The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-01-28

The problem of population expansion as it affects school
building needs is going to catch up with the Bluffton school
district in the not too distant future it appears. Indications
are seen that the local school authorities and the board mem
bers have already started thinking in that direction.
Last week Superintendent A. 3. Murray asked elemen-
tary teachers, PTA officers and room mothers to assist in OBJ
tanning data on the number of pre-school age children who
will be knocking on the s~choolhodse doors within the next
four or five years. At the same time the board of education
is reported to be giving consideration to the possibility of
opening up additional classroom space in the high school
building to take care of what may soon be an overflow from
the older elementary building. Every classroom in the older
building is said to be filled about TO capacity now.
Bluffton has been fortunate in not having had to grapple
with the problem of inadequate building accommodations
sooner. 1t may still be several years before the community
will have to come to grips with the problem, but it seems that
the time cannot be too far away. Much has been learned
about public school buildings in the years of high costs since
the war. Much has been learned of new materials OF
planning, and Bluffton should be in the fortunate position to
profit by the experience of a great many others.
