the principles of freedom and liberty that every American bolds dear. It is also a matter of record that . a well educated city is a more progressive city and also a morf prosperous city. Cities with advanced school systems have higher average incomes and higher retail : sales in comparißOh with other cities. In line with these thoughts,

Decatur can certainly be proud of the steps taken with the opening of the Northwest Elementary school. This brand new building incorporates the finest in educational plants in this part of the country and is, as principal Hubert Zerkel, Jr., puts it, “ideal.” While not completely finished, the new school has been in operation for several

weeks and has proved highly successful in all phases. A good teaching staff is the foundation of aqy school and the Northwest school has just that. Nine teachers are employed and there are nine classrooms available, so no doubling up is necessary. The teachers at the new school are: Mrs. Fern Freeland, kindergarten; Mrs. Marnell Shep-

herd. first grade; Miss Mary Helen Moran, first grade; Mrs. Irepe Fjriedly. second grade; Mrs. M. Pauline Helsel, secdnd (trade; Mrs. Evelyn Petter, third grade; Mrs. Leona Feasel. fourth grade; Miss Glennys Koop, fifth grade and librarian; and Carl tfteibs, sixth grade. Zerkel is the principal of the school and also teaches three arithmetic classes. His student “family” is comprised of 306 students The breakdown of classes is; kindergarten, two classes of 30 pupils each; first grade, two classes, one of 32 and one of 29 students; second grade, two groups, one 24 and one 23; third grade, 35; fourth grade. 31; fifth grade 39; and sixth grade, 33. Each classroom' is a self-contain-ed unit. There is a Coat closet in each room, rest rooms for boys and girls, a fountain, a wash sink for removing the results of young artists, and plenty of shelves and cabinets for the storage of teachers’ supplies. The rooms are all big and well-lighted.. The desks are far apart and have adjustable seats to provide comfort for students of any sise. There is nothing crowded about the building. Zerkel's office is housed in the library room right now, as. the wing*of the building containing his permanent office Is not quite completed. He plans on moving in a week or two. Also in the wing ijre a reception office with built-in files, a mechanical room for the mimeograph machine and paper cutter, a health room for dental clinics, polio shots and other treatments. two rooms adjoining the medical room housing cots for any pupil who might fall 'tit, rest rooms, 'a canteen, and a teachers' room for informal meetings of the teachers, talks with parents and any of me many out-of-classroom duties of the teachers that are as much of their jobs as the actual teaching. _ : 1 — — ■—

Also still under construction is the multi purpose room which will be a combination auditorium, gymnasium and stage. This part of the building will probably not be completed until next fall when school resumes. The building was designed by architects ffmn suggestions by school officials, teachers and parents, and when the south side school is completed will- combine to give Decatur one of the finest elementary school systems in the country. The school board, superintendent W. Guy Brown. Principal Zerkel and all those connected with the new school are to be congratulated on this achievement. It gives the city a school system that we can be nroud of today and proud of in thUfuture. a ■MMWMMWMWWBWW WHY PAY MORE THAN 4% FOR LONG TERM FARM LOAN j See Tom Williams Room No. 5 K. of C.
