LARGE ADDITION
TO NORTHWEST
HIGH CONSIDERED

The increasing number Of students
attending Northwestern. the young
est of the Detroit high schools. has
caused the board of education 20
consider building an addition 10 the
school at cost OF about s400, ,000.
The school Is already over-crowded,
although II has been open but two
years.
The increase in population In the
northwestern end OF the city and the
great congestion In the other high
schools are given as the reasons for
the great number OF students attend
'ug Northwestern high this term.
'h're IL ample room on all sides of
'orthwestern high school for extra
uildinss.
The erection OF the addition as
roposed would make Northwestern
ne OF the finest and best equipped
nigh schools IN the state. n not IN

oristion at the next meeting OF the
