at n meeting of the school board to-
night. Another meeting is to be held
Tuesday evening to decide upon the
number of the new buildings, their
location and the date of the bond
election.
The board of education has been in
q trying position this year because 1t
has had to carry on the schools of the
district as far as the state and county
apportionment is concerned with
funds estimated sufficient for the at
tendance of nearly a year ago. There
are 500 more pupils than there were
then, and the board has been obliged
TO practice all sorts of economies
which the people, especially the new
comers, do not understand.
The board has been repeatedly told
that the lack of teachers and school
room speaks lily of the city and can
only agree. In the Madison school, a
nine-room building opened for use in
September of this year, every room is
full and pupils have been turned away
daily. In the Lincoln school $50 pupils
were obliged to seek quarters else
where. With the provisions for new
buildings made tonight it is estimated
that the growing school population can
be housed by January /, 1907. If possible
a little sooner, but not much.
