When the public schools open on
September II it will be found that
many additions, changes and altera-
tions have been made during the vaca-
ton period, all of which will materially
improve the accommodations for the
rapidly increasing attendance and add
to the efficiency of the teaching starr.
When the schools opened in Septem-
Der last year the enrolment showed an
attendance of $3.50, which was an in
crease of 1907 over the preceding year.
1t is estimated that the increase this
year will be from 1,500 to 1900, and
although the new pupils will be pretty
well scattered all over the city the
greatest percentage of gain will be in
the Hill section.
To meet this rapid increase the a
of Education has made liberal provi-
sion for new schools and substantial
additions to the cid ones. The dbl
tions to the Seventh Avenue Schoo
will be completed about october 1,
while the Avon Avenue and Madison
Street Schools will have the new wings
ready between January and February
next year.
The new Ridge Street School will be
completed about May l next, and this
will help to relieve the conditions In
that section to i great extent. Tne
Peshine Avenue School will not be
ready for a long time, as the appro-
priation a only just been made for
this building.
Plans for New schools.
The new West Side School, which Is
very badly needed, is already provided
for n plans are now being drawn
for it. Every effort will be made to
rush the work en- this school to early
completion. The plans for the new
Webster Street School have been ac-
cepted and work on this structure will
be started as 500 as possible.
The new East Side High School and
the Central High School are rapidly
nearing completion. The two new I'M
graded schools at South Tenth street
and at Chestnut street are also being
rushed forward.
1t is planned to have twenty-six
new classes in the different schools
this fall, and hes will be divided as
follows: Arlington Avenue, 2; Avon
Avenue, 1; Fifteenth avenue, 2; Haw-
thorne Avenue, /: Lincoln Avenue, 1;
Madison Street, 8; Morton Street, /;
Newton Street, 1; Oliver Street, 1;
Seventh Avenue. s; Camden Street, A;
Summer Place, 1; Charlton Street, 3.
The grammar grades will be ex-
tended to meet the new requirements
and the following new classes will be
added to the respective schools: Charl-
ton Street, seventh A; Fifteenth Ave-
nue., seventh B; Lincoln Avenue, sixth
A.; Madison Street, seventh B; Mon
mouth Street, sixth A; Seventh Ave
nue., sevnth B; Summer Place, sixth
B.; Waverly Place, sixth B. At the
Avon Avenue School a new class,
eighth A, will be added, making this a
full grammar school. The balance of
the twenty-six new classes will be
divided among the lower grades.
There will be eighty-four new teach
ers at the various schools, including
several for special classes such as
gymnastics, cooking and other special
courses. Fifty-three teachers have
either resigned or been granted fur
loughs. There will be a new principal
at the Roseville Avenue School, Harry
F. Stauffer, of Millville, succeeding
Miss Scarlet in that capacity.
The large number of new teachers
that will be necessary will make 1t
possible to appoint all the recent grad
yates of the Normal School to positions,
while a number of teachers on the ELI
gible list will be appointed to the
higher grades.
