Graded School to be Enlarged.

The increase from year to year III
the number of pupils seeking admis-
sion to the Central Graded School has
forced the Board of Trustees to take
under adviscmcnt plans which will
enable them to provide all applicants
with suitable accommodations.
A committee has been appointed
from tho Board, consisting of Hon.
James NJ. Sullivan, John G.. Watkins
and DR.. Il. &. Walton, the Superintcn-
dent, to. fix upon some definite plan to
be submitted to the Board, which if
adopted, will be laid before the City
Council for approval and for the means
to carry the plan into execution.
The committee prefers to purchase n
lot containing about two acres, CON
vcnicntly located. and erect frame
building of suilicicnt size, or perhaps
rent Il suitable building into which
either the primary or higher grades
may be segregated. Another plan is
to enlarge the present central school
building. This last plan does not meet
with much approval by the committee,
because they consider it unwise to con
grcgate SO many children in one place.
But it is much the cheaper plan and its
adoption may be forced upon them be-
cause OF II lack Of funds.
10 carry out any plan adopted by
the Trustees, an appropriation from
the City Council will, Of course, be
necessary. It does not follow, how
ever, that the tax levy must be in
creased. The $4,000 appropriated to
erect the colored school building did
not Increase the levy it doubtless
came from surplus in the city treasu-
~, which was the result of economical
administration.
hree thousand dollars will proba bly,
be found quite suffici ent to purchase
the lot, as the committee prefers to do,
and make the necessary enlargement.
Should it not be. and should an addi-
tiopal tax levy be necessary, it could
not exceed half a mill, and in nil proba-
blllty would not exceed one fourth of
Fill; for the reason that, the special
tax for the maintenance of the schools
III this special district, (the city of An
derson is n special school district) is
limited to three mills, two and one
half of which is now being paid
under levy by the Council; and
for the further reason that an in
crease i'll enrolment in the schools will
give this school district larger
amount from the constitutional three
mills tax. This tax is apportioned ac-
c0rding to enrolment in the school
districts throughout the State, and the
enrolment in the city of Anderson has
never entitled the city to more than
about fifty per cent of this fund. After
The school has been enlarged the in
crease III enrolment will not bring a
corresponding increase of expense. the
same number of teachers now employ
ell can properly manage and instruct
more children, while the enrolment
will bring II larger amount from the
constitutional three mills tax, which,
supplemented by an increase of one
fourth of n mill to the special tax,
would provide ample funds for n very
considerable increase.
The enlargement of the school is
necessary and in all probability the
Council and the tax payers will grant
whatever is asked for the promotion of
educational advantages.

VENEZUELA'S DEBTS
GERMANY'S CLAIM Is PLACED AT
$2,o0o,ooo.
Castro Represents That His Govern
ment Must Have Time to
Raise Money.

BERLIN, December 2.-The published
statement that Germany's claims against
Venezuela amount to $15,060, coo Is, the cor
respondent Of the Associated Press is of
ficially Informed, incorrect. While the
German government Is not yet ready to
publish the details Of its demands, persons
who have seen the papers say the total is
about s., 600, 900. President Castro repre-
sents to Germany that Venezuela has little
credit abroad: that the country Is just
emerging from civil war, during which
planting and industry were partially ruin
ed, and that, therefore. no matter how
much Venezuela may desire to satisfy i'm
mediately the claims against her it is OBJ
viously impossible Hence, an agreement
on the subject must provide for deferred
payments. The seizure. of the custom
houses, thereby depriving the government
Of an important means to administer the
country, would add to the international
distress and disorder.
While President Castro's proposals are not
disclosed there Is reason to believe that they
include the emission Of bonds at moder-
ately high rate Of interest, with some sort
of a guarantee that II the interest or the
installments of the principal are defaulted
certain Venezuelan custom houses may be
taken over by Germany.
Nothing Is known here of the plans of
Isaac M. Seligman of New York for float
ing a venezuelan ioaT he mas not dp-
preached this government In the matter.
There Is no disposition here to proceed
with harsh measures toward Venezuela II
milder ones will suffice to exact satisfaction,
but the German government Is fully COM
mitted to the intention to obtain ample sat
isfaction. The claimants are constantly
urging the government to press the collec-
ton Of the amounts due them, not only
because of the sums involved, but, it is rep
resented, In view Of the fact that the long
delay has rendered the position of Germans
in Venezuela more and more veXatious
Therefore. 1t is claimed, that the govern
ment must strike and strike hard, In order
