SCHOOL PROBLEMS
CONFRONT BOARD
Building for Tubercular Stu
dents a Necessity at Open
ing of Fall Term
BRYANT BUILDING CROWDED

Detailed problems of school days are
accumulating and will be. taken up at
the first fall session Of the Board OF
Education next Tuesday.
One of the problems will be to find a
new building suitable for the open air
classes for tubercular children. Owing
to certain changes at the Phipps Institute
Il will not be possible to continue the
two open air classes that have been held
there the last FIVE years. Superintend-
ent John P. CARRIER suggests that chill
dren now attending the Beck School he
distributed to other buildings and the
Beck School used for tubercular pupils.
''This method of solving the problem
will be followed only if study Of con-
ditions show it to be feasible" he said
today. 1.-THE Beck School is the only
one suitably located and adaptable for
the work The law forbids children in
the primary stage of tuberculosis to
be put in the same school with well chill
dren. We do have open window classes
for slightly affected pupils in the same
buildings with normal children"
Bryant School Congested
Another problem for the board to set
tie is the crowded conditions at the Bry-
ant School. Last spring the members
voted to transfer all pupils north of
Walnut street to the Barry School,
Fifty ninth and Race streets. But resi-
dents of that section have filed petit
tion asking the board to rescind this or
der, because it wou'h necessitate the
children crossing rle street car
tracks on Market an .xtieth streets.
"There are only two things to choose
from" said Doctor CARRIER, in discus
sing the problem. eff the parents want
their children to attend school all day
they must send them to the Barry
School, where there are vacant rooms
and accommodations. If they prefer to
/, keep them at the Bryant and have only
part time classes that can be ar
ranged!'
