School Now Overerowded

Still to be settled is the problem
of accommodating the increase Of
school children this term. Unable
to take additional kindergarten
pupils at present, it is expected
that the over-crowded Elementary
School will become more made
quate as the influx continues. Two
alternatives seem to be open to
parents of kindergarten-age chill
dren: They may be kept out of
school until the fall term, when
the new school will be completed,
or they may be entered in the
Nursery School, which is now ac7l
cepting children of this age.
Greenbelt's school construction
fund of $450,000 is only part OF
an allotment of 100000 set aside
for new couty schools. To this
sum has been added $13,575 by
Nicholas Orem, county suDerin-
tendent of schools. to be used for
maintenance of facilities.
New School Will Be Larger
Greenbelt's North Side" chii-
dren will enter an enlarged, mod
ern elementary school house this
fall, consisting of 16 rooms and
combination gymnasium and au-
ditorium. The general plan of the
new school will be similar to the
present elementary school build
ing, ard with four additional class
rooms, it will accommodate about
500 Students. The added desk
space will not only relieve the eX-
istihg overcrOwded condition, but
will provide ample facilities for
the increased enrolment expected
with the opening of the remainder
Of Greenbelt's new defense homes.
The additional to the high school
VII finally provide Greenbeit's
higher education with an audito-
rum and gymnasium. Since It's
opening, the high school building
has been a constant target for
criticism because it has failed to
provide a place for indoor meet
ings and athletics. With the
added six rooms, Creenbelt High
School will provide facilities for
an enrolment of about 1000 stu
dents. Most of these stud"~ts will
come from Greenbelt. The bal
snce. as at present, will be con-
tributed by nearby communities.
The new school will be located
