THOSE FOUR NEW STRUCTURES.
Speaking OF the four new school build

| tendent Small says:
Though not yet fully equipped the
new buildings are In use as follows: Lex
| ington avenue, nine rooms; America
street seven; Regent avenue ten: Ro-
| chambeau avenue three, and for the first
time In many S&~rs all pupils except those
/ In the special schools and one room at
Candace street are properly housed in
school buildings. and there is room for
\ future growth. The only school hall now
| used for school purposes is at Roosevelt,
and this will be remedied as soon as the
new grammar building on Webster ave-
nue. is completed
The opening Of the new buildings ne
cessitated the changing Of many district
f, lines and the transfer OF many pupils.
These changes were made at the close
OF the last school year. TO take effect at
the opening Of this school year There
has been great harmony in these changes:
very few objections have been received
from families affected by them"
For future growth there are IL rooms
available In the grammar buildings and
26 In the primary structure This makes
the outlook for two or three years very
comfortable. as compared with past ex-
periences The high school situation will
be very much relieved when the addition
10 the Technical school Is completed.
