HIGH
SCHOOL WANTED
South Shore Assn Takes up
Matter for Four Year
Term at Tottenville

TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 24.-A four
year term high school in place of
the Junior High School at present
being maintained as two year course
at ~Iottenville, a centrally located
high school either at Great Kills or
Annadale, a park at the historical
Eillopp House on the shore OF the
staten Island sound at Tottenville
and the change in schedule on the
Staten Island Rapid Transit as ef-
fecting the express running to HUI
guenot Park at night were the prin-
clpal matters taken up at a meeting
/, of the South Shore Protective Assoc
citation last night at the Prince Bay
Country Club house last night.
President Augustus G. Marscher
was in the chair and there was a
good representation of the members
present. Thirty-two new members
were enrolled into the association at
this time. For some time taxpayers
on this end of the island have seen
the need of a high school with the
four year term established on this
End of the island, instead of having
their children travel twelve miles
by train each day to Curtis High
school at st. George.
N. ]. Lowe, principal Of the Tot
tenville school, a member of the as
ISOLATION, spoke Of the great ad-
vantage of a high school at this end
of the island and the a~daptability for
the four year term here. Others
spoke in the same vein and argued
that the pupils from here now at
tending the Perth Amboy High
School could also be induced to COM
plete the course here instead of hav-
ing to travel back and forth on the
ferry every day to school.
In a resolution passed the matter
will be taken up first with DR.. Bak-
er, superintendent of schools for the
borough Of Richmond and then to
the Board of Education, both for
the four year term here and for the
centrally located high school in or
near Great Kills or Annadale. The
park committee of the association
were empowered to take the matter
up with the Leland estate owners OF
the Billopp House property with re-
gard to the purchase by the city OF
a park site. Borough President
Lynch has already brought the at
tention of the Board of Estimate to
the matter and he will also find out
the cost and what expense would
be borne by the taxpayers in its pur-
chase. Residents of Prince Bay and
Pleasant Plains have entered a pro-
test with regard to the change in
schedule where the express only
comes as far as Huguenot Park and
does not touch at the other two
places on the line.
With regard to the high school
matter there is a similar fight on
the north side of the island where
Superintendent Baker wants to abol-
ish the Port Richmond annex and
make the pupils of that section go
to Curtis at st. George. The matter
has been carried to Mayor Hylan,
who is promising to take the matter
up at once.
