AS for the Bulgarians, they would
have to face Rumanian opposition, and
might also find Greece in arms against
them. Thus the chances are that any
Serbo-Italian conflict would not set the
Balkans on fire. On the other hand,
1t is not quite as clear what might be
the French reaction to an attack upon
Jugoslavia which seemed unpro-
soked. or to the possibility Of an Ital-
ian victory over the southern Slavs,

Moreover it is essential to perceive
finally that. although it is likely and
perhaps probable that the present cpl

real, if momentarily ignored, peril to

that it would be.

that it would be.
This year, Mr.. kresge states
there are 1872 students enrolled in
both the schools. In the Mill road
school 1872 are attending classes
while $50 are on the rolls in the
Parker avenue school.
AT the close of school last June
2S4 students were enrolled in both
schools. This shows an increase
of SO pupils during the summer
months. 1t is expected that these
numbers will be increased as the
school year goes on.
The Parker avenue building will
be known as the Mt Vernon avenue
school in the future. The street
that school is on is Mt. Vernon
avenue from the Shore road to the
Shore Fast trolley line. From the
car tracks west it is known as
Parker avenue AS the highway
will be connected over the trolley
tracks, it will be known as Mt
Vernon avenue in the future.

Schools Crowded
Principal Reports
Two Classes to Attend on
Part Time Schedule
in Near Future.

Although city and school officials
of Mortified expected the new bull
ding at Parker avenue to care for
increases in the school population
for many years to come, already
that school, as well as the one on
the Mill road, is overcrowded
Principal Charles M. Kresge an
nounced today, after making Il
check-up in both schools.
So many students have reported
for seats in one or the other of the
buildings, the Board of Education,
at a special meeting, decided to
place two of the lower grades OH
part time, and hire another teacher
to care for the additional classes.
Efforts are now being made to Sc
cure the teacher, and the classes
will start in the very near future.
1t was thought that the opening
of the last room in the Parker ave
nue. building would care for the
increased school population for this
year So many more children re-
ported that the rooms were over
crowded, and the only means OF
caring for the situation was the or
ganization of the part time classes.
With the continued growth oil the
city, members of the Board and
Council members have the old prob
lem of school building again on
their hands More room will be
needed with the start of school
next year. Many are expected to
report early in the new year for
class attendance in the lower
grades the remainder of the school
year.
According to Principal kresge
the increase in school population
has been very great in the past
three years. 1t has been greater
than school officials had dreamed

AT the present time, although the
city has a population which is
reckoned between $4,000 and 20
600 people. it has a small library
that is located in the office of
Principal Charles o. Wilson, in the
high school building. Here two Ii
brarians distribute books three
times week-in the afternoon
only-to a few score youngsters,
while the principal endeavors to
do his work in the noise-ridden
office.
Many who desire to use the Ii
brary cannot do SO because the
building is not open in the even
ing, and they must work during
the day. If they wish to read, they
,, must either go TO Atlantic City fol
books, purchase them, or trust te

high school are also greatly crowd

the County Library. and those be
