In MemOriam

Liller-In sad but loving memory
of my devoted son, Lloyd c., who
passed away one year ago, February
%, 1916.
Remembrance is a golden chain
death tries to break, but all in vain;
to have, to love, and then to part, is
the greatest sorrow of ones heart;
the years may wipe out many things
but this: never the memory of those
happy days when we were all to-
gether; gone and forgotten by some
you may be, but dear to our memory
you ever will be.
By his mother and sister.

Recommendations Made

Recommendation by the various
building committees are given IN the
account of the address of Mr.. Guard
before the Rotary club. Friendsville
declares need of six classrooms, an
auditorium, library, office, farm shop
and equipment. The Grantsville COM
mittee, which has an elementary en-
rollment of 359 in 1916, estimates an
enrolment of AGO in 1860; while in
the high school with 20S enrolled in
1916 it is estimated the enrolment in
1860 will be 500. The committee
pointed out the probable trend toward
Il marked increase in population there,
and declared it appeared there was
definite need for new high school
building at Grantsvillc. There are at
present six classrooms and it was es
timated by 1850 that IL classrooms
would be needed.
The Accident report stated the
school there had only four standard
classrooms, five make-shift class
rooms and an agriculture building be-
low standard, and no provisions for a
cafeteria, library and science labora
tory. 1t recommends erection Of a new
unit on the north side, a new agricul-
ture building, a new unit over the
present furnace room and reconstruc-
ton of the middle section of the build
ing, plus providing adequate equip
mcnt.
The Oakland committee recon-
mends a building large enough to take
care of 900 students, with % class
room units, special units for science,
commercial, homcmaking, shops, ag-
riculturc, art, music and conference
rooms, also library, cafeteria, audi
forum, gymnasium, administration
office, faculty room, health service,
pupil service and custOdial service.
The KitzmilIcr committee estimated
an enrolment of $50 by 1859, in COM
parison to 1873 at present. 1t recon-
mcndcd an auditorium gymnasium,
with stage; library, industrial arts
shop cafeteria, music room, six class
rooms, science classroom and home
economic cottage.

the means Of developing building
program that will take care of our
needs for many years. Many changes
may have to be made, but these can
be worked out by architects and plan
ming specialists. Such a program calls
for the employment of men with the
best skill and judgment that can be
operation from all citizens of our
county. The amount of money made
available will determine the extent Of
the building program which should be
countrywide and should include botk
elementary and high school plants"
The letter concluded: "Iou may be
assured that the Board Of Education
stands ready and willing 10 assist in
any way possible in a building pro-
gram for the county" The letter was
signed by Walter w. Dawson as pres
ident; Stuart F. Hamill as vice-pres-
dent; R. E. Guard IS ass 'ciate men,
Der; and F. E. 3a5hbun, secretary and
county superintendent.
In regard to Oakland High school
the Board agreed That with tie in
creased burden IN preSeEI facilities
something would have to be done as
soon as possible. Approximately As
percent of the nigh schvcl population
of the county is in Oakland High
school. Additions canr Ut be made to
the present building, and we have
been advised that money spent for
further improvements would be
wasted and would serve no gooa pur-
pose"
The Board was Of the opinion that
the new Oakland High school build

was of the opinion that additional
planning was desired on the latter
four schools before large expenditures
are made.
On the elementary school situation
the following paragraph was included
in the letter:
"The elementary school problem in
this county calls for much serious
thought and the Board is of the opin-
ion that certain changes will have to
be made in order to meet future ne eds.
Several new elementary school build
ings should be erected in different
parts of the county to provide better
facilities; additions and improvements
should be made to school buildings at
Oakland, Red House, Swanton, Bloom
ington and Deer Park; consolidation
of schools at Mt. Lake Park and Loeb
Lynn should be considered and this
will mean a new building or an en-
largement of one of the present build
ings; such a change will take care of
great many children in the two
towns and surrounding communities.
Shops and equipment are also needed
in various schools throughout the
county and for these needs an eXpen-
diture of considerable amount will be
required"
