B x n p v» riff Ladies and Gentlemen: Early in the summer of 1320 shortly after I had been elected superintendent, in keeping with your desire to establish broad and sound policies looking toward the ^uture, you requested me to make a survey of our school building needs and report from time to time as requirements derm ided. This request we„s made in recognition of the fact that a school building program in a rapidly growing city such as ours, which during the war days had fallen far behind in the provision of the actual school room needs of the pupils, and which of necessity involves a large expenditure of funds, presents a most complex problem end one demanding painstaking, detailed, scientific, sane, and practical analysis made in terms of fundamental principles of modern education and wise publice conorny. aiion Taccordance with your request and with the coopers 'rious members of the staff, in consultation wit] j 1 A] ■- ^ ^ ^ >3 ". »■ 4 4- V* 4- n E ■s o .d as individuals end as a group, and with the 3 s i ? -Vance of the architects, I have presented to the Board aVdifferent times certain facts, conclusions and recommenda¬ tions 4 - As a result of these proposals and subsequent con¬ sideration and as occasion required, the Board has made several decisions always in terms of basic assumptions and “1 Y-\ tT ■» /*v -f ^ 4- <*, 4- s T r T * r m /-r -/> >**v a J 1 — 4- U ^ * *.

These erroneous conclusions may be stated briefly as follows: 1. The proposed locations for junior high schools were not made in terms of a far-reaching program which contemplated the continued growth ox the city and the most economical and systematic extension of junior high school construction that would aim eventually to serve the entire city. 2. Since uniform amounts ($300,000) were proposed for each of four different localities, the assumption was made that buildings of uniform size would serve the needs of each of these communities, whereas the SCHOOL BUILDING S U R V E Y junior high school "population to be served in these several communities varied in numbers be¬ cause of the density of population and the size of families. Facts substantiating this state¬ ment mill be presented later. 3, The proposed locations of junior high schools in two localities would have produced an unwarranted amount of overlapping of territories served by these schools, would have required pupils to travel prohibitive distances for many years in the future, or eD.se large numbers of pupils in certain densely populated districts would have been deprived of the advantages of junior high schools. The objections cited in above may be observed by which exhibits the 1920 mate locations. Each ci location as proposed has mile. Observe, for exam overlapping of districts No. 1 and 2 and also bet' the paragraph studying Char survey s propo role enclosing a radius of 7 pie, the great between sohoc ween numbers 2 immediately t No. 4- sed appro xi- the school /g>ths of a amount of 1 locations and 4, No. 2 on the chart represents the present Amos Hiatt School, or the old East High School, to which the 1920 program proposed to add a § 100*000 addition. Careful study of this situation clearly reveals the fact that it would be a mistake to spend any money on this location as a junior high school for several reasons: a. The site is entirely too small and an addition would require the purchase of additional ex¬ pensive ground, b. If an addition were made, the major portion of the plant would be old and quite inadequate. c. Because of the capitol extension, the rapid ex¬ pansion of business houses, factories and rail- roabls to the west and south, much of the dis¬ trict around the building will not at any time in the future furnish students. At the time the proposal was made, and of course at the present time,aabout eighty or ninety per cent of the pupils attending the school were coming from the north. The location here, when with the proper location have created a territory considered together of school No. 5> would between the north d is T* T a j T TJ J <> 0 H r.p .. •— « • ' c ■ > r • - w 8 ^ r- .

Some of the points high school locations in a different way in of Chart No. 5 * in connection with these junior will be discussed again perhaps connection with the discussion 4 *. Uhils, as stated above, the total program was fairly adequate to the needs of the city in general so far as additional school room space is concerned, there was a miscalculation in determining the amount of this space needed and provided on the west side of the river as compared to the amount apportioned to the. east side, as is explained later. A NE V SURVEY For the several reasons stated above, it was regarded as being essential that a new survey be made and a new program formulated accepting those proposals of the 191& and 1920 sur¬ veys which seem feasible but modifying and extending them in terms of a. more comprehensive and practical plan. Together _ with my other duties I undertook an investigation of these problems early in the school year of 1920-21 during tin time when no building could actually be done because, while bonds totaling $3, 500,000 had been voted in March 1920, under the existing laws and the prevailing conditions of the market, This gave time for some preliminary no studies mng bonds could be sold. ending action of the 39 General Assembly and the sale of part f the bonds, which took place in the spring of 1921 and made ossible the beginning of the two new high schools and some of he grade school additions. In doing this work and in the present report I have kept in mind several general aims as follows: 1, To establish an accurate basis and method of procedure for anticipating additional school room space for the city in general and for each particular locality before it is needed and unwarranted congestion occurs. This requires that facts be assembled in such a manner as to make possible a continuing survey, -cV 3 t .i. : : d i s . * i L. j . : , > . Jv.'

To predict the growth and location of the school population particularly at five-year intervals up to 19^0> in order that any decision concern¬ ing the location of buildings may be made in terms of probable future locations, 3. To suggest provisions for the gradual completion of the plan to reorganize the school system on the 7-3-3 basis; that is, to establish elementary schools consisting of the kindergarten and the first six grades, junior high schools includ¬ ing grades 7> & end 9j and. senior high schools for grades 10 , 11 , and 12 . 4 . To provide adequate and proper school facilities for special types of pupils (tuberculax, deaf, mentally defective, retarded, delinquent, etc.) 5. To estimate the cost and recommend the amount, kind and distribution of additional school room space required to relieve the congestion in various schools and render as nearly equal as possible the educational opportunities in all localities in the city, 6 . To recommend a program of consolidation of certain schools and the elimination of other old and improperly located buildings so that as soon as practicable Des Moines will have only as many school plants properly placed as are necessary to accommodate the pupils, keeping in mind the particular needs of special activities and groups ox pupils, the ages of children and reasonable distances from homes to schools, Basic Assumptions r ith these aims in mind but with certain variations, I have held to certain basic assumptions which are as follows: 1 , There should be provided in the school system one seat or place for every child in this city who attends school, and this seat or place shall be available to him for the full time during each school day of the school year. 2 , In terms of educational aims, the entire school organization should be made to meet the varying needs of the pupils of different ages, physical fitness, mental ability, and vocational aims and aptitudes. v ‘ 9 U 0 'IT uL iA JOCKO :• . -■ i v r-r y'+.+zLuolz ±r. l nor*.X7404 ' ‘ ^ • , ' ; " ■ . • ' V • - :i . ay . ml ? ro * »• .f * 1 £ ... • C3 “ .

That the main divisions of the school system shall be the elementary school for the first seven grades, the junior high school for grades 7 , 8 and 9 * and the senior high school for grades 10 , 11 and 12 * 4 . Since the children in the elementary schools *.vill attend the kindergarten and the grades from 1 to 6 inclusive during the ages ranging from 5 to 12 , they should not be expected to walk further than approximately one half mile from home to school. 5. Since pupils in junior high schools range in age from 13 to 15, they may be expected to travel further to reach school than elementary school pupils, but should net be required to walk more than 7/oths of a mile or a mile. 6 . Since senior high school pupils range in age from lo to IS, and since the highly specialized equipment of high schools is quite expensive to the city, especially when not in use the maximum amount of time by the maximum number of students, it is proper to locate a few large high schools at strategic points keeping in mind transportation facilities as well as geographic locations, 7 * That it is cheaper and better for educational purposes to operate large schools rather than small ones. 8 . That there should be as few buildings as con¬ sistency with assumptions 4 , 5 and 6 will permit, 9, That when the territory is served in accordance with assumptions 4 , 5 -and 6 , the problem of accommodating increased numbers of pupils should be solved by enlarging the buildings, not by building new ones. 10 . That buildings should always be so planned and constructed as to render economical and easy the erection of future additions. 11 , That all poorly lighted and ventilated basement rooms and temporary buildings should be abandoned as regular classrooms as soon as possible.

SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY That a policy of economy and equalization of educational opportunity requires the abandon¬ ment and disposal of several old buildings which are now excessively expensive to maintain and are so poorly arranged and equipped as to limit education.nl advantages. 13 * That it is economy to make sure of permanent locations and build well, thus reducing largely the cost of upkeep of the school plant. l 4 . Schools should be so constructed as to serve not only as a means of meeting in a modern way the educational needs of the children but also of the community in general. (While this assumption determines more largely the actual planning of the school buildings than it does the question of location, size and cost, it does, nevertheless, enter into all of these aspects of the problem and is stated here even though this report is not written for the pur¬ pose of presenting the detailed educational features having to do largely with school house planning.) Application of the Assumptions As stated above, one of the assumptions upon which I have worked is. that elementary schools .should be located a mile apart with as little overlapping of territories as possible so that the maximum amount of territory may be served by schools thus located. This assumption was made because I believe that children in elementary schools can go these distances without hardship and that schools should not be located nearer than this for two reasons: 1 . It is Uneconomical 2 . It Reduces Educational Advantages Why it is Uneconomical — If there are more school plants than are needed properly to serve the territory, there is as a consequence an inflated in¬ vestment and cost of operation and maintenance. (See "Compara¬ tive Cost of Operating Small and Large Schools" Appendix) , Such a policy requires the purchase of too many sites, the erection of too many separate buildings, the installation and operation of too many heating plants, end an increased cost for overhead particularly for salaries of principals. Des Iloines is now forced to spend an excessive amount of money each year for the operation of its elementary schools be- Y a V H V 3 0 K I 0 J I U 3 J 0 0 H 0 8 « l:. :c . c \ f oi • .> ; f t£dT . c £ c- j c • x •** ;j r: o itrroxi.jocij© .

This was also true of school No. 3? in the Highland Park district. As time passes Des Moines should work out of this dilemma# He should so plan the selection of school sites, the consolidation of certain schools, and the elimination of others that the elementary school locations may approach as nearly as possible the situation pictured in Chart No, 2, which is inserted here merely to show the possibilities of an ideal arrangement. On Chart No. 1 it will be observed that there are at present twenty-two elementary schools west of the Des Moines River and north of the Raccoon River, Chart No. 2 shows that this same territory would be better served with fourteen schools if they were properly located. In the same manner on Chart No, 1 there are shown the fifty elementary schools which we now operate, while the entire city would be very much better served as shown on Chart No# 2 with thirty-eight schools* Chart No, 3 is patterned somewhat after the ideal locations shown on Chart No, 2 but it has been reduced to a practical working basis for future planning. All of the open circles surround schools which are now in operation but have been so selected as to provide the least overlapping of territories and at the same time serve the proper localities# The condition of the building has been kept in mind in re¬ gaining those represented by open circles and in eliminating the several which have not been placed on the chart. Those retained are more or less modern and are in relatively good condition, while those eliminated are old and expensive to operate and main¬ tain. This is illustrated by No. 6, which is the Nash School built within the last five or six years. The circles which are lettered and contain crosshatching are proposed as approximate locations for elementary schools to be built sometime in the future. There are two schools containing crosshatching which are numbered—one in Highland Park, No. .34-, and one just north of the Des :loines River on the east side, No. 24-. The former is the number of the Saylor School, and the latter is the number of the Benton School. An examination of Chart No. 1 will show the present location of these buildings. Cn the chart now under consideration I have proposed a shift in the locations of these buildings for the following reasons: o' -11- SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY School No, 34 -- Its present location as shown on Chart No, 1 is pro¬ perly situated for a junior high school for this" locality. The building is a new one, is of a two- story type, and can be made a part of a junior high school as explained later. The district to the north¬ east of its present location is growing in population steadily and 7 ;ill someday need a school building even tnough part of the territory of a school located as it is shown on Chart No. 3 will extend north of the city limits. With this arrangement there will be eventually four elementary schools surrounding the center upon which a junior high school will be located. School No, 24- — I have shifted the location of school No. 24 thinking that if this community at any time in the future in-° creases in population, the present Benton School,which is a frame building, should be abandoned, and a new and more permanent structure erected at the proper point between the Curtis and Scott- Schools, Nos. 23 and 42 respectively. If this chart (No. 3 ) can be kept constantly before those who have the responsibility for the determination of these policies, it will guide them in making intelligent decisions with reference to this important problem, I have tried in this chart to select the schools which now exist and indicate the other additional locations in such a way as completely to cover the territory as satisfactorily and consistently as both financial economy and walking distances for the children will permit. Other schools not indicated on the chart in the out¬ lying districts can always be so located as to serve the territories and not unduly overlap the other districts, I have left some distance between the circle lettered " C" in northeast Des Moines and school No, 3S, but it is quite im¬ probable that this territory will ever contain a sufficient number of residences to justify a school because it is a rail¬ road section and is virtually a swamp. However, when the time comes for consideration of the location of the school 11 0" ; the prospects of development in that community should be studied in determining the “exact location of this building and if the swamp is ever reclaimed, school "C" might be located a little further west and another one placed between it and school No. 3&* There are two other rather large populated areas which are not served as well as may be desired according to this chart. The one is located just south of Waveland Park, and the other one west of the State Fair Grounds. I do not see how these conditions can be remedied, however.

V J anol^xbrio: -12- SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY Further analysis of the chart will show that on the west side of the river I have removed the circles representing the following schools: 1. Franklin 2, McHenry 3* Grant 4, Old Cooper, now Crocker Grammar 5. Given o» Kirkwood No# 5 “ Thirteenth & Crocker Streets No. b - Seventeenth & Crocker Streets No. 7 - Twenty-third & Cottage Grove Ave. No.10 - Thirteenth & Ascension Streets No.11 - Twenty-first & Forest Ave. No.12 - Twenty-seventh & Clark Streets All of these buildings are old, lack modern arrangement and equipment, and are expensive to maintain. (See "Cost of Main¬ taining Old Buildings" in Agjson i € fe j , x . ) The schools surround¬ ing these neighborhoods, as shown on Chart No. 3> should re¬ ceive additions if the population in this entire section in¬ creases, and as time passes these additions should be made large enough to permit the abandonment and disposal of the six schools named above. This would nake available to the children in this section of the city modern, sanitary and "well-equipped buildings with ample playgrounds and at a lower cost than will be involved in the maintenance of all of these separate plants many of which can never be made, except with an excessive expenditure of money, the kind of building in which pupils may live the most wholesome life and receive the best opportunities. I predict that as a result of the reduction of population the Franklin School can be abandoned within the next three years by merely transferring its pupils without adding space to the surrounding schools. Again examining Chart No. 3> it will be observed that I have removed three schools on the east side, as shown on Chart No. l t by circles 26, 29 and yi% These schools are 1 . Emerson No. 26 2 . Webster No. 29 3 . Whittier No. 31 East Sixteenth & Maple Streets East Twelfth and Lyon Streets East Fourteenth & Washington Sts. With the exception of the Whittier School, which should be used for another purpose as explained later in the report, the same policy should be pursued with these schools as I have suggested for the six schools on the west side. If this policy is adopted and carried out, it will be possible to serve with forty-one schools the territory which now requires the operation of fifty. The schools on Chart No. 3 with crosshatching, of course, would serve new territory. Why it Reduces Educational Advantages — Numerous small buildings instead of large ones. 0 T T > .. CHART NO. 5 Junior Hi&h School locations proposed in this survey - 13 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY 1 . Render impossible the grading and grouping of pupils in accordance with their abilities and special needs. 2 . Will not justify, because of the expense in¬ volved, the provision of some features essential to a modern, educational program, namely, gymnasiums, libraries, lunch service, auditoriums, motion picture equipment, etc. 3 . Hake impossible the proper departmentalization of work thus depriving the pupils of the services of specially trained teachers and requiring all teachers to teach all subjects. Junior High School Locations As a part of the preliminary work done during the winter and spring of 1920 - 21 , I made a careful study of the drift, location, and distribution of school population with particular reference to pupils of junior high school age. This made possible the lay¬ ing out a complete plan for the probable future extension of junior high school opportunities to all sections of the city. It also provided such a basis that any decisions made regarding the location of certain junior high schools at that time under consideration could be made intelligently and with proper attention to the most probable location of junior high schools tc be built during the next twenty years, all of them being so located that all of the populated territory of the city will be served with as few schools as are necessary and with as little duplication of districts as practical conditions will permit. The results of this study are pictured on Chart No. 5> which in another form was used by the Board as a guide in pur¬ chasing three sites to which later reference will be made. These sites were Nos, 2, 3 and 4, The district imme diately west of the river and north of Grand Avenue is cne of the densely populated areas of the city. It is exactly a mile and three quarters from Grand Avenue on the south to the bend in the river on the north, and a large portion of this territory will always be used for residential purposes. It seems logical, therefore, that a junior high school be located in such a position as most advantageously to serve this section, hence the location of school No. 1 as shown on the chart. Recognizing as we have the importance of a school in this neighbor* hood, although up to this time the need has not been extremely urgent, we have all given a good deal of attention to the problem of locating a site but as yet no decision has been reached. Not¬ withstanding this fact, it has been of great value to recognize that this is the approximate location for a junior high school which must be built in order that it might serve on the west side as a sort of pivotal location in consideration of which sites to £ ■ ■ i i a j I US T 0 0 H 0 3 .-i, :x-p,j • L : t £ cf £ ■ i OC A »:.

