TO QUIT CITY gALL SOON
New Quarters Will Furnish Room for
ALI Business Activities of the Schools
And May Be Used for Meetings of

Kenosha schools are going to have an
absolute divorce from the City Hall in
the very near future, as announcement
is made today that Capitalization of all
the business management of the
schools of the city will be provided by
the use of the old College Of Commerce
building on Sheridan Road as the
central business office Of the school
system. In this building in the future
will be located the offices of the super
intendent, the Office of the clerk of the
Board Of Education, and Of the various
other people employed other than in
teaching capacities. The entire, cen
trally located building, will be given
over to the business of the Board of
Education and the schools. Large
storage rooms will be provided for the
storage of the paper and books pur-
chased for the schools and it will be
possible to have these stores all main
tanned under one roof where it Will be
easier to KEEP track of shens.
For long time the rooms occupied
| by the schools in the City Hall have
/ been too small to meet the demands of
the school work. With constant growth
of the school system these rooms have
been proven entirely too small for the
business management The taking
over Of the College of Commerce build
ing offers a splendid solution. The
vacating of the rooms at the City Hall
will make it possible for the City Coun-
Gil to provide an office and private Of
fee for the Mayor of the city without
seriously disturbing the exemption
board which has occupied the Office
set aside for the Mayor.
It is expected that the moving of
the school offices from the City Hall
to the new central headquarters will
take place before the end of the
present month The new headquarters
building is now being renovated and
put into condition for the new use to
which it is to be put. It is not thought
that large expenditure will be neces,
sary to have the building fitted for
use as Offices.
The Commercial High School which
has held its sessions in the old college
building will be taken back to the
Central High School with the opening
of the new school year.
On the ground floor at the head
quarters building will be special offices
for the superintendent, the clerk Of the
board and others connected with the
big work of keeping the statistical
records of the schools and issuing the
| labor permit to the children. There
will also be in the building offices for
the school nurses and other employees
of the school board in charge of special
work. The large hall on the second
floor Of the building will be maintain
ed and it will be used for the regular
meetings Of the principals and other
school heads which are held frequent
" throughout the year. The room is
also large enough for the regular meet
ings of the Board of Education and it
is probable that after the first of Sep
TENDER that these meetings will be held
at the new school headquarters.
Additional room for the handling Of
the rapidly increasing business inter
ests Of the school will aid materially in
making possible better handling of all
work connected with the schools.
