McDowell Asserts (Continued from Page 3.) Washington school to make care for this increase. Mr. McDowell says, rooms and there are many privileged children. Explains Underprivileged Children. When asked say just who were the underprivileged children Mr.

McDowell said there were approximately 360 between the ages of five and six who should have kindergarten: there were classes of girls in each school who should have sewing and boys who should have manual training: there is much to be desired in music and in this way the superintendent feels that boys and girls of Bloomington are underprivileged because these classes are denied them. Mr. McDowell says an Increase in tax rate for the educational fund is necessary to carry on the program with the increased enrollment: funds are needed additional ers for these departments which have had to be eliminated due to lack of money. The superintendent also thinks old school buildings should be replaced and more rooms added where the need is evident. Under present conditions boys who are given instruction in manual training must take the time from other classwork to go from their school buildings to the Jefferson school, H.

G. Bent or Edwards buildings where manual training rooms are equipped. Regardless of weather, these trips must be made because only one teacher is employed in this department and other schools have no manual training rooms or equipment. A small group of children may be given training in private kindergartens but the majority are underprivileged, according to Mr. MeDowell, who says that in many respects we may be proud of our school system, but believes that the system should advance to meet the needs of the ever increasing enrollment.
