The crowded condition of the several
school buildings of the city is becom-
ing a serious problem and there are
those who say that the only way out
of it is to issue more bonds and erect
some more school buildings. The sum-
mer just past has seen more activity
In this direction than in many years
and it was supposed by many that the
expenditure in building would suffice
for some years. But nearly all of the
new accommodations thus provided
are already taken and there must still
be more room, for the children expert
ence has taught will come in increasing
numbers in the next month. Just what
to do is puzzling the board of educa-
tion. The condition was talked over
at the regular meeting of the board
last night and will be the business of a
special meeting called for Thursday
night.
