TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS
ARE OYERCROWDED
County superintendent Re-
port Reveals City's Growth
Affects Country.

Out OF 300 pupils in the town
ship schools outside OF South Bend
and Mishawaka. 1881 have neither
been absent nor tardy since the be-
ginning OF the present school year
last September, according 10 re-
ports from the Office OF j. w. Ritten-
ger. county superintendent of
schools.
That the growth OF South Bend
and 81. Joseph county during
1922 has overcrowded the rural
schools 10 such an extent that some
schools have been forced 10 have
halliday sessions for the pupils in
attendance, was Mr.. RIttenger's
statement.
In calling attention to the crowd
ed condition Of the county's rural
schools Rittenger said:
In Clay township in the Stuckey
district there are about 90 children
transferred into the city schools
and yet such a large number of
children remain IN the district that
il IS necessary 10 divide the school
and allow each division TO attend
school half days only. The Ullery
school. a four room building in Clay
township on the Niles road. is IN a
crowded condition at this time and
many houses are being constructed
in the neighborhood of this school
and II is very doubtful II the school
facilities in that district viii be suf-
flcient after this year, although the
building was remodeled but two
years ago.
Portage Has New School.
"In Portage township the Five
Point district is another example or
congested condition. due very large
" to the expansion Of South Bend.
The two-room building in that dis
trict was used last year, but there
was a very crowded condition and
1t was doubtful for a time if the
school year could be finished with
out the Additions Of another teacher.
The trustee, Michael Hanley, know
ing the conditions, at once began to
plan for a new building. The chill
dren are now housed in one of the
best rural school buildings in the
state. Four additional class rooms.
indoor toilets, an auditorium and a
modern heating system were added
TO the two rooms. This building IS
now housing about 200 children,
four teachers are now handling the
work. but it is a question II this
teaching force will be sufficient TO
carry the work TO the end OF this
school year.
The ArdmOre school another
two room building, is now housing
about 100 children. If any more
children come to this school it VIII
be necessary to add another teacher.
"In Penn township il was found
necessary to add rooms TO the Twin
Branch and to the Osceola schools
to take care of the increased en-
rollment.
Another section of the county
where conditions have become con-
Eested is in the southern part Of
Olive and Warren townships. This
Increase is only remotely connected
with the expansion Of South Bend.
IN this section there are four schools
which are Overcrovded. At Crums-
town one teacher has 81 enrolled
in the school. In one school in
Olive township it became necessary
20 divide the school at the fifth grade

ment as postmaster 10 succeed the
present incumbent, John A. Herzog.

ter. Mr.. Wilber's withdrawal as

for number of years. The exam
nations for appointment 10 the

efficiency he was regarded as a
strong candidate for the appoint
ment as postmaster, despite any
lack OF political backing.
