Good REASONS
Why Augusta ShouIdErect
School Building.
Middle Street School Unsan-
liary and Inadequate.
An Array OF Facts For Augusta
Voters to Consider
, the citizens 81 Auguata:


Next Monday evening The annual
school meeting is 70 occur, at which
| time the citizens Of Augusta viii be
asked appropriate funds for new
Grammar school building for the
east eide OF the river 10 replace tie
Middle Street school building. To
aequaint those not now aware nt the
conditions which exist, | take this ops
poriunity to present the situation
somewhat In detail. No question can
better command the consideration of
the people than that pertaining to the
instruction Of young children, the
great majority OF whom must COM
plete their edueation in the city
schools, and lest this request may
seem BY some to be lightly made
call attention 10 a few facts
The reasons are many why the
building should be built but feeling II
now 10 be an absolute Necessity the
arguments in it's favor are briefly
summarized as follows: First, be-
cause of the geperai ovcr-crowGed
condition OF our schools: secondly.
because of the territorial distribution
Of scholars: and finally, because Of
the utter unfitness of the Middle
Street school building. and these rea-
sons can best be seen from a concise
statement under each OF these gem
eral heads.
Over Crowded Condition of Schools.
At the present time the accommo-
dations for grade pupils on the east
side of the river eenstst of the Will
liams Grammar School which has
eight rooms. the Middle Street School
building with two rooms and three
rooms IN the High school building
set apart for the ninth grade of the
entire city. and room for the eighth
grade which was placed there to re-
duce the over crowded condition in
the Williams school. The ninth
grade Includes from the east side Of
the river approximately 81 pupils and
the eighth grade approximately 80,
making a total in the High school
building from the east side Of 20.
Now with the exception Of the ac-
eommodations thus given at the High
school building the number Of school
rooms on the east side Of the river
remains today as it was ten years
ago. when the last provision was
made for housing scholars by an adj
aition TO the Williams School build
ing. At that time. If we ere to ac-
|cept, as an average yearly increase
of scholars on the east side of the
river, "A per cent. or less. If is fair
TO say there We're at least $50 scholars
less to be cared for than there are at
the present time. Therefore. with
this nornous yearly increase showing

Unftness Of Middle Street Building.
In the planning OF a school bnilding
today the most vital problem to be CON
tended with is how to obtain good ven
tiIation. acceptable sanitation and sur
Gcient light for the pupils, these three
factors being foremost IN The thoughts
OF those who have school children un-
der their care. Throughout the schools
of our city the school authorities in re-
cent years have made extensive i'm
provements along these lines and 9th
ers are found necessary and are to be
made, bat tie present building at Mid
die street is bcy ond any Improvement
in any one of these direo tions and The
expenditure of any amount Of money
would be money wasted, as the building
is antiquatea, out Of repair and in no
way ample to install a system OF ven.
tilation. Complaints are frequently
made both from teachers and parents
Of the dnsanitary condition of this
building but Is ancient construction
willadmit Of int slight Improvement
Again, with this building another vi
tai point presents Itself and IT'S nnfor-
tunate effect is readily seen, not from
any theoretical view point but from sta
tisties actually az hand. The building
consists of but two rooms, in both OF
which there are at the. present time two
grades under the care of one teacher
This, owing To the lack Of further
rooms, is found necessary and to all u
lnust be evident that with grades COM
bined IN this way the pupils receive
only one-half of the attention of those
in a grade, where a. teacher can give her
entire time to ore class alone. In our
other schools this condition is not met
and again we see that scholars who are
Obliged 10 attend the Middle street
school are unJustly deprived of the adj
vantages received by children in other
parts Of the CITY. Mr. Marshall i'll his
report of 1911 states that the Middle
street school has the highest per cent
Of relardation, and this he very sensi-
bis attrfbutes TO the fact that some of
the scholars there do- not receive the
amount Of attention given elsewhere.

only be remedied by the erection Of a
