OF the killing OF Frank PAIL In

ter seeing n man killed In Boyd

pose and the high school classes dis
tributed to other rooms over the
building.
In the junior high school the as
sembly oOm built for IS contains
l54 seats. The principal OF the
Junior High School is without an
Office and the office of the school
nurse Is entirely inadequate for her
work. The fifth and sixth grades
were SO large this year that a part
OF the fifth grade pupils were sem
to the south ward. The enrolment
throughout the entire school system
increased about thirty seven per
cent over that Of the preceding year.
The condition next year win pre-
sent an even greater problem. In
the high school there Will be l75
or more-in a room supposed to seat
50. Grades frye and six have about
100 pupils each and none of these
can be taken are of in the south
ward. This should call for two
more rooms. For the coming year
the Board has decided to try out an
opportunity ROOM" of which Casper
has eleven. The above calls for at
least three extra rooms for which
there is no provision at present.
what OF the Future?
II the boom days" of Rawlins
are over. and the city returns to a
normal rate of growth, there should
be $50 in the high school within
six years and $40 within eight years.
The proposed building will therefore
be crowded to capacity within seven
years after 1t is built.
Other communities have found
that nnVAlIYNAat Il, Eg-l .-AA- -
creases much faster than the popu-
lation Of the town as well as more
rapidly han the grade enrolment.
This is partly due to the increased
interest being taken in secondary
and higher education, partly due to
the fact that mos parents are more
able o provide a better education for
their children.
A new building always results In
an Increase In the number Of pupils
remaining in school until they have
completed their high school course.
This is partly due to the fact that
they have more congenial surround
ings, partly u to their having n
greater selection of courses and bet
ter equipment for those courses.
Discipline requires less attention in
a new school building than where
a crowded condition exists. This de-
creases friction and dissatisfaction
among pupils. one OF the causes OF
pupils leaving school. II Is we'll
known that people having children
OF high school age to educate move
TO a town having good schools. and
the school buildings are the most
conspicuous evidence OF a good
school system.
The new high school building will
no sooner be built than the Junior
High School and the intermediate
school will need to take over tho
entire Central building except the
dark basement rooms which should
no longer be used for school room
purposes.

Both men were warmly honored
through out the evening, which was
