S15O,0OO SCHOOL
VOTED IN ORANGE
Building Will Be Erected in Rear
of Present High School
This Fall.

By unanimous vote the Orange
Board of School Estimate last night
decided to grant the request Of the
Board of Education there for $3.50, 900
for the new Central Grammar School,
which will be located in the rear of
the present High School building at
Main and Cleveland streets.
This sum is in excess of the orig
inal figure that was fixed for the
building, which is to replace the Day
Street School, which has been re-
modelled fo- use as a city hall. Elk
plantations offered as arguments by
the school officials for the higher
cost of the proposed structure,
coupled with the failure of the bid
ders to get their totals in recent es--
Inmates down to the sum the Board
of Estimate originally allowed, de-
cided the question, and the $4,000
was voted
The rapid growth of the commercial
classes in the High School has neces-
STATED the use of larger quarters by
the pupils, and the present High
School auditorium will in future be
devoted to the uses of students in
that department. From two score chill
dren taking the commercial studies
the total has increased so rapidly
that the old quarters are inadequate,
and Superintendent James N. Muir
last night quoted figures to prove the
need for providing for this flourish
ing section of the school system.
There have been angry protests
from parents now compelled to shift
their children to remote schools,
owing to the cramped quarters of the
buildings that are in use. Half-time
sessions are also handicapping the
pupils. and with the new school in
condition for use in September. 1914,
the school officials hope to give every
child place in the classrooms for
a few years to come.
Estimates will be advertised for at
once, and it is.hoped ground will be
broken for the new school in No
