OVER 60 YEAHS OF SUCCESS. Thursday night, reveals that Plain vile, more than many towns that already have high school facilities, needs a building wherein the grow ing youth may be educated accord ing 10 present day standards.
 The town has doubled it's popula- ton and grand list during the past l , years and al the present rate of increase it will double again in seven years. A total Of 9I more children were enumerated in Sep tembor 1924 in Plainvilie, ranging in age over four and under lG years, than were enumerated in Scptcm- bcr 19g3.
 Tn" class 10 be graduated from .the grammar school in June, 1925, is about the usual size, but the class to be graduated in 1925 will prob .ahly be much larger as there are approximately 90 pupils in the two seventh grades.
 Oscar s, F'itzaimmons, engineer for the Connecticut state board of education, who recently surveyed the town for the purpose of aiding the committee in locating a site for the high school states:
 a. "Th" walking distance for pu- pils over l2 years Of agr or over IS not an important factor in Plaiu- villo. A. school IocatoI near Inc center of population would fX the longest possible travel distance un- der two miles and that for d very few pupis
 b. "Thorc should bc adequate playground and athletic facilities.
 C. "The site should hr Irrgc enough to allow for future growth of popul1tion and for doubling the sig" of the school plant
 q. "The grounds should contain from four 10 seven acres.
 q. "lt is more economical con future needs and probable rises in prices 10 buy site. at pres cnt. which will he large enough for future needs. Looking ahead for q number of years, the ultimate cost would he less than making succos- sive and unsatisfactory purchases at advancing prices to meet ever in cr"asing needs.
 f. 'It is absolutely essential that a sewer connection should hc avail able, Tho sewer conditions at tho present time @t fhr Broad street school ar" unsatisfactory.
 <. "A high school in plaIu,illr should offer courses that will be open and of advantage 10 all pupils |" ho graduate from grammar grades This will increase inc total F. gis'ra- ion in the PlainyiIln high srEool so hat by the tinr tn. school is fully under way with lorr complt" yrars )f work. there will probably he en- rolled between 2co and 250 pupils.
 These reasons for deep thought or h" part Of the voters should ho de- puod before Thursday night, when lrlion vill be taken on the school .itc,
