WELLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS – ENLARGE 4TH WARD SCHOOL PROPOSED
J.J. HAFFEY ELECTED CHAIRMAN
[Welland Tribune, 22 January 1909]
The question of increased school accommodations was briefly discussed.
Mr. Flower said the present fourth ward school will not accommodate all the 1st and 2nd book pupils in that ward. Second book pupils have been taken to central school twice, and still the school is overcrowded. A two-room school will serve ward 4 and the central, he thought, could serve ward 3.
The buildings and grounds committee was instructed to report on enlargement of fourth ward school.
Mr. Haffey reported that it would cost about $5 a week to have kindergarten pupils transported from the fourth ward to central school. It was suggested that it would be about as cheap to open up a west side kindergarten with an afternoon session, so that one teacher would handle both classes, and that this would be much more satisfactory. The kindergarten is so large it will have to be divided anyway.
The committee was also asked to report on this matter.
EXAM PAPERS
Principal Flower asked for the addition of a duplicator to the equipment for printing examination papers. He recommended a Rotary Meostyle which would print from manuscript.
The supply committee was instructed to purchase same.
Board adjourned at 10 o’clock.
