PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN MONDAY
More Pupils and Additional Teach
ers--Many Changes

The schools will convene Monday
with approximately rs new additions,
that number of pupils having applied
during the holiday recess for grada-
ton. To relieve the high school
building, where the congestion is
greatest in tho third, fourth, fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth grades,
the trustees have fitted mp q vacant
room in the basement OF the Roose-
velt school and have engaged Miss
Shean, Of Wisconsin, for the extra
teacher. The board also instructed
the teachers committee TO combine
the grades Of two rooms in the Roose
velt with corresponding grades In the
Central school, thus providing two
more vacant rooms to relieve the con-
gestion In the central building, but ut
the same time releasing two teachers
to all the vacancies.
''The Swedish Lutheran college
commences next Monday in Sander
hall, Z" stated Superindent Barton,
with the commercial department
that has been maintained during the
past two years by private tuition in
connection with the high school work.
School facilities are now greatly
needed in the south and Fort grounds
section Of the city. Present arrange
ments made by the board Of trustees
will probably remain in for the bal
ance OF the year, or until new school
buildings can be erected. The rooms
combined in the Roosevelt and CEN
trail buildings will probably have hall
day sessions and include the First
and Second grades"

given orders for the running of line
from Boise to a point on the present
