A survey Of the beginning classes in
dicates there will be between 10 and

been notified by mail. Competent

More Room Needed
A statement from school officials on
the housing needs has often been re-
quested. At present the elementary
school needs two grade class rooms.
one for the extra primary and one to
replace the room in Central which was
formerly used as library and which |
has been converted into an understood
classroom. The high school and junior
high could make use Of two more class
rooms. The library which is now To- /
Gated in the assembly should be in
room. The gymnasium was an
excellent one in 1917 when it was built
but Is below present standard. The I
auditorium has not been able to seat
crowds and other large
public gatherings for some years. The |
school nurse has no adequate quarters.
Should a building program be
launched? That depends upon public
demand. The school Is not materially I
larger now than it was three or five
years ago and can continue as it is I'M
der present conditions. But if the ques-
ton is, Is the school crowded for
room?' it must be a decided answer |
IN the affirmative.