Having this approximate location in mind and the opportunity at hand, the Board purchased a twenty acre wooded tract in the location of school No. 3 on the chart. At the time it was recognized that it might be necessary to select a site for school No. 1 somewhat further west than indicated on the chart and for that reason it would be desirable to secure a site for school No. 3 approximately a quarter of a mile west of the location shown in order to avoid overlapping with No. 1 and to serve somewhat more conveniently the district surrounding Polk Boulevard and Center Street. Such a plan seemed impractical and uneconomical since it would have been necessary to purchase property upon which many houses have already been built. On the west side of the river, therefore, site No. 3 has been purchased and the erection of a junior high school upon it is contemplated. There will also be the need for a junior high school in circle No. 1, but this site has not been selected. Schools shown at the approximate locations of circles Nos. 6, S and 10 will someday be needed, but for these no sites have yet been purchased. On the east side of the river a good deal of study was given to the advisability of spending the 2100,000 voted in the 1920 bond issue on the Amos Hiatt Junior High School located at East Twelfth and Court Avenue, as pictured on Chart No. 4-. The reasons v;hy it was concluded that this would be a. bad policy have already been discussed, but those reasons are somewhat more clearly re¬ vealed on the chart now under consideration (Chart No. 5 ) because it shows that this school, school No. 2, has been so located on the site at East Fourteenth and University Avenue as to put it largely in the center of a district which is now quite densely populated and is growing rapidly to the northeast, but also takes the south boundary line of the school fairly well out of the rail¬ road and factory section south of the Capitol, and at the same time creates on the north contiguous territory with school No. the logical location of which is quite apparent even from a brief study of the conditions, thus avoiding a rather large territory just east and south of Union Pe„rk which, under the plan of the 1520 survey, would not have had junior high school opportunities. Having determined upon these two locations in building the chart, it was logical to place another junior high school as far east as possible to avoid overlapping No, 2 and as far north as would be advisable to serve the territory being developed for residential purposes rather rapidly along Guthrie Avenue to the north and around Hubbell Boulevard, but at the same time serve the territory to the southeast around the Willard Elementary School, which is indicated on the chart. This ideal location on the original chart from which we worked was found to be at East Twenty-sixth and University Avenue r.ot quite a quarter of a mile east of the sits indicated in circle No. 4 on this chart, but a careful study of the entire neighborhood by all of the Board Members revealed the fact that, while some open territory was available at East Twenty- sixth and University, the logical location for the school at that 15 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY point would have put it on a hill requiring an excessive amount of grading and a consequent unjustifiable expense. Inasmuch as a beautiful ten acre tract of level land at East Twenty-fourth and University, which is the exact location shown on the chart, could be secured, and believing that the territory between the t*vo schools will someday be unusually densely populated, it was decided to place this school at East Twenty-fourth and University, as shown on the chart. In 1920, $300,000 was voted to erect somewhere in this vicinity a junior high school, but no funds were voted for a school shown on the chart at location No. 2. Not¬ withstanding this latter fact, the Board purchased ten acres at this point while it was available at a reasonable price with the thought that sometime the people would be asked permission to transfer the $100,000 previously voted for .an addition to Amos Hiatt to location No. 2 and add a sufficient amount to it to make possible the construction here, of a school large enough and of the type required to serve the territory indicated. School shown in circle No. 5 is located exactly on the present site of the Saylor Elementary School with the idea that the Saylor School building, being of the two-story type, can rather conveniently be made a part of a large junior high school here for reasons explained later. Circle No. 12 shows the possibility of a future location to meet the needs of this rapidly growing community. However, no site has been purchased here. On the south side of the river three suggested approximate locations are indicated by circles Nos, 7 , 9 and 11. No sites here have as yet been purchased, but this arrangement shows how junior high schools may be located in the future so that all of this territory will be served and at the same time reserve territory to the east and west, which if later developed, may be furnished junior high schools without overlapping the territories to be served by the schools indicated. It will probably be several years before any one of these schools will be needed. Having made a start on the purchase of the sites indicated on this chart, and looking forward to the extension throughout the entire city of junior high schools, this chart ought to serve as a guide to all future Boards in the selection of sites for this purpose and such decisions diould be made whenever the Board can be absolutely sure that junior high school, space will be needed in these approximate locations even though the buildings will not be erected for several years in the future, Each of the sites should contain at least ten acres. This being the case, the problem becomes increasingly difficult and expensive in pro¬ portion as the districts are populated. Therefore, as many of these sites as the Board can be assured will be needed and as can be financed within the limits of reasonable annual expenditures, should be purchased within the next four or five years.

If all of the territory covered by the circles and indicated on Chart No. 5 develops sufficiently to justify the twelve schools, they would obviously have an average attendance of about 1000, If there were fewer junior high schools than twelve, the average, of course, would be larger. If we assume, however, that no other territory than that which is covered by the circles will have to be served even during many years following 1940, and also that an area to be served by a circle of territory a mile and three quarters in diameter will produce loOO children of junior high school age, and this is probable, as shown later under the head of "Ultimate Size of School Buildings", each^of these schools can be enlarged sufficiently to accommodate lSOO students and these twelve locations would serve the entire city until the junior high school population exceeds 21 , 600 , which vail undoubtedly be many years after 1940» CERTAIN DECISIONS ALREADY HADE BY THE BOARD In the previous pages I have referred to and explained some decisions with reference to the building program which the Board has made since the spring of 1920 . I shall, therefore, list and explain below only a few of the most important ones which have not hitherto been mentioned. Locating the New Elmwood School A great deal of study by all of the Board Members and myself was given to this problem. The 1920 survey proposed that the old Elmwood School be wrecked and that a new site to the south be purchased upon which the new building should be erected. Many alternative propositions were considered, but it was finally de¬ cided that the present location is the proper one in view of the probable future development of elementary school locations in this vicinity, as shown on Chart No. 3* Upon this chart the Elmwood School is represented by circle No, 13 at its present location. It is clear that it is quite advantageously located if considered in terms of a permanent policy which would eliminate Kirkwood, Grant, Given and McHenry Schools, as explained previously. It was, of course, necessary in determining the location of this school to anticipate the future with reference to the Kirkwood School just to the north of Elmwood and located in circle No. 12 on Chart No. 1, and also a decision with reference to the permanent location of the Monroe School at its present location shown in circle No, l4. Then the Kirkwood School and the others referred to are removed, it is'quite evident that the present location is the proper one. As a result of these considerations and with the double purpose of providing more playground space and removing the school from the noise and danger of the University Street car line, additional property was purchased to the south of the present Elmwood School facing on Brattleboro Avenue and the first unit of a permanent building located at the corner of Thirty-first and Brattleboro Avenue. ~3£~ y : ' ./ ' J IU’.'G' •'J 0 O K'D 8 anoxtfoxjbexq yM ■ • .■ . w 04i?I yo .. ; sri.0 rri to e&jb£3 is OOO, "• ... ■■ ■ ■ [C ' I • < ■ * ' f- o.i • . n . ■ x i t t o j iert$o U ; vies od otf ovsci Hiw eeloxio OJB' * Uf J3 y d . ■ - Gilo* < , vr ^ i is; ■ ■ ■ ■■ ^ is .a . . . ■ id : • " . iiju ' XoonoS lo os ; : ... . t no i o x anoitfsool ovlgwj oasfijf .bnjs • . i .• . .. .r « . r* r f r Jfl 02 2HT Y v 21/ ■ 1 Vo' ' . . .

In the first place the site upon which the school is now located, about four acres, is scarcely suitable for play¬ ground purposes being cut through practically in the center by a small creek and being so much out of level as to make grading practically an impossibility. In the second place, the building was not located in rhe center of the population which attends it and if developed would have worked a permanent hardship upon many children living between its east boundary line and the west boundary line of the Douglas School in walking to either one of them. The Chart No. 6 used at the time, revealed some of these conditions and showed that if the school were moved to the site at East Twenty-ninth and Douglas Avenue, the general policy of locating elementary schools a mile apart would be carried out and there would be available for use during all the future years an excellently located and relatively level site of four acres and the school would be placed in the center of the population which attends it. The west boundary line of the present site is indicated by the perpendicular line BB and the location of the present building on Douglas Avenue in the direction toward which the arrow points. This chart presents a good illustration of the necessity of having all facts at hand and properly detailed and analyzed before decisions are reached. PREDICTING THE GROWTH OF DES MOINES GENERAL SCHOOL .0 ATT] POPULATION AND :ndance I am presenting below a series of tables which furnish a basis for the prediction of the growth in the, general population of Des ]loines and in school attendance. In all of these tables the assumption was made that the constant factor in growth is the rate. Predictions have, therefore, been made on the basis of the average rate of growth always, however, making allowance for certain variations and conditions which tend to influence growth. These tables will be presented, discussed, and explained in order that all persons concerned may understand exactly how certain im¬ portant decisions were reached with reference to the plans which must be made for the development of the school system. While I fully realize the difficulties involved in this attempt, and appreciate the fact that absolute accuracy, especially for the later years, is not likely to be the result of any method 7 '. r r •> * :■ ; -.1 T V •7 X-'-s •- , ’ * • / f . *'- -•-\ 4 ; ' ,i . ... • ' •' •r .

It is always difficult, of course, to determine when ajiy city will reach its peak in development. It does not seem to me that Des Moines will reach this point for many years to come, I-is strategic location in this wealthy and productive state with its present reputation and facilities for manufacture amid transporta¬ tion, insurance companies, and publishing houses, together with the relatively superior intelligence and good health which its population possesses, all point to a constant and persistent growth. After all, the greatest assurance of the development and prosperity of any community is found in the inherent character o its people. Superior native intelligence is the irresistible force behind all truly great progress. If opportunities for realization are not at hand, it will create them. Add to it a high level of training the successful completion of which is an accurate measure of intelligence, and you have a power that can¬ not be held back. Des Moines has both of these in abundance ranking far beyond nearly all cities in the nation of its population or larger in the percentage of high school and college graduates. Uith this fundamental basis for continued development I do not believe that 262,244- is too large a population to expect in this city by 1940. Past estimates have been too small. However, if this estimate is too high or too low, proper adjustments so far as the school system is concerned can be made as time passes because the methods I have employed in collecting and assembling data and because of the schedule I have suggested for a con¬ tinuing survey of school needs will make such adjustments possible. I am sure it is well at this time, however, to face with some courage the fact that this city has before it a large ta£k in providing for the increasing thousands of children who will re¬ quire adequate school facilities. rr H TJ 1 • .. r< T r • ,* * A . ’ . . i .• - ^ * ... , ... .u..

Knowing the school population for 1915 * 1320 , 1921 and 1922 , it was‘desirable for the purpose of getting school population and the the relation which exists between the eneral vOjyUlcttion to make an accurate estimate of the general population for 1921-22.

In other words, each year may be regarded as possessing a general population which equals 103*714% of the previous year’s population. Therefore, by multiplying the 1920 census of 126,46 b by 103*714%, we obtain 131 , 1&5 for the 1921 estimate of general population, which in turn if multiplied by 103.714% gives 136,036 for the 1922 census. The data for the school population by groups for the years 1915 > 1920 andl921 were obtained from Table No. 1 Appendix and for 1922 the figures were estimates of the principals made in June 192 . based upon the number by grades and the probable promotions and failures. These estimates for 1922 for the school system are un¬ doubtedly very accurate although the estimates of individual principals might be too high or too low. If any errors of this sort were made, they will undoubtedly balance each other. Having these facts arranged for the four years, it is possible to compute the percentage which each group of pupils is of the general population. For example, in 1915 there were in the elementary schools 12,664 pupils which is 12 % of the general city population of 105>o52. Likewise in the same year there were in the junior high school grades (grades 7 , 6 and 9 ) 3 * 32 %, .and in the senior high school years (grades 10 , 11 and 12 ) 1 . 77 % of the general population, the total in school being 16 , 070 , and the percentage of the general population actually in school being 17»09. It will be observed that for the four years in each of the groups with the exception of the elementary group, there was a fairly consistent increase in the percentage of pupils in school as related to the general population in the city. For example, in 1915 i 3 * 3 2 % of the general population was in the junior high school group. In 1920 this percentage had increased to 3*94%, in 1921 to 4.19%, nnd in 1922 to 4.34%. Similar increases will be seen in the senior high school group, while the total number of pupils in school increased from 17 . 09 % in 1915 to 16.53% 1922. In other words, during these years there was an accelerated increase in the school attendance as compared with the increase in the general population of the city, or to put it in another way, the school attendance in creased*'at a more rapid rate than the general population. This fact of accelerated increase in the school attendance as compared with the general population should not be overlooked in connection with the problem of financing public educe.tion, because if we assume a certain increase in the general population and a proportional constant increase in the actual wealth of the community, even though the educational standards requiring ex¬ penditure of money remained the same, if the school attendance in¬ creases more rapidly than the general population and the rate of increase in the wealth of the community, the proportion of the wealth or, in other words, the taxes must cf necessity be increased in order to care for the unusual burden of providing educational opportunities for the increasing numbers of children. -IS- J ' r r rj j o o h o a * -*v v/.r 9 V£ ;; loir. r . 1 > ;.-/c rrli no bitfuq«oo .. .3 srfw :i e fi c - . . , : 'io eed -rxor.i tj y.-ovt. o.t ■':.j 3 .tr *;y •; Li ■. :-jo jo *i T.r 5 oy t-?-. .^Xy.J t ; :±L ,Oq ir a: , ’ ... - .

