Buys Y. NJ. c. A.

At the regular meeting Tues
day night the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen concluded the pur-
chase of the Y.M.C A. building,
pursuant to the election of last
spring which authorized the
Board to purchase the building.
The building will be converted
into a public school to take care
of the overflow which IS now
worrying the school trustees of
the city. 1t has not yet been de-
cided what grade pupils will be
placed in the new building. AT
the opening of school last fall the
trustees and superintendent
found it necessary to place a
grade in the room which had
been set apart and fitted up as a
library. The rapid increase of
population makes a constant de-
mand for extra school facilities
and the Board of Mayor and AL
dermen have voiced the senti-
ments of the people of the city
by making this purchase. By a
good majority they voted a year
ago to buy the building.
The Journal favors the estab-
lishment of a high school for
girls in the new building and the
placing over this school Of one of
our most competent teachers as
principal.
