MASS MEETING
THURSDAY EV'NG

The Gardiner Schol Board have PLAN
ned mass meeting for the citizens of
Gardiner, which is to be held in Lii
brary hall, Thursday evening, June at
IS o'clock. This action is considered
necessary as it is apparent that some,
thing must be done regarding accom-
modaticns al the High school, and this
meeting is for the purpose of starting
the movement for new building. Hon
A. NJ. Spear will preside and a large
attendance is hoped for.
Some weeks ago the committee ask
ed that outside accommodations be
provided for the overflow that must
come at the commencement of the fail
term of school. The request was tabled
and the committee have received no Of e
fetal information regarding their re-
quest.
The whole question hinges on the
reception IF outside pupils and not only
this but the retention of those already
in the school. The entire educational
department, both officials and teach
ers are unit in their belief that to
refuse to receive them would be
severe blow to oIr educational system
On the other hand the mayor in whose
care the education department is
placed by the city charter. believes that
the nur:her of tuition pupils should
be so limited that the school would not
be overcrowded. Both sides have many
ardent adherer:s ana but one thing is
certain; that the crisis has arrived and
ii shouts he definitely decided wheth-
er or not new building should be
built. All are invited to attend the

| be expended under the direction of the
experimenting school committee"

recommends the passage of the following
order:
| Ordered: That from Sept 1. 1916, the

| the transportation of South Gardiner pu-
| pills in attendance at the High school to
the extent of 81 per week each; and tina,
