Washington School ClosingPlan Meets P-TA Approval
Patrons of Washington School
Wednesday night approved a Dis
trlct No. 4 school board plan lor
abandoning the school for class
room purposes and thus paved
the way for constructing a new
school of approximately 8 rooms,
to replace it, on Harlow Road.
J The plan was presented by
Clarence Hines, superintendent of
schools, to a Parent-Teachers
Assn. meeting and received
hearty endorsement from several
patrons in the audience, and no
opposition.
15 Persons Attended
. Nearly 73 persons turned out to
meet Hines; Dean Lobaugh, as-!
listant superintendent; the five
school board members; and How-
ard Buford, city planning con
sultant. Introduced by Mrs. Harry
Wright, president of Washington
School P-TA, Hines said the

not wish to force abandonment
unless the majority of all con
cerned approve the move, he said.
.Msts Reasons
' He gave these reasons for the
board's desire to close the school:
'' 1. Decreased school enrollment
'at Washington School in recent
'years. 2. Sub-standard play
aground, lighting, and location of
! the school. 3. Increased traffic
hazards which endanger lives of
children attending the school, and
i future industrial expansion in the
area which will be facilitated
with completion of the new Ferry
St. bridge.
Traced Decline
Hines traced the declining
' school population from 1916, when
the building was erected. In 1016,
380 children ntlended Washington
, School, ln grades one through 8.
. This year, he said, 110 children
' from the area go to school there,
"and BO or 70 more are being
transferred from Garden Way and
I Willagillespie areas to keep the
i school alive."

latest information for mothers and
prospective moihers on the most
hygenic methods of baby care.
Fathers may obtain pointers in
these classes also. Many other
chapters have found special
classes for fathers successful, and
the Eugene gro'ip has arranged
evening classes for prospective
mothers and fathers in November.
Classes In care of the sick will
require six meetings of two hours
each.
"Many new fathers lack confi
dence in holding a new baby, but
that will be taken care of in this
class, which will be free to any
person in the Eugene and Spring
field area," Mrs Cora Pirtle, Red
Cross manager, said this week.
"Prospective mothers have stated
that the classes helped them over
come many fears and doubts re
garding childbirth and care of a
child."
Interested persons may call the
Red Cross and register. Class
members will t.e notified when
classes are to start, Enrollment
may be in morning, afternoon or
evening classes.

Won't Raise Taxes
He said the new school will cost
approximately $120,000 but will
not raise taxes pecause the 5-mill
serial levy voted last year will
finance the project. Work will be

said.
