Berlin School Enthusiasm

A very noticeable interest in the
betterment of the schools of the Ber-
lin districts is to be noted all over the
town. The enthusiasm shown by the
voters in petitioning the school COM
mittee to tender the office of superin-
tendent to a fellow townswoman has
aroused a general interest in all
phases of the school question. For
many years the school committee has
been hampered by one thing or anoth-
er but it now appears that the school
committee and the residents are unit
ing in determination to pull togeth-
err to the end of improving the whole
situation.
Recently the school committee has
been strengthened by the election of
several of the strong business men
and their influence for harmony and
needed reforms is already being felt
The general sentiment among the
people Is toward helping the school
meet the ever increasing school bur-
den and some of the voters who have
recently investigated the situation
have changed some of their opinions
and are now boosting for a progress
sive movement for school betterment
The number of children of school
age has increased very rapidly in the
past year or two and as indicated at
the recent district meeting at Blue
Hills, the people are beginning to de-
mand larger and better school facili-
ties, at the same time cautioning the
school committee to provide these in
creased facilities at the lowest posi-
BILE expense to the tax payers Many
are expressing their gratifcation at
the revival of interest and it is likely
that the next year will be one of bet
ter cooperation in school matters.
