small to handle the groups.

6. The opening of the central high
school and the organizing of a junior
high school in the old building can
bring no measure Of relief to this dis
trict.
For these reasons, your committee
believes that although, at the time
of the survey, the needs of this school
were not so apparent, yet the changes
and development that have come since
that time make it advisable that the
time of constructing school for this
district should be moved ahead and
work started at the earliest possible
date.
We would, therefore, recommend
that the board approve the plan of i'm
mediate construction and that a COM
munication be sent to the city coun-
ell setting forth our views and ask
ing them to take steps to provide funds
for the construction of a 24-room
school as soon as the completion of
the central high school shall relieve
the pressure for funds.
Respectfully submitted,