Several other tables were used as a basis for these er part of the table were arrive at a basis for pre¬ lower half of the determinations as will be explained below. Elementary School Enrollment There was a decrease of .64fc in the elementary school en¬ rollment from 1915 to 1920 . This was the result of the pro¬ visions which were made at that time for the acceleration of certain students in these grades and the reduction of the number of retarded children. In other words, a large number of children were promoted regularly and instead of being counted among those in the first seven years of the school course in 1915 where they would have been had they failed of promotion, they were to be found in the seventh, eighth or ninth grade. This de¬ crease in the per cent of pupils enrolled in these grades is re¬ flected in the corresponding increase in the percentage of children in the junior high school years in 1920 as compared with 1915 * The many interruptions of the war days, the influenza epidemic, and the coal strike, both of whi-ch caused the closing 0 i schools, affected the progress of the children by causing a larger number of failures than had been customary in the earlier part of the five year period from 1915 to 1920 , which will undoubtedly account for the fact that the percentage of children in the elementary school in 1922 had increased from 11.34 in 1920 to 11.84 in 1922 , This percentage of 11.54 may in the future be somewhat re¬ duced with renewed emphasis on the problem of retardation and gradation but this decrease may be counterbalanced by an increase resulting from better and more attractive schools and more stringent enforcement of compulsory attendance. For these reasons 11.o4/c was chosen as a. constant figure for the percentage of elementary school children at each five year interval up to 1940* The validity of this decision may be checked by an examination of Table No. 4 which shows that there were in 1922 , 17,159 children in the city of the ages 5 to 11, these being the ages which re¬ present fairly the kindergarten and grades 1 to 6 inclusive. Based upon the estimated general population, 136 , 036 , therefore, bnere were 12.635 1° of the general population represented by these ages. Therefore, if all of the children representing these ages were in the public schools and if none of them was retarded, there .vould be this year ( 1922 ) and each year in the future good reason to expect that 12.635 p of the general population should be re¬ presented in the kindergarten and first six grades. This percentage, of course, 7/ ill probably never be reached witnout an unjustifiable amount of retardation because the perfect record", so to speak, v/ould mean that every child from 5 to 11 years of age would be in the public schools and this is not -23- SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY true and probably never will be since special types of children, because of physical or mental handicaps, remain at home or are com¬ mitted to institutions, and others attend private and parochial schools* If the ratio of 12*635 continues, there will be in the city in 1940, 33> 1 3^ children of the ages 5 to 11 but not all of these will be in school as shown immediately below* a. In 1915 the general population was 105,652 Pupils in kindergarten to grade 6 in 1915, 12,665, or 12% b* 19^0 school attendance in grades kindergarten to 6 equals 262,244 x 11*64% or 31*049 c* In 1940, therefore, 33*134 - 31,0^9 or 2,065 children of the ages 5 to 11 will not be in the public schools, d. In 1922, 17,169 - 16,101 or 1,056 children of the ages 5 to 11 were not in the public schools, The result of an investigation by the Attendance Department of the reasons why these 1066 children are not in school this year has convinced me that the necessity of complying with the compulsory attendance law is not being regarded lightly in this community. Junior High School Enrollment In 1922 there were 6636 children of the ages 12 to l4 recorded in the census. Based upon the general population of 136 , 036 , this number equals 5*025% of the general population. If this ratio con¬ tinues until 1940, there will be 13,177 children of these ages in the city. There is every reason to believe that the ratio will remain about constant, I believe that the taking of the census is now very accurately done so that no discrepancy is likely as a result of an inaccurate enumeration* Neither is there any reason to believe that the actual ratio will change before 1940 unless some very unusual and unforeseen condition arises such as an un¬ precedented increase in the percentage of relatively young married people or relatively old married people. a* In 1922 the school^ enrollment in grades 7 to 9 was 5900. This is 4,34% of the general population. If this ratio holds in 1940 there would then be 11,361 pupils in these grades, b* The 1922 census of 12 to l4 year olds equals 6636 The 1922 school enrollment grades 7 to 9 ” 5900 ~w> The difference, 93d weans that only S6«3% of the children of the ages 12 to 14 were in grades 7 to 9 t n the public schools.

Some of them, of course, are in private and parochial schools, others have been committe d to various institutions. Some of the l4 year olds are working and have labor permits. Others of these ages are so very retarded as to be in the elementary group, but their numbers are approxi¬ mately balanced by children older than l4 who are to be found in grades 7 to 9* c* In 1915 there were 3513 pupils in grades 7^9 which was 3 * 32 $ ox the general population of 105 , 652 . d. It will be observed that between 1915 and 1922 there was era increase of 1*02$ in the percentage of pupils in these grades increasing from 3 * 327 ° to 4.34$. This increase results primarily from the fact that the "holding power" of the school has increased, or, in other words, the school has become more attractive to the children and continued educational opportunities have been re¬ garded as being necessary to success in life. I believe this "holding power" and other influences will continue to operate until the percentage of pupils in these grades, based upon the general population, would approach the maximum of 5 * 025 . It seems safe to assume, therefore, that the per¬ centage will not be less than 4.60 in 1940. e. Assuming that the percentage of the general population represented by grades 7, to 9 will continue to increase to 4.60 by 1940, there will be in these grades then 12,063 pupils which will leave 1091 pupils to be accounted for as compared with the estimated census of 13,154. In other words, I do not believe my estimate of 4.60$ too high because if reached it would still fall short of the possibilities of attracting into the public schools nearly 1100 pupils who will not be there. f. Based upon the above assumption the difference of 4,34$ in 1922 and 4.60$ or-. 26 $ in 1940 has been distributed among the four five-year inter¬ vals as follows: 1925 increase 1930 " 1935 1940 " over 11 II It 1922 1925 — 8% 1930 — 1935 — Wjc o; Y 2 If \ l p • ^ * - Y * ’V - •r A rf "t t A fi jf v >.

In 1922 there were 06 .31? of 12 to 14 year olds in grades 7 9* In 1940 there will be 91*7 0f° of 12 to l4 year olds in these grades. Senior High School Enrollment a. In 1922 there were 60 II children of the ages 15 to 17 in the city. Based upon the general population of 136,036 this equals 5 , 006 % of the general population represented by these ages. If this ratio continues there will be in 1940, 13,127 children of the ages 15 to 17 in the city, b. In 1915 there were in grades 10 to 12, 1.77 1° of the general population, . c. In 1922 there were 2.35? °f the general population in grades 10 to 12 , d. The average annual rate of^increase from 1915 to 1920 or from 1.77?’ to 2.1 S? was ,0S?. The average annual increase from 1920-1922 or from 2*lo? to. .2.35' J 3. s .0&5?♦ Assuming that the annual increase in rate will continue up to 1925 at , 07 ? and from then to 1940 at . 06 ?, I arrived at the per cents used in Table No, 2, namely, 2 . 56 , 2.<36, 3*16 and 3*46. e♦ The percent used for 1940, that is 3*46, shows an approach to the maximum of 5 * 006 ? as shown on Table No. 4. TThile I confidently believe that I have been reasonably conservative in estimating a per cent for 1940, and while this estimate shows a greater discrepancy between the possible maximum and the estimated achievement than is the case with the junior high school enrollment, this may be ex¬ pected because it will be more difficult to secure the maximum enrollment of all of the pupils 15 to 17 years of age because even then I anticipate that a number of these pupils will not attend any school unless the laws are made more stringent than we have reason to believe they will be. Furthermore., the erection of the two new high schools will stimulate high school attendance. Especially will this be true in the Lincoln High School district. Table No. 12 shows that only about 2/5 as many children per 1000 are in grades 10 to 12 on the south side as attend the same grades in the west side district. : t -26- SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY Total School Enrollment In 1922 there were 30*326 children between ages 5 to 17 in the city. This is 22,666$ of the general population of 136 , 036 * If this ratio is maintained to 19^0, there will be 59,'.^33 children of ages 5 t° i7 inclusive in the city based upon a general population of 262,244, I do not believe that it is unreasonable to expect that 19*399$ the general population of 262,24-4- will be in the public schools by 1940, which is a smaller increase be¬ tween 1925 and 49'-*0 than we have actually experienced in the seven year period between 1915 and 1922* There would still remain 2.767/* of the children of the ages 5 to 17 as based upon the general population not in school. If these estimates are even approximately accurate, it means that our school enrollment will increase between 1922 to 1940, that is in an eighteen-year period, from 25,192 to 52 , 165 , an actual increase of 26,993 pupils who will require a school plant at least as large as the one which is now operating.

As the years pass, if the figures prove to be somewhat faulty, the table may be revised, but at all times it will be found quite useful in anticipating for shorter periods than five years what the general needs of the school system will be. For example, one might desire to check the total normal capacity of the junior high schools against the total number of pupils who may need accommodation by, let us say, 1929 * The capacity would then be compared with 766 ^ found in column number 5 of this table as the probable enrollment in junior high schools in 1929 * Table No. 4 PREDICTED ANNUAL GROWTH OF DES MOINES GENERAL POPULATION AND CERTAIN AGS GROUPS ( 1 ) ( 2 ) (3) (4) ( 5 ) (6) Year Des Moines Sch.

It should be understood in interpreting these age groups that a pupil is counted as eleven years of age until he is actually .twelve, fourteen until he is actually fifteen, and seventeen until he is actually eighteen. The records for 1920, 1921 , and 1922 are the actual data collected by the Attendance Department. The other years are predicted as follows: The second column was found by estimating that Des Koines is making an annual increase of 3*71^%, which is exactly equal to 20% in five years. The third column was found by taking 12 , 635 %> °f the general population in Column No. 2, the fourth column by taking 5*025% of Column No. 2, and the fifth column by taking 5 * 006 % of the correspond¬ ing figures in Column No. 2. These three per cents used for predicting the age groups for each year in Columns 3 > ^ and 5 are the per cents which the number of children counted in the three census age groups bears to the total population in 1922 . The totals in Column No. 6 were checked by multiplying the totals in No. 2 by 22.666%, which is ascertained in the same way as the other per cents. This table is very useful in checking the estimates which have been made of the growth in the actual school attendance to see that these predictions as based upon actual growth of school attendance do not exceed the possibilities of school attendance expressed always by the census age groups. In other words, such a check helps to safeguard predictions of school attendance. In the next place such a table is useful especially as it may be made somewhat more perfect in the future as a means of checking the accuracy with which the enumerators work in the annual census taking.

Predictions by Localities In some respects it is very much easier to make a prediction for the city in general than it is to predict just what may happen in any particular district. Recognizing these difficulties, I have exercised extreme care in the preparation of this table and all of the others which attempt to localize predictions. In the spring of 1922 I submitted to each principal a table showing for each school in the city the enrollment in 19.1.4, 1917 * and 1920 to¬ gether with the per cents of increase or decrease. As in all of the tables, these figures were based upon October enrollments* I requested the principals to study their own situations as careful! as possible, to confer with any of their patrons whose judgment would be of value, and as a result of all of these judgments make an estimate on the forms which I presented to them of the rate of growth for their respective school districts for the periods 1920 - 1923 and 1923 - 1925 . Having these estimates in hand together with any written explanations which they desired to submit, I asked Hr. L, H. Jester to check the principals’ estimates and present for each district what he considered to be an accurate prediction of the probable rate of growth, I have felt that because of his long years of experience in studying the development of the various sections of Des Moines, his opinion would oe very valuable. Having all of these facts in hand, and with the assistance of Mr. W. Lee Jordan, I made the estimates on probable rate of increase in school SCHOOL BUILDING -33- SURVEY- enrollment as shown in Columns 13 and 15 , and based upon these estimates the figures shown in Columns 14 and l6 were derived. These predictions took into consideration not only the rate at which the school has grown during the past years, but also the effect of changes in boundary lines, the erection or closing of schools in neighboring districts, the development of industries, the building of apartment houses, the desirability of the neighbor¬ hood as a residence district, the amount of space now available for building purposes, the likelihood of extension of manufacturing establishments, railroads or business houses, and the present popularity of the entire district as a residence section as re¬ vealed in the record of residence building permits issued by the city from April 1, 1921 to August 12, 1922, as shown in Table K of the Appendix* Some of these basic considerations may be illustrated and a method of interpreting the table indicated by studying the first two schools listed, namely, Stowe and Willard. In 1915 the Stowe School had an enrollment for the first six grades of ^5 pupils. I increased only slightly during the following two-year period, but after that its enrollment was accelerated with great rapidity until it had reached an enrollment of 209 in 1921- It will be observed that the Willard School enrollment increased between 1915 and 191? decreased very rapidly between 1 Q 17 and 1919> and then increased from 1919 to 1921 at the same time that the Stowe School was in¬ creasing very rapidly. The per cents in Columns 9> 20 > 11, and 12 are based upon the absolute figures in Columns 2 to 5* Note, How¬ ever, that" a prediction has been made that the Stowe School will increase from 1921-1923 and from 1923-1925 at the rate of 20% while the Willard School, even though the figures in Columns 2 to 5 in- dicate that this school has decreased in enrollment, will actually increase from 1921-1923 and from 192 3-1925• The reason for this is that the phenomenal growth of the Stowe School between 1917 and 1919 was due largely to the transfer of pupils from bollard School to Stowe School, while the increase in the Stowe School dis¬ trict from 1919 to 2921 was largely the result of an actual in¬ crease in the general population which to a slight extent affected the Willard district also. It is my belief that without any fur¬ ther disturbance in the transfer of pupils, these two schools will grow at the rate indicated until 1925 when we shall have in the Stowe School, as shown in Column lb, 300 pupils in grades 1 to 6, and in the Willard School, 520. All of these tables which attempt to localize predictions have been so arranged as to group the schools by localities and not alphabetically. This is a distinct advantage in that one can checl the predictions he makes for each school in the locality against the total for several schools in that locality. Such a plan is essential to approximate accuracy primarily because of changes in^ boundary lines which have been made in the past or the transfer of pupils without the change of boundary lines, and both of these are usually the result of the erection or elimination of residences. - 34 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY This table was built independently of Table No. 3 taking into consideration the factors of growth which I have suggested and made entirely in terms of local situations. It is interesting, therefore, to check it against Table No. 3* This table predicts a 1925 enrollment of 15 , 692 . Table I in the Appendix predicts that we shall have in the kindergarten by October 1925 , 2716 pupil£ or a total of 18,410 pupils. Comparing this with the elementary school enrollment for 1925 as shown in Column 3 of Table No. 3> it will be observed that the predictions in Table No. 5 based upon local conditicn s exceed the predictions for the city in general as shown in Table No. 3 by only 442 pupils, which I regard as a fortunate circumstance because it indicates that when we have attempted to distribute the general increase in the school attendance among approximately fifty schools the total increase distributed has corresponded exactly with the total increase arrived at in another manner and yet the difference is less than an average of ten pupils in a school and being somewhat greater i£ in favor of a possible relief of congestion rather than an in¬ crease . If we are willing to accept as reasonably accurate the pre¬ diction shown for the city in general in Table No. 3> that is an elementary school enrollment in 1925 of 17 , 960 , then we must accept the total predictions shown in this table (No. 5) as being sufficiently accurate but we must be largely concerned with the extent to which local conditions have been accurately interpreted. As I shall try to show later, however, when I compare the probable enrollment for 1925 with the present normal capacity of these elementary schools as shown in Table No, 16, I believe we can be quite sure that there is no danger of providing too much space in any one of the localities shown in this table if we plan to accommodate the number of pip ils in these grades which I have pre¬ dicted for 1925 * /; .

