The Civic League, city council and citizens generally have been ener- getic in their endeayors to advance the progress of our city by urging the railroads 10 build union depot and viaduct on Forrest street, erecting an EIks home. and many other im- provements, which is very commend able and necessary; but they have lost sight of tie most important need ?f this city We refer to tAe want of more room to accommodate the the school children. The pupils in Crowley Ridge Institute are crowded like sheep in a corral. as is also the col0red school
 The number Of scholars in Crowley Ridge Institute totals 425, of which 90 are in high school 50 in graded departments Number of teaches II. A Il crowded ill an out of date build ing, devoid of comfort or sanitary conyeniences. More rooms and more bCaNlICIS dlt bCttlChs Il Iiu dDOu | TIJ bVo would make Crowley Ridge Institute second to no school in the state, and the advantage to the pupils would be incalculable.
 The crowded condition of the colOred school is a shame, and how the pupils keep as healthy as they do is mystery. In five small, lily ven tilated rooms are crowded 350 chil- dren. Five thousand dollars is needed to build a new schoolhouse in the Cotton Oil Mill distrect.
 Good schools and churches is what attracts the attention of visitors and seekers of homes. Of churches we have plenty-yet some of them need repairs-but who can point with pride to that old shack of a school?
 Who will start the ball rolling to suggest ways and means 10 meet these requirements, which will ben eft the people more than union depot and yiaddct?
