CITY SCHOOLS ARE CROWDED
Over Sixteen Hundred Children Were
Enrolled During Month of Feb
ruary-More Room Is
Needed

The report of superintendent
Vim of the city public schools for
the month of February shows total
enrolment of 1920 children. OF this
number 1878 are within the school
age. that is children between the
ages of and 20 years. This is big
increase over last year and
shows conclusively that if the same
ratio of gain is maintained it is only
matter of short time when other
provisions must be made by the city
for the accommodation of the school
children. An analysis of the present
enrolment will show that the rooms
in the primary and intermediate
grades are now taxed to their fullest
capacity There could be no stronger
argument than this in favor of wa~d
schools superintendent Winn ani
the trustees have given the matter
careful study and they are Of thu
opinion that it would be better 20 es-
tablish ward schools than to add
other rooms to the high school
building. The proposition has been
submitted to the voters of the city
and they are to decide next Saturday
whether or not the city shall issue
bonds in the sum of 5000 for the
erection of ward buildings. Only
property tax payers are qualified to
vote in this election. Those who are
interested in the welfare of tn.
school should see that their ticket
reads For the issuance of bonds.
