last night by Or. Carroll y. Reed,
assistant superintendent ~ schools,

Overcrowded conditions at the
school, which restrict half the en-

give this section of the city first
claim to hew school facilities, DIR,
Reed declared. The Board Of Educa-

The addition, which would include
an assembly hall and gymnasium, a
library and a practical arts room

estimated $250,00O. DR.. Reed said
Capacity Of the school would be in
creased from the present 800 pupils
to about 600. More than 500 pupils
now are attending classes at the
school.
