At its last regular meeting.
Board qf E'du.cation .unanimously
elded *to, submit to tiie voters
question of voting bonds for the purpose of eii-ecting a new school building in Salimet
Crowded Conditions in 'Grades
The presents bualdimg is overcrowded. The. pupils are .all kept in the
sjchool building, but it is being: done
at the sacrifice of the efficiency of
the school work. The second grade
Is betting careid' for in the library, but
tliis room is too small for a large
grade. Tbe accommodations ar.e not
suitable for grade work.
a^ack of Space in High Sc3iool
In. hig:h school there are only four
rooms that can be used for regular
class woiik. These rooms are used
every hour in bhe day esceipt the laboratory, which is vacant one period of
45 minutes. Five classes must be
held in. the auditorilumi, a room which
is unsuited. for class purposes anfd
cannot be heated satisfactorily,
Where conditions are as crowded as
this it is imi>.*>ssible to arrance the
subjects so that thiey come at times
that are to the best advantage of the
students and teachers. Many oiE these
classes must be held in rooms which
are not adrpted to the purpose. For
example, a science class which requires considerable apparatus and
special equipment must be held in
the assembly roam) where there are
no accommodations whatever. In
physics and other experimental
courses two regular class periods are
required for experiments. Because of
the impossibiility of finding room for
all the classes tliis requirement is not
being met and only 45 miniute periods
aire used, for both the experimental
work .an.d recitations. The public
should realize what a serious handicap this is for both; the sp.upils and the
teachers. Domestic science, manual
training, agriculture, and other desir
able courses cannot be given because
there is no room for thema It is difficult enough: to find spate for the re-
quiired' minimum.
The scliool should offer courses to
suit: the needs of students with different intera ,ts.    It  is  not sufficient  t)
limit the school to the subjects of the
past*.    Tha ne:ds of society today are
very complex.   The, schools must AND
have broadened .out to meet this need.
Library Facilities
AH   authoiities,   including  the  Superintendent   of   Public   Instruction,
agree t/hat the, library shruld be the
heart, of the  school.    The  pupils  in
our school are practically denied the
u-.e cf the library  because the room
is  being  us&d for tho  second grade-.
TI12   University   authorities  are  firm
iii their demand for library accommo-
dati-.ns and the children are entitled'
to them.
Heat,. Ventilation, and Sanitation
The  h-jat,  ventilation., and  sanitation are primary considerations in a
school   building,     Good   school   work
ancl  the   health  of the   children   are
largtily   influenced    by  them.    These
are all very bad In our building. Some
•rooms   cannot  be   heated   adequately
while   other   roams   are   overheated.
Classes were held in room-s the past
winter   where  the   temperature   was
little above fifty degrees. The proper
temperature is from .6S to 70 degrees.
The ventilation is nil  and  must be
provided by means of the doors and
windows.    It  is  im_:ossible  to  maintain an even temperature and    have
prober ventilation under existing conditions.    The sanitary .conditions are
very bad.   Great cracks exist between
the floar boards and these serve as
lodging places for dust and dint.    It
is   impossible   to   keep   the   building
clean aid sanitary.    The~t'oll,ets  and
drinking fountains  are obsolete  and
unsanitary.      These    conditions    are
dangerous to the health of the pupils
and certainly do not give the pupils
a fair chance to acquire -an education.
B.angerous Fire Hazard
The old building, witn its wooden
stairways and oiled floors, presents a
dangerous    fire * hazard.     With    the
steep stairways .and fire escapes, in
additien to the three story construction of  the  edifice, there  is  serious
danger to the lives of the children.
Lighting-
T!he  natural  light • in  five  of  the
rooms   is   'less   than   one-half   the
amonit required for ordinary school
purposes.    The children must study
under thiese conditions .and in many
instances  do: seriqus injury to their
eyes.    Thie school* should heln rather
than hiairm the piupip.
Auditorium
The school does not have a: suitable place in which to give plays, :pro^
grams,   operettas,  .and   other   school
functions.   Th«^e things are recogniz
ed as being just as eiducatiional and'     Complete stocks at lowest prices av
just as essentia!  as any part of the . Bietiter's.

Physical Educaton '{,  F*^ Sal*-S°~-™- fi™ hellers/  Les-
'ter Hanson. 33-5x
The Sidiool is .greatly handicapped j __. ^_   "
in its physical education work for the
want of a, gymttiaijium. In basketball
we are playing such schooOs as Milan,
Clinton, Belleville., Chelsea,- University High, Lincoln Consolidated, every
one of which has its own gymnasium
to tec in,;.PiracticiS'. Our -*sclioeil "has
made a gpod showing, bat is laboring, under a big handicap.
University Bequirenieiits
Last year after o|ur school had been
inspected by the University of Michigan, the commoittee wrote us that our
building was obsolete and that a new
building should be built. If. we wish
to stay on th© accredited list and
have ' out graduates admitted to tlie
University and tp the Normal, then
we mpst meet their requirements. It
would be a - most unfortunate, condition if our school were to ba taken
from the ;accredited list of schools.
The Board has considered the situation froim every angle. The roof,
floors and other parts of the building
are in need of considerable rap air.
Several thousand dollars must be
spent to make the old building usable
temporarily, hurt even that does not
correct the lerowded and other -unde-
sirabJie conditions. A new building
positively miust be built in the very
near future. Any money that is
spent on the, old building is- that
miuch money thrown away. Economy
dictates that whatever is spent be
spent on a new building that will be
permanent.
The Board of Education is to be
commended for its desire to give, the
children of Saline and vicinity the
educatohai advantages to which they
■are entitled, aiid similar to tho:e
which Milan, Belleville, Lincoln and
other commusniities .are offering. Everyone, who wants to .give the children oif'SaHine a square deal shotuld get
behind the -program and help it
along.
The public is Invited and will be
welcome to go to the school at any
time to inspect the- conditions and see
