Athens City Schools Twenty-Fifth Annual Report Highlights Growth
The Athens board met at the city hall to review the twenty-fifth annual report of the superintendent. The document notes enrollment growth from 1,085 pupils in 1886 to 2,558 this year, with 10 schools and 60 teachers, plus two night schools and two kindergartens. Overcrowding and room shortages threaten new seventh grade expansion at Meigs Street and forced attendance shifts, while measles and mumps disrupted schooling. Plans for new four-room and additional spaces are urged.
