This seems - poor economical yet we must look into the fu- ture in spending our money. After very careful consideration I would make the following recommendation: That the Crary School be discontinued and the children conveyed to Poquetanuck where we mow have a modern building With one unused room. That the 7th and 8th grades at the Fort Hill School be also transported to Poquetanuck, thus relieving the congestion at Brewster's Neck. With such an arrangement, the three rooms at Poquetanuck would be utilized. With the school re-graded to include grades one and two in one room, three, four and five in the second, and six, seven and eignt in the third, this section of the town would be cared for without an outlay of money to enlarge the build- ings in the Crary and Brewster's Neck sections.
