PETERSBURG SCHOOL BOARD
ASKS $200,000 FOR BUILDINGS
Every White School Crowded to Capacity, Many Schol
ars on Half-Time, While 70 Per Cent of
Colored Go I3ut Half-Daw
PBTERSIU'RO. VA.,' Fob. lp.?Tlio
school I ii.iatd. through Hatcher S.
Seward, has asked the City Council for
1200,000, to be used for the building
of additional schools In the city. The
great need for more room has be
coroo acute, says tlio board, as every
white school in the city is crowded
to capacity, with many white children
and with nearly 70 per cent of the
colored children in the city on half
time.
The school board asks ?lf>o,ooo of
(lie appropriation for the purpose of
building a Junior, or Intermediate,
high school of twenty-four rooms,
which will relieve the situation in all
the schools of the city. The remain
Inn J.>0,000 is asked for the purpose
of building a colored school of ten
rooms.
'I nkc t |i Mntler TucNilny \|ght.
The City Council will take up the
matter Tuesday night at the regular
meeting in the Council chambers.
The matter was informally prtsented
to them several days :ikd, but it has
n?t been the subject of any discus
sion, either formal or informal, since
that time.
No appropriations for building have
been made to the school board during
the past five years and during that
time there has been a big increase In
enrollment.
In his communication to the City
Council, .Mr. Seward says that the
school board had ever boon mindful
? the financial embarrassments of
the Council during the strenuous
days of the war and the even more
strenuous days of readjuBtment. Only
two reasons at this time actuate the
school board to come forward with
the request, as these requests are as
f o 11 o w s:
Klrst, because the need has be
come acute, am!
.Second, because it is the belief of
the school board that It Is now pos
sible to sell municipal bonds with
out plaacing an undue burden upon
the taxpayers.
Two I. r ml ex on Half Time.
In the white schools of the cltv, all
the first and second grades are on
half time, that is the same teacher
teaches two groups of children, one
coming in the morning and the other
in the afternoon.
The half-day pupils may be
grouped as follows: Hrown school,
? .i ? . 11 ill school. 136; l.ee school, 230,
and Jackson school, 250.
Petersburg is said to be the only
city ot any considerable size, in the
state, where this condition prevails
throughout tin; schools.
There art at least four objectives
which !he school hoard hopes to at
tain In the new building for which
it is pi t It ioniug:
Kirst A standard sesslson is to be
given to all second grades in the
while schools
"-Vcond The portable and tempo
rary buildings now in use are to be
abandoned.
Third The auditoriums are to be
restored (o the Hrown and the Ucc
schools
fourth?ah the sixth and seventh
grades of the city are to be concen
trated tin one building, which will
greatly fnciiituto v,'hc homogeneous
groupings of these pupils.
hi'fnllti School ,\ceils.
In order to obtain the objective
of the school hoard it will be neces
sary !o provide four additional rooms
tor the children of the Hrown school
two for the Hill school, six for the
l.ee school. two for the Jackson
school and eight of those of the
high school which is a total of twen
t\ two rooms,
I he s.-hoot board, therefore, asks
ih.it (he new building be of twenty
four rooms, as school buildings aro
tnos! economically built In multiples
of four rooms and It Is highly de
sirable that at least two spare rooms
)?<? kepi fi,r future growth.
I he s< hoid board recommends that
the ne? building lie fireproof and
"nils thin tin* probable cost of con
si ruction will approximate $0,000 per
rooms, making this building, with
mi'table gymnasium, domestic science
rooms, manual training roomn, ftd
iiIstration uflicfts, etc., cost about
J 150.000.
.Sertoli* Sllunlioii in Vcjrro .Schools.
In the negro schools tho situa
tion Is worse than in the while
schools. It is believed. Thero is a
total enrollment of 2,107 colored
pupils anil of this number 1.201 are
"ii half time.
1'he school hoard does not hope to
t relieve the entire situation, but has
j In mind relieving the situation for all
above the second grade. The half
day sessions now apply to lirst, sec
ond and third praties.
The school hoard asks that a stand
ard ten-room school building be pro
\ ided for tin- coloreil children, to
cost approximately $.10,000.
'I lie situation as It now exists in
the various schools, follows:
Itrown .School: lOnrollinciit, 555,
with 252 half day; twelve rooms, no
auditorium: both lirst and second
grades have children on half time.
All rooms have large classes enrolled,
as- many as forty-three pupils.
Hill School: Knrollmcnl 371, with
1.17 half day; l?oth first and sec
"inl grades. One portable building is
in use. There are nine rooms and no
auditorium.
l.ec School: Knrollmeut. GGO; with
230 half day; sixteen rooms, no audi
torium. one portable huilditiK;. The
half-time situation includes the soo
oliil grade.
?lackson School: Knrollmcnt ^54,
with total 25t> half day; eighteen
rooms and autilitoriutn. Children of
both lirst titul second grades arc
forced to double up and many of
the classes in other rooms are too
large, as in most cases of the other
schools, to be efficiently taught.
I Ugh School: Hnrollment, 7*0,
with twenty-two rooms; study halls,
?ry mnasium. auditorium, laboratory.
Four temporary rooms are provided,
hut only two are in use at this time.
Kiuht of the rooms are occupied by
seventh grade children. The classes
are all veviy larfvo.
Condition of Coloreil .Schools,
Tin condition of the colored schools
is as follows:
Fast Ward School: Kn roll meat,
33'J; all four rooms on half day. One
room has 103 pupils, another 101; an
other 65, and a fourth 101.
Henry Williams School: Knroll
;nr.:st 1.225, with 730 on half day,
in tho twenty rooms. The size of the
classes are stupendous with all grades
through thi- third doubling up. Somo
of the rooms that go all-ilay sessions
deserve t<> lie split in half.
I'eahody High School: Knrollinent
30S, with eight rooms. The three
seventh grade rooms contain forty,"
forty-six and six t y-live pupils, re
spectively. Tho first higy school
grade, llfty-ono pupils.
