cHAuTAUoUA TO BE HELD ON
CENTRAL SCHOOL GROUNDS.

The Manchester chautauqua will
probably be held on the Contra
school grounds instead OF at Tir
rill,s park as heretofore. The loca
committee having charge Of the mat
ter has practically decided upon the
change. The main chautauQua ten'
this year will be much larger and
it would be practically impossible to
erect 1t in Thrills park without
removing some of the beautiful trees
there. ( 4. 5s "a NJ. s;4 .f-a.
Another reason fora making the
change was recently advanced by a
representative OF the Redpath Chau-
tauqua system. He urged that it
was unsafe to crowd horses, auto
mobiles and pedestrians together on
West Union street, it being the
single thoroughfare leading to and
from the park. The narrowing of
the streets and the construction OF
the cement curbing has rendered the
travelled portion of this street alto-
gether too narrow to accomodate the
large number of vehicles that con-
gest the street adjoining the park
during the sessions Of the chautauqua.
Leading to and from the Central
school square, there are eight public
thoroughfares.
A further reason for the change is
said to be he saving of the ground
rental, the school board having sig
nified its intention to allow the
chautauaua to be held on the school
grounds without charge, on the
theory that It is an educational in
stitution and should be encouraged
ana assisted by the community in
this way.
Chautauquas are to be held on the
school grounds Of the following.
cities in Iowa: Independence, WAY
erly, Grundy Center, West Liberty,
Mt. Pleasant, Eldora, Forrest City,

COMPILING ANNUAL
SCHOOL REPORT
LARGEST HIGH SCHOOL IN STATE
IN PROPORTION TO PoPu-
LATIoN.
MANY PUPILS FROM OUTSIDE ClTY
Among High School Students Enroll
ed, "a are Non-Residents
and 1870 Resident. Pupils.

From the annual report which Sup
erintendent ]. R. Inman is compiling,
and which covers the work OF the
school for the year 1912 and 1913,
some information is taken which will
prove Of interest to the patrons OF
the school and tax payers Of the In,
dependent District Of Manchester:
The report shows that there have
been enrolled In the High school de-
partment during the year, 81 boys
and 1T girls, a total OF 214 pupils.
Compared with other High schools
Of Iowa, as reported by the depart
ment OF Public Instruction. the re-
port shows that Manchester has the
largest High school in Iowa in pro
portion to population. spenc~-a a'-:s.s : : 9
| a High school which compares favor
ably with. the local school. Our High
school IS larger than many in towns
two and three times larger than Man
chester.
There have been enrolled 81 non
resident pupils and 13O resident pu-
pills. Not counting the nonresident
pupils our High school is as large or
larger than those Of most cities Of
Manchester's population.
There has been collected between
$500 and $40O tuition, from nom
resident pupils in the grades, be
low the High school. &
The report shows that the districts
or townships Of Delaware county will
pay to the Independent District this
year, $2,S95.53 as their portion OF
teachers and contingent expense for
nonresident pupils in the High
school. Added to this $500 state aid
received eor maintaining the normal
training course the district will re-
5eive practically s3,4oO; from
sources other than taxation, to as
slst in maintaining the High school.
There are eight teachers. exclusive
Of the superintendent, employed IN
the High school. The total amount
OF their salaries for this year amounts
to $4,5S5. A glance at the report
shows that there will be received
this year, if all were turned into
the teachers fund, enough to pay
six OF the eight teachers. Y
The actual average cost per pupil
for teachers and contingent may be
charged up to the districts or town
ships sending the pupils. About $3.50
Of the $2.S95.53 paid by the town
ships has been paid into the con-
tingent fund.
The country districts are now COM
PEELED by law to furnish free to ev-
cry hoy and girl the advantages OF
a High school education. They are
able by taking advantage Of the op-
portunity offered by the local High
school to furnish this education to
their pupils at a much lower cost
than they can maintain a High
school, of their own in their respect
i've districts. For illustration, Cot
fins Grove township is sending q
pupils to the local. High school and
their total account for tuition is
less than $500. Many towns are
maintaining High schools with a
much smaller enrolment than TWEEN Wen
ty-one. $500 per year would not
pay one-third the expense Of main
tanning an accredited High school.
