Accessi0ns Expected
Seats In Unfit Condition For
Use in Auditorium.
NO PLACE FOR THE BOOKS

With 80 more new pupils entering
the High school next September and
five in the graduating class for June.
II is imperative that the school board
will have to enlarge the seating
capacity OF the study hall. Already
the seating capacity is not adequate
for the number OF students, and 1t
keeps the teachers of the High school
faculty busy switching the pupils
around in order that all may have
seats. This Is the result OF the dis
caused by the use OF
opera chairs, which are so frail that
the most delicate shock will break
casting.
The teachers OF the High school
were not backward in giving their
views on the dissatisfaction over the
seating facilities In the study hall.
On account OF the delicate castings
many arms on the chairs, used for
writing, have been broken of, while
the students are compelled to place
their tablets in their laps and write.
This is uncomfortable. and the writ
ing cannot be rapid or plain.
Badly Broken.
Some OF the chairs are broken too
badly for use, and these are entirely
out OF commission while others are
rickety but are still used. One teacher
in speaking of the condition this
morning. said:
81 think II Is 9 shame that the
pupils have to write with the desks
In the condition. All parts OF the
chairs are broken eaIly. and the chill
dren tear their clothes on the rough
edges. So many seats have been
broken that pupils are seated on the
seats in front OF the aisles, and these
seats are not provided with any place
to keep books. AS a result the floor
is used as book case, and books are
kiced around. We are about 80 seats
short, and these pupils have to find
seats the best they can, using a chair
which Is unoccupied while a student
is sic or attending recitation"
The opera chairs installed in the
High school have never given salts
faction. although the chairs cost over
SO each. This is the second year OF
their use. and It has been demon
strated they are too frail.