They have been grouped in this manner because they do not lie within the zones of junior high school accommodations as pre¬ sented in Chart No, 5 . It is quite difficult to make accurate predictions concerning such a group of schools because their districts- represent great susceptibility to growth if certain influences are brought to bear upon their development. For example, if the University car line should be extended westward to Sixty-third Street it is probable that the land west of the cemetery would be open for residential purposes and would be developed quite rapidly.

When boundary lines are actually and exactly arranged for these different junior high school centers, the groups as I have arranged them may not be exactly as indicated because boundary lines must be drawn by streets and not by circles. Then too it is possible that some of the fractional divisions of the enrollments, as shown in Group 4 and Group 5> nay not work out just that way* This will be particularly true with Kirkwood, McHenry, Bird and Crocker Schools, but whatever modifications in these distributions are necessary, they will make no real difference in the needs by localities as indicated by the probable enrollment. Following the same methods, as explained in Table No. 6 , I have attempted to predict the growth and enrollment of these grades in each of these groups of schools as indicated without considering the individual elementary school in the group because this is of no consequence. To illustrate, I have predicted in Group 1 that these grades will increase 13 .b$ between 1921-1923 and 12 . 3 $ be¬ tween 1923 - 1925 . If these predictions^ are correct, it will be necessary, as shown, to accommodate 1046 junior high school pupils in a school at East Twenty-fourth and University Avenue, The number of pupils requiring such accommodation in each of the districts is shown in Column No. 13. It is natural to ask the question, why were grades 6, 7 and g chosen as a basis for determining enrollment in the junior high school years which include grades 7, $ and 9? I have done this because I wishes to estimate the enrollment of pupils in these grades by localities and although I might have taken the actual figures showing the seventh and eighth grade enrollment in these localities and the ninth grade enrollment in the high schools froi these localities, it would have been quite difficult to secure these data* I have, therefore, gone directly to the local school districts and after investigation determined that it was legitimate to use grades 6, 7 and 3 as a measure of enrollment in grades 7, 8 and 9 because the two xotals practically correspond. The table just below shows that the holding power of the school combined with the number of tuition pupils who enter our schools has operated to such an extent that we have now reached the point where pupils in grades 7> 0 and 9 correspond almost exactly in number to the pupils in grades 6, 7 and G, COMPARISON OF GRADES 6 - £ WITH GRADES 7 - 9 Year Grades 6 to 8 Grades 7 to 9 Per cent grades 7-9 over grades 6 - - 3991 3irg '37.8" 1915 39 W 3513 38.S 191b 4232 4013 WWW TW7 43 m ^7 91*1 1913 W3g jR) 13 9ovr 1919 5053 9>9: 1^0 ... ‘ Rgss 9 r +*s T$ZY~ 5500 100.1 TUT7VL- 3b,Pb 33TSy r 93*1 -e r - y r v n u a o x a j i u a J 0 0 H 0 3 ,SX tns 01 t S *c JbeiQto’n 5 .oil IxsdO no asloiio sdi yd nwoxla es I svsd I a.c c doi rriJ ^o-xfinoo i >odo-; ri jid icifu/fc insisllifc saedl y ’- ’u > usoec r Lal.ocitni s. vlio xc sc ion vjsm aadi t9sn£ii c ?i col nsdT ,asio^io yd ion iorr-x Bi&siia yd nvoiit scf ianm eenxl --cii *:o eno . ie s L -ox d - ix e-i J o oraoa i. ri: elciieao . ys * i. di lsx rt ixo x’iov: ion \v,:.i ^ ^j oiO Jons ^ quotQ nl nrcrfa as bru b'ill oor>;*xi}I diiv; mel YiTsiaoilis^ scf II xr airfT 8loorio8 tBtfooxO : vdi nl eonsioiYit Iso? on \ ; II ir ysrfi ^yiBtsaoer: s;x . *ineraIIOTn© elcfedoi^ edi ye ... asiiilEooI I , ‘ >oT sic, T nl Jbenici^jcs £ stonier ‘-me oni ^nxv-oIIoY too;, x:. di to inemlloinQ Jbne niv.ox^ cdi ioxtessi ol b9iqoi9ii,8 svsd . : ?n~ xo do:;.: ni 3 1 a idi san.sosd cpxoij 9:1 nx loodoa yisinsraele limbi vital ©di opsarroo on -ocf ■■ .5 cxx ££?I-ISgI neei . .

The table was made as a check on other tables. It would be possible, if all children lived to the age of seventeen and if none of them dropped out of school, to have three-sevenths as many in grades 7. to 9 or 10 to 12 as there ivould be in the kindergarten and first six grades, that is, there would be in the senior high school groun or the junior high school group 42.g# of the pupils in the kinder-' garten to grade o inclusive. It will be observed that this table is .so built as to predict an enrollment in the junior high school years in 1940 which equals only 3 &*$ per cent of the elementary senool enrollment at that time and that the senior high school en¬ rollment is predicted at 2J.2% of the elementary school enrollment. Botn of tnese predictions are I feel, relatively conservative as compared to tne possible 42.gjL If they had been larger than 42. tnen the prediction s in all p robability would have been invalid. * V -X - Y P 1 : U 3 0 H I ( J I U u J 0 0 H 0 3 brt£ .{1.4*1 4 vXdr. t gl bL. ri o 3 el . .. ns.

The senior high school enrollment increased in its relation to elementary school enrollment from 13 * 57 ® in 19 ^ to 1Q.5 1 C in 1921 , while the elementary school enrollment in¬ creased from 25 . 3 $ to 35*9 c i° in its relation to the elementary school attendance. The per cents for 1922 and the later years show bear the to making relation which these two groups of pupils will probably the elementary school group amid assist materially in the md interpretation of the next five tables. THE RELATION OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT E LEI. IE NT ARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENT ARRANGED EY LOCAL I TIES TO Here again having general estimates of probable enrollment in the different divisions of the school system, as shown in previous tables, it is necessary for practical purposes to subdivide and localize these general estimates so that the needs of each school unit may be analyzed and determined. Therefore, the method employed in determining the probable enrollment in each of the five senior high schools is based upon the ratio which it is ex¬ pected that the senior high school attendance in each of these districts will bear to the elementary school enrollment in the schools that must necessarily serve the senior high schools. For the city in general, as stated above, these ratios are exhibited in Table No, 9 * in Tables 10 to l4 inclusive the application of this method has been made to each of the five senior high school districts. ■j- x ■. >: ■ o . - v i . y* '.gl v .. /; ( y y.'.y , - i .£ : o i rw i r 1. £.

It 'Till be observed that each of the three high schools shov/o a rather large increase in the percentage of elementary school pupils represented by the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. East High School increased from 12.1$ in 1915 to 19«5$ in 1921. creases, although not so large, were registered in the other schools also. The 1921 per cents for East, west and North High Schools do not contain pupils from the south side, these having been subtracted for the purpose of ascertaining the percentage of south side elementary school pupils who were actually enrolled in grades 10, 11, .and 12 in the three high schools. After considering many factors involved, I have made the estimates shown in the lower part of the table predicting that East High School will con¬ tinue to attract and hold an increasing percenta 0 e of the elementary school population which surrounds it until by 1925 this percentage will have increased from 19.5 1° in 19^1 to 21$. I have estimated that Rest High School will enroll 29 $ of its elementary school population, Roosevelt 26$, and North High 20.5$* If these percentages hold in 1925 , there will remain of the 3665 'HO 2 Yu IIX oJ X vV a. 9 :.I .

I do not believe that these predicted percentages will prove to be very inaccurate. If there is any difference, it will pro¬ bably be in favor of a larger percentage in the Lincoln High School, yet the increase from 9*2% to 12.6% is a good deal larger than I have predicted for any other section of the city. The per cents for 1915> 1917, and 1919 for East, North and Nest High Schools contain children from the south side; the 1921 per cent does not.

Number of separate buildings used in the bperation of the school* 3* Normal capacity of kindergarten, grades, ana total. For the guidance of the principals the following notes were provided: 1* In estimating kindergarten normal capacity, use the number of children that you think can be accommodated in your kindergarten keeping in mind that approximately one-half of them will come in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. 2. Disregard rooms which are now being used for manual train¬ ing, cooking, and sewing. 3. Disregard temporary buildings. 4. Disregard any rooms in the building which are now being used but which you believe are not suitable for permanent use. These would undoubtedly include certain basement rooms which are too dark and are poorly ventilated. 5« Exclusive of the kindergarten, estimate the capacity of all other rooms of sufficient size as forty (4o) pupils. 6. The capacity of those sections of your building which con¬ tain small recitation rooms and a large assembly room will have to be determined on the basis of the kind of program which you think can be operated with reasonable ■efficiency. I presume a fair measure of this would be the number of pupils who can be accommodated comfortably in the small recitation rooms while a class of forty students is at work in the assembly room. 7» Consider the normal capacity of a community room as forty pupils. 2>. In preparing this record you will undoubtedly desire to write some explanations concerning the methods you have used in determining normal capacity. I shall be very glad indeed to have any of these explanations which you think will be serviceable to us. All of these individual records submitted by principals have been studied carefully and used as a basis for determining normal capacity as shorn in this table. They were also, of course, very useful in adjusting boundary lines in the summer of 1922 , arrangir for the transfer of pupils, and in other ways providing for the relief of unusual congestion in various buildings. . 1 1 • 3 ?. jgIo ae/ :• : c , yc iu sts cfui°ra jaex g i <1 * X to aoitexeq > 3M ni beau agixibliuc . % S ♦ Xoon'oe * f "ot > ' % rebrx,$ ,r:ov-u 3i-bnX> to yi icxsqr.o Xacnol-l i - Sc; rorrx’i ; 'at xo sorccbin ■ 6rft to' 5 ! tfc 9 bxvoiq o.t ent oaxr , 1 to ^c ;^ooo/? otf nro inirlt x/oy t.ndt nsiblirio to ' ' ' nX gnxq < :{ t . ,oc rrx:/ iix :.I/.r?

Of course, better work could be done with fewer than that, but I have made this judgment not alone in terms of educational efficiency but in consideration also of reasonable financial investment for building space. It will be understood, of course, that an average of thirty-five means that some classes will be larger and some smaller. The normal capacity of forty pupils per room has been use¬ ful this year in trying to take care of the pupils in the more congested districts. I have also put back into the records in this table the norm:' capacity of the temporary two-room buildings which are in use on several of the sites. In each of these cases the building which includes a temporary structure is indicated by means of a star (*) in the first column. If a star is shown in the third column, it indicates that the kindergarten has been included. The primary value of such a table as this is to provide in condensed form the basis for anticipating additions to buildings which already exist. In the case of each building the need for additional room is ba,sed upon an increase of thirty-five pupils or major fraction thereof. For example, in Stowe School I estimate that the building 'would have an enrollment which exceeds its capacity in 1923 of seventy-five pupils as indicated by the minus sign, and will require in the fall of 1923 two additional rooms, whereas, by 1925 as indicated in columns 7 and £, this building will have a surplus of one hundred twenty-five pupils and will need four additional classrooms. Several of the build¬ ings, of course, are overcrowded at the present time and will be still further congested in September 1923 as indicated in Columns 4 and 5* Some of the congestion in some of the locations can be taken care of in 1923 through transfers and other arrangements, but the overcrowded conditions indicated in Columns 7 and S can be relived only through the construction of additional school room space. In latter sections of the report I shall refer to this particular table and at that time will discuss in detail what I believe to be the proper procedure with reference to each one of the buildings shown in the table. .

The records for Lincoln and Roosevelt high schools show the actual number of rooms as the buildings will stand when completed under the present contracts* This means, of course, that the twelve classrooms in the southwest wing of the complete plan for Lincoln High School have not been counted because this wing has not been built* In Roosevelt High School the rooms in the south central wing, which is not being built, are not counted and neither are the six rooms in the southeast wing of this build¬ ing because it is merely being enclosed and is not being finished# To finish and equip these six rooms would cost approximately $40,000,00* The second part of the table provides an estimate of the normal capacity of these buildings on the basis of a one session program. The ideal capacity shown in third column assumes that each room in the building will have in it at any one period of the day twenty-eight pupils counting all of the special rooms such as the auditorium, cafeteria, library, etc. Such a condition, of course, will not obtain, but the fourth column headed "Real Capacity in Per Cents" shows what I consider to be the normal, actual per cent of the ideal capacity which we can reasonably expect to secure in each of the five buildings. The fifth column shows the actual normal capacity for the building. Unless there is some radical change in the methods of operating high schools, which would place unusually large groups of pupils together for certain activities, we cannot expect to secure constant use of 100% of the ideal capacity, In the first place, it is clear that the larger the school enrollment the nearer this ideal capacity can be approached in the actual attendance because under the elective system there is a better chance that each of the special rooms such as sewing and cooking laboratories, industrial shops, science laboratories, art rooms, etc* will be filled by classes of pupils every period in the day* On the other hand, in the school with a relatively small enroll¬ ment the pupils desiring these subjects may not be sufficient in number to justify the organization of a class each period in the day and yet the room, because of its special equipment, cannot be used for other purposes. In the second place, in schools with a large enrollment it is easier to maintain classes which are uniform in size and which equal or approximate very closely the average number of pupils which we have set up as our standard, but for example in a school with a small enrollment it may happen that in some subject, let us say third year French, forty-two pupils are enrolled* This enrollment is too large for one class and should, therefore, be divided into two groups, which means an SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY average number per class in ^his subject of twenty-one instead, of twenty-eight• These two factors, namely the difficulties in putting to the maximum use rooms with special equipment, and the decrease in the average number of pupils per class resulting from an insufficient number of students electing certain courses to secure average membership, operate to decrease or increase the normal capacity of a school in proportion as the building enrolls a relatively small or large number of students. In other words, it is not as easily possible for a school with an enrollment of 1000 pupils to make use of its space the maximum amount of time as it is for a school of 1500 or 2000 students. The fact of the matter is, it would be much cheaper and I think better for any city to operate schools with enrollments much larger than 2000* Although East High School has a larger ideal capacity than Lincoln or Roosevelt, the percentage of this capacity which may be converted into real capacity has been listed at £5 instead of 90 as is the case with Lincoln and Roosevelt because the class¬ rooms at East High School are too small to permit the comfortable accommodation of the number of pupils necessary to maintain an average of twenty-eight. It must be kept in mind, of course, that some classes will bethirty-two or thirty-three whereas otheis are twenty-two or twenty-three. The West High School real capacity has been estimated at £ 5 1 ° even though its ideal capacity is not as large as East High School because at West High the class¬ rooms are larger. This is the reason also for estimating the real capacity for Lincoln and Roosevelt Schools at 90$* The North High School capacity is placed at £0$ because it has the smallest ideal capacity, and because of the factors entering into the situation as discussed above, it has been rated the lowest.

