Cllluv:h‘ Notes—Men's Forum Tonight. | Y.ast night the members of the pchool board met in a closeted ses-| sion with the citizens' committee of | nine at the Berlin town hall, with| the object of formulating in some manner the desires of the townspeo- ple and the opinions of the school board into a workable plan where- by the question of the proposed ju- nior high school might be satisfac- torily settled and some definite eon- clusion arrived at in regard to erec- tion and maintenance of the build- | ing and the relief it would afford Berlin in an educational manner. Following the meeting Claude W. Stevens, chairman of the citizer committee, said that new plans would -be undertaken for the pro- posed school. After a lengthy dis course upon the matter it was final- ly decided to appoint three taxpay- wers for the purpose of meeting with the building committee of the school hoard. Those apointed were Pardon ¢. Rickey, James B. Ellsworth and R. O. Clark In collaboration with the huilding committee, which is comprised ot A. Moore, R. H. Grahum and acCormick, the new committee will meet and formulate a revised plan for the school and will lay their new ns before the taxpayers and school board for approval. Conse- quently the matter will be presented to a town mecting on March 22. At the recent town meeling a majorily of those attending did not favor the rccommendation of the school board in regard to the high school. Opposilion was voiced to the location of the proposed building and its cost, and other persons felt dubious about the real need, at this time, for a new school with an en- larged program of activities, A few of those present felt that there was | little need, it any, for an auditorium in the building or for a room where puplis might eat their lunches and | e served with some sort of a hot drink on cold days. Since this meetingthe Berlin town | school committec has prepared a| list of questions that was mailed | 10 taxpayers and voters, presenting information concerning school popu- | Jation, the probable direction of ex- | pansion of school activities in the | town, and the site on which the proposed new high school should be constructed. Along with other ques- tions prepared by the committee. | the unsanitary conditions prevailing in the portable building were lukun} up and presented to the voters and | taxpayers.
