By League

The East Cleveland League Of
Women Voters have endorsed the
5.5 mill levy being sought in Mo-
vember by the East Cleveland
School District. A communication
to this effect was read to the board
at it's October meeting held Tues
day afternoon of this week.
The board had a full two hour
session during which it referred
to committee the Is bids received
for the purchase of one school bus.
The bus would serve 72 pupils be-
ing transported to and from Gale
donia School, and also for trans
porting band, football, basketball
and special classes on school ap-
proved trips.
N. F. Leist, assistant to the
principal, reported that it now re-
quires five trips each time by the
station wagon to get the Caledonia
pupils to and from mornings, noon
and at the close of the days ses-
sion. Several trips are also being
made in the Prospect district, he
reported.
Rachael 7. Protheroe was en-
ployed for the remainder of the
first semester to teach choral
music at w. H. Kirk Jr. High
School, taking over the classes of
Miss Louise Farrand, who is i'll. A
leave of absence was granted to
Mrs. Frances Barnard, R. N. who
has served on the schools medical
staff for the past 20 years
The board was invited to be
represented at the launching of the
North East Ohio School Boards
Association to be formed at meet
ing at Kent Saturday, Nov. 1st.
Fairgrounds came in for dis
cussion following a request from
Rozelle PTA that steps be taken to
eliminate mud on that school play
ground in bad weather.
During the discussion it was
stated to date, good old earth is
the safest playground, and with
earth there is bound to be mud m
wet weather. Cinders and hard
surfaces are hazardous, it was
pointed out and even gravel top
ping can be dangerous for children.
DR.. Korb, superintendent of schools,
stated that a new rubberized top
ping being used in Akron as an
experimental measure should be
checked as to possibilities and cost
as playground topping.
The Rozelle problem, it was in
dicated, is common to all play
Fairgrounds.
| Two other requests came to the
board from Rozelle PTA. They re-
| quest adequate ventilating of the
school auditorium, and also a
fire escape from that room, and a
ventilation system in the old gym
nasium that would make use of
that room possible.
DR.. Korb, told the board that
three. engineers have been con-
consulted relative to improved
ventilating and heating in the
auditorium and that prices on the
fire escape were being received.
The superintendent also indi-
Gated that they were considering
replacing the auditorium seat
ing with a removable type to per-
nit other uses of that room. The
old gym would then provide the
necessary storage space for the
seats when not in use. Cost of
movable seats will be about $1,000.
Painters have moved in their
equipment, ready to start on in
terror work at the building which
has been given a complete inside
outside survey, according to DR..
Korb. Some $4,000 has just been
spent on the schools heating sys-
TEN.
DR.. Louie L. Myers, principal at
W. H. Kirk Jr. High School was
granted permission to attend the
Ohio Association of Secondary
. School Principals meeting at Co.
lumbus 1918.