It would be well to wait a little longer to ascertain exactly what is likely to happen to this district by way of increc.se or decrease in school population. 2. In view of this fact and also since it is not necessary to undertake any permanent construction at the building, it would be economy to postpone an addition here. The future development will determine in a measure If, as shown on Chart No, 3 of the Benton School district also what ought to be done at Curtis Schoc the Benton School population should grow sufficiently wo justify a new building located to the east as indicated on that chart, in all probability such a building would be sufficiently large to make possible the * drawal of a certain number of children from Curtis School making unnecessary the use of the temporary building. with- thus Douglas end Adams Schools - The table shows a need for four rooms in these schools by 1925 but the figures do not % re veal the situation as it is and will be. These schools may be considered together because they serve contiguous territories.

This reduces the need there in 19^5 to one room instead of two. The proposed plan for Adams School contemplates a new four-room building at Twenty-ninth Street and Douglas Avenue to replace the old temporary one of three rooms now located further west, which will undoubtedly be abandoned when the new school is completed or else moved to some other location to serve a temporary need. The figures show that in addition to the three rooms already in use in the Adams building, we shall need two more, making five in all* If the four-room build’* ing is provided and the old three-room structure abandoned, there will be for Adams School one more room than we have now but one less than will be needed, I believe this arrangement will quite adequately care for the needs during the school year of 1925 - 26 , however, because if we consider the two building's together as they will be ’when completed, that is, the one room finished at Douglas and the new four-room building at Adams, their combined capacity will be 305 pupils and their combined 1925 predicted enrollment 316 .

Some may be too others too low. Mr* H. D. Rawson assisted in making them and although we had for use the actual costs of buildings already let, we did not have other necessary facts at hand. I believe, how¬ ever, that they are sufficiently accurate to furnish a proper basis for judgment concerning a building policy and program. When the Eoard has decided upon the projects to be undertaken and be¬ fore the people are asked to vote on them, each one should be studied carefully, sketches prepared and accurate estimates of complete costs made. These will differ, of course, in some in¬ stances, especially with additions to old buildings even though the proposed additional pupil capacity or "number of rooms" is the same because of the relative work can be done, or, becau ease or difficulty with which the of the need of altering the old part somewhat or because of a difference in the types of rooms required to carry out the educational program. This would insure completeness of construction with no unnecessary shortage or sur¬ plus of funds. Always, I believe a. building project should be finished when the major portion of the work is done. This means that the building would be constructed, the interior walls paint¬ ed so they may be washed and kept clean, the grounds landscaped and graded, the playground surfaced, and the necessary side walks, drive ways and fences built. Such buildings and sites would not only be most beneficial to the pupils; they would be a credit to the city as well, when funds are voted they should be sufficient to "finish the job". It is at once a policy of economy, neat¬ ness and efficiency. After it is finished the upkeep is small; its completeness adds harmony and beauty to the situation, pro¬ vides conditions that pupils and teachers need and frees Board Members and administrators to think of other problems of larger importance, Junior and Senior High School Situation By September 1925 , according to my predictions, the number oi seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students indicated opposite the schools shown below will require accommodation.

Can the 1925 enrollment in these grades ( 3691 ) he accommodated if East High School continues to operate a two-session program running up to a most extreme and unwarranted capacity on this basis ( 3000 ) together with the space available at Amos Hiatt building (700)? Yes, but the plan would be inadvisable for two reasons: a. It would force extreme congestion, the objectionable two-session program, and very inefficient work at East High School. b. There would remain 691 pupils to attend Amos Hiatt School. These pupils would be drawn from the territory nearest Amos Hiatt, thus requiring the seventh and eighth grade pupils from Phillips, Brooks, and Willard to travel a long dis¬ tance to East High School at added expense where they would suffer the disadvantage of a two-session program.

The continuance of the two-session program at East High School* b. In the neighborhood of East Twenty-fourth and University there will be 1C 46 pupils* About two-thirds of these, or 700 will be in grades 7 and 3, It. would not be the best plan to request l4o of the ninth grade pupils to remain in this new junior high with a capacity of g4o thus requiring the other r.inbh grade pupils (about 206) to go to East High School, because those going to East High would be attending a two-session program, whereas those in the junior high school would operate under a one-session program, c* In the Amos Hiatt neighborhood (schools shown in Group 2 above) there would be 1209 pupils in grades 7? 6 and 9 divided about as follows: 7 th and 3th grade pupils -30o 9 th grade pupils -4op Since Amos Hiatt can accommodate only 700, it is obvious that 106 of the 3 th grade pupils as well as the 403 9 th grade pupils would have to go to East High School and fit into the two-session program because East High would have an enrollment of 2151.

This junior high school could then accommodate 10 46 pupils in that neighborhood and would relieve East High Schoolo f 20 6 ninth grade pupils, thus reducing the East High membership to 194p, a number far too large to permit a one-session program, THE PROPOSED SOLUTION In view of the foregoing calculations and conclusions, I recommend for your consideration the following proposals: 1* That the two-session program at East High School be abandoned as soon as relief can be given to this school* 2* That a junior high school with a capacity of 1200 pupils be erected at East Twenty-fourth and University and that it be planned and financed as follows: a. It should be a. unit of a definitely planned complete structure designed to accommodate at least 1600 students and to permit additions to provide for an indefinite enrollment. b. As soon as possible bids should be secured on the 1200 pupil capacity structure and so made as to provide two general alternates: l 1 For a portion of the building not to cost more than $ 300,000 and to accommodate 640 pupils, 2* For an additional portion to accommodate approximately 3&0 pupils, an auditorium, cafeteria and some other necessary features which do not actually increase capacity, at a cost not to exceed approximately $ 275 > 000 , ,r ft y »/* g 0 Tf I : > * 71 1 A V i S V rr .. 0 . • f . . -7 -r f f J i e j • r / i... . 4 • . . * ' .

The people should be asked to authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of § 275,000 for the second portion of the building, and § 60.000 to furnish equipment for the entire structure arid develop the grounds* That the Amos Hiatt Annex, the old Cary School, at East Fourteenth and Court Avenue, which now houses 175 seventh and eighth grade pupils, be utilised, as a center for exceptional children the need of which is explained later.* That an effort be mads to dispose of the Amos Hiatt property, the old East High School, for the reasons stated on pages 4 and 5* 5* That a junior high school with a capacity of 1200 pupils be erected on the site at East Fourteenth and University costing §©35,000 to build, equip, and develop the grounds. There is no money available for this building ;ed As in 1920 previously stated, i 100,000 in bonds was vou for the purpose of providing an addition to Amos Hiatt (see pages 3 end 4), The people should be asked to give permission to transfer this to the East Fourteenth and University site eind add {'535*000 in bonds to it* 6* 'Without doubt it will be necessary about 1927 to construct .an addition to East High School consisting of rooms arranged and equipped for physical and industrial • education* In that year the school will need more space for the accommodation of its enrollment.

It is not possible, with one gymnasium and one pool in each school, to provide a real program of physical education for all of the students. It would be a great advantage to the present membership if the addition could be made now, but I have not recommended it because the school can take care of its enrollment until about 1927 , if lieved as suggested above, with the restricted program which ha.s been in operation for several years. This is true of the other two schools also. In 1927, the three schools, that is, East, West and North High Schools will have reached their capacity accommodation and should at that time receive the additions needed for these purposes. At North High School, however, no additional provisions for industrial education will be needed. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSALS If the six proposals made above are adopted and carried out, the space provided will be sufficient to meet the needs of all pupils in grades 7 to 12 inclusive on the east side until 1927 * The elimination of Amos Hiatt and its annex as junior high school space, and the adoption of the other proposals would bring this result * Table No. 20 COST OF EAST SIDE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSALS (i) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) S cho ol Funds to Pay for Pupil Capacity Total Cost Amt. now:Amt. to Available:be Voted Junior high school at E. 24th & University Bldg., e qui pment 8c ground develop¬ ment 1200 635,000 300,000 335,ooo "Junior high school at E. l4th & University Bldg ., equipment & ground develop¬ ment 1200 635,000 100,000 M- ir 535,000 East High School • * *. • 1570 — — TOTAL J97U 1 , 2 (uTUuu 4-uo,oocr 6 (V ,UUU # This amount now available for Amos Hiatt.

If this is done, it will be necessary to construct at East Fourteenth and University a junior high school with a capacity of only $40 instead of 1200 as proposed under No. 5 above. The effects of the adoption of this alternate would be: Advantages — a. An increase in total junior and senior high school capacity * b, A reduction of §295,000 in the immediate cost. Disadvantages -- a. The enforced use of the Amos Hiatt building which is old, not well arranged and equipped, lacking in necessary playgrounds, and. with a high maintenance cost. b. Only a part of the pupils from Longfellow and Webster Schools could be accommodated at East Fourteenth and University together with those from Wallace, Logan, and Emerson, The others would have to attend Amos Hiatt together with the pupils from Lucas, Curtis, and Benton Schools. This, of course, can be done but such a division of class groups by neighborhoods is always a difficult thing to administer because some of the pupils have the advantages of modern up-to-da,te equipment, and others are required to attend an old school, r--' % 67 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY The following table shows the effects of this alternative in concise form: Table No. 22 EFFECTS OF ADOPTING THE ALTERNATIVE No. 1 (1) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) (4) (5) School Capacity Probable Enrollment 1925 Probable Enrollment 1927 Amount to be Voted Junior high school at E.24-th & University 1200 io46 1171 335,000 Junior high school at E.l4th & University o4c 1209 1239 240,000 Arnos Hiatt 525 — East High School 1570 1436 1561 ....... r :&m. 4T35— ^ 3t>Tl •—' - —575,000" 2. If proposals 3 and 4 are not adopted, the advantages and disadvantages as explained under alternate No, 1 would obtain, the only difference being that the capacity would be increased by about 175 pupils plus the consequent disadvantage to all of the east side elementary schools and to a number of exceptional children resulting from the enforced attendance of these children in regularly organized schools and classes. 3. As shown under the discussion of the various proposals if any other alternates are adopted, the two-session program at East High School will have to continue.

Explanations of Proposals — Cattell School -- It is predicted that the Cattell School will have an enroll¬ ment of 131 pupils in 1925 who cannot be accommodated. I am, therefore, recommending that a four-room addition be made to this building together with the necessary alterations of the old build¬ ing to provide a school plant in which a modern, educational pro¬ gram can be operated. Saylor School — Although the prediction shown in the table indicates that only one room will be needed, there ought to be more space provided be¬ cause of the fact that we now have in operation at this school a. two-room temporary building. Because of this I am recommending that a four-room addition be made to this school inasmuch as it will undoubtedly continue to be operated as an elementary school for a few years at least, perhaps until 1927-1920 at which time explained later, it can be replaced by a small building to northeast of the present building plus the addition utilized the accommodation of the anticipated increase in junior high school enrollment. the for Oak Park School — This is one of the old buildings of the city, is now badly - - --O - ~ ~ ^ v over-crowded, and accommodates about SO pupils in a two-room temporary building.

A junior high school be erected and made ready for occupancy by September 1924 on the site of the present Saylor School arid some property adjacent thereto which ought to be purchased. It can be so situated as to face north and have as one of its wrings the Saylor School, which should be continued in use as an elementary school until it becomes necessary to build a new Saylor School to the northeast of the present site. This will probably be about 1927* The junior high school part of the plant should be built for a capacity of JOG pupils including in the first unit an auditorium, the physical education department, shops, and cafeteria. To do this, equip the building, and develop the grounds will cost approximately $500,000. Certain facts with reference to this junior high school project are shown below: Table No. 25 COSTS (1)_(2)_ (3) (n (5 )_( 6 ) : P\mds to Pay School : for • • Capacity Total Cost Amt, :Amt, to Now :be A v ai 1 ab 1 e: V 01 e d Junior High School:Building, at Ovid and Cor- :Equipment & nell Streets :Development :of Grounds 900 300,000 * 300,000 *200,000 » 0 • ♦ Table No. 2q COMPARISON OF CAPACITY AND PR0BA3L- ;nrolli*ent School Capacity 1924 Probe.ble Enrollment 1925 Probable :Cap. in 1927 when Enrollment:Saylor Sch, pip ilz 1927 :may be removed to :new building * Jr. high Sch. at Ovid & Cor¬ nell Streets 900 615 • 950 : 1200 0 • r ’hen the Saylor elementary that the wing reserved for accommodate them, the time School to the northeast of that from school attendance reaches the point these this will occur about children can no longer will have come for a new Saylor the present sire.

(See section entitled "Small Recitation Rooms in Elementary Schools"), Nash School — This is a rapidly growing district and will require the four rooms which I ha^e recommended. It is a new building and ■would, therefore, make unnecessary alterations. Casady School — Thi s and will require at is another district which is growing quite rapidly least three rooms, but I have recommended four as in other cases because it is frequently easier to build an addition of four rooms than it is to make one of three* Wherever such a condition prevails one or two rooms might be left unfinished until they are actually needed, which would post pone a small part of the expenditure. The additional room in this school, however, will be needed for the accommodation of pupils transferred from the Given School, as explained in the next paragraf - V This building is one of a peculiar design built on the hollow square plan, so jL T to c* . _ O s-' ak.. the corr ldor be 1 ng in the center of the building and the classrooms on There are I pQ UIlv two 0 then buildings m on same clesi Such a olan ma.

These fifty-seven pupils should be transferred to the Nash, Casady and Kirkwood Schools located in the immediate neighborhoods Kirkwood School — The Kirkwood School will have a small amount of available space even after it has received by transfer some of the pupils from the Given School. However, its capacity as figured con¬ templated the use of two or three very small classrooms which have been made by subdividing classrooms of standard size.

