SCHOOL ROOM ENOUGH
Bureau Of Municipal Research
Points the Way to Relief.

The Bureau Of Municipal Research renewed yes
terday its criticism Of the attitude Of the Board OF
Education toward the part time situation, prac-
ticsly reiterated its statement that the present
shortage is due to causes entirely within the
trol of the Board OF Education and not to the Board
Of Estimate" and added that 1t Is clear only
that the Board OF Estimate is acting without in
formation, but that ii has been acting upon misn-
formation"
Instead of there being any necessity FOR pupils on
part time, the Bureau Of Municipal Research as
serts. there is a round total Of 100000 sttings IN

The statement further recommends that vacant
sittnes in one elementary school be used by ele-
mentary children in nearby school who want
fun time and older children be compelled to travel
practicable distances if by doing they will re

Research recommends that the part time prob
