty-two. There are i.55o enrolled, count
ing high school students, and the yearly
increase is over $50. Many children cannot
them. and children living in the center Of
the city must walk mile or more to
school, To accommodate the increase that
may be expected next year, without more
ity, for the lack Of further seating capacity.
AS educators are agreed that the number
of children assigned to a teacher should not
be more than forty. and that 1t Is not ad-
vantageous for sanitary reasons 70 seat
more than that number in school room.
it is the boards desire to considerably les
sen even the present number In each room
to say nothing of providing for next years
forty would require eleven new rooms,
which could only be secured by erecting
two new buildings
1t IL the Judgment of the board that the
Immediate necessities require that the pres
ent number Of rooms be increased by at
least eight and they have therefore pub.
l,cly called the attention OF the voters OF
the district to the existing conditions and
urge that they be given prompt considera-
ton, with view to deciding what meas
ures for relief shall be adopted. The board

make any statement as to his intentions.
In fact. Mr.. Tyrrell refused to discuss the
case at all.

Armstrong, when seen by a Post-Intel-

said:
