LAND PURCHASED
FOR new SCHOOL
Manchester District to Erect
Building on Historic
Site.

For the purpose of erecting a mod
ern and adequate public school build
ing, the trustees or Manchester Dis
trict in Chesterfield county yesterday
closed a deal with Henry c. Boattio
for .sSe acres of land. This prop
erty is situated at the highest point
in the county within five files of Rich
mond, according to the report of
County Surveyor w. w. La Prade.
During the Civil War 1t was the site
of a fort, used In the defense of the
capital of tho Confederate States.
Judge Walter 4. Watson, of the
Circuit Court. has authorized the pur-
chase at price of $500. The sum
of $500 was paid in cash, and the
balance is to be raised within four
years. or earlier, at the discretion Oh
the board. 1t is the intention of the
school officials to dispose OF the pres
ent Swansboro school property and to
use the proceeds for the retirement
of the debt OH the new property.
Early In the spring the erection Of
the building will be begun. 1t will
face directly on the Midlothian Turn
pike and in q natural grove. The
schoolhouse will contain twelve
rooms. IL Is 10 Cost &lb,uUV, tSCiusiNe
of the price paid for the land.
Schools Crowded.
For several years past the public
schools of Manchester district have
been greatly overcrowded, and the
School Board has been putting forth
every effort to accommodate the In
creasing school attendance. Additions
to several OF the school buildings have
been made, and yet the demand has
continued When the school census
was taken last spring it showed an
increase of 724 in the school population
in the district, when the whole IN
crease in the county was only 1,031,
there being Ave other districts.
To meet this great increase In school
population the district board last sum-
mer laid It's plans for the erection OF
n large school building, SO that there
could be consolidation of the schols
and ample room provided for the
growing needs of the district. Then.
too, the board had In view the estab-
lishment of high school. The pres
ent school building In Swansboro was
totally inadequate, and In Oak Grove
the same condition exists. and the
board was forced to rent rooms away
from the reg Liar buildings and estab-
lish lew schools. It was apparent tina
large building was needed. and
needed at nee. The late assessment
in the district. and the increased
school population. justified the board
in taking steps looking to the erec-
ton OF large school building.
