WHERE CHILDREN ARE PLACED.
Supt. Parke Gives Detailed Report On
School Division.

After holidays, when the new build
ing is ready for occupancy, the school
will be divided In such a manner as to
place in the Lincoln building a pri-
mary, first, second, third, fourth, NTH,
sixth, two seventh and two eighth
grades. A primary, first, second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth grade togeth-
er with all the high school, will re-
main in the Bickel building.
The reasons for this division are OBJ
vious. Knowing that the Lincoln build
ing provided no satisfactory place for
assembly, necessity in high school,
which is filled Dy the auditorium in
the Bickel building, 1t was early plan
ned to keep the high school in it's
present quarters. Therefore the up
per floor OF the Bickel building has
been equipped for high school work.
The only change necessary in the
high school will be the transfer OF the
English department, which has been
reciting in the auditorium, to room one
now occupied by the sixth grade.
Having decided it best to keep the
high school in the Bickel building the
next question was the proper distribu-
tion of the grades. There being suf-
ficient pupils In each grade for two
classes, the natural arrangement
would be class of each grade in each
building. This, however, was made
impossible by the fact that, with the
high school in the Bickel building,
there were but seven rooms to be occu-
pied by the grades, and as the school
is divided into nine grades it was nee
essary to leave two of them out of this
building. After careful considera-
ton, and principally because the larg-
er children are better able than the
small ones to walk the greater dis
tance, it was thought best to have all
the lower grades in the Bickel as we'll
as the Lincoln building and send the
higher two, the seventh and eighth, to
the Lincoln building.
The town children are divided be-
tween the two schools as follows: All
high school pupils go to the Bickel
building, all fifth and sixth grade pu-
pills living southeast Of End street east
and End street south, and all primary,
first, second; third and fourth grade
children living southeast of 3rd street
east and 3rd street south go to the
Bickel building; all seventh and
eighth grade children go to the Lin
coin building; and all fifth and sixth
grade children living northwest OF End
street east and End street south, and
all primary, first, second, third and
fourth grade children living north
west OF 3rd street east and 3rd street
south go to the Lincoln building.
1t was impossible to establish any
one division line for all grade of the
town children, SO the above arrange
ment was settled upon as the one CIV
ing the most equitable and at the same
time practical division.
Those children living outside of the
original townsite, who do not ride on
the school wagons, will attend the
school nearest to which they live. All
country children except those in the
seventh and eighth grades, who ride on
the wagons driven by Mr.. Johnson, Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Summers, Mr.. Griffith, Mr..
Glenn and Mr.. Montgomery, will at
tend the Bickel school. All country
children, except those in high school,
who ride on the wagons driven by Mr..
H. Willis, Mr.. ]. Willis, Mr.. James,
Mr.. Judson. Mr. Woods, Mr. Eaton and
Mr.. Miller, will attend the Lincoln
school.
