trecht High school, and one Tor Viz

More shops for Crockett Vocational
school. In order to accommodate the
children in excess of seating capacity IN
10 schools under the usual plan OF school
organization, S5 additional classrooms
are needed, So for the white schools
and 80 for the negro schools.
10 Schools Affected.
These 1s schools are: White schools
A. b. Hill, Cummings, LAauderdaie,
body, Maury. Colored schools-Carnes,
Charles, Kortrecht high school, La Rose
and Virginia avenue. Although the
Charles and Carnes schools at present
haze no classes In excess of c~lassroorns,
vet they are included in this group be-
cause the general sanitary conditions
are such that the classrooms shUDld not
be used unless relief Is afforded. The
| Charles school is not fit for occupancy
| and a morgue directly back of CarneS
makes the school unfit for children un
less the morgue is removed or a new
site chosen. Kortreeht hagh school haS
been included because 1t is a combila-
ton Of elementary n high school, and
although theer are excess classroomS,
the building Is so situated and <of such
a character that the children should
be transferred to a new building at
the earliest possible moment. In other
wordN conditions in these buildings are
so d%eplorable that the classrooms should
not be considered as "available," and
additional accommodations should be
provided for them In any adequate pro-
gram.
1850, 900 is needed, according to the re-
port.
TO the question of classrooms alone
must be added the pressing need for
facilities, such as shops, laboratories
nature study rooms and the like.
Meet New Problems.
A sum of $50. 900 should be expended
at once for repairs to buildings needed
at once, the report concludes.
The work study play plan Is dwelt
on at length in the preliminary report,

New Schools, Additions and
Repairs SuggeSted-.WOrk-
Study-PI Plan Given as
Alternative.

To put the Memphis school system
in proper shape in the housing of pupils
for immediate needs and to provide for
growth Of the city for eight years hence
as should be done, viii require the ex-
penditure OF $4,000, 900. 10 meet the
pressing problem Of congestion with the
$eOOt 900 now available and a possible
W, 000, 600 available two years hence an
emergency building plan is outlined In
a preliminary report of the recent school
survey made to the boaru of educa-
ton by Dr. Frank w, Bunker, Of the
y. ). department of education.
AS the expenditure OF any such sum
as $500, 600 now is u of the ques-
ton, a second method is suggested
which is more likely to be adopted.
The second method, the work study
play plan, which would eliminate the
necessity of all the pupils occupying
classrooms at the same time. In other
words, while some are studying in
work in laboratory shop or domestic
science rooms and in this way the over
taxing of classrooms could be relieved
until such time as the board of educa-
ton through new appropriations has
enough funds to put into action the
more extensive building program as
outlined by the survey.
Briefly the plan is this; A school
Is divided into two parts, each saving
the same number of classes and each
containing all the eight or nine grades.
The first part, which we viii call the
"A school" comes to school in the
morning, say at $50, and goes to class
rooms for academic work. While this
school Is in the classrooms it obviously
a not use any Of the special facilities,
therefore the other school, 'B school, -
goes to the special activities. One
third Of the "B school" goesSto the
auditorium, one-third to the playground
and one-third is divided among such
activities as the shops, laboratories,
drawing and music studios. At the
end of one or two periods, that is,
when the fsrst group of children has
remained, according to the judgment OF
school authorities. in school seats as
long as is good for them at one time,
the "A school, goes to the playground,
auditorium and other special facilities,
while "B aehool' goes to the class
rooms.

ais provide temporary relief Tor the

manent building (one-half the size

started at once and that Temporary
relief only be given Bruce. Furthermore,
IL should be noted. Maury and Madison
Heights are given no relief.
The second plan suggests that a site
for a new building near Peabody be
secured but that only one wing OF the
permanent building be erected at this
time. 1t provides. however, that a per,
manent annex be erected at Bruce. and

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The attention of the public school
patrons of Pennington is again called
to the fact that school will begin in
all departments on Monday morning,
September 8th, and full days session
will be held on that day. Conditions
in and about the buildings are being
put in first-class order and everything
will be ready for a full weeks work.
We are looking forward with much
confidence for the full support and CO.
operation Of all parents in securing II
complete enrolment on the first day.
Notices regarding the new Compul-
sorry Attendance have been posted and
all preliminaries have been complied
with by school authorities. lmmedi-
atcly on the opening Of school I; II chill
drcn whose names are on the enum-
Grafton list will be checked off; pro-
vided the children are enrolled end are
attending school. Those children who
10 not promptly enroll will be report
ed to the County Superintendent, who
will cause the attendance officer to
take the matter in hand, and if neces-
sary, enforce attendance. We do not
anticipate any disposition on the part
of Pennington people, to avade the
law.
Provision has been made to begin
work in all High School classes
promptly Monday morning. This will
necessitate the registration Of high
school pupils the latter part of this
week. The superintendent office will
be open for that purpose.

PACKERS PAY TOP MARKET
PRICE FOR ONLY FEW ANIMALS

How the public may be misled as to
the prices paid by the packers for cat
tie on the hoof is shown by an exami-
nation of the records of sales at the
National Stockyards last week.
AS was explained few days ago
in a review in the Post-Dispatch of
beef sales, purchases and profits, the
figures quoted in the market rejorts
do not accurately represent the bulk
of the sales. 1t is a favorite custom
for the packer to point to the market
figures as showing the high prices ne
has to pay for beef animals on the
hoof. As a matter of fact, these ig-
ures represent the highest prices pad,
whereas only a few animals sell at
those top prices, the great majority
selling for much less.
Last week the stop of the market
was given as 1876 cents a pound. TX
animation shows that Of the $4,000
cattle sold at the yards, only -
brought 1876 cents pound, and that
only 1872 sold for more than Is cents a
pound. 1t further shows that out OF
the. total $4,000, only 2121 sold for
more than IA cents a pound, leaving
a remainder of 33,479 that sold for
prices ranging from around 6.5 cents
a pound to IA cents.
The packer, however, does not al
low such wide difference in the price
of the meat when he sells it. 1t is
true that beef from a 11-cents-a-pound
animal brings as much as that from an
18-cent steer, but the difference IS
considerably less than Z cents pound.
1t is usually nearer cents.
And the hide for a 10-cent quality
animal is usually worth just as much
per pound as that from one that costs
the packer 18 cents pound.

That Uncle Sam does not "kick' ov-
er trihes is illustrated in the fact that
he is going to pay to Great Britain
SS1.75 for every one Of those 1927
900 soldiers who were transported oy-
erseas in English ships to break the
chains that were being forged about
the neck of John Bull. This will
amount to the snug sum of S83,7G72 5O
the United States will pay to Great
Britain for the privilege" of sending
the best American blood to break the
German shackels that were about to
be clamped on English freedom, While
Uncle Sam can well afford this dona-
ton, and while this little "contri-
button" will very materially assist
John Bull to a new pair Of red-topped
boots, the manner of asking for such
a contribution appears altogether in
congruous. 1t is another stirring re-
hinder of the life and death of Jesus
of Nazareth.
