BOND ISSUE TO BE ASKED East Side Grammar Grades Already Overcrowded Plan, When li dded I'pon, to Be Sub mitted to Vole. A modern High School building, to cost $500,000. with administrative headquarters for the general staff, about 100 additional rooms for gram mar grades and the acquisition of more ground foi-play and ornamental pur poses, will constitute the large prob lems to be discussed by the Board of Kducation at its session Tuesday night. Whether funds for these shall be raised by direct taxation or by bonds will be another Important ques tion to be decided. Recomendations for whatever the directors determine to be best will be submitted to the tax payers at a meeting to be held In De cember. Four-Story Hifcli School. "The district must build a four-story High School building on Its property In the Couch Addition, on the West Side, for administrative purposes, as well as for a High School," said H. C. Campbell, chairman of the building committee. "I think this certainly will have to be done next year, and I favor using the fourth floor for administra tion headquarters. We must get things so arranged that our general staff can work to the best advantage, and we must have such quarters, in'my judg ment. We must also. I feel, build 100 additional rooms for grammar grades next year, to accommodate the rapidly-Increasing population of children. "I do not know whether it is best to build all of these extra rooms from direct taxation." continued Mr. Camp bell, "and one of the questions to be discussed at our meeting next Tues day night will be as to the best means of paying for this extra equipment. Probably some of the wor:; will be paid for from bond Issues, and with out much doubt that is the way the district will pay for the proposed West Side High School. The time has come when we must have more ground for Blav and ornamental purposes also, and how best to pay for this will be dis-J cussed. At present little piaygrouna Is attached to our properties, and this must be remedied." City Superintendent Rigler has made his recommendations to the board, railing for at least SS new rooms for grammar work and for the proposed West Side High School. Mr. Rigler does not overlook the fact, however, that the number of additional rooms stated In his report Is Insufficient to provide nil the facilities needed, if It is de sired to give plenty of room. Rooms are also needed at Mount Tabor. Rose City Park and Kenton. East Side Schools Crowded. It is the East Side that Is demand ing the extra rooms for the grammar grades. It Is almost impossible for the Board of Education to keep pace with the demands for handling this In crease. More than 20.000 children are now enrolled in the public schools of the city, and any more will have to be cared for next year. The High School system is growing rapidly also. It is said by the directors that a new modern building will be necessary tor the "West Side next year. Lincoln High School, the first in the city, at Fourteenth and Morrison streets. Is entirely out of date, and will probably be used for grade work when the new West High School build ing Is completed. The East Side will be well equipped for High School work soon, when the Jefferson building, in North -Alblna, Is finished. This will be done about in time for the opening of the Spring term, in February. With the Washington building, at East Four teenth and East Stark streets. this will be ample for some time, although It will not be -long before additional facilities are necessary. It will require considerably more than $1,000,000 to cover the operations of the school district next year, and. If It is decided to purchase additional land for play and ornamental pur poses, it may run Into much larger figures. INDOOR FAIR PROMISING Institute Club Plans to Give House Beautiful Exhibition.
