sington junlor high school this fall and but four rooms to accommodate them, the school board is hard put to it to discover way whereby all pupils may be accommodated in tre limited space allowed them. There is a possibility that ones session plan may have to be adopted. but Miss Mary Griswold, superintendent of schools, stated today that she was , not in favor of the plan and that if there is any way by which all pupils may be accommodated at the school in two session program this will be done.
 Last year there were two rooms in the building that were used tor upper grade pupils when the over | crowded condition of the junior high school made it necessary that som=- thing be done about the matter. The addition to the kensington grammar school building that is being dis cussed by the members of the l finance board cannot possibly be 1 completed in time for the fall term. and some housing method must be devised by the opening Of the school | in the fall.
 In 1923 the plan of single ses- | sion in the afternoon and one in h , evening was tried, but this did not , prove successful. At that time the first two years of high school were hNi, NI the end of two months second-year pupils were sent to New Britain and i the school adopted full session periods for the remainder of the , term.
