No better idea OF the fallacy OF the
small school buildings with which
this city seems to be infested can be
obtained than by a trip to the Bright
wood Park School, at Ninth and In
graham streets northwest, with an ac-
companying survey OF the territory
which it is supposed to cover.
This building is located on the edge
of a territory which is developing to
its west. To the east OF 1t may be
seen acres and acres of land, which in
a year or two certainly will have
dwellings. many OF them housing lit
tile children to be educated in the pub
lie schools.
Where will they go? That 10 the big
question, for the school, a small, four
loom building, is now fast outgrow-
ing itself Today there are only six
more seats than the school population
calls for. And this number is made
up only of children for the six lower
grades. The school has no seventh
grade or an eighth. When the chill
dren get that high they have to
branc out into other territory, some
distance south to Petworth or Park
' le" StHOOiS, OF 10 the " est SChOOl
Basement Room Used.
The present population in the six
lower grades, too. is only handled
by using one of the basement rooms
for this purpose. This building is
of the old English type of building
where the basement is on the
ground floor. Here when the school
was built, provision was made for
a manual training room. But it has
never been used for this purpose.
and finally the pressure of children
seeking admittance to the school
forced the school officials to set this
room aside for a class room. max
ing five rooms for the use of the
six grades and a kindergarten.
The classes arc all large. averag-
ing about forty-siX. as will be in
dictated by figures which show tina;
there are now attending the school
pa children. with total number
of seats in the building of eco.
So it will be seen that this small
building is travelling on very
close margin at this time. and
should building operations be re-
sumed in this territory in the
spring. the school officials will have
a big problem on their, hands in the
fall. unless some provision is made
for an addition. There is largo
lot adjoining the school, already the
property of the government. No
recommendations have been made
for any addition to this building.
The building has no special features.
such as assembly hall where the chill
dren may gather for group instruc-
ton or for celebration.

school is located in a section with
wonderful possibilities for develop

now is going on there. 1t takes in

tend from across the line in Mary
land.
Although looked upon as one of the
country schools" of the District, it is
very good building of modern con-
struction. 1t has four class rooms and
two basement rooms. The very fact
| that it is located in an isolated spot
probably gains for it some features
not found in the schools in the
| thickly populated sections of the city.
1t has sewing. cooking and manual
training classes one day a week
right in the building. The small boys
play room is used for manual train
ing and the girls play room is used
for cooking and sewing.
With a very large furnace in each
of these rooms. and with additional
space taken up by the work benches
for carpenter instruction and stoves
and sewing table for instruction of
the girls, very little space is left for
the use of the children on bad days
when they must confine their playing
to indoors.
Eight Grades EstabIished.
The school has eight of the sixteen
grades which make UP the course of
study in the District schools. This is
made possible by making the teachers
instruct in two or three different
grades. For instance, the principal
81 this school is required to teach
pupils at the sixth. seventh and
eighth grades. all in one room. The
fourth and fifth grades are under one
teacher. as also are the second and
third grades. Ii will be seen .fIem
this that the teacher has to carry
three courses of study for the benefit
of these pupils.
At the present time there are 16S
children attending the school, which
leaves only six seats now unoccupied
and to take care of any increase
which may come in February or in
the following fall term. The increa Sc
in attendance this year over last
amounted to twenty-one pupils. 1t
would seem from this that unless
some steps are immediately taken to
increase this class room space here
some of the children of the section
certainly will be unprovided for next
year il the increase is anything like
that of this year. IL any large home
building operations take place in this
section in the spring and summer
there is likely to be very crowded.

Of the year.
The classes now are large. run

eight children. The average size
class which can be efficiently han

vocational authorities to be about
forty.
Some of the children now attend
ing the school come for a distance
OF two miles across open country.
and il the increase of the next
term comes upto that of this. they
probably will have to see their edu-
