16 THE HIGH SCHOOL TIMES problem presents itself It is Overcrowdzng Next to efficient in structors each student should have at least one place where he can study his lessons and hear the instructions of his teacher that is he should have an otlice which he can call his very own this 1S solved by giving him a desk and seat Under the present crowded conditions in our high school this seemingly simple requirement IS not met for there are more students than there are seats The school officials are trying thelr best to allevlate conditions Last year nineteen new seats were put in while this year nineteen seats have been added but there are still several pupils without desks The fault does not he with the school heads as they have done all they can in adding new desks so the power to act now rests with the people of Fort Madison Surely without exception our citizens w1sh Fort Madison to be the leading city of the power zone A start toward that position has already been made by the acquisition of several new come new high school students In the light of previously stated facts that the high school is at present overcrowded it is easily apparent that with the addition of these new students a building will be needed in a very short time Since it will be needed soon why not get busy now? The sooner the building is completed the sooner Fort Mad1son will be benefited by it Many times we have heard it said that we will get a new high school when we show that we need it This we have already done We also have shown ourselves deserving by the fact that new and varied courses of industrial work have been introduced and maintained Indeed the very fact that the enrollment jumped from two hundred and five last year to two hurdred and thirty four this year proves that the pupils have shown a very decided mterest 1n the Fort Madison High School and therefore deserve a reclprocation of interest on the part of Fort Madison citizens The rest of this book could be crowded with other arguments on our side of the question such as The need of a science laboratory it is detrimental to have both primary and high school pupils in the I . . . . , . 1 u H . . - . .
