Additional school buildings probably will have to be built in Little Rock betere the fall of 1919, is the belief 01 It. C. Hall, superintendent of Little Hock schools. This conclusion is based on ru "evolution theory," in view of the fact that the increased number of papils in 1918 will be even larger next year now that thousands of workers pierie acid plant. The majority of these coming to this he section for work at tha men have families.

The enrollment for the session ending May 31, 1918, was 8,091 white, colored; total increase, 1,181 over 1917. This increase, measured in rooms, is 31 rooms; measured in 10-room buildings, is three 10-room buildings; measured revenue for construction of buildings, it is $300,000, and in salaries for 30 additional teachers, $24,300. Mr. Hall said it would take $324,000 to restore the schools to the normal efficieney of 1917. West Side to Open.

The opening of the West Side Junior High School this fall will greatly re. lieve the congestion. The grammar school be temporarily restored to normal conditions, but- the high school and the junior high schol will be crowded. The junior high school contemplates caring for the pupils of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades, and will offer a course complete in itself, so that those who stop school at the end of the ninth year will have at least a practical educatien. Mr.

Hall said that he was frequentle asked why the ninth graders will not enter the junior high school next fall, and that the main reason was because 1 would not be possible to give a class in one year the benefits of the new course. lie states that putting the ninth graders in the junior high school this fall would Shunly be a transfer of location. There will be no ninth grades in the senior high school by the fall of 1919. This leaves room for three or four hundred seventh, eighth and ninth grades from the eastern part of the city to be organized as a junior high school and housed at the present senior high school. to the West Side Junior High School Another division on from the teritory nearest will be housed in that building.
