church buildings were offered for The

| For each of these schools new

AS soon as the buildings can be pat

There was a special called meeting
of the school committee yesterday af-
! ternoon ut 4 o'clock, i'll the mayer )
office, to consider the question of adj
ditional primary schools in the town
ship and to hear the report Of the
architects in regard to the changes in,
and additions to, the Watson school.
! Superintendent Moses explained that
| four additional primary schools had been
asked: One at Pilot Mills, olle in
| Brooklyn, one in West Raleigh and one
at Caraleigh Mills. For these the use
of four church buildings Baptist
and one Methodist-had been rendered,
without charge. He said such apDara-
tus as might he necessary would have
to be furnished by the committee. Tn $,
however, he Thought, would consist of
scarcely more than some frame black
boards, as it would not be practicable
TO put i'm desks Children could be Der
ter taught, as a rule Pro. Moses said
in regularly equipped school room, but
the primary grades could be very well
instructed in the church buildings. lie
pointed out the fact that the poDu!a-
ton of the sections asking the schools
had grown very much during the past
few Years, and that it was too far fog
small children to walk.
| He said the establishment of the
schools would necessitate the employ
ment of new teachers, but he thought
| the investment would be a good one,
as the attendance of children at the
schools will be thereby largely increased
! He does not expect the new schools
| to draw many from the regular city
schools, butt thinks that they win be

who are not now attending any school
at ALL
Many of them are so far away
that they cannot attend school and at
tend to their home Duties" he added.
And to others bad day is an alb
| solute prohibition from coming to the
city. This is especially the case with
those living I'm Brooklyn"
Rev. II. III. Balm then came before
the committee in behalf of the Brook
| Ign petition. He said a meeting had
been held in that suburb and a commit
tee had been appointed to canvass the
neighborhood for a mile around each
way from the church. In that area
141 children of school age had been
| found OF these 11S We're not attend
| ing school; and many of those who
| did attend did not go regularly. He
! believed If a school were started at
/ Brooklyn church there would be at
| least 100 children In the primary grade
who would attend. He produced GER
| tificate from the stewards and trus-
tees of the church granting use of the
building for school purposes and he
assured the committee there would be
no objection to placing a shelf on the
/ back of the seats for desks.
Prof. u. II. Hill made a similar
request for West Raleigh, rendering
the use of the church. He had no au-
thoFity to speak as to putting desks ON
| the back of the seats, but he thought
there would be mo trouble ON that score.
The school i'm West Raleigh, he said, was
desired only for the primary grade, and
it was estimated that about 40 chill
dren would attend it, Some Of them
now, if they came to the city, would
have to walk about two miles and a
quarter, as they live a mile beyond the
| COLLEGE.
Their ewas no representative from the
! Caraleigh Mills, but the committee ac'
| knowledged that the distance was too
great and Supt. Moses stated that he
was authorized to offer the use of the
| church.

Burton voting against Pit, authorizing
the superintendent to accept the use
of the three churches and put the
schools into operation as soon as pls-
sible, provided the congregations of the
churches allow movable desks to be nut
on the backs of the seats for use of the
puoils.
1T was understood by the committee,
in giving the Order that this establish
ment of outside primary schools is an ex-
pertinent, and if not success they
will be discontinued
The superintendent was directed 70
advertise for teachers for these schools
as soon as the buildings were prepared
! for school purposes.
