poration limits In the south ana west
ends of the city The board mem
bers feel that the school district
should be enlarged in order to include
the large number of children in Glen
wood addition and the vicinity In the
southwest part OF the city.
1--WE do not want to infringe on
the business of the council" said
Member M. b. Dickerson. but, we
merely want information. If the
Council expects TO extend the limits
and add that territory to the city.
wc want to know II and, If they arc
not, then we Will get busy ourselves
and y-petitlons see that It is added
to the school district" Dickerson
further explained that by extending
the corporation limits this territory
would be added to the school dis
trict without effort on the part Of
the board.
1t is quite generally understood that
the council plans TO extend the cor
poratlon limits In the south and west
within the near future. In case Of
failure to accomplish this the board
will see that the addition Is made TO
the city In order that property there
may be placed on city tax duplicate
and more money may be expended to
remedy the congestion in that end OF
the city in the graded schools.
Mr.. Jacoby will no doubt appear
before the council at the next meet
ing and state the situation. The
growth Of the west end OF the city
has been very remarkable and the
large number of children residing
there who are not allowed the priv
ileges OF the schools without paying
tuition makes the situation somewhat
in need Of attention.
At the meeting last evening. the
congestion in the first grades It Da-
vids and Silver. street buildings was
relieved by the election Of two assist
ant teachers. y After much effort,
Superintendent Frank obtained a
small list Of teachers who would take
the work and Mrs. Carrie Cromer
Durr, former teacher in the schools
here was unanimously elected as an
assistant She will probably be placed
at the Davids street building where q
new room will be fitted up with d
stove and blackboard.
Miss Ada Havill. who is now teach
Ing in Caledonia, was unanimously
elected as an assistant and will be
stationed at Silver street by Mr.
Frank. Both teachers have certiil'
Gates. Miss Havill was a graduate Of
the local High school last spring. Eacl
will teach at the regular salary of al
assistant. BY the election of the teach
ers, the large number of first grade
children at these buildings will b'
cared for and the condition will bt
bettercd.
At the last regular meeting of The
board, historical charts put out by the
Silver, Burdett company were SEN
here ON approval and 1t was planned
to place one in each building. TIT

examined by the board members las
