BRIDGEVILLE'S SCHOOL PUPILS
IN THE BASEMENT

For several years the Bridgeville
school has been growing so rapidly
in numbers and interest that the
school building, which looks compare
lively new, now accommodates only
half of the pupils in rooms which were
originally designed for the purpose.
In 1919, as the school population in
creased, the Delaware Auxiliary As
sOciatiOn loaned to the district a two
room portable buildings; but since
this did not take care of the overflow,
the authorities rented two rooms in
an abandoned Methodist Church build
ing and in order to take care of the
agriculture and home economics clas-
ses fitted up two basement rooms.
At the beginning of the present
school year, however, another shift
had to be made because the abandon
ed church, now occupied by the Cen
tury Club, was no longer available.
Moving the agriculture out of the
basement made room for the third
grade and another room in the base
ment was made to house the second
grade None of these basement rooms
was originally intended to accommO-
date classes, being poorly lighted and
difficult to heat. The first grade
meets in a hastily improvised room in
the second story of the fire house. To
make this comfortable and install
toilet facilities costs a considerable
sum. The expenditure of this money,
which is to large degree wasted, is
an illustration of the uneconomical
expenditures made necessary by these
make-shift measures in many dis
tricts.
This makes a total of seven rooms
now being used in Bridgeville in ad-
dition to the seven which compose
the really usable part of the building
as designed and built by the cOmmun-
ity just few years ago. This expan-
sion is due not to the increase in To-
cal population but to the continued in
crease and interest in school attend
ance, particularly high school at
tendance in the area served by the
Bridgeville school.
The present site is not adapted
either by size or arrangement for
The original building is
in the middle of a small lot,
the portable building uses most of
the playground on one side and there !
remains no space for any games ex-
cept those which use small courts, |
and it is necessary to have the ele-
mentary children use the playground |
at times when the larger children are
not out.
There is an immediate and press
ing need for a new building to be !
placed on the new site which has re-
cent1v been secured. Nothing short of |
this will in any considerable way re-
lieve the more congested situation in
Bridgeville.

and adopted the following motto:

The bacelors read in last nights

"The blind shall see. the lame

Unused the Henryetta Rotary club

portant bit OF work in its entire his
tory during the past year.

Muskogee, Okla.

At the present moment Il would
appear to me the one outstanding
thing the Muskogee club should be
most proud Of IL that Il is putting
over program and entertainment
for the biggest conference in num-
ber OF attendance that Rotary, either
district or international. has ever
held and this, too. by the smallest
city that has ever made such an
attempt. Had our club anticipated
three years ago that the 18th dis
trict would grow to such propor-
tions as exist Mt the present time
for the yeas 1922. they would never
have had the nerve to offer their
invitation.
At that time, you will remember,
there were 1900 in attendance at
Oklahoma City. The really great
benefit of this conference to the
Muskogec club. Is that in spite of
their inward fears of the tremen-
dous responsibility, they squared
their shoulders TO the task that to
some seemed unsurmountable, and
to put II over as they are going
TO do is a wonderful developer.
You know have always operated
on the theory that II a man only did
the things that semed easy for him
and that were easy for him, ho never
developed. But let the, chap tackle
n Job that seemed way beyond his
capacity with a firm determination
to win, that was the type we were
looking for. lie is the man that
grows and makes good In the ma.
jority OF his endeavors. The same
line OF reasoning. l feel applies TO
any organization. II is especially
fitting to the Muskogee Rotary club
In its handling of conference
which promises TO represent prac-
tioally in attendance. the white
male adult population of this COM
munity.

within this city between the ages
OF and is years.
Fifty underprivileged boys were
found and the Rotarians, true TO the
spirit OF their obligation. splendidly
eNemplified tho motto, Service. Not
Self" by making 1t possible for these
so young men to enjoy the samo
privileges and advantages which are
available to the more fortunate OF
this city's young manhood.
Each of the 80 members OF the
Chillicothe club obligated himself
to become a big brother" TO one or
moro Of these unfortunate youths.
and that obligation is being carried
out In the usual Rotary manner.
Seventy-tive per cent OF these boys
are now in school. preparing them
selves to take a prominent placo in
the citizenship OF this or some other
community. They have been pro-
vided with presentable clothing,
needed books and necessary equip
ment to carry them through the
school year and under the watchful
eye OF tho big brothers" and the
special attention OF Rotarian Jim
Kerr, superintendent OF schools, the
great majority OF them are making
good" in the face OF odds.
The big brothers finding the
class room inadvisabie In the cases
OF the other rs per cent, have placed
them in situations and under condi-
! tions which undoubtedly will mean
their absolute redemption and all

tion of Rotary's fundamental doc

The club was not satisfied to do
something for the boys and not DO
something for the men outside OF
the club, so a series of dinner trips
were made to neighboring towns and

meetings was better understanding
and the establishment of friendly
