Flatonia Elementary
School Building - I o , 10
The present1 o-rndn dwbxAl' '? iMXliiKriS"
building wks built in 1912. It
is a two story brick structure
of three classrooms on each
floor with a pupil- capacity of
180 pupils. From 1912 to
1932 the second floor Was used
for the high school grades and
th# lower floor was used for
the primary and intermediate
grades. In 1932 the .elemen-
tary grades began-Rising the
entire building since the high
school pupils were moved into
the present high school build-
ing. At present there are the
second, third, fifth, sixth
seventh, and eighth grades oc-
cupying the six classrooms'
with a total enrollment of 196.
This grade building was
built 40 years ago at a cost of
approximately $12,500. The
foundation of th:. building is-
firm andvthe' l^frk walls are
still sound and plumb. How-
ever in a building which is
nearing a -half century of use
the wood work is wearing out.
Doors, windows,’ floors, and
wooden frames will need re-,
placing within a short time.
The floor area of each room is
about 600 square feet.
Upon the walls of this
building can bejseen the marks
and scars of many of the citi-
zens of Flatonia and it is in-
teresting to observe the initials
carved into the brick. This
building has seen many pupils
and teachers come and'leave
through years. Next week

The present* grade schoo’ 'Tliis’ planting dFWHne wws
established to eliminate boll®
left unpicked in the fielda— t
after stalk destruction and to
prevent the build up of co^pn
insects in late cotton. The
pink bollworm carries over
during the winter in bolls left
in the fields and by eliminat-
ing late planted cotton the
number of bolls left in the
fields will be reduced, thus re- w
dating the number of over-
wintering larvae.
It should also be pointed out
that the law is still in effect
that requires seed heating at
the gins as a continuous proc-
ess of ginning and. that it is
unlawful for any planter to
plant cottonseed from a quar-
antined jirea that has not been
sterilized.
These new controls were ex-
tended and set Jan. 23 by the
