The following communication Is con Lribuled by Supt. W. R. MittB at the I ZMWMMI rht? CMBpalf ? fattnrittw for the new Graded School election : The present Graded School building was planned In 1905 and *t thoFUm* was large enough to acconunodate all the children who attended the school." In the beginning we had only *even grades with, perhaps, a half dozeu hny inrl ?!?!? dslBg a little lil^H sehool work. In the ~ HJ years the Hi'liuol li&ft been runnTng, tlie enroll ment haB more than doubled, and the "high school enrnllnion^ f^p ?he prftH |-?irt\y?ar -Ua && We -are- rtoTrvg frrur years of high school work abovp th p setentn grade. ? Our building was bum t6r a stx room building with an auditorium. When the building was oeing finished two small corner rooms were con structed. These are poorly arranged, .with low ceiling, and bad lighting. Still we have been using them for -fm-wwHm- year*? Afront four years ago we moved the high school into the old academy building, but this is no longer large enough to furnish seating room for a^l the high school pupils. The enrollment from the botrtsburg Oraded School district as it uas before it was enlarged, is twice what our present building can accommodate properly. The children who were admitted to the school when the district was enlarged, have Hot called for any additional teachers; | they are distributed through all _the < grades in the scjlool. If their presence shall- demand a' larger building than we might other wise plan to build, it must not be for gotten that the parents of these child ren are paying fhelr part of the cost of running the school, and will do the same with reference to the new build For the following specific reasons Louisburg needs a new school build In?: ? 1. At present you have only eleven "class-rooms and thirteen people are trying tcr~tenrli. and we at least four additional teachers. 2. -Two of our classes in the ele mentary Sthoo! are lau r I?I Tn rooms that are a menace to the health and well-being of the children. 3_s_ None of our high school classes have proper quarters. Thirty years ago, thy ulU Ucadehly building was probably on a par with the school quarters offered to the boys jmd frtfls .Tft'ninsf* or oar piriffl TftWiis. mu luflUy it is decidedly inferior to what most of our towns and progressive rural munitico havo provided for ? their children. 4. You should have a wider pro gram of studies in the hien srhrvii Tn I'tiTTr present building and with onr_pre sent equipment and teaching staff, we are able to offer only one course of study leading to graduation. Any thoughtful person will see at a glance that this works a hardship on many boys and girls. Jhey are not all alike. They vary in ability, aptitude, and taste, and the school should in a mea sure take care of such variation. FINED FOR VIOLATING SANITARY PRIVY LAW. Mr. E. P.
