LOO PUPILS TO
ATTEND CENTRAL.
Need Seven New Teachers and
Will Be Compelled to Use
Chapel to Seat Students

With more than LOO students to
attend Central high school this Fall,
according to registration figures, seven
additional teachers will be needed, and
pupils will have to be seated in chapel
and the various laboratories of the
building, DR.. Frederick E. Downes,
city superintendent of schools, eX-
planned to the Board of School Direct
orS in session yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Downes made this statement
when Directors Keene and Yates be-
gan a discussion of the salaries fixed
for the three teachers to be elected for
the Technical high school. His reasons
We're that there will be 100 more fresh
men this year and 60 more seniors at
Central high school; that extra time
will be reduced for the present Cen
trail high school teachers, and that an
Instructor will have TO be provided for
sewing and domestic economy. The
cost Of the new teachers will be about
$4,25O, which, together with the ones
added to the Tech staff, will bring the
total to $500. The natural increases
in the student bodies Of these two
schools makes this necessary.
Overcrowding Unequaled
Overcrowded conditions never equaled
before in the history of city schools
We're explained by DR.. Downes as he
presented his arguments. He then
told that there will be more than 1000
pupils in the two high schools in Sep
tember, according to figures compiled
at the school Board offices.
The three new teachers for Tech,
one to fill vacancy caused by resig-
nation were finally elected. together
with two more teachers for Central to
fill resignation vacancies. Those vot-
ing in favor of the additional teachers
were Directors Enders, Boyer. Bretz,
Boil and President Stamm; opposed.
Directors Houtz, Keene, Werner and
Yates. The objections raised to the
new teachers for Tech were that the
salaries had been fixed above the mini
mum. -

resulted in the directors granting the
use of the Technical high school audi
torium for Monday evening. when DIR.
