GALPIN _Miss Mary Griswold, superintend- ent of schools, made & plea for a new building in her last report. She stated that ncw houses are now be- ing erected in Kensington which points to the fact that a new school building will be necessary beforc the congestion becomes so0 great that a part time schedule will have to be adopted to take care of over 500 children. The superintendent also stated that 12 teachers and 839 children have, for the last five years, been suffering from poor lighting, poor ventilafion, crowding and general inconveniences in two basement and two portable rooms. In her report Miss Griswold rec- ommended that steps be taken fer the immediate construction on the “Alling” site of a new building suit- able for a modern junior high school with a minimum of eight class rooms, an auditorium. and basement rooms for manual train- ing. This type of building, claims Miss Griswold, would generously provide for present needs and for a period of ten years. In case of the eveat that a senior high school is organ- ized, Miss Griswold recommended that the type of building be one to which a six room addition could b made at any time.
