and others wero overcrowded. After
I considering tho condition from all
standpoints, it was decided to open
up ono of tho basement rooms and
put ono grado thoro. This Is only
a temporary arrangomont and plan
nod to onablo all tho pupils to bo In
school regularly. Tho Junior High
school Is over-crowded so that classes
aro hamporcd and pupils do not
havo tho opportunities of study ana
recitation which thoy should havo.
Various classes of tho sonlor high

moro aro coming. The school plant
must bo enlarged. N.ow buildings
must bo built in suitable locations.
Tho grounds and building committee
ot tho board of education, is doing Us
best to meet tho situation but it
looks liopoless" to try 'ah'd contlnuo to
glvo sorvlco without additional school
facilities. Tho mattor has not been
taken up officially by tho board bf
education but It is said by those
who ar,o well Informed that a build,
ing program must bo started beforo
long If tho condition aro to bo met.
