Who Was CaIypso2

In Homer's Odyssey the name is
that of a nymph that dwelt on the
island of Ogygia, on which Ulysses
was shipwrecked in his wanderings
after the Trojan war. Calypso re-
ceived him with kindness, and offered
to marry him, promising Immortality
and eternal youth if he would consent.
Ulysses refused and Calypso after de-
tanning him for seven years was COM
manded by the gods to release him.
This she did, and taught him how to
build raft, on which he left the is
land and continued his journey.

been adjusted, the most serious edu-
cational, problem confronting Wash
ington as a community Is that of pro-
viding adequate schoolhouse accom-
modations for our school population.
The regular annual increase in school
enrolment and the accumulated
shortage of schoolhouse accommoda-
tions, which has long existed In
Washington, have contributed to ere
ating the present congestion in our
schools. Amy understanding of the
present situation must be based on a
consideration Of the normal rate of
increase iIs enrolment, and of our in
heritance Of pre-war and war condi-
tions with respect to schoolhouse con-
struction.
THE average annual increase in
number of pupils in elementary
schools in Washington from 1913 to
1920 was 7S8 pupils; from 1920 to 1924
was SOB pupils; for the whole PERIOD
that is,- from 1914 through 1924-it is
79S pupils.
Armstrong Technical High School!
The capacity of the Armstrong
building Is 500 pupils. and the ENROLL
meat on November /, 1924, was 1,054
pupils. To accommodate these pupils
I3 p6rtables have been provided. To
relieve this congestion an addition to
the Armstrong School is nearing CON-
pletion, which will provide accom-
modations for 500 additional pupils.
"Business High School.-The capac-
ity of the Business High School is 800
pupils, and it's enrolment on Novenl-
ber /, 1924, was 1903 pupils. 1t has
been operating on a part-time sched-
ule for a number of years, and will be
obliged to continue part time until
additional schoolhouse accommoda-
tions are provided.

abandoned in accordance with a sys-
tematic program of replacement.
TT will be observed from the facts
already presented that the number of
elementary school buildings opened
since 1920 has been sufficient to take
care OF the increased enrolment and
TO some extent reduce part time. over
size classes and rented quarters, and
to discontinue the use of certain por-
tables which were transferred to ju-
nior and senior high schools.
400 Rooms Needed.
TT Is conservatiYely estimated, on
the basis of annual increase In en-
rollment and on a distribution over
a five-year period of all accumulated
shortages in schoolhouse accommo-
dations. that 80 classroonls, together
with other necessary educational. IA
cilIties, must be provided each year
for five years II at the end of that
time the pupils in elementary schools
of Washington are TO bo adequately
housed. Anything short Ct this mini
mum program aof schooIhouse con-
struction means a continuance of un-
desirable accommodations and the
further postponement of the day
when the elementary school children
OF washington VIII be adequately
housed.
"A tabulation shows that the seven
junior high schools, which are not
yet completely organized, should be
able to accommodate approximately
245 additional pupils in the ninth
year, when the enrolment is COM
plete.
This tabulation also shows that
each one of the seven senior high
schools is overcrowded. On Novem-
ber l, 1924, there was in the high
and junior high schools a net excess
of 2,S71 pupils over and above the
capacity Of those schools
In 1920 the enrolment in our
high schools and junior high schools
was $3.50, which was 1854 pupils in
excess of capacity.
In 1921 the high and junior high
school enrolment was 1881, making
n net excess enrolment of 1881
pupils.
In 1922 the total enrolment in
high and junior high schools was
