Fearful Conditions at Irving and
Lincoln Schools.
THE BOARD IS In FAVOR OF ANNEXES
Teachers and Children Made Sick by
unsanitary conditons-schooIs All
Over the City Are overcrowded--
Want Peoples Views.

Shall the city of Ottumwa build a
new school building or shall it have
an annex built to the Lincoln and
Irving schools in order to get the
smaller children out of the cellars at
these two schools? This question has
been debated by the school board for
some time, and the matter has come
to point where the board desires
some action taken by the people. All
of the schools of the city are over
crowded, but at the two schools men.
toned do the facts warrant this asssr-
tion in its fullest meaning.
Space All Taken Up.
According to President E. 3. McEl-
roy of the school board every inch
of space at both of these buildings is
occupied except the coal and boiler
rooms. At the Irving school two of
its teachers are now suffering with
rheumatism, which was caused by be-
ing forced to work in an underground
room. Any number of the children
have been made sick from this cause,
and especially is it hard on their
eyes. With view to making eacn
cellar as dry as possible, the inside
vans have been plastered, and this
with the stone wall makes thickness
of nearly three feet The windows are
of necessity very small and crude af-
1otc I,~rI,+
in small stream, making it very un-
certain, and trying on the eyes. Mr..
McElroy says, were it not for the fact
that SO many children are sick and
out of school the board would be en-
tirely "swamped" for room.
What Do People Think?
The board is considering the quas-
ton of building an annex at each Of
these schools and if it were not for
the unfavorable action taken by the
people some two years ago on this
| question, it would ask that this be
done. But in view of the fact that
unfavorable action was taken, when
| the matter was brought up before, the
board hesitates, and it's desire is that
the matter be taken up, and that the
people give an expression of their
views, whether they want a new
school building, or if the board shall
go ahead and have the annexes built.
The main point is to get the children
OUT of the cellars, and that as soon as
possible.
Cost Would Be Light.
Mr.. McElroy thinks these annexes
would cost in the neighborhood of
about $1,000, and while they would
not permanently relieve the conges-
tion of the schools they would, for the
time being, get the smaller children
out of the cellars, and later on new
buildings could be erected.
/ He says the High school will be
entirely paid for within the next two
years, and that at that time the city
would be in position to go, ahead
with another building, and the funds
that would be necessary, will not be
felt to any great extent Mr.. McEl-
roy would like to see the erection OF
two more school buildings but he
takes the view, that it would be toe
heavy drain upon the tax payers to
build them at this time. He realizes
the fact that the present accommoda.
tions are entirely inadequate, and is
in favor of the annex plan simply as
