Despite its designed capacity, Pet. worth School has on its roll 736 pupils, some of whom are being cared for in a portable building and others in “part- time"” classes. During the World when pupil congestion was at its pes Petworth School represented a ver table ‘“education village” with its students attending classes in its regu- lar building, five frame portables, an abandoned church building and a rent- ed _residence. In addition to its own structural additions, Petworth School has been relieved considerably by the opening last year of the Barnard School, Fifth and Decatur streets, which absorbed 378 pupils of the community. The establishment of Macfarland Junior High School at Iowa avenue and Webster street also aided materially by grouping all the seventh and eighth The still serious congestion will be further relieved under the pro- visions of the five-year building pro- gram, which calls for an addition to the Barnard 8chool, funds for the erec- tion of which already have been ap- propriated, and an annex to the Ray- mond School, Spring road and Tenth street, which is yet to be appropriated for. —_—— The cost of Nving in Great Britain is now two-thirds higher than be- fore the World War.
