 Need for High School
 With a total of 136 Plainyille chill dren in high school and the number increasing rapidly each year. the proposed new high school is shown to be a necessity by figures made available by the committee investi- gating this project. Tn 1911 there were only S4 high school students in Ithis town, but this number gradually increased untiI in 1915 there were 51; in 1920, g.; in 1923. 104 in 1924, Ill. and in 1925, 13G. This is an increase of 102 during the past IS years. or gain of almost seven pupils year, while during the last ten years the increase has been at { the rate of almost eight each year, ! On this basis PIainville would i have 2i3 high school pupils in 935, hut with a high school fully equipped the committee feels that i the increase would he faster and inc number would he c50 fen years hence. There are now more than twice as many pupils in high school as in 1915. and on this basis the town would have 299 in 1885.
 The usual class will he gra du- { iated from grammar school in Juno, while 9o pupils will he advanced . from Grade VII 10 Grade VIII. Soventy-two houses have .becn erected in the town during tho past year and this means more children i for tho schools. There are 1,h"0 children in the grades al present and the number Is already growing rapidly
 i The school cost here in I9"5 was l $"0.a70.o7. an increase Of s1S,&&442 over 1910, but the department doos not feel that jt has been eXtravagant. I In 199@-o2 only three towns in tho state, Plymouth, Portland and New l Milford, spent less money per pupil ithan did TlainriI)e. the remaining 1 165 towns eXpondng sums in excess of that spent here, Tho committee is of the opinion that these figures show q high school 10 ho not only mot an eNtravaEanre but necns- l sity.
