 The opening of the fall school | term on Wednesday, September 8, will find a number of the districts
 with insufficient space to accommo-
 date the rapidly increasing number of children.
 The new school in the fifth dis
 trict in East Bristol will be ready
 for occupancy and with the space
 now available that section of the
 city will be taken care of for the
 next several years. School District
 No. 1S in Forestville carly this spring acquired @ piece of land on
 Pine street and it is believed that school house will be erected on the new site within the next year or two.
 The third school district, which takes in both the buildings on School and Church streets and the Park street school is now crowded to its capacity and an addition to the Park street school is now badly needed. Last year it was necessary to send the two highest grades to the South Side school and a similar condition will prevail this year.
 School District No. 12 on Fall Mountain is still handicapped for space and it will be necessary to send about 2 children from that section of the city to some other district. The two factions which have caused so much turmoil on the school question in that rural district cannot get together and their attitude reacts on the children. | Last year. some of the pupils were taken care of by the South Side | school, but the committee of that | district has informed the committee 1 of Fall Mountain that it will be inn i possible to accommodate the chill 1 dren this year. It is understood that | request was made of the high school | committee by Howard Andrews, j chairman of the 12 district, for | permission to use one room in the old high school building on Sum- mer street. This would be imprac- ticable due to the fact that it would be necessary to heat the entire building for the use of one room. A little later it is very probable that the building will be utilized 10 take care of the overflow from the new high school.
 District No. 1, which takes in the Federal Hill school and the John Jennings school on Burlington av- enue, is pressed for space and of children from the latter section are being taken care of at Federal Hill. This will ultimately result in the erection of an addition 10 the John Jennings school.
