to House All Pupils

The temporary Mission Grammar
School building on the site of the for
mer structure has been completed. The
new six-room temporary edifice has
the distinction of being the fiist of the
city's new schoolhouses. The building
will accommodate 800 children. This
capacity is only one-third that of the
original Institution, but. being in the
burned district. the Board of Education
believes it ample for the needs OF the
section.
The Mission Grammar School is only
one of thirty temporary buildings Of
the same type and capacity. The struc-
lures are designed to cost not more
than 5000 a room, thus including total
outlay of s36, 900. The various high
schools will be attended to without the
cost of erecting new homes by switch
ing classes about in the TWO remaining g
buildings.
In the Telegraph Hill district, which
is speedily regaining its former popu-
lation, the Garfield School is under way
on the former site on Union street, be-
tween Dupont and Kearny. On the nre

The Mckinley School will be out on
Fourteenth and Castro streets and will
relieve the congestion Of the Hearst
School. The York-street site will be
occupied by building to be used for
the accommodation Of children in the
Columbia School region.
None of the new buildings will reach
the former capacity. and fewer teachers
will be required. The president of the
Board of Education declares, however,
that classes will be found for all teach
ers. In explanation he cites the large
number of old educators who have
applied for leaves of absence, which
will open up vacancies in the regular
list. All substitutes will be trans
ferred to the unassigned roll. and older
membars OF the force switched to fill
the vacancies.
