Hlso included in the budget is the sal- ary raise of S5320 this year of teachers in order to retain the most capable and ef- ficient instructors and to cover their in- creased cost of living. Bigger and better things are on the way for Fremont's school system as the Board of Education plans an extensive building program calling for the con- struction of three new grade school buildings. The Richards Court property, bordered on the south by Garfield Street and on the west by Grant Street, will be the location of a school in the eastern section of the city. H large building to replace both East and North grade schools will be constructed at the present full block site of the North school, 1030 North Union Street. Negotiations are be- ing completed for a third location to sup- plant the present West Side and Ingle- wood buildings in southwest Fremont, in the vicinity west of Broad Street. Fllso contemplated is the addition of four classrooms to North Side school. Likewise enlargement of the high school gymnasium is being viewed for the pur- pose of providing facilities for the band, visual education, and possibly a cafe- teria. In addition to offering to the students of Fremont modernized equipment and buildings, specially trained instructors, and a well-balanced curriculum our schools also are able to offer high scholastic advantages because Fremont's schools are fully accredited by the North Central Hssociation. Hll of these things have made it possible for Fremont public schools to be rated among the leading high schools of Nebraska. Superintendent of Schools, M. G. Farrow tB.Sc., University oi Chicago, M.f-l., University of Nebraskal has completed his second successful year as head-man of Fremont Public Schools. Hll problems and queries pertaining to the edu- cational set-up of the city have been dealt with ably by Mr. Farrow, a man highly trained in school administration, Having served as Dis- trict 2 president of the Nebraska State Educa- tion Hssociation for l946, he was fully qualified to assume the office of state president of the same organization this year. His all-out efforts as state chairman in the promotion of the Teachers' Retirement Bill, which went into effect in Iuly, l945, was only one of the numerous ways in which Mr. Farrow has worked uniiringly for the betterment of the field of education, not only in Fremont but in the entire state.
