Education Board Seeks Bond for Washington Ave School Annex

The Board of Education moved to petition the Board of Aldermen to authorize bonds to acquire and convert a large Washington avenue property for a high school. The plan uses the Wheeler estate site formerly a Star Shirt factory, now held by Columbia Graphophone for records, with division into 42 classrooms and workshops for about 4,200 pupils. The cost would be half of building a new school, with quick remodeling possible, and the location deemed desirable. District officials debated candidate buildings and staffing, while a separate bid for site use faced criticism. Superintendent Slawon and others attended events and study trips, including a Chicago conference and detours to Detroit, to review modern school systems.
