and looked wise. Finally the face of

late in the season to attempt the estab-

enough stock was subscribed at ten dol

COL. BUTT ON SCHOOL FACILITIES.

EDIToRCENSoR:-As the school house
question is still before the people and
being discussed by Others, may | have
my say? First, we have room now for
eight grades and the high school, but
better light and ventilation is desirable
This think, can be had with present
buildings, but may cost a steam heating
plant with fan 10 force fresh air through
the rooms or to lift the foul airout. The
latter plan can scarcely fail but both
can be used, and by the former plan
fresh air of any necessary temperature
can be introduced into the rooms in any
desired quantity. The present buildings
will do us for two or three years, at
which time it may be necessary to divide
our grades making two schools of each
grade. THIN the present rooms used for
grade work will furnish room for the
9Th, 9th, 7th and Sth grades, and we will
have to furnish eight other rooms for the
1st I'd, Sd and 4th grades.
The additional rooms can be located
in different parts of the district at points
most convenient for the small pupils.
nearer their homes. and immediately
under the care of parents, cutting off
much of the travel now necessary TO at
tend the present schools, Some of the
pupils now have to travel about two
miles, which is very great travel for
small pupils Then If measles, mumps
or other infection breaks out in one
school the others will not necessarily
have to be closed The room can be
furnished by building new house on
present lot of necessary capacity, or on
lot close adjoining In this case all
the buildings could be heated and ven
tilated from the same heating plans
1t appears to me that our city Is now
as large as we can well expect all the
pupils to attend at our present grounds
and the district is larger than the city;
that in few years, at least, we will be
driven to adopt the ward school plan for
at least our grades and it strikes me it
is as well to go to that plan when we
need to build and save the very proba-
BILE expense of again in few years be-
ing compelled to practically throw away
what we may do now, for soon) and re-
sort to the ward school plan. | am of
opinion the district would be the gamer
to go to the ward school plan when we
again have to build. G. M. BUTT.
