 school Sectional Problem.
 Following an article which appeared in last evenings Herald relative to the necessity of erecting an eight room addition to the present Kensington school. there has been much talk about the various parts of the town to the effect that inasmuch as only Ken sington people win benefit by that school tho entire town should not pay for It.
 R. K. showalter was interviewed up- on the question this morning and has the following to say about the matter: "of course tho erecting of new building is not to be a sectional affair. IL must be remembered that the Jun for High school waa only established last year and that tho children from tho eighth grades all over the town were gent to thia new junior high school"
 Tn further explanation of tho mat ter. MT. Showalter said that by taking the children from the eighth grade and placing them in tho junior high rchooI tt meant moro room in tho var ious buildings about tho town. More room was made at tho worthington Hubbard and selden schools whero portable buildings would have had to Dc placed had 1t not been for tho Junior high school. These build lngs would have been purchased by tho town and all sectiong would have shared in their purchase.
 Tho only hindrancu to the building ,f an addition is -he fact that a bend ssuo would be necessary while in us- ng tho portable buildings the school .oinnisteo fg able to ts-ep within ita ,eariy appropriation. Pat the ropu- htion af Berlin is continually growing md the portable buildings would not. time. relieve the cohgt stion as lew addition would.
 By building this eight ro' m addi- lon at the Kensington school. moro oom will be provided at the other chooln ir asmuch 7a tho seventh grade uplla will also be sent here At pres mt the seventh grade of the Kensing- on grammar school is the only one to cnefs from the junior high school. thilo tho latter calls for pupils from n seventh and eighth grades aa we'll . from the first year in High school.
