that the city comptroller shall be compelled

The delinquent taxes on this lot belong

According to a statement compiled by
Superintendent Wolfo of tho South Omaha
public schools, thero has been n wonder'
till growth during tho Inst ten years. Tho
following tablo shows tho average attend
anco during that time:

Superintendent Wolfe has estimated that
tho number of pupils who will bo enrolled
at tho commencement of tho school year ln
September will bo about the sumo ur nt tho
closo of the last yeur, but that during the
winter term this amount will bo. swelled to
at least 4,600. If this condition prevails tho
superintendent claims that It will bo a scri
ous question Just what to do with all tho
pupils that attend.
Tho rapid growth of tho schools corre
sponds with tho rnpld growth of tho city,
Tho schedulo that Superintendent Wolfe has
prepared shows n growth that Is not
equalled by any town In tho state, nnd It Is
doubted whether thcro aro any othor townB
In tho country that can show an lncrcnso In
enrollment like that wblch'tho South Omaha
public schools now show. According to tho
estimate of Wolfo thoro has been an tn-
creaso during tho last ton years ln tho
school enrollment of the public schools of
2,859. This la an lncreaso of almost 75 per
cent and, according to those who havo mado
school work a study, It ls claimed to bo a
wonderful growth. The question that
now causing the school board, teachers'' and
parents muth worry Is Just how theso pupils
for the coming year nro to bo accommodated.
That thcro is not adequate school room Is
a long past conceded proposition; that out
side rooms will havo 'to bo rented Is shown
by tho fact that at the Board meeting a few
eights ago a committee was appointed to
solicit empty rooms to bo used for school
buildings. Ono of tho members of tho school
board said tho othor night: "This mnttcr
of school room Is a serious question and
ono that the board Is going to havo a great
deal of trouble with during the coming
year. You see, wo have rented vacant sa
loon buildings, wo havo ousted butcher
shops so that wo could use their buildings;
stores havo been vacated, but wo are begin
ning to feel that wo are at tbo end of our
string. Unless we obtain some private
dwelling and go back Into prlmltlvo teach
ing wo can do nothing more. Of course, we
will be all right when tho school year first
opons In September, but just ns Boon as tho
mass of pupils commences coming during
tho winter term we will bo ln a serious di
lemma and will not know what to do with
