all The question of providini; more ac-
you eommodationa for Dear rapidly growing
by ; schoot is confrontingthe voters and tax-
payers of this district.
During tha past year the growth of
ale, I Uentral + Dint has been so rapid that
ang' ~ the number of scholars in this district
~diy ;has out-grown the size of the present
3st- ~ school building--and now it is almost
Ong'-impeXatine that another school bui ding
bed .i b' erected. The present bni ding con-
yed i tains eight- rooms, with aceommoda-
'am tions for 30 pupils to the room, or 240;
er- ~ pupils,. ,`i'he• ]ast school census gave ,
you ~ the district 276 pupils. Since the be- `
the I ginning of the present school year one'
3he~ more teacher has been 2dded to thy;
led ~ corps of teachers, and 20 pupils are'
t Z now being quartered in the basement,
mY a condition that is wholly unsatisfactory I
al- to the teachers and pupils and also to ~
•ou ~ the patrons of tl;e district, :,~d such
cramped quarters aro natural~y . un-
sanitary and unhealthy.
vie A representative of the Herald was
sur ~ shov:n_.ovor the school building 117onday
' by Professor Cooper, and the needed
L improvement presents itself in • every ; ,
;
I room.
The taxpayers of the Central Point
district have always been loyal to their'
school and it i3 aafe to assert that ; ,
when this matter is shown up to them ~
in the p'aoper light a new building will
~, I be forthcoming.. In many ways poor
school accommodatio^s are a detriment
to the. development of a commuty-but
', in this instance, when the health of the
` t:,dints-ara.at-s~a:ke;-rnrrtedia _
is neee~sar~ and should be taken.
