ask for more at this time But it should be clearly
understood that 100000 Will not come anywhere near
meeting the needs of Chihuahua. The Franklin and
Aov schools are both so hopeessy out Of date, made
ouate in every way and unfit, if not actually unsafe
that both should be razed to the ground and replaced
with a modern school plant.
A suitable school plant for Chihuahua would
quire at least city blocks Of ground-hree or four

The school board estimates that for the school year
1856 there will be $1,000 children to be provided for
in school Allowing for all who would not attend public
schools even under the compulsory law 1t Is estimated
that by September 1916, when the compulsory law goes
into effect there will still be at least 1900 to be ae-
commodated IN the public schools In its report to
the council the board says: with enrolment Of $500
children schools greatly overcrowdee, and 1t has
been necessary to require two to three sessions daily
in order accommodate the children who applying
for education"
The board might have gone further and said that
the average daily attendance Is only slightly over $780,
and that any system of two to three sessions daily"
inevitably inadequate schooling for those whose
night education IS thus partially denied It means
