in the school. the number being de-
pendent upon the enrolment.
The extension school will be open

in the city but this may
not be heavy problem inasnuch as
the schools will then be closed and
some of the local teachers will have
gone elsewhere for the summer. II is
desired however. to properly provide
the teachers with accommodations
and 1t is probable that community
support will be asked to this end.
