He sald that a city does not look far enough ahead when it is lay- ing out a school plan. Schools are erected, but are outgrown in a few years. He pointed out that the lot upon which the Monroe school stands s not large enough. One grade of that school has to be accommodated at the Camp school, because there is not room emough at the Monroe, Mr., White discussed means of es- eaping from this condition consider- ing portable bulldings, additions, the buying of a plot of land and the di- vision of the district, using the Mon- roe school and the new school.

Dr. Joseph H. Potts asked If there was any reason why the district could not be split. He ex- pressed the bellef that the building should not be abandoned. He :gid that a new plot of land could bhe bought on BShuttle Meadow avenue, and both schools could be used. When asked to what extent the dis- trict has outgrown the school, Mr. White replied that two more rooms would accommodate the children, but there would be no gymnasium' or auditorium, However, he said, the city expects a large growth in the southwestern part of the city and two rooms at the present time would mean:other additions in the future. Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods, president of the Central Par- ents and Teachers’ assoclation, was present and stated that there were school before there were cities and if the last dollar has to be spent, it should be spent for schools. “If the boy doesn't receive a proper educa- tlon, what will become of the city?" asked Mr, Woods. The schools must be sulted to the needs of the chil- dren in order to have good citizens, he declared. Rev. Dr, J. E. Klingberg of the Children’s Home was present and fa- vored a new building on a different site in the southwestern section. Following the discussion, in which several members took part, the vote was taken. Coples of the resolution will be forwarded to the Central as- soclation. Officers were elected for the com- ing year. They are: President, Wal- ter R. Fletcher; vice-president, Ar- thur E. McEv secretary, Miss Bbby Nerl; treasurer, Miss Helen Wheeler; executive hoard, Clarence E. Barnes, Mrs. Joseph H.
