SELECT MANY new TEACHERS
Board Hears Interesting Report of the
Work of the Recreation Department
of the Schools Rendered by Superin-
tendent David r. Fogwell.

ton fought shy of naming the new
Collins street school at the sessions of
the board on Tuesday evening and the
whole matter was laid over indefinitely.
it is understood that no action will be
taken in the matter until after the
bonds for the building Of the school
have been sold. 1t is just possible that
the fact that bonds are to be sold Co
paw for the school will result in its be-
ing definitely called "The Collins
Street School 4" This is the name CIV
en- to it in the ordinance calling for the
issuance Of the bonds and it is just
possible that the purchasers of the
bonds will have the naming power in
stead of the board of education. Often
bond owners object to any change of
name in school buildings on which they
hold bonds and this may be the case
with the Collins street school. In any
event the naming of the school will not
be taken up by the board for a long
time. The name plate will not be need
ed until some time next year and there
will be plenty of time for rival claim
ants for the honor to present their
claims to the board.
Many new teachers were named by
the board of education. III. HI. Kopp-
lin was advanced to the manual train
ing department in the high school to
succeed Jesse Moore, who resigned his
position, and Herman Valeski, a grad
uate of the Stout Manual Training
school was named to take the place of
Mr. Kopplin. The resignation of Miss
Margaret Alder, a grade teacher, was
accepted and it is understood that she
will teach in Racine next year.
Miss Joanna A. Lingonblad was nam
ed as teacher of the open air school.
Grade teachers elected included Misses
Mae Collins, Irene Donahue, Helen
Hewitt Ora Harmon, Marjorie Toner.
Miss Nuna T. Callaghan, who has been
teaching cooking during the absence of
Miss Pirsch, will be retained as an adj
ditional teacher il this department.
David r. Fogwell rendered a most
interesting report of the recreation de-
partment of the schools The report
follows:
"Tn September, the first thing done
was to organize leagues Of outdoor
games. Five soccer football, one volley
ball, one BASKETBALL and two baseball
leagues, and about fifty other games
were arranged. These amounted to two
hundred games with the possible total
number taking part as thirty-fve humid
red The fans turned out in force to
see ell the games, and the total number
of fans, would, by very conservative
estimate, be oyer ten thousand.
The numbers attending social centre
during the eightyfour days Balm
school was opened for that purpose,
totaled 1929. Attendance at Weis-
kopf clubs 600. The children of Weis-
kopf, Columbus and Frank used halls
or auditoriums for practicing games af-
ter school Estimated attendance 5000
Balm school boys won the soccer cham
pionship. Balm school girls won the
volley ball championship Weiskopf
school boys won the basketball cham.
pionship Baseball unfinished, but still
progressing favorably.
I supervised the distribution of two
thousand apple trees given by the Bar
den Store Company to two thousand
children of the schools.
About one thousand children ordered
seeds for gardens The Retailers As
ISOLATION made possible, the garden and
home identifying contests, having sci
aside $4,000 for prizes.
The coming of the Chautauqua dur
ing the Home Coming week should
mean great deal to the public
recreation movement, the commission
ers will help the fund for furtherine
the work.
1T is the plan to use the grounds and
portables at Balm, Columbus, Durkee
and Gillett schools for play purposes
beginning July 1st The grounds al
Durkee and Gillett schools are sadly II
need of leveling and surfacing.
The play festival to be given by the
public school children will be carried
out on Friday, june 18th, if the wealth
erman permits
