 Extension Committee Meeting
 The extension committee of the To- cal school board will hold a meeting the latter part of the week. A. A. North, chairman of the committee stated that it will probably be held on Thursday night although this date has not been definitely decided upon.
 The meeting has been called to take action in regard to the proposed ad- dition to the Kensngton Grammar school building. The committee was authorized at the last regular meeting of the school board to send out a call to architects for plans for the addi- ton.
 As result, five plans have been submitted in addition to the one by Superintendent E. R. ShoWalter. All Of the plans call for a twelve room addition. The committee will decide at this coming meeting which one will be accepted.
 The addition at the kensington Grammar school will fill long felt want in this town. Members of the school board have been troubled with the placing of children in the various schools for some time.
 With the new building, several pu pils who live in kensington and are now obliged to attend the Worthing ton school will be able to attend the Grammar school and rooms in the basement of the present building will no longer be used.
 Berlin is one of the few towns in the state where one-fourth of the population of the town attends the public schools. The latest school cen sus shows this to be true. The school board also feels that in building the addition the town will be caring for the increase in school children which Is expected within the next few years
