The teaching staff and superintend
ent of the city schools have been busy
getting the schools organized for the
best working conditions. 1t has been
quite a task, owing to the increase in
the number of pupils and the INSULT
Gent number of teachers and lack of
adequate school room.
lt has been found necessary to di-
vide grades into sections, add recita-
tlon rooms, and order additional seats
to the assembly room of the high
school,
Added to other problems. grade
teachers have been busy selecting ma
terial for school exhibits at the conn
ty fair.
Changes Necessary
Because of crowded conditions. it
mas been necessary to make some
changes. The kindergarten of the
west side building will meet tempo
rarliy IN basement room of the
building, which is being repaired and
made suitable for the purpose. The
large overflow in the second grade of
the west side has made it necessary
to divide this grade into two sections
the second section to meet in the old
room. The teacher,
Margaret Eimon, is now here.
The seventh and eighth grades Of
the junior highschool were also
crowded, necessitating a third divis-
ion there. Miss Margaret Garrity is
now in charge of the new section.
To provide sufficient class room for
the highschool, it became necessary
to change the text book library on the
1rst t1oor to the second floor to make
It available for recitation purposes.

There were 216 seats in the assem-
)ly room of the highschool last wear

present enrolment, therefore, the
school board has ordered two dozen
more seats for immediate use.
