There are now six school buildings
in the four districts in the town of
Crandon. A very goodlm odern frame
building was erected in Dist No. A,
near John Yates on ths Wolf river,
which complies with the state aid re-
quirements in everything except their
heating and ventilation. The Chin
ney, jacket and intake will need some
changes, that might have been made
at the time of installation had the
cnanty superintendent correspon-
dence been answered by the clerk.
A small modern frame building was
built in Dist. No. 8, two miles east OF
the Court House. Had this bnilding
been made four or six feet wider, Z 1T
would have accommodated the children
III that vicinity for years, but the
chances are that more room will be
needed in the near future, and it is
impossible to enlarge a building six
teen feet wide so as to have a satisfac-
tory school room except by an addition
to the side of the building. The most
convenient school rooms are nearly
square. They have installed the Hart
system of heating and are preparing to
make application for the special state
aid, which they have received for two
years on their other school
The school building in Dist. NdS at
Siding One, is crowded far beyond it's
capacity and no tea-ner can do effec-
tive work there under present condi-
tions. If the people of the district
wish to get adequate returns for the
money expended, they should call
meeting in the near future and provide
for n addition to the present building
making it two room graded school
In Dist. No. 4, just west of the city
limits, they have a splendid, capacious
model brick building which / believe
is the most costly rural school building
in the county. They transport sixteen
children living north of the city MAX
ing their enrolment about fifty, but as
the seventh and eighth grade pupils
attend the city schools there are fewer
recitations on the program than are
found on many programs where the
enrolment is less than twenty five.
The building and physical conditions
-, ko Nh o1C
isfactory. The buildings at Nashville
station are not suitable for school pur
poses and should not be in use after
the close OF the present school year.
The primary room is badly overcrowd-
ed and theNighting and ventilation is
so bad as to be a positive menace to
the health of the children. The build
ing in Dist. No, 2, near Lake Metonga,
needs some repairs and a good heating
and vcntilating system.
| accompanied the recently appoint
ed graded school inspector, w. E. An
derson, in his inspection of the North
Crandon and Laona schools Last year
the North Crandon graded school failed
to receive the $500 special state aid,
but this year we found conditions very
satisfactory there and the inspector
gave themA "a favorable report. Five
comfortable rigs are employed to
transport the children who live some
distance from school. They have nine
teen pupils enrolled in the high school
and employ two teachers
The town # Laona maintains high
school, a state graded school, and 3
rural schools. Two rigs are employed
for transporting pupils. Some time
after the annual meeting, the board
was notified that there was fifteen
children four miles south of Cavour at
Duff's mill in need of a school. An
agreement was made by the provisions
of whichlMr Duff constructed a tenn
porary building and the district fur
nished teacher. 1t has been found
that part of the Laona building has no
ventilation to speak of and the matter
should be attended to at the next an
7ual meeting. The Blackwell building
is also in need of heating and ventil
atiug system.
The town of Wabeno maintains a
high school, state graded school, a
two-room graded school at Carter, and
six rural schools. A new modern
frame building was built at Padus to
replace the old building whichAwas to
small to accommodate the forty pupils
enrolled there good system of heat
ing and Ventilation was installed and
the children now work under favorable
conditions. Two other rural schools
