and Northcnd school situation," Mir, Holmes said do not forget the Northnnd school which has been ac- commodating children in portable schools for three years" It is just as hard for those children to use portable schools, he added. As a whole there is not the great pressure for accommodations in the i elementary schools as in previous years. Mir. Holmes said. Explain ing this he aaid the great mass Of children which at one time made necessary the construction of clc- mentary schools has passed as a group to the junior and senior high schools making conditions in these schools crowded.
 Mr. Holmes statement contains much information and figures. The school enrolment has increased 653 since 1927 and 94 since last year, ! The largest increases were in the senior high with 72, central junior high school with fl, Franklin school 1 with 53, Lincoln school with 45 and 1 Washington school with 51. Transfers From Washington School To relieve the Washington school l Mr. Holmes proposes to transfer 70 pupils from the first four grades to the Bartlett school, to organize one class with AZ pupils to be assigned to the portabl building and employ one extra teacher.
 AS relief for the Franklin school he advised the employment of an extra teacher to relieve two teach CTS who at present have 119 pupils. This teacher would use the special room in the auditorium. The | Franklin school pupils live too near the school to be transferred to the Washington or Bartlett schools, Mir. Holmes stated.
 The Isreal Putnam school would be given relief by discontinulng the kindergarten. organizing one class with 25 pupils and assigning it to the Kindergarten room and employ
 ing an extra teacher.
