new LINES DRAWN.
The School Committee Ar
ranges for High School
Pupils.

| The school committee has made en-
tirely new provisions for distributing
| the first class high school pupils fol
| the coming year. The buildings to be
used for this purpose are MillburJ
street, Belmont street, Gates lane, and
of course, the two central high schools
Last year, in addition to these, Ledge
street was used for high school pupils
1t was found possible, however, te
eliminate Ledge street entirely and IN
| doing this it was necessary to draw
new boundaries to fit the new arrange
ment and to distribute the pupils as
conveniently as possible. The Wood
land street district high school pupils
will be quartered, not on Woodland
street, hut in the new Gates lane school
house, which was finished last spring,
but which was never occupied.
The boundaries governing first year
English high school pupils are as fol-
lows:--
Central Highland street to
Ashland, along Ashland to Dix, east on
Dix to Harvard, south on Harvard to
George, east on George to Main, along
Main to Front, down Front to Trun-
bull, along Trumbull and Washington
to Boston and Albany track, along
track to Lagrange and Piedmont to
Chandler, along Chandler to Bellevue,
along Bellevue to Pleasant.
Pupils living on the streets forming
the boundaries are not included within
the boundaries, and are not to attend
the central high school.
OFT Gnhnnl-SOIIth central
boundaries and west of Boston and AL
bany track until it meets the Norwich
and Worcester track, then west of that
track.
Belmont street school-North and
east of the central boundaries, and
north of the boundary line between the
third and fourth wards, together with
pupils from Lakeview and Greendale.
Millbury' street.-The district east of
the woodland street district and south
Of the central and Belmont street dis
tricts.
In fixing the BOUNDARIES for classical
high school pupils the committee has
drawn a line beginning in New Wor-
cester, thence along the Boston and
Albany railroad to Sargent street, down
Sargent to Quinsigamond avenue, from
thence to Millbury thence to Green.
along Green to the railroad, thence to
anu up oQIilllcT W l1luCOtH
square. All pupils living west of this
line, together with those from Green
dale, North pond and Lakeview, will
attend the central high school.
Those who go to the Belmont street
building VIII include pupils from Adams
square, BELMONT street, and those from
Thomas street who live east of the
boundary line. The Millbury street dis
trict includes pupils from Millbury
street, Quipsigamond, and those Ledge
street pupils who live south and east
Of the boundary line. The classical
high school this year will have no pu-
pills CHARTERED in the Woodland street g,
or, as is now, the Gates lane building
AS to the number of high school pu-
pills in all classes, the principals have
not yet made out figures for those In
the central buildings. In the three 9TH
ers, however, pupils will be distributed
as follows: Belmont street, 167; Mill
bury street, 147; Gates lane, 1872. All Of
these are first year pupils. A great deal
of the overcrowding which existed last
year has been relieved by the compile
ton Of the Gage, East Kendall, Mill
bury and Quinsigamond buildings,
which will ease up the buildings used
for high school pupils.
