Burlington Having Similar Trouble to

Burlington, Kas.. Nov. 1.-THE most
important question before the people of
Burlington now is how to obtain more
school room.
The schools are so badly crowded as
to prevent the teachers from accom-
plishing as much as they would if their
classes were not so large. Every room
is packed to its utmost. and this in
spite of the fact that many younger
children are not allowed to go to school
and the older ones are hurried through
really faster than they should.
The remedy is in obtaining more
school room, and the best way to OBJ
tain it is to build an addition to the
central building.