More playground Lincoln School — Because of the location of this building, which is on a s of unusual value for commercial or industrial purposes, and al though it has served to good advantage up to date in meeting t emergencies of congestion following the war, it is, I believe, advisable to maintain it only as long as it is impossible to accommodate elsewhere the elementary and continuation school p who now attend it. A long time lease of this property or its would produce such revenue or funds as to assist largely in li ting the financial burdens of operating the entire system and ought to be consummated as soon as satisfactory arrangements c be made to care for the pupils in attendance there. ite tin up i 1 s al e o o * 4 - 0 * an - 74 - SCHOOL- BUILDING S U R V Y I am offering below some suggestions of a possible plan of handling the situation but shall desire later, when I shall have had time to secure some needed facts, to present in a supple¬ mentary report some cerning it. I specific and detailed recommendations con- shall do this within the near future. The development of industrial establishments end business houses with the consequent outward drift of the population will reduce the enrollment in this school as the years pass. The predictions show that by 1925 it will have only one hundred thirty-nine elementary school pupils (grades 1 - 6 ) within its present boundaries. Many of these pupils can be transferred to the Bird, Crocker and Curtis Schools, and if necessary, some can be sent to the Franklin School until it is abandoned. This transfer would affect the children living to the north of Lincoln School and in many instances it would be a distinct advantage to these children by removing them from the necessity of crossing Grand Avenue, Locust, Dalnut and Mulberry Streets even though they might have to travel further to reach the schools to the north. r ith this arrangement, however, these distances would not be prohibitive. The remaining children living near Lincoln School and to the south of i mi e> o il Ij be accommodated in a small well arranged and equipped building of a temporary character erected to the southwest of the pre might be leased. 3 nr site on a site which The eason for recommending a temporary arrange here for a few years is based upon the belief that the menti j.^2. a ± ^ w y school population of this entire neighborhood will continu steadily to decrease in number. At any rate the future of this neighborhood is at the present time so uncertain as to render unjustifiable permanent plans requiring more expenditure than absolutely necessary. The Continuation School pupils who now attend this building can be taken care of as explained in the supplementary r eport♦ is Hubbell School — This school is located more rapidly perhaps than a will require at least three therefore, recommending a f in a district which is ny other neighborhood of rooms completed by 1925 our-room addition. developing the city and .

Since the normal o r f 4 SCHOOL BUILDING - 75 - SURVEY growth of this school will require two additional rooms, and since the temporary building ought to be removed, these two facts alone will make necessary the use of four of the *ne»v rooms now under construction. The other rooms in the new part will be put to use and a corresponding number in the old building used as play rooms and for other purposes until such time as it may be necessary to use them again for regular classroom purposes. Grant School -- This is one of the buildings which, according to Chart Ho. 3 and its explanations should someday be abandoned and although Table Wo, 27 shows that it will have some available space, this will not be the case if pupils are transferred to it from school districts to the south and east, as suggested above.

The present normal one-session program capacity (December 1922, Table No. 17 for high schools) of the junior and senior high school buildings on the west side which might be used for the accommodation of these pupils is North High School- 873 Rest High School- 1285 Roosevelt High School-----1110 Washington Irving Junior High School -——-400 Old Cooper School (now Crocker Grammar)-*- 210 Total-4078 Bringing together the figures shown above concerning 1925 probable enrollment and the present capacity, we have the follow¬ ing: Total number of pupils in grades 7 to 12 to be accommodated in 1925 in junior and senior high schools --4658 Total present capacity available-- 4076 Number of pupils in excess capacity--580 The General Problem — The general problem of housing these 4658 pupils with capaci for 4078 may be stated as follows: 1. If additional capacity for the 58 O pupils is provided, where should it be located? 2. If this capacity is provided, will the other available school room space be so distributed as to be reason¬ ably accessible to the pupils who must occupy it? 3. Is all of the available space suitable—(safe, sanitary, hygienic, so arranged and equipped as to give all of the pupils in the group fairly equal opportunities), or should some of it be abandoned or put to another use ? The Proposed Solution — Because we regard the two-session program in the high schools as objectionable, I am leaving it out of consideration in this discussion. It would be possible, of course, if the three higi -7o- SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY schools on the '.Test side, that is. North, Best and Roosevelt Schools, were operated on this plan to house all of the junior and senior high school students until about 1930 « I wish to recommend, for your consideration: 1. That the old Cooper School, now called the Crocker Grammar School, located at Thirteenth and Ascension Streets be disposed of as soon as the pupils now attending it can be accommodated elsewhere, and that the present Hashington Irving Junior High School building, the old Nash building, be discontinued as a junior high school and made available for the use of exceptional children from the North Dss Moines territory, in accordance with the plans proposed later under the section entitled "The Care of Ex¬ ception al Children". These two schools now accommodate their full capacity of 6l0 pupils. The buildings are of the oldest type offering only to a very limited extent the upper grade educational opportunities contemplated for other sections of the city where junior or senior high schools will be provided for pupils of these grades. The Cooper School is represented by No. 10 on chart No. 1, is on a streetcar line, has a very small undeveloped playground, is not needed in that niegliborhood as an elementary school, as previously explained, consists entirely of classrooms, can house only 210 pupils, which is too small a number to permit advantageous classification, and has reached the point where it can be put in good condition and maintained only at a relatively large expense. As stated above, the Washington Irving School also is old and provides scarcely enough play¬ ground for 100 pupils. Its best feature is its machine shop, which is entire^ too elaborate for junior high school pupils. The machines should be removed to a senior high school where the boys are more mature and capable of doing the advanced work which requires the kind of equipment now at Washington Irving and with which the senior high school boys are not now provided, kith very little expense the build¬ ing can be converted into a satisfactory school for exceptional children, a provision much need¬ ed in this section of the city. 2. That a sits suitable for a junior high school in North Dos Moines in the vicinity of No. 1, shown on Chart No. be obtained and a junior high school with a 79 - SCHOOL UUILD1ITG SURVEY the capacity of 1200 pupils be erected thereon. As with other junior high schools, it should be so planned that additions may easily and with the greatest economy be made to it. This building should be planned and financed in the seme *.vay as the one located at East Twenty-fourth and University, which I have previously discussed under the title "The East Side Situation". In the _ - t* 1920 election the issuance of $ 300,000 in bonds f this building was authorized. I estimate that it f> x* W _ or will cost ,635 no.. 3. That the present T est High School operate as a junior senior high school accommodating junior high school pupils from the elementary schools in that vicinity, and the senior high school pupils from the elementary schools, as shown in Table Ho. 12 On the basis of this recommended ion there will pro¬ bably be an enrollment of 400 junior high school pupils in this school each year until at least 1530 * I do not anticipate any very large deviation from this estimate because some of the neighborhoods in¬ volved may increase somewhat in population but other will decrease. I have estimated also that the senior high school enrollment in this school will be Numbs r Year 791 - 1925 o 34 - -<-1527 911 - 1936 The totals of these two groups will approximately equal the normal capacity of Rest High School in 1927 * (See Table No. 30 ). 4. That a junior high school with a capacity of about 750 pupils be erected on the site at Rest Thirty-first and Center Streets to accommodate the pupils from the elementary schools approximately as shown in Table No. 30 below, In the 1920 election, the issuance of $300,000 in bonds for this building was authorized. Hence this sum is now available. I believe a school large enough to serve the needs of this location until 1930 equipped, and containing an auditorium, cafeteria, and the necessary shops and rooms for physical education. can be built for the sum of 77C nJ l j » ' -''-'O different problem from the ones on the This east is a side, -SO- c H 0 0 L T — _/ u I L D I N G S U R V E Y in Highl and jJ- l u , and in Nor tli Des Moin es since the amount a v.aila ble for eac Ii of those schools is the same out the enro Ilmen t s will be mu oh larger. It is ne cess ?-y, 4- N v> 0 iX'-/ X ef or - > as explaine d before. to plan the const ruct ion at the other 1 0 caations in such a way as to secure for the money avail¬ able (£ 300 , 000 ) plus £4-0,000, that is, £340,000, the maximum of standard classroom spare equippc ' (estimated at C4o pupils) and let the decision ’U ~ -n ~ .£.*•_ ___ __ _ _ 1 * of the 'Thether or no people ci t the other next election determine may be added* T ^ .1 ^ Co tures 5« That the Roosevelt High School operate as a junior-senior high school accommodating the junior high school pupils the elementary schools as shown in Table No, 30, a the senior high school pupils from the elementary schools about as shorn in Tab1e No.13. 1 rom an* Operating on this plan the school rill be somenhat under capacity in enrollment until 1927 at which time the additional space should be provided. The south¬ east wing which is not now being finished has not been included in the estimate of the normal capacity of this building and the space it will add to the normal capacity will probably not be needed, so far as merely housing the pip ils is concerned, until about 1527- Notwithstanding this fact, since this wing, which could not be otherwise planned, con¬ tains the girls' gymnasium, a smaller room for remedial gymnastics, the health department, and the biological laboratory, it is quite advisable that these special features by provided as soon as possible in order that they may be made available for the use of the pupils who do attend the school. It should be understood, of course, that the pupils who will attend this school can be accommodated in the other portions of the building consisting lafgeiy of classrooms, if it seems in¬ advisable to ash for the necessary additional amount to finish the interior of this wing, but they would, of course, be deprived of some of the very essential rooms and activities. The effect of the completion of this wing would be to put these rooms into use all of the time and four or five of the regular classrooms only part-time, Under the terms of the contract made with the Kucharo Construction Company and other contractors, the Board has an option on the finishing of this wing which I think should be taken advantage of not only for the reason stated above, but because under the option it can be built more cheaply than at the prevailing building costs or those which may obtain even a year or two hence, - 31 - SCHOOL CJ I L D I IT G s u E Y Further Explanations of' the Proposals — Refora detor min organisation of the their diatribution buildirg s, the folio nddi t i cn al s choo 1 ro through the erection osa Lie during the program basis in Nor ing upon the proposals made above junior nd senior high school for pupil—g the roups and tip junior and senio of those in outlying could be found only number of these pu b mong the junior and senior high school uing question naturally arose: Since much on space is being provided on t he -vest side of the Roosevelt High School, will it not be next fee; years to accommodate on a one-session th, “bet and Roosevelt High Schools all of r high school students until the exception school districts?

Similar interpretations should be made of the other figures for the other schools and for the years 1927 and 1930 as well. It will be observed that grouped in this way there would be a surplus enrollment in 1925 of 1190 pupils, in 19 2 7 of 1645, and in 1930 of 2111 pupils. Re-Grouping the Schools Necessary — An examination of Tables 23 and 29 will MX 1 that the is not sufficient space in the three high schools to accommodate ami of the junior-senior high school pupils, hence it was necessary to regroup the schools so that they might be accomr nr '^ + - p ^ still not require the junior high scnool pupils to than about a mile to in Table No. 30 and is so five schools the number both, who will probably 1927 and 1930. t r av e 1 fur t h e r reach the school.

Although this condition obtains and altnougn the old brick building is not entirely modern, it has been kept in good repair and I believe can be of service for two or three years at least. These three buildings will accommodate the probable enrollment in 1925 , at which time a decision snould be reached with reference to the advisability pi abandoning the old building and adding to the new one thus navmg a complete, modern building which will be more economical tocperate and maintain. * Maple Grove School — ihe uable indicates that there will be some available soace in on is scnool in 1925 but in my opinion the conditions here" are bucn as to justify a four-room addition. The toilet facilities' are extremely unsatisfactory for a school of this size, consist- ing o! two small outside buildings. The school itself is awkward- ly planned and ha.s some rather dark and small classrooms. If ? iour-room addition is made to the north of this buildinw thus conserving the playground to the west, it would be necessary to aa ll-ay tnrougn the old part extending north and south. Tms would take away from two rather small classrooms some of the SCHOOL UILDING SURVEY cA r< 'OO- space now used leaving a small room on either side of the corridor, one of which could be converted into a boys * 1 toilet and the other into a girls' toilet, both of them being on the first floor« The classrooms on the second floor would be affected in a similar manner and could be used for some purpose until the en¬ rollment of the school justifies the installation of toilet facilities on this floor as well as on the first floor. This would mean that there would really be very little additional classroom space provided even though a four-room addition is built, but the arrangement would provide some necessities which are at the present time much needed. Howe School — This is one of the rapidly growing communities on the south side and the school is now using a two-room temporary building * For this reason and because, as I have said before, it isnnot easy nor even economical usually to construct only two or three rooms, X am recommending a four-room addition, Ely School — This is a small outlying frame building but will need no additional speice. Washington School — This building will require just about two rooms of additional space in 1925 and because of the recommendation for the Howe School and the one just below for the McKinley School, X believe it advisable to try to work out a plan at this school which will make possible only a two-room addition. Careful study should be gven to this particular problem to ascertain whether or not the two rooms can be properly located. This is one of the schools which is very urgently in need of some additional playground space. McKinley School The table indicates that this school will have an excess en¬ rollment of 5 ^ pupils in 1925, and since .-.it is now using one of the two-room temporary buildings, I have recommended a four-room addition. The Junior and Senior High School Situation I have predicted that by 1925 the number of seventh, eighth and ninth grade pupils indicated opposite the schools below will require accommodation; SCHOOL -29- 3 U I L D I I G SURVEY Group 6 — Park Avenue MapIs Grove Howe Ely Washington McKinley ) )—7th, oth and 9 th grade pupils } in 1925 -740 (See Table No. 7 ) The Senior High School Students — There will he in September 1925 , according to tne predictions (See Table No. 15 ) 297 pupils in grades 10, 11 and 12, living on the south side and desiring accommodation in the Lincoln High School* Total Junior and Senior to Be - Accommodated in High School Students ^5 — Junior High School —-- Senior High School - Total 740 221 1037 The capacity of the Lincoln High School as it stands (See Table No, 17 ) is 1326, which should be sufficient to accommodate aid junior and senior high school pupils until about 1928 or 1929 unless there is an unprecedented increase in attendance* The prediction, however, recognises the probability of an un¬ usually rapid increase in high school enrollment in this section of the city during the next few years. Cost of Completing Lincoln High School — There was voted for this school in 1918 and in 1920 a total of $750,000. Ponds already sold plus the premiums equal £ 510 , 947 * 60 . Through the sale of buildings on the site this fund has been augmented by $5 >5^3*50* The total of funds available to date, therefore, is £ 516 ,4-71 .18 leaving $ 260,000 in bonds to be sold. Estimating that there will be secured a $5,000,00 premium on these bonds, the grand total of the sum available for this building is $721,4*71 *12* Up to date contracts let and other obligations incurred equal a total of approximately $827,000 without any provision bein f ; } me.de for equipment and for the ground development. I am estimating that a sum of $20,000 will be needed for these two purposes which I have added to the $827,000 producing a total of $907*000. The difference then between the funds available, roughly $ 761 , 000 , and the funds needed is $ 126,000 which on the basis of this estimate, it will be necessary to secure through the sale of bonds authorized by vote of the people next March.

