CHILDREN ID USE CONDEMNED SCHOOL
OYercrOWdins Causes Call on
 Old Bartlett Building

The increase in attendance In the public schools Is so large that 1t will necessitate the reopening of the con- demned Bartlett school, it has been definitely decided, and cause several other schools to go on part time schedules. The transfer of several hundred children from the Sacred Heart parochial school to the public schools, with the normal increase, has caused the enrolment of the Washington school on High street to jump about 800. This increase Is more than can be handled in the building, and ten rooms of the old Bartlett school at Broad and Grove streets will be opened Monday. The necessary teachers will be obtained by drawing on the substitute list.
 Two classes at the Smalley school and two at the Monroe school are on part time, as are one at the Stanley school and one at the osgood Hill school. These changes in original plans are necessary in spite of the turning of the old normal school on Hillside terrace into public school.
