REASONS WHY 1T is NECESSARY
TO ENLARGE WARD BUILDINGS

Following is statement made 10
the people of Ardmore by members
Of the board of education:
The board of education regrets that
it is necessary to ask the people of
Ardmore to vote an additional bond
issue. 1T is imperative that the ca
pacity of the wards be increased, for
the following reasons;
First-The census enrolment shows
that we have $50 children OF scholas-
tic age more than we had year ago
This increase has largely come dur.
ing the last six months, or an aver
age of something like 100 pupils per
month. Doubtless before September
there will be 1000 children more
than there were last September.
Second-At the present time there
are a number of rooms where the
teachers have in regular attendance
from Go to 70 children. Such crowded
conditions endanger the health of the
children and make it impossible for
the teacher to give the children the
instruction which they deserve.
Third-Our experience during the
year has shown that some of the
rooms based on the present scholastic
population do not have enough seats
in them to actually accommodate the
students in that particular grade, and
all the seats are placed in the rooms
that can be. Our present buildings
are therefore inadequate for the scho-
lastlc population as it exists today
without taking into consideration any
increased population that may come
from month to month or year to year.
We have considered the various
ways in which additional room might
be given and the board has decided
that it is better and more economical
to add additions to the four ward
buildings than to undertake to build
a new building.
In the first place, we already own
the ground on which the additions
will be built and the expense of q
site is therefore eliminated and also
the expense of one of the walls In
addition to this it will not require
an extra principal for ward build
ing and the additions should be at
tached to the present school buildings
because it makes the location at the
proper places in the various wards.
The idea of the board is to build
four additional rooms to each OF the
ward buildings together with ap-
proaches, Railways and stairways,
two rooms below and two rooms
above. Also, when this addition is
made to so construct two of the
rooms in each of the wards so that
sliding door of some kind will be
provided for to form a partition in
such a way that it can be removed,
throwing the TWO rOOHls together lOi
auditorium purposes.
The architect has been at work on
these additions for quite a while
and the least amount that will pro-
vide for the additions, together with
the heating system, sJarways ana
furniture, is approximately $4,000.
He was instructed to use every econ
omy possible in making the plans in
order that all money might be saved
that could be in the construction of
the additions. These additions will
increase the seating capacity Of the
ward buildings 80 per cent.
