per that the public should be in-
formed of the reason why the Board
of School Directors think it necess-
ary to make such a considerable ad—
dition to the Public School Build=
ings of the Borough, to erect a new
heating and ventilating system, and
to make such other alterations as
these additions necessitate, all at a
possible cost of some $15000.00.
Therefore, it is proposed in this
article to show the need of these ad-
ditions and changes and how it
proposed to supply the need. It is
probably well known that the

current school year, and consequent.

known that without taking® this re-
duction into account, the rooms in
our school building are
small and are,

therefore, much over
crowded. ~ his will be better un-
derstood by making a comparison
of the dimersions of our
school rooms with the

rooms are 18 by 26 feet and in this
space are crowded from 42 to 48

little more than 10 square feet of
floor space for each pupil, The
dimensions of a modern school room
for 50 pupils, as recognized by the
best authorities at this time, are not
less than 26 by 30 feet, which allows
a floor space of about
