interesting facts of growth gleaned after a close study of Berlin school registers for a period of twenty years. Those figures are here given as apitulation while the latest of this school year are added to bring it up to date.
 Again repeating, but giving latest figures, would call attention to the fact that 12 different teachers and S39 different children have during the last five years, suffered from poor lighting, poor ventilation, crowdine, and general inconvenience in two basement and two portable rooms.
 'Once more. omphatically re- commend that steps be taken for the immediate construction on the "All- ing site of building suitable for a modern junior high school with a minimum of eight class rooms, an auditorium. and basement rooms for manual training. This provides generously for present needs and for a period of ten years. In the event that a senior high school be organized this size would be inad- equate. The type of building. then, should be one to which a six room addition could be made at any time.
