 New School Needed
 There is no doubt but that there is need for added accommodations for the pupils. It stands to reason that if the school day of child has to be cut in half simply because there is not enough room in the school to house the entire body at once, that child will not be getting the proper amount of attention from his teach CTS or the proper amount of training, because the teacher has not time enough to give this attention and training.
 Last year at special town meeting the subject of new school was preached. The superintendent of schools and members Of the board were present at the meeting with fig ures showing just the conditions in the town. The overcrowded conditions were shown on charts and the growth of the school population was illus trated.
 However, the town meeting voted the project down. Now some of the people who voted the motion down have realized the fact that the schools are overcrowded. They realize the fact that the children are not get ting in the proper amount of time or study. They realize that the school of the town and the good of the fu- ture citizens of the town when they brought up the subject of a new school.
 The subject will probably be brought up at town meeting again this fall and it is thought that many more people will cast their votes for the building than will cast against it.
 The present school board is making a careful study of the housing situ- ation, taking each school separately. In this manner the people will be presented with the facts just as they are. Superintendent of Schools Show alter also made an extensive study of l tHC IohSlIlS oitudtIOli. put to lio iN dlls It didn't do any good. The people seemed to think that something was going to be put over" on them and were prepared almost as soon as the meeting started to veto the proposal. |
