ONLY FOR EAST SIDE.
THE proposed high school is partlc-
ulsrly for the east side, as the city al
,sady has O. site for the west side high
school In the next place, Il distance
N one mile and half extending to-
The north 20 the west and To the south
would include practically 90 per cent
o. the high school students from the
ast side This distance could easily
n covered by those desiring to walk
Rlt for those who desire 60 travel by
car, the point offered IS probably the
very best in the city. The Thirteenth
East street car line would require to
n extended only a block or two In
CIDER 10 Furnish transportation ana
innsfers for all those coming from
he north and west parts OF the city,
While the Ninth South street car line
already runs to Eleventh East street
dthn one block of the proposed high
sh0ol site and would furnish splendid
transfer privileges for all pupils who
cme from points south OF Second
Suth street. and particularly for the
urge number Of pupils who come from
plnts south Of Ninth South street, as
arh of these car lines could transfer
atir pupils to the Ninth South street
lne without first carrying their pas
sihgrs into the center of the city.
WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE.
Then again. tho census Just taken
f0gs that Ia the First precinct, I'm
Which this site IL located, the children

sher precincts of the east side the |
hurth has 3O74. the Fifth has 1885. |
,kng a total Of ;, 339 so that the |
INT precinct alone has 1891 more |
ildren Of school age than both of tho |
der precincts combined. The census |
- shows that the First precinct in |
a,ase1 during the past year, ] ,ii5 pu- |
~ while an Of the other four pre- /
his Of the city combined increased |

me past year seems large, the pros
ts are that this increase has only /

we is no limit to the distance that
CITY can grow. And II Is IN this
