MORE ROOM
NEEDED

The School Board Monday night was
called upon to consider some very i'm
portant matters relating TO the wei
fare of our public schools. Borough
Superintendent Gordv presented care
fully prepared statement calling the
attention of the Board to the gradual
increase of pupils yearly admitted to
the High School, the consequent lack
of room and teaching force and asking
the directors to consider not only the
advisability of providing more room
and employing at least an additional
teacher, but also of extending the cur
riCulum to take i'll commercial work.
As this matter is one which concerns
every tax payer Superintendent Cor
dv's statement is presented in full. 1t
reads as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the
School Board In view of the present
conditions existing III our schools and
those by which we shall likely be con-
frouted at the beginning of the next
school year, l wish to make the fol-
lowing statement, supplemented by my
recommendations as the best solution
of the problem. 1t is submitted for the
purpose of calling your attention to
the conditions of affairs and request
ing your further investigation and ac
ton with the unqualified confidence
that you will weigh the matter well
aud do the very best thing possible i'll
the light of educational demand, the
financial condition of the Treasury
and the Borough and the wishes of the
people for whom you act.
For some years there has been
gradual increase in the number of
pupils who complete the work of the
grammar schools and enter the High
school and n decrease in the number
who leave the High school before the
completion of their course. These
facts are shown by the following
statistics gathered from school re-
ports:

not TO permit proper ventilation and
class room work. Since the statistics
provide for an Increased registration

cOngeStcd then than now or formerly.
If it is desired that the same standard
of graduation be maintained in point
Of time or proficiency, further divi-
sion of tie classes into sections is i'm
possible for the lack of teaching force.
As it now stands all the teachers are
occupied fol the entire day. | teach
two classes belonging to the math-
cmatical department and would have
more had we not discouraged the cleo
tion of other subjects which our course
of.study guarantees to students of the
Senior and the Junior classes. We did
this as the best way to avoid condi-
tiOns which would call for half or
more of my time in actual teaching. |
do not object to the teaching, but |
take it that the School Board retains
me for other purposes and it is fact
/ that teachers can be had to do such
work acccptahiy for less money than
/ receive
We might reduce the number of
/ daily recitations of each class from
/ four to three. This would lower the
standard of our course corresponding

years would not relieve the crowded
condition of the School but make it

The logical solution of the problem
( seems to be the establishment of an
/ other department.. This cannot be
/ done without the provision Of more
room, since every available part of
the building is now i'll use. If the
erection Of an annex is a feasible pro-
position, it is my recommendation that
it come under your favorable consid-
Grafton as soon as possible along with
the advisabiIity of adding another
teacher to our present force.
Our students have attained at grad
uation commendable degree of pro-
hcicncy in the subjects studied. This
is concurred in by those in a position
10 pass Judgment intelligently, and
particularly is it done by the profess
ors of the colleges which our students
enter. The fact is however, that only
a small per cent. 20 to college and a
large per cent. are obliged TO earn a
livelihood Immediately after gradua,
tion. Since our Courses of Study are
arranged to promote culture and gen
eral fitness for life, these young mel
aud women have little more IN the
, way Of special preparation for respons
3 i5Ie positions than when graduates oil
the Grammar Schools. For this reason
some OF our best pupils leave the Higl
School to attend Commercial Schools
tor the necessary equipment or ente
Offices to learn from practical exper
fence.

THE EASY PILL

DeWitts Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system
They cure biliousness, jaundice,
constipatin and inactive liver by
arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet effectually, and
giving such one and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the orgns involved and,
if their use is continued for a few