University Avenue SCHOOL BUILDING S U R V E Y ULTIMATE SIZE OF SCHOOLS In selecting sites and preparing plans for school buildings so that they may be enlarged with the greatest economy and at the same time, even before additions are made, provide the maximum of educational efficiency, it is essential to know what is likely to be the ultimate size of the school, A study was conducted to secure some facts bearing upon this problem the results of which are illustrated in Chart No, 7• The census figures prepared in July 1922 were obtained and i fid for the two districts shown in the chant, one on the ea studied for the two district side and one on the west side of one being a quadrant of a circle one the Des Koines River on and east each _ _ o ^_ _ „ _whose radius is 7/oths of a mile and located in districts which are largely residental. It will be observed that in the quadrant on the east side, which has as --j —-U-J ar0aS of - _ . -o a radius the standard adopted for the areas of junior high schools, there lived last June 315 children of junior high school age, the ages of these pupils ranging from thirteen to fifteen — « rt it l A • inclusive number of which the number of purposes, territory side of th secured similar In a complete circle there would be four times thi children or 1272, We ascertained also the extent to territory had been completely populated, that is, the lots or the amount of land still available for building and it was found that in this area only 71 $ °1 was occupied, - The quadrant of the circle on the west e river provides practically the same situation. \7p ngures for elementary school children* Based upon these figures I have assumed that when these territories or others of equal size in the city are quite thorough¬ ly populated even without a large apartment house development, and when the actual district lines for a school centering in such a circle are drawn along the streets which will add some territory at the four corners, there will be at least 1S00 pupils of junior high school age and approximately 1200 of elementary school age attending school from such a district. These predictions are surely sufficiently accurate to show that no junior high school should be planned even though only part of it is built at the present time which cannot easily be ex¬ tended to a school with a capacity of at least 1000 pupils and even more, and that elementary schools should be so planned that they may be enlarged and ultimately house at least 1200 children. It would be easy with a problem of this kind to erect an elementary school, for example, with a capacity of 1200 and have the maximum of harmony in the arrangement of all the rooms, their character, size and equipment, so that the most efficient education al program can be carried out. But to have the same kind of educational efficiency requiring special rooms such as auditoriums, lunch rooms,-gymnasiumns, etc, in use constantly, the problem be¬ comes increasingly difficult just in proportion as the school 1 s arises in enrollment is smaller than 1200, The same problem connection with junior or senior high schools, r ’e have, however, sketched some plans which the Board has approved and which I think will accomplish this purpose, These plans for elementary schools are of two types, — the one is represented by the Elmwood a.nd r allae school additions and the other by the Adair,s and Monroe buildings. - 91 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY COST OF ALTERNATIVE BUILDING PROGRAMS Table No. 33 The Complete Proposed Building Program EAST SIDE Elementary Schools Item No. School fluids to Pay for No. of Rms To be " Start¬ ed and Com¬ pleted Total Cost Amt. now Available (Bonds author! sea or sold) To be: Totals Vcted: . * • I Bdto'we Add. & Equip« ■~tr* Tall— 1923 Jan. 1924 55»oo0 ■.■»*<> $5, 000: m • • % • 5 Phillips -n - b - n - ' 75,000 . *=. •»*» mm 75,0CO: L brooks ' ■ * ii 6 -[f- - - 75,000 — 75,000:“ 4 New Uhittier New.Bldg Equip.

Alterative Building Programs The alternative programs presented "below are proposed for one purpose only, namely, to suggest plans whereby certain ex¬ penditures may be postponed. The fact that the alternatives provide merely for a postponement of expenditures should be emphasised. They will not suggest a means of entirely avoiding the expenditures which must sometime be made. I believe the comprehensive school building plan illustrated in the charts and discussed in detail in this report represents a sound, educational and financial policy and should be systematically and consistently executed regardless of dates of beginning or completing it. Believing this there can be only the one reason, as suggested above, for proposing alternatives, The whole proposition, however, is like the old saying, n One cannot have the cake and eat it too’*. We cannot adopt any of the following alternatives and at the same time have the educational advantages which would accrue from the adoption of the Proposed -K - V!

Another point to be mentioned is the fact that the financial considerations involved in the following alternatives will much more nearly approach a mere postponement of immediate expenditures than an ultimate saving. As a general rule in the cost of ultimate large and enduring institutions, whether public or private, seems to me it is the ultimate result that should determine policy and practice. An immediate saving at increased expenditure, however, is sometimes necessary as an expedient to be used in the presence of peculiar, temporary con¬ ditions. It is at this point that your judgment as the elected representatives of the people is of indispensable value and you may regard it as advisable to resort to such an expedient at the present time. For this reason I have arranged for your consideration these various alternatives grouping them in the descending order in which they provide educational advantages and entail immediate costs. The Proposed Program provides the best educational advantages to the largest number of pupils, is the longest step forward toward the completion of the basic plan for the city in general, and requires the largest immediate ex¬ penditure. Alternate No. 1 reduces the educational advantages, diminishes progress toward the ultimate plan, and decreast cost, etc. Any one of them or certain combinations which mx 6 i be made would be a step in the direction of the ultimate plan but the more the departure from the Proposed Program the less the immediate cost, the fewer the educational advantages to the pupils, and the more the administrators, supervisors, principals and teachers will be required to spend time and energy in making as efficient as possible conditions which, because of congestion, relatively inadequate and improper facilities and t h ° l> X I W the necessity oi resorting tc makeshifts, will be quite unsatisfactory. The adoption of the the following results: Proposed Building program will bring 1. It will remove practically all children from poorly ventilated and lighted basement rooms, over-crowded classes, temporary buildings, and hallways, alcoves, etc. which are entirely unsatisfactory for instruction¬ al purposes. 2. It will provide all of the 3 unior hinh schoo1 space that will be needed until 1930, wit dition to the and driversitv about 1927. h th of a small addition to the school at East exception Fourteenth It will also provide all of the senior higl space needed until at least 1930, if in al provisions for physical education are school addit io: made at East, West and North High Schools and for industrial education at the East and "Vest High Schools. - 95 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY 4. It will give all high school pupils each day a full day of instruction rjid guidance instead of a half day, 5 . It will make available in 1^25 to approximately 635^ junior high school pupils, 4233 in grades 7 and 8 , and 2117 in Grade 9> ns well as to 4374 senior high school pupils, (the actual attendance will reach these numbers; modern, well equipped, sanitary buildings with the special features such as libraries, auditoriums, lunch rooms, gymnasiums and pools, which are of such great importance as influences in the lives of the pupils during these precarious years, 6* It will render mare nearly equal than ever the educational opportunities throughout the city, 7* It will be a good beginning on a definite and per¬ manent building program looking toward a well balanced and democratic development of the entire school system backed by a policy of economy in operating expenses. 8 * It will do away with nearly all makeshifts -which have been resorted to in the past, (largely during the war days, to meet emergencies) thus starting the operation of a policy of erecting only permanent, modern and sanitary buildings and also eliminating a source of excessive maintenance costs.

Rhoades, the following figures which show the taxable value of the property of Des Moines covering a period of twenty years: Table No. 34 TAXABLE VALUE OF DSS MOINES PROPERTY Year Taxable Value Year Taxable Value 1902 $14,493,960 1912 $22,174,875 1903 15,644,810 1913 27,980,865 1904 16,032,600 1914 28,599,630 1905 16,371,190 1915 29,874,145 1906 16,963,240 1916 29,705,385 1907 18,510,340 1917 33,022,395 1908 19,386,645 1918 33,148,975 1909 20,528,531 1919 37,460,375 1910 21,290,559 1920 39,457,420 1911 22,684,473 1921 43,176,710 Based upon these figures I have sketched a graph which shows the actual increase and the probable tendency in the increase of the taxable value of the property of this city. This is shown in Chart No. 8. It will be observed that during the last five years there has been a very sharp upward curve in the increase but during the previous years there was a more gradual increase. In the construction of the graph I tried to strike a general average for the entire curve in order to find an approximation to the probable, taxable value of the property in 1940 and in each of the intervening years. The direction taken by the line indicates that this value will eoual about $85,000,000 by 1940 or about $53,000,000 by 1930. It should be observed that in the twenty-year period from 1902 to 1921 the taxable value just about tripled. It would seem fairly reasonable to assume that in the twenty-year period from .1921 to 1940 it may at least double. This would place it at $85,000,000. It seems to me that sooner or later the Des Moines School District must face the ouestion of meeting each year all of its expenses whether for current operation or for capital investment except at a time when an unusually large expenditure must be - 106 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY made for buildings or grounds. If a rather large caoital in¬ vestment is made during the next three or four years in getting a good start on a permanent building program, which over a oeriod of years will decrease by large sums the cost of operation and maintenance, as I shall show later, it will be possible to establish a program of annual expenditures covering the current expenses for operation and maintenance, the interest on bonds, the amounts necessary for the retirement of bonds outstanding, and the capital outlay in buildings, grounds, and equipment re¬ quired to serve the increased enrollments. Such a plan I think can be formulated with reasonable definiteness and can thus establish a much closer and more satisfactory correlation between educational needs and economic possibilities than we can secure in any other way. For example, let us assume that by 1940 we shall have a school attendance of 50,000 pupils, that current operating ex¬ penses will reach a per pupil cost of 9110.00 per year instead of approximately $98.00 as at the present time, that bonds'out¬ standing at that time total $9,000,000 upon ’which the average in¬ terest is 4gfo making a total of $405,000 for interest on bonds,- that $300,000 a year is spent for grounds and new construction and $300,000 a year for the retirement of bonds. The grand total of these four items would equal $6,725,000. Based upon a taxable valuation of $85,000,000, there will be reouired a 79 mill tax to carry the total annual expenditure. If it were ce.rried, however, the amount of interest on bonds would constantly be reduced and the rate at which they would be retired would exceed the rate at which it would be necessary to issue new bonds at times when some large expenditure for capital outlay would reouire more than the fixed sum of $300,000, the amount which would annually be appropriated for this purpose if needed, but any amount beyond it ’would be secured through the issuance of bonds. I have skipped over the years and have taken 1940 merely to suggest the possibilities of formulating a more definite policy than we now have and for the further purpose of pointing out that even with the reasonably liberal prediction concerning the in¬ crease in school enrollment and. with a fairly conservative estimat of the increase in wealth, a progressive program of education can be carried on without a staggering burden of cost. I recognize that in the haste with which I have drawn to¬ gether these facts merely as suggestions there may be many in¬ accuracies and some more or less crude judgments but at any rate they will serve the nurpose I have had in mind. ” r hat is needed now is to do what has been done with the statement of the build¬ ing program in general and that is to take this far look and then bring it down to the situation today as it can be fairly accurate¬ ly predicted for the years immediately ahead and planned "to make ends meet". . . 107 SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY The rate at which bonds have been issued in the oast and the dates of maturity will naturally cause some fluctuations which must be.anticipated and met only by maintaining a fairly steady program of education and in certain years by refunding' certain bonds. The need of this is indicated in the figures shown immediately below, which indicate the amounts required each year up to 1938 to retire bonds which mature during these successive years.

U R V E Y Explanation of Table No* 36 At several points during the discussion of the building program I mentioned the advantages both in education and economy of operating large rather than small schools. This table presents the significant aspects of this problem and proves the assertions I have made by showing what it cost us last year in fifty-one of our elementary schools for what we classify as operation in¬ cluding salaries of teachers, principals and janitors, and the cost of fuel, gas, light, water, and telephones. I have not out into these figures the cost of certain janitorial supplies nor have I charged any amount for general overhead expense. I have left out these two items merely to save time in collecting facts, but what is given is sufficiently significant to cause careful planning of the whole school building program so that we may possibly have better schools at a lower cost. The table shows that there were seven schools, with an average daily attendance of 100 or less, having a total average daily attendance of 317 and costing §113*40 per pupil. On the other hand, there were nine schools with an attendance of more than 500 in which the annual per pupil cost of operation was §64.73. The figures shown in the last column are in each case the result of a comparison of the costs in the schools of the sizes indicated in the first column with the cost per pupil for the operation of those schools with an attendance exceeding 500 pupils. To sum up these figures, it may be said that if all of the pupils had attended elementary schools with an enrollment of more than 500, it would have cost the city §54,556.79 less for operation last year than it did. Even if we assume that they might all have been in schools with an enrollment in excess of 300 or 400 there would have been a very large saving.

I have done this to work in assembling other facts with reference to the materials in the various Jobs represented but the comparisons are valid nevertheless. In fact, the materials would cost about as much the labor. save use d o It will be observed that I have selected three of the old schools, which in the ultimate building plan ought to be abandoned, and then I have selected- three of the newer buildings two of which are large schools, in order to get some basis for cornua ring old and new buildings and large and small ones. If I had these records for all of the schools of the city, the facts would, be much more significant, but the general tendency indicated here will prove the point I desire to make, which is that we cannot afford long to maintain small buildings especially when they have reached the point where an unusual amount of repair work must be done each year to keep them even in fair condition. Notice, for example. that it cost 11.11 per pup i1 for the labor usedin maintaining the old Franklin School (old and small building) last year and $. 30 per pupil in the Brooks School (new and large building); it cost $1,42 per child in the Given School and $ .91 in the Lucas; $2.19 per child in the McHenry School, and $ .92 in the Hubbell. If we combine the excessive cost per child of operating small schools as shown in Table No. 33 with the increased ex¬ penditures in the small and old buildings required for their maintenance, the total arnoUht of money lost in operating such a policy last vear as compared with what it might have cost would easily total $75,000 or $85,000. SMALL RECITATION ROOMS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS The total capacity of the elementary schools in the city of Des Moines has been increased during the past years to some extent by sub-dividing standard classrooms or putting partitions across the ends of hallways, thus creating very small recitations rooms in which classes entirely too large for the space would have to work. Some of the newer buildings erected also carried out a plan of providing what was known as an assembly room of rather large dimensions and in addition to this a number rooms of sma11 recitation I have previously referred to the fact that when the proposed building program suggests a four-room addition to some of these buildings, the addition might not in every case actually provide an additional amount of space equal to four standard classrooms because if the old part of the building is altered, as it ought to be when the addition is made, and some of the partitions taken out or these small recitation rooms otherwise enlargecd, the actual increase in the number of rooms in the building as completed will not eoual the number provided in the addition. -no- SCHOOL BUILDING 3 U * V 5 Y I am presenting in Charts 9 and 10 two samples of buildings to illustrate these points. Chart Ho- 9 shows the second floor of Hubbell School, which is a comparatively new building, and Chart :'c. 10 is the second floor of the Sabin School most of which is rather old. Observe, for example, the three small recitation rooms in the Hubbell School, two of them 15 < x24* and the other 15 , x23 t and also the assembly room 24*x45‘. About the only way in which such a. Plan can be operated is to have the large assembly room seated to its maximum capacity and have the pUpils assemble there regularly after which they pass out to the recitation rooms for instructional work, one class at least always remaining in the assembly room. The actual effect of this is to have a great deal of space constantly wasted in the assembly room while the classes at work in the recitation rooms ate working under the great dis¬ advantage of restricted floor space together with a small amount of air for such a large group and usually bad ventilation. The standard number of cubic feet of air space for each child established by school hygienists is 20CL If 35 pupils occupy one of the small recitation rooms in the Hiibbell School, the room be¬ ing 15 , x24'xl2’, each child has only 123 cubic feet of air. If a class of 35 pupils occupies the small classroom on the north side of Sabin School, which is 19 , 6 ,, xl4 r xl2 1 , each child has only 93 cubic feet of air. Difficulties are always increased, of course, b~ the demand for fresh air which causes the opening of the windows. In cold weather the children near the windows are too cold while the others need fresh air. The proper physical conditions could be provided in rooms would be to subdivide the classes so that about 15 or 20 pupils wowld occupy such a room. This, of course, would be quite ideal for teaching purposes but it would mean such an increase in the number of teachers and a corresponding increase in the budget for teachers 1 salaries that it is entirely out of the Question. only such way in which small not more than As additions are made an 6 new buildings planned these con¬ ditions which obtain in nearly all of the school buildings, in Des Moines should be kept in mind and when we know that it frequently occurs that at least 40 children will have to occupy a room, it should be so planned as to provide the proper hygienic conditions A room 22 feet wide, 30 feet long with a 12 foot ceiling would provide just about 200 cubic feet of air for each of 40 children. not made an actual count of the number of these small roonm the elementary schools, but there are at least fift..

