THE FORUM
WHY NOT A NEW POOL AND
MORE SCHOOL ROOM?

During the past week or so senti-
ment has begun to be aroused
against the use of the old court
house for school purposes. We feel
that the school board, however,
have not considered this particular
building by preference, but neces
sarily for lack of other suitable To-
cations.
more teacher last year to handle the
large first grade, and the probable
necessity of doing the same this
year, or the very next few years
at least, if the present large enroll
ments continue, shows that the one
building additional last year is not
sufficient. And the small room of
the grade school library is hardly
suitable for large classes such as
prevail in the grade building. At
least three rooms could be cared
for elsewhere. q
The town population is not de-
creasing. and with houses filled and
new ones going up, it appears that
our grade school will have to be
expanded.
/ Our present building is perhaps
loutmoded but still serviceable On
the surface of the situation it would
appear that the voters would not
favor an entirely new grade build
ing to replace the present struc-
ture, but an addition is necessary.
But, suggestion
A building on Dexter Field, west
of the present tennis court, big
enough to house six or seven rooms
on the first floor could also be
made to include swimming pool
that could be used the year round
kept heated and adequately super
! vised. A general program could be
arranged whereby young and old
could have a definite time for use Of
the pool
An outdoor pool, such as pro
posed by the recent meeting. is {
laudable enterprise However, dur.
ing the cool chilly days of fall ane
winter, and early spring, a pool II

{ either inside or outside, will become
