Movement Started for Another
Building on Quincy Site.
Provide for Two Grades and
Two Years High School.

/ A number of the residents OF tne
/ Quincy school district are working for
another building on the Quincy school
! site The building is to accommodate
the seventh and eighth grades, which
are now being held in the present
! building and will contain classrooms
enough that it will be possible to hold
the first two years of high school in
! North Topeka.
According to the residents there are
at the present time more than fifty
students in North Topeka who are at
! tending the Topeka high school who
/ have more than two miles to walk. A
| number of the residents of North To-
peka wish to include the seventh and
! eighth grades of Quincy, Grant and
! Mckinley in the proposed new build
| ing.
! The prevailing opinion is that North
Topeka, with its 10000 population,
should have a high school within easy
reach of it's children.
| North Topekan figures that the
| fifty children who have the two miles
! to walk or ride every day, generally
ride the street car, and during the nine
months of school it costs the parents
no less than $1,000 for car fare. Both
Grant and Quincy schools are over
crowded and the people who are max
ing this request think that under these
conditions it is very modest.
The plan is meeting the general APP
prevail of most every one in North To-
peka, and while it has assumed no
definite proportions it is expected that
the movement will be materialized
within short length of time.
