SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
LOOKS FOR MORE ROOMS

BERKELEY, Aug. THE attend
ance at the schools this week after
the summer vacation, demonstrates
that there is not room enough to ac-
commodate all the children comfort
ably with the present number of
schoolrooms. Superintendent S. D.
Waterman sets forth the situation in
a statement to the public, in which
he shows that, Notwithstanding the
withdrawal of many children on ac-
count of the recent vaccination order,
there has been an increase Of $50 in
the number of school children. In re-
viewing the conditions Superintendent
Waterman says:
THE need for more school accom-
modations and especially for the con-
centration Of the sci oils in each dis
trict was never more apparent than at
the present time. At least sixteen
rooms to the building, as soon as the
population in each district will war
rant, are the least number that should
be provided to adequately meet the
needs.
