Sniey school hed resshed the Umit of itg accommedations and it was nmecessary to move portable bulldings to the achool grounds to care for the overflow. Supt. Stanley H. Holmes was called upon to explain the situation and from him members learned of conditions in the northern section. He sald the Israel Putnam school on 'Osgood avenue, the Smalley achool, and Stanley school would bei it an elementary schoe! built on the Oak street land. He suggested that this be studied during the summer meonths. The use of the portable achool will delay matters long e¢nough so that the need will be more pronounced in the near future, he added. During his ta'k Mr. Holmes re- called the time the achool board was criticized for over-building when the Stanley achool was constructed. Since then an addition was built to the original school building. He said basement rooms could be used but he was not anxious to adopt this course which he said was “worse than the portables:” The gymnasium is already being used, although the ditorium might be used teachers the school declared it is needed for the many activities held there,” he said. H. §. Ready in January According to Committesman George LeWitt, a member of the school accommodations sub-commit- tee, the new high school additien will be ready for occupancy in Jan- uary.
