NEED OF A NEWHIGH SCHOOL
CONDITION AT HILLHOUSE MAKES
 IT QUITE APPARENT.

Hillhouse Pupils to be Accommodated at
 Boardman-Appointme of Two Ad-
 ditional Instructors Made Necessary
 Circular Letter to Parents of Children
 Affected by the Transfer.
 Superintendent Kendall will issue this morning to the parents of those pupils who, owing to lack of room can not be accommodated at Hillhouse high school, circular letter explaining the matter. MT. Kendall stated last even ing that the pupils who cannot be &C., commodated at Hillhouse about sev- enty-f1ve in number, will be taken care of at Boardman Manual Training school, where rooms which have pre- V1ously been used as store rooms are being fitted up to receive them The seventy-five pupils are those living in Winchester, Webster and Dwight dis tricts, these districts being the nearest in the city to Boardman, and the at tendance of High school pupils from these districts at Boardman being con- sequently more convenient than for pupils in more remote portions of the city.
 The high school pupils who will be obliged to attend at Boardman will re- ceive instructions there in the same studies in which the remainder of their class are receiving instruction at Hill- house, and will not be obliged to take any manual training work. This ar- engagement necessitates the appoint ment of two additional teachers at Boardman to instruct in algebra, Latin. English and history. One of these teachers has already been appointed, and is MT. Frederick Tedzie, a graduate student in Latin at Yale. The other appointment will be announced to-day. In addition to the work of these two extra teachers, the regular Boardman teachers will also be utilized to assist In instructing the transferred students.
 In his letter to parents of the children affected by the transfer MT. Kendall states that the children will be under the instruction of competent corps of teachers and under the supervision of Principal Scudder of Hillhouse. They will attend at Boardman one year and at the end of the present year will be
 
 them being made by the graduating class.
 Then, if new high school is not built before the opening of the next school year, as it probably will not be, the pupils from Winchester, Webster and Dwight districts, who next year pass entrance examinations to Hillhouse High school, will be obliged to attend Boardman.
 A prominent member of the board of education, who is on the buildinf com mittee, and also on the special instruc- tion committee, stated last evening that although the need of a new High school was great, he did not think that the board of education would ask this year for the issuance of bonds to provide money to build a new school.
 The matter was informally discussed at the board of education rooms yes- terday afternoon by Superintendent Kendall and members of the building MT. Kendall said that he < did not think it wise at this time in view of the financial difficulties of the city, to make request for new high school If there is to be a. demand for new school it will probably come from of the Ninth and Tenth wards. whose children are inconvenienced by the lack of room. While the members of the board of education do not feel that they can ask for money for high school this year, the fact remains that if the increase In the number of high school scholars is so great as it has been this year, new school building will be an absolute necessity.
 As matters have been arranged now. however, the pupils this year can be amply taken care of with slight incon- venience, although the argument is advanced by some that the money re- quired to pay two extra teachers at Boardman would go a long ways to- wards paying the interest on money to build a new school as soon as possible.
 The use of the extra rooms at Board- man to accommodate High school pu- pills will cause some change in night school plans. The extra rooms were used last year to accommodate draw ing class in the night school and now that desks are to be placed in the room for day pupils the rooms will be unsuit- able for the drawing class for which room must be found elsewhere.
 The crowded condition of Winches- ter school has been relieved by the building of the Roger Sherman school, and pupils have been transferred to this new building from Winchester school so that the accommodations are now amply sufficient