Merely to wait until there is actual congestion very obviously present in a school or in several localities in the city and then proceed to meet the emergency when it has been located in this manner results in overcrowded rooms, makeshifts in school organization, excessive expenditures and inefficient teaching and care of children. I am presenting, therefore, as a plan for conducting periodic surveys the following schedule: Table No. 39 SCHEDULE FOR PERIODIC SURVEYS* Survey Report Submitted to Board Construction to Start Construction to be Comuleted Accommodate Pupils until December 1922 July 1923 January 1924 .

THE CARE OF EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN At various points through the report I referred to the necessity of providing a better plan for the care of exceptional children. We have already made a good start on this problem by establishing in certain schools throughout the city what we have called ungraded rooms, and in the old Howe School on the south side for a group of about 70 mental defectives, but we are at the place whore a definite urogram for the care of these children must be formulated and worked to. I shall not take the time in this report to go into detail with reference to this problem because Miss Mary G. Diemer, who has charge of this department in cooperation with other departmental heads is now working on a detailed report which I shall hope to submit later. I, therefore, merely wish to sketch the general plan here. It would involve 1. The establishment in elementary schools of an en¬ rollment of auproximately 250 or more what would, be called restoration or adjustment classes consisting of children in the kindergarten and orimary grades who do not seem to be able to succeed in the grouo of normal size where average requirements are made and where average conditions prevail.

In junior hiEh schools, which will be located at strategic point3 and not too far away from the homes of the children, there should be established centers for these children trans¬ ferred from restoration classes if they are what one would classify as being high grade mental defectives or dull-normal children or oerhaps psychopathic cases. These children would be housed in a separate wing of the junior high school and could be given trained teachers who understand, the problem. In another room or two of the junior high school delinquent boys and girls under training teachers could be cared for, the advantage being that they would have opportunity to engage in some of the activities of the junior high school, such as the orchestra, athletics, etc. at the discretion of the teacher, but at the same time could be kept under the careful control which such a svsten would make possible. Cn the roof of the junior high school there can be orovided facilities for the operation of an Open Air School which would be able to take advantage of the fact that in a junior high school there would be operated a cafeteria, thus making convenient the serving of hot soup a.nd other foods at the proper hours during the day. 3. There should be a few centers, that is, separate buildings in which the children of the very low grades of intelligence who cannot be admitted to state institutions can be cared for. They re¬ quire very special treatment and can be given it more efficiently if segregated into rather homogenous groups. 4. A center for the deaf or semi-deaf children. We now have 23 such children in the Clarkson Elementary School but the arrangement is not entirely satisfactory. I have thought that if a junior high school is erected in North Des Moines providing Open Air facilities, the oresent Open Air School would be a very satisfactory f / • t o i. o •. - — *.r 4 »• v» 4 <\ ir r * T * T » h f) ^ P. • vw • * V> '* •• ■■ : v -’ ■ • \j li^crtt ■fi'S td r:B - ’ " 0 : r '- • ' -4* — i •** ' i' ' 'ic ’ • ' 53 r' - } '< •• T6 . ; , .

Marly of these cases are really state Problems. This is recognised by the state now, so far as deaf children are concerned, by granting subsidies to school districts that provide opportunities for special training of deaf children. The subsidies do not entirely pay the costs but are so dis¬ tributed. as to stimulate interest in organizing such classes and make them financially possible. Similar legislation should be secured to assist in the care of the other atypical groups. CENTRAL STADIUM With the completion of the two new senior high schools, which will give us five high schools in all, and in view of the con¬ templated plan for the development of junior high schools, there will be an increased demand for a place in which great athletic games and sports can be played, and engaged in by large numbers of boys and girls. Up to the Present time it has been possible for the Des Moines high schools to work out their schedules in con¬ junction with Drake University so that its stadium might be used, but during the last two or three years some difficulties have been encountered which indicate that with the rapid increase in junior and senior high school attendance and the constantly ex¬ panding interest in wholesome outdoor games the one stadium will no longer be sufficient. When we have five high schools in operation if each high school plays every other high school one game of football, it will require ten football games to play off this schedule alone. For these reasons and others, I believe the time ha* come when the Board of Education should select somewhere quite centrally located a site which can be developed into a great public school stadium with an initial seating capacity of approximately 15,000 but so arranged as to make possible the ex¬ tension of this seating capacity up to a maximum of 30,000 or 35,000. If this site can be secured at a location which will be convenient for the West High School, a part of the grounds can be used regularly as the athletic field for this high school while the other part would bo reserved as a stadium for the regular interscholastic athletic events. Each high school and each junior high school, of course, in keeping with the policy of the Board, should have available a practice field but not a stadium. 119 - s C K 0 0 L B U I L DING S U R V E Y HALF DAY V5P.su S FULL DAY SESSIONS IN HIGH SCHOOLS It will be remembered that under the pressure of providing housing for the high school oupils and as an expedient the so- called half-day session program was inaugurated in our high school in September 1921. It was practically the only solution to the situation at that time inasmuch as the Lincoln and Roosevelt High Schools had not been completed. Through the expenditure of a great deal of effort and under unusual stress on the part of the administrative organizations and the teachers in the high schools, it has been possible to do fairly satsifactory work within the natural limitations of the system employed, but to continue to operate under such pressure which results from the inevitable complications of the system would, in my opinion, be very unwise indeed. It has been tacitly understood that with the opening of the new high schools it would be possible again to return to the full-day session, but since many questions have been asked con¬ cerning the advisability of continuing the half-day session " programs in order that we might postpone or avoid the construction of additional junior high school space, I am presenting this brief report of the oroblem as viewed by the high school principals, teachers, students and myself. The report of the high school principals is indeed very significant. I shall, therefore, make only a few statements con¬ cerning the situation as I view it. It should be understood that the former full-day session program provided seven 45-minute periods in the school day during four of which the pupils engaged in regular classroom recitation work, while the other three periods were used for preparation. Under the present system the school day is divided into ten periods of 45 minutes each, half of the students attending school during five of these periods and the other half during the other five periods, which means that practically all of their pre¬ paration must be made during hours which are beyond the control of the school. 9 We have planned upon the opening of the two new high schools to operate in the five high schools what is known as "The Supervised Study Program" consisting of five periods of approxi¬ mately 75 minutes each during which time the pupils would be ex¬ pected to do practically all of the work connected with the subject or activity offered.. This has the very great advantage of providing absolute regularity in study habits as well as conditions, such as accessibility of libraries, laboratory equip¬ ment and teacher guidance, which are of great importance in build¬ ing up habits of study and good citizenship. I think people in general have never felt that the results secured even from full-day sessions in our schools have been too good. In fact, comments have very frequently hr.^n mMe. not only - 120 - SCHOOL 3 U I L D IT IH Ur SURVEY Here but elsewhere throughout the country/ that oupils come out of high school in many instances rather poorly prepared. If it has been true, therefore, that the achievements of students under a plan which offered a full day of work were not satisfactory, now can it be expected that their achievements would be what is desired if they are given only half the opportunity formerly provided? I am submitting below the report of a committee consisting of the three high school principals of which the chairman was Hr. A. W. Merrill. This report represents a great deal of work on their part in preparing the questionnaires, in securing, tabulating and interpreting the answers, and while the study has possessed many other values, the committee did not report upon these be¬ cause of the necessity of limiting the discussion to points which bear directly upon the problem under consideration. Report of Comm i tte; The three high school principals, as a committee appointed by you to attempt to find some method of measuring the effect upon the high schools of the half-day session as compared with the former full-day session plan, formulated three tests which they have attempted to apply to this question and which may be described as follows: 1 . A comparison of marks given to pupils during the first semester in which the new plan was in use as compared with the corresponding semester of the previous year* 2 . A questionnaire to teachers asking their opinions as to the effect upon the schools in various ways of the adoption of the new plan. 3. A questionnaire to pupils covering similar around. The committee desires to call to your attention the fact that none of these tests can be called scientific, inasmuch as they are all based upon opinion rather than upon objective evidence. I. Marks Given to Teachers in 1932 as Compared kfith 1931 A careful analysis was made of the marks given in each school, by departments, for the semester ending in January, 1922, which was the first semester under the present half-day session plan, compared with the marks given during the semester ending in January, 1921, under the former full-day session plan. This comparison shows that there has been a general tendency for makrs given under the half-day session plan to be lower than those given the previous year. This is especially true in English, Mathematics and Science. In Commercial work, on the contrary, the marks are higher under the half-day session than under the former plan. The committee has the feeling that this may be due largely -oru- «e r 5 T : i Si tt t(7U ° VT f: • tl o') on, ■ C/OIfA} 370 ' "S IS tfXJCf ,r rr iS i ... $TS. v o oo .r?-f.:rnt OS I Jr j .

II. Questionnaire to Teachers The committee prepared a questionnaire which was given to all teachers of the three high schools, A tabulation of the answers shows that, with the exception of two questions asked, the teachers are in favor of the former full-day session for high schools by a vote ranging, accord-ing 'to the particular issue raised, from a ratio of two to one to that of five to one. In the case of those two questions, the vote favors the full-day plan by a small majority. In detail this expression of opinion was as follows; 1. Did you cover the subject matter as well under the half¬ day session plan as formerly? Yes, 61; No, 74. 2. Do students gain as much under the present as under the former plan? Yes, 42; No, 113. 3. Do students feel the same responsibility for preparing their work under this plan as junder the former plan? Yes, 51; No, 108. 4. Do the students form better or worse habits of citizenship under the present plan as compared with the former plan? Better, 32; Worse, 109. 5. It the nervous strain on teachers more, or less under the present plan as compared with the former plan? More, 112; Less, 38. 6. Is the nervous strain on pupils more or less under the present plan as compared with the former plan? More, 79; Less, 54. 7. Is the work of the teacher more or less burdensome under the -©resent plan as compared with the former plan? More, 103; Less, 33. 8. Do you consider the general spirit of the school to be better or worse under the present plan as compared with the former plan? Better, 31; Worse, 97. 9. Does the half-day session plan make it easier or harder for the school to develo© correct moral ideals, attitudes and habits in pupils as compared with the full-dav session plan? Easier, 26; Harder, 122. ■ .

The committee desires to call attention to the fact, which was also noted by some teachers of the school upon their questionnaires, that other causes operated to improve the spirit of ’Test High School at the time that the change to the half-day session plan was made. III. Questionnaire to Pupils Tlie Committee also prepared a questionnaire which was sub¬ mitted to all pupils of the three high schools, so far as it was feasible to do so. To this questionnaire there were 4186 responses (approximately 80$ of the present total enrollment). Of this number the ratio in favor of the present half-day session plan is about two to one in all the schools. There appeard to be no appreciable difference in sentiment as between boys and girls, membership in a particular high school, number of years in school, nor as between those who report they like to go to school and those who report they do not. There are, by the way, only 271 pupils in the Des Moines High Schools who are willing to say they do not like to go to school. The pupils were asked not to put their names on the questionnaires. The portion of this Questionnaire to which the committee intended to give the greatest weight was the nature of the reasons which might be given by pupils for preferring the one plan or the other. In respect to this matter the committee reaches the following Conclusions: 1. The reason most commonly given by pupils for preferring the half-day session plan is that they can study better at home than at school. Third in the order of popularity is the statement that the present plan gives more time to study lessons. Of the 2777 pupils who favor the present plan 1450 give the first reason and 1010 the second. In comparison with this expression from the pupils should be placed the fact that marks became lower under the present plan and that it is the opinion of teachers, two to one, that pupils do not feel the same responsibility for the preparation of their lessons under the present plan as under the former plan. In other words, the other evidence at hand appears to question the reliability of judgments of pupils concerning this matter. The committee has the feeling that this vote was influenced very decidedly by the natural desire^of human beings to have as much free time as possible, which de si re¬ appears particularly strong at the high school are. - 123 ' SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY 2. 1204 pupils who prefer the present plan offer the reason •that it gives a better chance to work and earn money, while 801 present the reason that it gives a chance to help more at home. These reasons rank second and fifth in popularity. Your committee is of the opinion that successful high school work cannot be expected from pupils who divide their energies to any great extent between their studies and an outside job and that the very possibility of taking up an outside job during free time from school, while at first sight it may appear an advantage in the present system, is in fact a decided dis¬ advantage. 3. Among the questions asked were some relating to school spirit, habit formation, and other aspects of education more or less moral. It is noticeable that students do not appear to give much weight to such matters as these. How¬ ever, among the pupils who favor the former full-day session, the reason that it brings under-class pupils under the influence of upper-class students ranks fifth in popularity, that the system is fairer to everyone comes seventh, that it helps to create a better school spirit*is eighth, and that it helps to prevent the formation of bad habits is twelfth. On the other hand, by the students who prefer the present plan, such reasons as these are rarely given, the most popular of them ranking nineteenth among the twenty-five offered. In other words, it is our feel¬ ing that the desire for the present half-day session plan is more largely influenced by selfish motives and that . those pupils who are thinking of school spirit and habit formation are much more likely to favor the former Plan. It is interesting to note that in West High School a larger proportion of pupils, in favoring the full-day session plan, gave the reason that it helps to create a better school spirit than was true in the other schools. In that school alone that reason ranks sixth instead of eighth. This question was worded differently from the one asked the teachers and perhaps gives in a better way the real senitment of Uest High School, that is, that the full- day session is a real help toward the creation of better school spirit as compared with the half-day session even though it was possible, by laying a great deal of stress^ upon the matter, fox the teachers to improve school spirit at the time the change was made. 4. The pupils’ report upon the amount of time they spend in- studying per day ranges all the way from no minutes to ove five hours. This indicates that under the present plan of the school day teachers must attempt to hold together at an even rate of progress in the same class pupils who are studying not at all, pupils who are studying five or six hours per day, and pupils whose time of study ranges all the way between these two extremes. This is a - 124 - SCHOOL BUILDING SURVEY greater handicap to efficient instruction than is the difference in ability of pupils. If the present half-day session tends to increase this variation in time devoted to study it is a serious fault indeed. There is, however, probably no solution for this difficulty other than to place the study activities of the pupils under as close supervision from teachers as is now done with the recitation work. IV. The Findings of the Committee It is the opinion of the committee based upon experience, observation and general study of secondary school problems, that the school day should be long enough to insure time for the recitation and also for the major portion of the student's study time under the direction of the class-room teacher for each subject. In this statement we approve neither the present half¬ day session nor the former full-da 3 ^ session, but are recommending a supervised study program. A study of the present practice of American High Schools indicates rather decidedly that the half¬ day session has not been satisfactory in the schools where it has been tried, as most of them are at present operating with a long¬ er session. Many of the more progressive schools have during the last few years adopted the supervised study program. As regards the present investigation, in our opinion it shows very definitely that the change from the former full-day session plan to the present plan was disadvantageous from the point of view of scholar ship and disastrous with respect to the work of our schools in training for citizenship and in developing correct habits, attitudes, and ideals. - N. - - -^ H . .——.
