Portable Building
Will Be Erected at Woodland
Avenue School to Relieve
Congestion.
Has Two Rooms-Seats 80
Seen as Only Way to Care for
Increase in Student POpula-
ton Until New Building Is
Erected.

As means of relieving some OF
the congestion which is expected
Monday morning when the public
schools of the city open. a portable
school, with seating capacity of

erected on the school grounds at

the board of Education held a
meeting in the Office of Supt. ST
mon M. Horstick in the high school
building. The temporary school
will be made OF practically ire
proof material--asbesttos and will
be used until another building is
completed.
In deciding to erect the school,
members of the Board saw it as
the only way out of the present
difficulty. They expect more over
crowding in the grammar schools
Of the city than any other year as
the school term starts.
Reporting meeting of the Prin-
cipals of schools in the city, Supt.
Horstick declared that the school
officials this year would make no
radical changes over the system
used here the past year.
"The only variation" he stated,
will be the increase in depart
mental work, especially i'll the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades. In the different schools,
teachers will be selected who are
accomplished in penmanship, and
they will be relieved of their room
that they can teach another class.
