A building sufficient to take Care of only 600 pupils is now called upon to accommodate 700 boys and girls. The present building is with oat a gymnasium, space for a domes - tie science department and an exten- sion of the manual training work, an assembly room large enough to hold all of the pupils of the school, a luncit room, and also space for recitation ; and study rooms, irrespective of any thing else. Additional space and equipment are therefore absolutely necessary. * A brief history of the school is in structive. A small village high school, with quarters in leased rooms on Davis street, was succeeded by the present school, organized in 1888. under the leadership of the late Prof Henry U Boltwood, assisted by a corps of four teachers. For the new school a site was secured and a build ing erected. The building as it now stands was completed in 1900. The growth of the school since that time has been rapid. At the opening of the school year in 1902 there were 423 pupils and 20 teachers, including the principal. At present there are 700 pupils and 82 teachers, Including the â€" principal. This shows an increase in attendance of 66 per cent during the past ten years, or 6% per cent yearly. Eves if the growth of Evanston is less rapid during the next ten years than daring the past ten, it .seems only reasonable to assume that the enrollment will be approximately 85# by 1917 and 1,000 by 1922. It needs no further argument to show that added facilities and equipment are absolutely imperative. The Financial Situation. Now what is the financial situation? The present site nod building have cost $1(0,000. This property is now free of Indebtedness with the excep- tfaayof an outstanding issue of bonds aggregating $18,000, payable in serials of $€,000 •annually, so that in three years the existing Indebtedness will be entirely canceled. The assessed valuation of property in Evanston is approximately $12,000,000. The limit of bonded indebtedness for high school purposes is 5-per cent thereof, or $000,000. It Is believed by as to be impossible to acquire * new site â- :. apd building. with, our present re- ag|# ample juatiOcatio* ^sib^ S*'1R pie to vote bonds rerjUp* f#stio«|»* of our- present building, so that #• may be able to meel our urgent needs. This ls*ue£of bonds, however* not affect in any way the bond limits- tion for the graded schools of Evans- ton. Will Call An Election. The board of education has there- fore decided p> call an ej*ctf0»r $e vote on an Issue of hotidjOe^ -W quirement of additional land t6 upon and for a* adtfWflha*i-W... ^ to the amount of $250,000, bes^ijpi* terest at 4 per cent, the bonds* WK*v ture in twenty years serially. " ,rgp The estimated cost of the ground and building has/been arrtveoV sQy careful consideration and tntikymfr mates prepared by the well spfpi firm of Holablrd & Roche, architects, which firm has generously pr0m& and submitted a water color of ||e proposed building and complete ph|hs of the different floors and deipft- ments. These plans have heen|;|frr some time, aid still are, on exhibition at the High school building, and tf*« public is cordially invited to l»*f&t them. The architects nave also care- fully inspected the present building, have found ft in good condition, #nd have advised its retention and' en- largement. As will appear from notices already published and from a notice published In this issue, an-election to tote on the proposition to acquire a site, to erect a building, and to issue the bonds, will be held next Saturday |Jt- ernoon, Oct 12,, between 2 and -6 o'clock, at the High school building- [t is hoped by the members of the board and by the friends of the school that an unusually large affirmative vote on these bonds will be cast. The members of the board have given the matter very careful consid- eration for more than a year past, and respectfully recommend the adoption of the proposition, believing that, if it is adopted, the best inter- ests of Evanston will be thereby sub- served.
