schools which have been closed, to use basement rooms, to erect a por- table building and to open another room at the Percival schools, to care for the increase.
 New Building Needed
 While the war was on, and during the period of imitation which followed the war, the above mentioned meas ures were justified. Now that they are past Berlin must face the prob lem of a new building at Kensington. The Kensington school was designed to make possible an 8 or 10 room addition at later date. This should be built next year, according to school authorities, to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1922. This will permit the closing of the Ledge school, the of the basement rooms at Kensington, and the use of the portable building at some other point of congestion. It will care for the growth of the school population for a few years. It is also thought likely that after few years it will be found necessary to erect a building
 
 Probably it is not known to all that about 6S per cent. of the chil- dren attending the Berlin public schools are of foreign blood Unless accommodation are made soon these foreign children will not be taught the American ideas as they should be taught. -
 New York Tots Here
 The fifteen children brought to Berlin under the auspices of a New York newspaper will arrive in town this afternoon at 4 o'clock. They will be met at the depot by dele sation from the Berlin Motherhood club. this organization being re- sponsible for them while they are in town. From the depot they will be taken to the homes of the various people who have promised to take care care of them during their stay. The escort who will accompany the children to this town will be enter tained over night by the committee in charge of the affair
 A committee has been appointed to make plans for an outing and picnic to be given the children during their stay. Mrs. Boardman of Berlin is at the head of this committee. Other parties and social events will also be given at the various homes in which the children will be placed.

Few people in the town Q Berlin realize that a large percentage of the school children are unde, l weight.
