Whereas, Our public schools have

to menace the health of the SIT

Whereas, 1t has become necessary
to crowd young children into unsani-
tary Easements, an6 over-crowd the
high school assembly room beyond
both safety and health.
Whereas, Such unfortunate cOndi-
lions not only injuriOuSly affects
those vino remain at school but
tend to keep Others away and furn-
isbes good excuses to the wilful
truant.
Whereas, This state of affairs can
only be augmented in the future
unless more school buildings are pro-
vided.
We, the members Of the Alumni
Association Of the Mitchell High
School, respectfully petition the
Board of Education of the city of
Mitchell to make provision for the
present and future increase in the
population OF u schools, bv erect
ing with all practical speed such new
