THIRD WARD SCHOOL Sc
lECTED FOR CENTRAL HIGH.

The board of education held a
meeting Friday night and decided upon
the Third ward school for the central
high school. The city superintendent
elect, P j. Zimmers, was present at
the meeting. The reasons for select
ing the Third wavd school, and report
of other business transacted at the
meeting are contained in the following
statement given out by Atty. Isaac
Crate Saturday:
''The board of education, at its meet
ing last night, transacted great deal
of important business. The first thing
they had under consideration was the
location of the central high school and
after having considered all the condi-
tions which were necessary in order to
locate the school, it was decided that
the high school in the Third ward was
the one.
"The two principal factores that
went to settle the questions were these:
Il. The comparative and relative
distance of the pupils to the school.
-. The facilities surrounding the
high school for the accommodation OF
the grade pupils who would necessari-
ly have to leave the building and be ac-
commodated elsewhere.
The central high school of the city
of Manitowoc, will be free hlgh
school. and not an independent high
school. The difference between the
two is not great, except that free
high school gets free high school
money from the state and is somewhat
under the supervision of the state, as
to its discipline, course of study, etc.
Tuition pupils will be admitted at DO
cents per week from outside districts.
"Many of the grade teachers were
retained: On the south side First
wald) all the teachers. Joint District
No. 4 Division street, Ieralda Buer-
static. Viola Schreihardt, Lillian Say
age. In the Fifth ward, Miss Nora
Healy was retained as the principal OF
that school and also Lizzie Handl was
retained in one of the grades. On the
north side the Park SCHOOL, they were
all retained except Grace Day and in
the Luling school, Clara Filholm, Car
oline Knutson, May Rechcygal, Anna
Olson, Miss Bierman. Anna *. Hall,
Isabel O'Connor, Martha Olson and
Bertha Boehmer
Miss Kiisten Olson was engaged in
the High scnool as one of the teacher,
in mathematics. Several other appli-
cations are still pending before the
board, for positions both in the High
school and grades.
''The fact that the other teachers in
the grades in the city were not retain
ed last night is due to the fact that
the board did not know whether or not
said teachers desired to teach and for
the further fact that the board did not
know how many of these teachers they
needed but the matter will be deter
mined in a short while.
"There was more or less discussion
as to whether or not the grades in
some of the schools have been and
were somewhat neglected and the
board considered that probably 30 per
cent of the boys and girls don't go any
further than the grades, and are thrown
out in the world, with that as their
college and that that percentage goes
to make the bulwark and backbone OF
the country. Special attention will be
paid by the board as well as the super
intendent to the grades and the board
considered very sacredly that the
teachers in the grades must make good,
if not, they may be handed with a GER
tificate of 'non-user' very soon"
AS provided by statute the board
met May and organized. Frank A.
Miller was elected president and
Albert Schuette secretary. The con-
tracts made with the superintendent
and the various teachers were ratified
at the meeting. A committee on rules
was appointed consisting of Isaac
Cratic Albert Schuette add f. A.
Miller. From now on the board will
hold regular meetings.
