The schools of Kenosha did not open
in common with other schools through
out the state this morning, but the
opening will take place on next Mon
day morning. Superintendent Mrs.
Mary d. Bradford and members of the
school board have been busy working
out plans to take care of all of the
children pending the re-opening of all
the rooms in the Frank school and the
matter has been taken care of as well
as could be expected and without eli
mination of any of the pupils from
school benefits.
The Kindergarten children caused
the most trouble to the superintendent
and members of the board. In the
DurlSee and Deming school districts the
kindergarten will be in session, not for
the half day as formally, but during
the entire day. The cider children,
those who attended last year, and who
will be ready for promotion at the mid
die of the year will attend in the morn
ing and the beginners in the afternoon.
Miss Austin will be in charge at the
Durkee school and Miss Foxwell at the
Deming.
The kindergarten at the Frank school
will not be opened until October LIST at
which time it is expected that all the
rooms in the old building will be used.
Miss Vernon will be in charge.
1t will be impossible to open kin
dergarten at the Central school at this
time as all of the rooms will be needed
for grade and high school use and the
board will wait until the completion
of the Frank school provides for the
accommodation of the older children or
until they can be placed in other and
more convenient schools. The inconl
venience of the small children and their
parents in the central district is re-
GREETED, but nothing can be done ex-
cept to enter the kindergarten children
at the Weiskopf or Durkee schools ac-
cording TO their convenience of loca-
tion.
The Weiskopf kindergarten will be
in charge of Miss Volkman, a new
teacher who comes to Kenosha after
three years of experience and with an
excellent training for her work. She
is teacher of more than average must
cal ability and it is expected that the
Weiskopf kindergarten will be made
decidedly attractive. Kindergartens
at the Balm and Columbus schools will
be open as during last year with Miss
Schoenberger and Miss Finnan in
charge. Miss Hood will be in charge
of the kindergarten at the Gillette
school.
Parents Of grade children who have
been attending the Frank school will
observe the following directions.
The northwest room on the first floor
and the northwest room on the second
floor of the Frank school will be ready
for use on next Monday morning.
Children promoted from the kindergar-
tens to first B grade, of which Miss Ma
bel Lampe is the teacher, and those
promotd from Miss Carter room to
the second grade will use these rooms
at the Frank school.
Pupils promoted to the third and
fourth grades will go to the Deming
school where rooms have been fitted up
for temporary accommodation. Miss
Lulu Lampe and Mrs. Williams are the
teachers in charge,
Pupils promoted from Miss Lampe S
room to Miss Carter's room the A grade
will, if living north of the North
western Railway track, go to the Balm
school, if living south of the track
so to the Deming or Central school
as is convenient. They will be gather
cd together again with Miss Carter at
the Frank school just as soon as the
building is ready.
The members of the board of educa-
ton are sending out this information
early and it is hoped by these officials
that the parents and children viii fully
understand the conditions and that
there will no confusion when school
re-opens next Monday. 1t is the plan
of the members of the board and the
superintendent to take care of every
child in the city entitled to use of
Che public school.
