TELLS Of NEED FOR
MORE SCHOOL SPACE

Although the quality of the
teachers still determines whether
a school is good or poor, other
factors have to be considered,
among them adequate housing,
Supt. Fred w. Graft of Laurel's
school system told the Kiwanis
club Wednesday evening. The
system here, like many another,
had reached the saturation point;
there is no more room space
available without buying Of build
ing. The remedy may be provid-
ed by the Legislature submitting
a constitutional amendment to the
people, which would take two
years and would be no immediate
or by federal grants when
the new congress convenes.
Graft mentioned that in an
other address before the Kiwanis
he had stated that though
the town had grown in population
in the past % years the school
population had not changed much.
In the earlier times the begin
ming and lower grades to the
sixth had been crowded, with rel
few graduating from jun
ior high school and entering SEN
ior high school. He said this pro-
luced a flat pyramid, since cor
rected by time. The local sys-
.em's enrolment in all depart
nents is now normal, or like the
average throughout the nation.
Also, enrolment this year is the
greatest recorded, reflecting the
predicted increase experienced
elsewhere and being a part of
he wave of population growth
which began during the war. The
wave will continue to arrive Mt
he school doors until well into
he SOS.
During the war it was impos-
iible to do public building, a stu
Ition that surprisingly has not
with the result that
everywhere r over
rowded. Many communities made
financial provisions for building,
for a dropping off in
,osts, but now find that costs
ave continued to increase and
hat financially they have lost
as money continued TO
ose value. Funds previously
,uilt up, whether by schools or
Their public institutions, are now
inadequate.
The school man depressed for
few minutes to say that lack
f housing is no occasion for hys- .
eria. The schools greatest prob
en- is the shortage of competent
eachers, which even an abund-
nee of money would not inn /.
1ediately solve. He stressed
throughout his address that teach !
rs are the most important fac
or for successful operation OF
system and that the shortage
an only be overcome by offering
Inducements for young people to

The 1912 homeroom of Mrs. Nc

lessons to the students who do not
already know how to dance and
are eager to learn. Miss Browns
homeroom has volunteered to help
us with this project. We have de-

after lunch. We plan to start this
project November IL, 194s. If any,
one is interested in learning, he will
find several volunteer instructors
TO- help him in every possible way
they can. They will do their best
to teach him, as well as make him
feel at ease during the processes.
We are doing this for the benefit

how to dance and wish to learn. So
let's see you cooperate with us and
participate in this project. If you
