Plenty of Ground For School

The citizens of Woodstown and Piles
grove voted last week to buy the Riley
lot across the railroad, near the station
for their new school building. The lot
comprises eight acres at a cost OF S., 900.
The election was the largest school meet
ing ever held. 63l men and women voted,
The Riley lot received 81 majority over
Bacon Academy site.
The Board of Education thought that a
$75, 900 building should be erected on the
Riley lot, but the $55, 900 proposed for
the Bacon side was carried by 344 to Is
against.
So ~Pilesgrove and Woodstown, which

for about 500 children. How much is
needed tor $50 in P1nns Grove is a prob
lem in the old-fashioned rule of three.
In lS41 Joseph Guest sold a half
acre of land for old Harmony School. The
district extended from the river to the
Barber road, first cross roads beyond the
Emmanuel Church, to the OIdmans
Township line. In 184l there were about
twenty houses in that territory and about
eIhiby CisiluIcH.
II a half acre was needed for thirty
children in lS4l, how many acres are
needed now for $50? Interesting problem
in rule of three.
In 1873 when the -four room building,
the old part OF the present building, was
erected about all third of an acre more
was bought. In 1906 when the last four
rooms were erected about a third acre
more was bought. Two years ago about
six tenths OF an acre was bought on

ing about an acre and a three quarters in
Guiding the streets.
How much more land should Penns
Grove have for school purposes at the
proportion Woodstown has acquired.
Nice problems in proportion for persons
who believe in providing for children.
Why should not school children
have a place to play besides the streets
and private property?
These questions are given to arouse
thought. Will some one work out these
problems for us?
