More Room Needed.

A uum6er of the members of the
school board made a visit ID the
Walker High school on Tuesday for
the purpose of seeing what could be
done i'll the way of enlarging the
present room SO that the increase of
pupils can be accommodated. The
present high school room was made
to seat about seventy-five scholars
comfortably, but there are now on
the roll of the school one hundred
and twenty-nine and this number
will be increased to about hundred
and sixty during the year so that
more room is all absolute necessity.
The plan which is being considered
is to take out the partition between
the assembly room and the recita-
tion room and make this all into the
high school room. But if this is
done then there will be shor tage
of recitation rooms and the difficulty
will sooner Of later have to be over
come. There are some members of
the board who believe that an addi-
tion should be built to the school
building which would be large
enough for years to come and this
is being given considerable thought.
The board propose to engage an
architect to draw up set of plans
and as soon as this is done some
definite action will be taken.
