WHY LOL'lsm:iW -sis
SCHOOL.
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.
