be required to help our city in meet
ing the cost of its erection? They can
not, of course, be compelled by law to
contribute directly, but they can and
will help us by tuition fees. We charge
$50 per year now for each pupil. For
tuition in new and better high school
we could and should charge $40 per
year at least. With the present at
tendance such charge would bring in
about $500 each year. That sum
would meet all interest charges on the
bonds that would have to be issued
and at the same time provide for a
yearly reduction in the number of out
standing bonds.
The new high school should be built
at once. When the Academy proper
ty was acquired by the city, the Board
of Education felt that the public was
committed to the proposition to erect
additions to the old building large
enough to provide for all the high
school work of our educational sys-
tenn. The work should not be delayed.
The splendid grounds, the beautiful
building site, and the educational tra-
ditions associated with the building,
render the Academy fit place to be-
come the educational center for
Bridgeton and all the surrounding
country.

THE NEED OF A
new HIGH SCHOOL
Site of West Jersey Academy
Adequate.
OPINION OF THE SUPT.
Superintendent Neal Declares City
Demands for Adequate High
School Facilities Are
Pressing.
(By Superintendent H. ]. NeaD


A little over year ago the City of
Bridgeton bought for school purposes
the property known as the West Jer-
sey Academy. The classrooms in the
old building were changed to accom-
modate about 165 first year high
school pupils, who were transferred
from the Bank street building in Sep
tember. The Board of Education now
proposes to put up suitable additions
to the present building, large enough
to provide for all the high school work
of the city, and the Board of School
Estimates will be asked to provide the
necessary money.
The first object of the Board of Edu-
cation in putting the entire High
School into the Academy is to restore
the Bank street school to the work Of
the grades. The latter building is, by
reason of its location, the natural
school center of the city Perhaps
more small children should by right
expect to be sent there than to any
other of our school buildings. but
the rapid growth of the High School
has gradually forced the smaller chill
dren into other schools. This shas
gone on to such an extent that a Sear
ago only two grade classes, enr4Mng
about 100 children, eouldfbe pro}1ded
for. Those who lived south of iGoln-
merce street, were sent TO South Ave.
School, crowding the Glasses there.
Those who lived above Commerce St.
were sent to the Pearl st. School,
where to make room the, children were
in turn transferred to the Monroe ST.
School. Nobody can realize how un-
satisfactory this condition has been
but school officers who have had to
listen to the complaints of the par
ents. The removal of the entire High
School to the Academy will probably
solve this problem for many years to
come
The Board of Education has been
criticized for not introducing manual
training, domestic science, and other
forms of hand-work into the schools,
and for not establishing special class
es for retarded children, as required
by the laws of the State. Butiow can
this be done under present class room
conditions? Rooms fitted up for man-
ual work and for special classes can
Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1913-05-08

not be provided in every school in the
city. Such rooms must be placed in
the most central building Bank st.
School is splendidly located for these
purposes, and it contains all the
rooms needed for such work, provided
the High School department is trans
ferred to the Academy. If the city
will furnish place for all our High
School pupils, the Board of Education
will no doubt take steps at once to
use some of the vacated rooms in the
Bank st. building for the purposes
stated above. Although all the de-
partments of our school system would
be greatly benefited by the erection
Of a new High School, 1T will be seen
that the greatest benefit would thus
come to children of the primary and
grammar grades.
But the efficiency of OUR work in the
High School would also be greatly
increased by the erection of a new
building specially designed for that
purpose. The Bank St. building is
not High School building. 1t was
not planned for the work of high
school students 1t is a school for
grade children Of course, high school
boys and girls are taught there, but
only because there is no place for
them elsewhere; and the building has
to be used as it is, regardless of the
real needs of the students. If new
building is erected on the Academy
grounds the Board of Education can
adopt such plans as will provide for
all that is considered necessary in a
modern high school course of study.
We have been asked if there would
be any good reasons left for building
a new high school if we excluded the
one-hundred and fifty or more stu
dents who now attend our schools
from surrounding school districts.
Could not the Board of Education
solve the whole problem by simply
excluding from the high school this
large number of tuition pupils? I'm
fortunately, lit could not. Practically
all the difficulties which now confront
us wouldlremain with us in some form
if we had no tuition pupils at all. We
could notsby such policy make the
Bank St. building more suitable
place for high school work than it is
Sow. The elimination of these chil-
dten would not give us the use of
sufheaeht additional class rooms to
enable ASs to make any changes in
the presept assignment of the grade
pupils. The fixed charges for running
the schools, trepairs, fuel, cleaning,
supervision, etc.) would remain prac-
tically the same. And in addition. the
financial loss to the schools would
much more than offset what might be
gained in the way of additional seat
ing capacity. A careful consideration
OF the whole subject has convinced the
Board Of Education that the admission
of OUTSIDE high school pupils is both
profitable and advantageous to the
city, as IT also has been found to be
to the school districts that send them
here.
But If the new high school is to be
used to accommodate the children of
other districts, how can such districts
