SCHOOL NOTES
The Willmar Schools will open
Tuesday morning September 9TH.

|
Tuesday morning September 9TH.
A meeting of the teachers of the
school will be held in the Senior High
School auditorium Monday September
3, at 2:30 p. m. All teachers must be
present at this meeting.
All persons wishing to room or
board teachers should telephone or
write to the superintendent giving de-
tails and prices. A list of the differ
ent places will be given to the teach
| ers as soon as they arrive. Last year
many of the teachers searched for ov-
err week before they found suitable
accommodations. Hence the assis-
lance of citizens in solving this prob
lem will be welcomed.
1t is difficult in city like Willmar
where people move about so much, to
tell exactly where the different grades
will be located until school has open
ed. At present we plan The following
grades for the different buildings:
Senior high school, 3-4-1O-11-12 Normal
Junior High School, 7-8 and g.
Central Building, LIST to 9Th, inclusive.
Industrial Building. 9Th grade only.
Lincoln Building, LIST and End.
Garfield Building, 1928 and T.
Lafayette Building, 1st to 9Th, inclus.
Judging by last years enrolment
there will be first grades and Sec
Ond grades in the Lincoln School max
ing it necessary to bring the 3rd and
4th grades over to the Central group
and putting them into the new rooms
which are now being fitted up for that
purpose. There will be no school in
the Library basement the coming
year but the fifth grades will be placed
in the Central grade building upstairs.
The former 8th grade room is being
partitioned off so that two grades can
be put there instead of one. The
basement of the Industrial building
and the sewing rooms will be turned
over to the industrial classes and the
grades which occupied them placed in.
the Central Building. Most of these
changes should have been made long
ago but the congested condition of
the school did not permit it,
coming year as based upon last years
attendance is as follows:
list grade-200.
End grade-185.
3rd grade-130.
4th grade
9Th grade-l30.
9th grade-115.
9TH grade-115.
Sth grade-140.
9th grade-110.
10th grade-85.
18th grade-60.
18th grade-50.
This makes a total Of 1855 for the
grades proper and 305 for the high
school or 1860 for the entire school.
The Willmar Schools are growing rap
idly and the greatest congestion is
found in the Lincoln School where
there was an enrolment of 80 in the
| first grade last year. It is evident
that new buildisg should be erected
| in east Willmar very soon. The av-
erage enrolment per grade teacher
| last year was Al.
Seven teachers have been added to
the force for the coming year, making
located as follows: Bird grade, 3-4
grades, 4th. grade, seth. grades, Prin-
Junior H. S., Commercial Dept. and
Physical Education, Dept. The three
latter teachers will head the new de-
partments which are being added to
the school, Explanation of the work
of these departments will be given
