THE CROWDED CONDITION or THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL.

An Important Problem Which is Engaging
Public Attontion--Art Cultivation-A
Realistic observation-disclosures News.
There is considerable discussion now
INDUCED in regarding what shall be
done to relieve the undue pressure in
the school accommodations of the Cen
trail district The North Main street
building is crowded from top to bottom
the Simpson and the Cottage schools
are as full as can be handled and still
the number of scholars each year is
increasing and some provision must be
made for their accommodation. There
are many opinions on what should be
done. Some favor erecting an ad-
diton to the high school building While
a larger portion are opposed to SUCH
action for several good reasons; one
is that it would injure the appearance
of the present structure and spoil its ar
tistic proportions and then again the
grounds are not large enough to war
rant any increase in that direction.
The property on South Main street is
not large enough for a suitable building
such as would meet the requirements of
the district, besides the location is not
what is desired, and as the growth of
the borough is without doubt going to
be further south and west it seems to
be the general opinion that When a
h1,sI fAr sol e
erected it should be in the direction of
where the growth of the town is sure
to go. The property south of Ward
street owned by Henry B. Hall, which
covers a large tract of land, is being
opened up to the public and is without
doubt one of the finest and most slightly
locations in the borough and on this
elevated and healthy tract can be chose
elevated and healthy tract can be
chosen a spot that would meet with all
the requirements of the most fastid-
ious.
Mr. Hall, while not situated finan-
cially so as to be able to present the
district with a desirable site as Moses
Y. Beach did nearly thirty years ago
where the high school building now
stands, is willing and anxious to do
all in his power, and all that any reas-
enable person could expect under the
circumstances, to make some deal with
the taxpayers of the district toward
having a suitable school building To-
Gated on his property, and will confer
with the committee appointed at Mon
DAY evenings meeting and meet them
more than half way, if it is the inten-
ton to erect building that will be a
credit to the town. Regarding the pro-
posed building a suggestion is made
that if at the present time it is not
deemed advisable to go too extensively
into size and architecture, the plans of
q suitable building that will answer
the requirements for years to come be
got out and have them so arranged that
a portion of the building be erected
enough to answer for a few years and
when necessity requires the other parts
can be added. The plans can be drawn
in a manner that would present a
building arcltitecturaly and otherwise
that would be ornamental even if not
all completed at present and answer
the present requirements. The Capitol
at Washington was built under the
same circumstances, as was the State
NOAAA
pleted years after.
Among other adornments in r. w
Lynch's cafe now hangs on the wall
a life size crayon portrait of George
Washington Broadwell which is in it
self a work Of art and a true represen-
tation of the distinguished parsonage ii
represents. The picture is surrounded
by an elegant gilt frame and it is the
JOY and pride of the only and origina
wash" Some person who evidently
intended we'll has placed a placard
which no doubt was intended to read
e'The champion collar and elbow wrest-
Ter Of Wallingford," but by some erro,
has misconstrued one, portion of the
wording.
