PROVIDING FOR OVERFLOW Plans for Accommodating Additional Pupils in the High School. ONE HUNDRED NEED TO BE LOOKED AFTER T o Ilooinn of llin AVunlilnnton Avc- 11110 HiillilliiK Are HuliiK 1'rcpnretl /or Their Umc Dolulln of the 1'lnii. Superintendent Hayden haa completed the arrangements whereby tie overflow- from the II'Kh ' school will bo provided for. The plan adopted last year will bo followed , although on a larger scale. Last year It was found necessary to provide for but about fifty pupils , whllo this year 100 pupils for whom there la no room In the High school bulldinc bjxvo to bo cared for. Theeo 100 pupils oomurlso the onterlne class , or , In school vernacular , the ninth grade. For their Accommodation two rooma on the ground of the Washington avenue building , form erly occupied by the classes taught by Miss Bortloy and Miss Landon , have been reserved and are now being placed In order for their occupancy. The entering class will bo divided Into sec- | tlons , each occupying one of the rooms , j and the teachers will 1 > e Miss Mlttlo Plla nnd Miss Emma Boesohe. ' Superintendent Hnyden has arranged It so that the work will be divided so that the studies In tlieso rooms will be carried out on the departmental ! plan , as In the High school proper. Under | the system lost year the High school pupils nt the Washington avenue building did not huvo advantage of this system. The nuDlls from the two rooms taken for j the Hlzh school class will bo accommo dated on the middle floor. The room form erly occupied by the principal , Miss Mnngum , . as an office. Is being seated with desks , and j the room on the third floor used last spring | for the High school pupils , will now be utilized as a grade school room. Last year the enrollment at the Washington Avenue nohool was about 7BO , but thla year will find It Increased to over 800 , and to accom modate this Increased number of pupils It has been found necessary to convert the room In the tower occupied as a meeting room j for the Board of Education Into a class room. This room has been equipped with' ' thirty desks and tiio room on the floor di rectly above It la being similarly equipped. With these additional i\\o rooms. It Is be lieved that all the pupils can bo properly accommodated without excessive crowding. The meetings of the Board of Education from this out will be hold In the Bloomer j building , where a room Is being prepared by partitioning off a portion of the largo corridor on the third floor. The work Is nearly completed and It'ls ' thought the room will be ready in time for the next meeting of the board. The meeting Friday afternoon was held In the superintendent's office In j that building. The plan of having the j board room In the same building as the superintendent's office is considered a good one , as It will enable the secretary at any time during a session of the board to have Immediate access to any records that might bo needed. The commltteo on buildings and grounds has made arrangements whereby ono of the buildings formerly occupied for school pur poses In Cut Off can bo leased temporarily until the now school house Is completed. This will enable school to be opened at the regular time. Contractor Wind has at length I been able to get his brick on the cround ' and this week will commence on the con struction of the new school. The water that surrounded the slto selecUd for the school has boon drawn off and Contractor Wind has at lencth been able to haul his ' material onto the ground. Even under the moat favorable circumstances It will bo well Into the winter before the now echool building can bo ready for occupancy. Domestic soap Is full weight. Welabach burners at Blxby's.
