TEACHERS FOR
 CITY SCHOOLS
Board of Trustees Choose Able Staff for 1912-13; New School Law Gives Added Power; To Estab fish Kindergartens.

City Superintendent of Schools Lo- per has been busy since the ending of the term with matters of statistic interest concerning the schools of this city.
 During the school year just closed thirtNthree hundred pupils have been enrolled and the work carried forward upon a larger and more satisfactory sc"le than any preceding twelve months under the administration of Superintendent LOper.
 Under the new school law, many of the good features of which were rec commended or drawn by Mir. Loper, the authority and scope of the trus- tees is still further extended. more funds will be available if necessary, and the future holds much of prom fse
 One of the attractive features of the new bill is the elimination of the old fashioned town hall mass meeting system of securing an eX- pression of opinion from the voters Of the district
 Several times during the past few years efforts have been made to SC cure such expression as to the pro- posed sale of the present site of the Central school house, and each time the meeting has developed into a near riot because of the efforts of one side ol the other to control and organize tho meeting which was not repre- sentative in any instance of the de- sire of the majority of the people of the district Under the new school law this and other questions will be determined at q regularly called cleo ton, and while mass meetings may he held it is provided that the prcsi- dent of the board of trustees shall preside, thus doing aW"y with an mseemly scramble for control
 It is becoming increasingly apparent that the days of the Central school building are numbered. The unfit ness of the structure for school pur- poses, and the undcsirability of it's location are such that speedy cog niZanCe must be taken of the situa- tion: in fact it would surprise no one if the property is disposed of with ing the next year md the funds ap- piled to the erection of handsome modern school houses upon more de- sirabe sites
 The new school law provides for segreg ltion; indeed requires such segregation so this disturbing ghost is laid by legislative mandate
 An experiment is to be made next fall by the establishment of two kindcrgartens in connection ,Nith the public schol system of the city. one of these will be located in the Washington street building at the corner of Ninth md Washington streets where there is a large Mex jean attendance and where the effect of the kindergarten upon these pu- pills will be watched with interest
 The other school will be in the northern residential portion of the city where the foreign representa- ton is light. The latter school will
 be held in a portable building in the possession of the board and which will be placed at convenient pl: ce
 to be selected later
 The teachers institute this year will be held early in September. pre- ceding the regular opening of the fall term which occurs on the third Monday of that month. Heretofore the institute has been held during fair week. necessitating weeks va cation tt that time. Now school will be continued during the time of the state fair with the exception of q day or two for the children to witness the wonders of track and exhibition hall
