Library Is Inadequate

Facilities for only 10 persons are
provided by the school library. This
is far under the minimum set by the
North Central Association of Col
legeS Of Secondary Schools which
requires that high school Libraries
seat at least one-tenth Of the total
enrolment.
In. order to provide more rooms,
several rooms Of ordinary size have
been divided by composition board
partitions. Many Of the class rooms,
therefore. are too small and ventila-
ton and lighting conditions are
poor. This is particularly true in the
commercial department.
The Ben Davis High School build
ing itself Is badly IN need Of re-
pair. Funds for the proper main
tenanCe Of this and other buildings
in Wayne Township have not been
available and IN many rooms it Is
not uncommon TO find large areas
where the plaster has fallen from
the wall. Floors are Shaky and
almost worn through in some places.
