that he would like to hear an ex-
preston from the board on the sub
Ject. He said that he would like tC
see the pool and gym made available
Tor women and children; that they
were provided by the taxpayers and
the people should have the use OF
them. He referred to the fact that
these facilities were available at Kel-
logg and Mullan and that there was
no reason in his opinion why Wallace
should not have the same.
President Mackey called upon J.. T..
Hanley member of the school board,
who said that it was an old subject
with the board. He pointed out that
the gym and swimming pool at Kel-
logg and Mullan were not provided
by the school board and as much as
the Wallace board would like to do
so, there We're no funds available for
the purpose. Besides, under the law
the school board had no authority to
provide these facilities for the public
Even now he said the board is con
fronted with shortage OF funds to
maintain the school, and that FOR this
reason it will probably be necessary
to eliminate the kindergarten and the
manual training next year. Mr. Han
ley stated that a petition from the
ladies' board of trade had been pre-
sented to the board asking that the
plunge and gym be opened for public
use during the summer, but the board
could not grant the request unless
some arrangement could be made TO
do so without expense to the school
district
S. L. Shonts said the indoor plunge
was not desirable for children and
that swimming pool should be out of
doors in order to have the benefit of
the sunshine. He had previously
stated that the council had under
consideration providing a pool by the
placing of a dam across Placer creek |
This closed the discussion and no for
NAL action was taken.
