Griswold, superintendent of schools, which was submitted at th monthly meeting of the school board st Friday evening. Special atten- tion is given Miss Griswold's outline of the needs of the town in the fu- ture and the reference to the night school work. 1t is generally believed that the report was given fo the public at this time in order that the situation might be studied by the will make up the budget for th coming year, some time in October school board members are quoted as stating that the question of bu activities is one which should the intense study of every resident of this town in order that they might come ot the meeting view of the needs of tivities which will be that meetin At present among the membe hoard are investigating needs for ex- pansion in Kensington. An ontion on a piece of property owned by Ex-Judge Willard I Alling has been secured and it is a genecral belief that the school board will petition the town for an appropriafion to cover a building to he erected in that spot. The move followed an appe I.AI by the superintendent in last year's nnual report which stated that congestion existed in Kensington schools. Miss Griswold has been constant supporter of asures which might relieve existing condi- tions in that area since her appoint- ment to the pffice of superintendent of schools n 1923 In outlining the conditions in Ken- sington schools, Miss Griswold states that 659 children and eight different teachers have suffered from poor lighting, poor ventilation, crowding and general inconvenience in two hasement and two portable rooms for the past four years. She points to the fact that registration in these four rooms will doubtlessly be larger in the coming term and states that two alternatives are open to the town; t of taking away the four high school subjeets ¢l ing the rooms to the v dren or limiting the age entering the school to Five and a half years of limit now set by local thorities for entrance schools. Instead, Miss Griswold urges the construction of an eight-room by ing with an auditorium which would allow for expansion in future years. 1t is generally believed that th ceptance of this last plan will the goal of the school b the finance committee this year.
