school year. The Lafayette, Lincoln and
Central schools have all been calci-
mined. a new heating plant has been
put into the Franklin building, two
rooms in the Lincoln building. two
rooms in the Washington building and
one in the Riverside building have
been fitted with adjustable desks that
can be adjusted to the size of the
children.
William Kleihege has attended to the
repairing of the altering system of the
school by which the students are pro-
vided with pure water and a hundred
other things have been done to make
the schools more comfortable for the
future greats who will soon be receiv-
ing their instruction there.
More Teachers Hired.
Three teachers will be provided to
do the eighth grade work where two
were required before. This has been
made necessary by the fact that the
number of pupils in this grade is
greater than ever before and there is
too much work for two teachers.
Arrangements have been made for
the teaching of science, history and
German on the third floor of the Cen
commercial departments were formerly
accommodated
Recently the board of education has
authorized the purchase of more prop
erty for plays ground purposes. Three
lots were purchased from T. Richard

sible the charging of the Franklin
school grounds.

demand for the Identification of the
various school properties the lots
which the school city owns are being
filled and will be converted into at
tractive lawns.
Seventeen New Teachers.
There will be about seventeen new
teachers in the schools this year who
Will replace those who have resigned
and vii supply places that have been
recently created. These new teachers
have been carefully selected and all
of them come up to the new high re-
quirements that the board of educa-
ton has set as the qualifications for
teachers.
1t is believed that the teaching staff
of the school will be more efficient
| than ever. In the more important sit
uations, such as the principalships, the
, special work and high school positions
there will be very few changes.
With the exception of the resigna-
ton OF W. A. Hill as principal. and
that of Mrs. Belle Felkner as teacher
of art, there will be no important
| changes in the personal of the force.
! Both of these changes were announced
exclusively In THE TIMES some time
| ago
To sum up the situation the pros
poets for the coming year seem very
bright In every respect.
