 The town meeting on Saturday at 2 D. m. at the town hall should have large attendance. The business to come before the voters will be to see if the town will appropriate not more than SIP, 1000 for the purpose of pro- viding additional rooms for the pupils in the borough and to determine the location for said addition. The third article in the warning is to see if the voters will instruct the park commits sioners to sell or dispose of the large barn standing back of the Woodlawn house in the park. There are quite number who are in favor of fitting up the Woodlawn house for the high school, although the cost of altering the property would be nearly as much as building an addition to the present school building, and the expense of maintaining the two buildings would be much more than having the schools all in one building. It probably will not be very long time before an ad- ditional expense of school superin- tendent will have to be met, but this need not be very great, as under the state provision a number of towns can combine and hire a superintendent, thus reducing the amount to quite a little less than if the superintendent was hired by one town alone. The school board have given the need of more room quite little attention, and the following from the Stafford coF- respondent in the Sunday Republican is of interest: There is more or less difference of opinion relative to the location of the additional room for school purposes Many favor fitting up the Woodlawn property for a high school, leaving the present school building for the use Of the grades: There is no question that the ideal system i the separation of the high school from the grades, and if there is to be change we know of no more beautiful spot than Woodlawn. If the high school is removed from the present building it will still leave some of the grades on the third floor, which condition ought not be allowed
  school is taken out an addition will still have to be built if there are to be no grades above the second floor. This is matter which has given the committee good deal of concern for some time. There are now between 450 and 500 pupils in the building, and as it is only frame structure it can readily be seen that it is unwise to use the third floor for young chil- dren who would be in perilous posi- tion in case of fire. The second floor will also be used for the high school, excepting such rooms as are necessary for laboratories and recitation room. There are those who believe that no more pupils should be placed in the present building even though they are not to occupy the third story. The number of pupils continues to increase, and within a short time an additional first anu second grade teacher must be employed On the whole it is quite vtxed prol lem, and the selectmen anl school board anxiously await the verdict of the people.
