FIELD SCHOOL MAY
HAVE TO BE OPENED
INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE is
LIKELY TO NECESSITATE
USING BUILDING.

There is a probability that the
Field school will yet be oepned, al
though 1t is against the wishes of the
school board. So great, however, has
been the increase in the primary
grades at the Washington and Haw-
thorne schools that the situation al
most demands some relief, relief
that can only be secured through the
opening of another room.
In the primary grade of the Wash
ington school, there are now 50 pu-
pills, "A of whom are new beginners
this year. At the Hawthorne school
there are SO. Such classes are just
| about twice as large as they should
be, inasmuch as beginning pupils re-
quire a great deal of individual at
tention. II the congestion occurred
only in the Hawthorne school, II
could be relieved by transferring part
of the class TO the Lincoln school,
where there are only about ten begin
ners. However. it is out of the ques-
ton to send pupils in the far east
end of the city across the river to the
Lincoln school
The directors have been very averse
to reopening the Field school because
| OF the condition of the building Ii
was largely through their representa-
tion that the building of a bridge
| would do away with this school that
the Star street bridge was decided up
on but they are now facing a situa-
tion they could not foresee. The in
crease in the primary grades has been
unprecedented and the end is not
yet. t,S
The board will hold a meeting
probably tomorrow evening when
some decision will doubtless be reach
ed. Should the school be reopened,
probably 20 pupils will be sent there
from each of the two congested
schools and a new teacher secured to
take charge of them. -.
1t is said that number of par
ents have been refusing to send their
smaller children to school because
the Field school had not been open
ed. The board, however has been
unwilling to accede to their wishes
merely because the Field school hap
pened to be more conveniently sit
uated but now that more room is ne
cessary, they will probably take ac-
tion which will not only relieve the
crowded condition Of the other schools
but also appease some of the COM
planning parents.

prompt response to the cry of distress

General Nelson A. Miles of the United
