As the TfillOI'i. was concluded by
‘ Secretary Blanchard the meeting up-
'piaudcd. Upon motion of Christian
Swartz. the report was accepted.
To open the whole subject of town
high school to discussion, Attorney
Loo Davis offered a resolution author-
izing and directing the sclectmou to
purchase the Mallory property. at a
cost not exceeding 811.500 and that
the said sum be appropriated.
Dr. Gregory invited discussion. any-
.liig. "Gentlemen. as i understand it
.. this resolution is now before you for
debate."
Judge Asa 13. Woodward asked for
’ definite information. llo desired to
be informed of what was included by
the Mallory property. The only reply
was from Mr. Blanchard. who said
that there was a house on the prop»
or“. which is to be removed.
Mr: Blanchard asked the indulgcncc
of the meeting for our more word. llc
desired to emphasize the fact that tuc
”meeting was not iint'li to create a
high school in tho town. There in, bi-
said, one alrindy in existence and the
whole question lay in the taking cnro
of 278 pupils. This task. he continued,
in an increasing expense. Only tho
{light before the school board boil
voted to employ nnoihor high-school
teacher at the Center School. mak-
ing the total number cinployed for
high school work in the town nine.
Another item is seats. The board
had Just had to nurture more at the

Moved the whole subject resolved it-
solf into the (location whether the
scholars are well taught and cared
for in the local high school. The
board itself had established a four-

Would admit to college. He consid-
ered a high school merely the place
whom scholars are prepared to enter
into higher educational institutions.
The great majority, ho contended, do
not complete the high school course
and the number of high school pupils
do not increase in proportion to those
in the grammar schools. Only ten
per cent. of the grammar school. pu-
plls. he said, enter high school and
only ten per cent. of this number
complete the high school course and
graduate. 'l‘ltcreforo high school needs
do not increase so rapidly. The great
majority of people cannot hear the
expense of sending their children
through high school.
Mr. Blanchard doubted Mr. Swuriz’s
figure of $l7 as the cold of education
a pupil in the local high schools. He
believed this should be multiplied two
or three times. This your thcro is
just one pupil, hit-said, in the fourth
year course, but next year there will
be quite a good sized class.
Mr, Sworiz quickly replied that ho
had the figures and itddttl that it cost
no more to educate a pupil in tho
high school than in the grtuntncr
grades.
Attorney .1. llcldcn llurlbutt brought
up unothcr point. He said: "it scents

Turning to Mr. Swarm he said:

he said. any that the boy who goes
through high school has 200 times the
chance of the boy who merely goes
thrOugh grummarschool and the col»
loge man could only beat this twenty
times. He referred to Mr. Duvla' ro-
mark that many business houses
would not take boys who had no high
school education. Even if it wore
true, as Mr. Swartz had said, that only
n- few pupils graduate from high
school, whatever time they spent
there bore irult. To say that a pupil
only partly finished a high school
course was equivalent in his mind to
toting dinner and leaving the dessert
behind. 'Mr. (lutnbari referred to thc
strides East Norwalk had taken in
attributed that.
mction'a large growth to’its interest
in School matters.
Referring to Mr. Swurtz‘s objection
to having the high school on West
avenue, he believed it to he a line

turns thc most attractive side to the
back lot? he asked. in conclusion he
aid that nothing would help the town
more or nothing could be u better in-

Mr. Swartz's comment was, “it is
certainly very amusing to hear those
i-xuggcrnted statements." The com-
mittee had allowed $1.500 for a blah
school principal and he did not think
(Iliu could be secured for this print.
llebutting Mr. (lumburt's declaration
but it was not the high school boys
who ware to be found about the street
'ornors, he asked, “How many present
here tonight wont through high
school?” "How many wanted to?"
asked some one in the hall. Mr.
Swartr. contended that. if a-boy did
not have it in him he would not "get
that the committee had taken some there," it is impossible to rank

lie wanted to know what. kind of
school visitors the town had to al—
low tlio school to lmcomc no domorulw

spcnkcru. Mr. Swartz sat down among
luterminuod biases and applause.
Mr, liurlbuti took the floor again
and said that Mr. Swartz reminded
him of Mr. .li-kyl and Mr. Hyde. (inc
stutunu-nt be had made was that 81,500

$1.400 for its principal, who looks hf-

Blanchard thought that Mr.
Mr.
Piorson‘s suggestion w a seemingly an
attempt to throw col « water on the
whole proposition but Mr. Pierson re-
plied that ho was heartily in (aver of
a high school. ' He also suggested
but the tax laid be. used for construct-
‘ng the building and not as payment
on a form. He favored paying for
the whole Job with one or two taxes.
Mr. Swnrtz did not consider this fair
to the taxpayers and believed a mill
a your to be sufficient.
Referring to how the money of the
tax was applied. the money would
have to be borrowed in the first place
'iflli therefore there would be interest
to pay, Ex‘Mayor Adams said.
it was voted to lay a one mill tax.
Upon motion, of William Richards
that figures be'socured for the new
building from local contractors only
and amendment by Henry Meihcis, "if
the figures come within the appropria‘
tlon." it was so voted.
Mr. Richards contended that. local
contractors have not lit-on getting fair

that there are plenty of local con-
tractors who can do the work.
Mr. Golding asked if any figures had
been secured. except tltoso of the ar-
chitect and upon receiving a negative
answer from Representative John A.
Olibol‘ll, of the committee, replied that
ho had never known of a building to
be constructed within the estimation
of an architect.
There was no further business and

The expenses attendant upon the ar-
ection of such a building as is here
rotunnmcndcd are its follows, Some
of these items are necessarily esti—
mates, but. the aim has been. in Uicse
instances in tnnkc the figures cover all
probabior contingencies,

The expenses of maintaining a high
school in the proposed new building
must ho to some extent. a matter of
conjecture. The number of scholars
to be taken care of. and the number
of coiirsc of study to be undertaken
are items that will enter into the cal-
culation. in the combined school
there are economies that can be prac-
ticed not possible where two schools
are carried on. For instance a sub-
ject in which there are ten or a dozen
scholars in each of the two schools
and requiring a teacher in each could
be undertaken equally well by one
teacher in the larger school. (in the
other hand thcro are branches which
it is not possible to touch under pres-
ent conditions, but which ought to be
included in the curriculum and would
he taught. in the new school. Your
conunltico estimates that with about
300 scholars the following touching
force could do the work very well.
certainly to better advantage than ii
is done at the present time, and cover-
ing it wider range of subjects. As
your committee understand lhoir du-
tlui-i they are not to recommend any
makeshift affair and call it a high
school. The people oi Norwuik’wnni
a tool high school or they want. none
at all. At the saute limo they are
not asked to endorse any oxtruva»
gnuce.

in conclusion your committee beg to
call attention to the fact it was not
their province to purchase a lot and
ercct a high school building. They
were appointed to "lnveatinte and re
port" and trust that it Will not be
found that they have fallen in any
respect short or their duty. Their ot-
ilco was to do the preliminary Work
that would enable the town to take 01- "
iuiiiixont action, and if such action was
in line with the committee‘s report tot _
pm It in the honor of a committee to i
go forward with little delay in carry-
ing the vote of the town in silent. ii
is- very much to be desired that the
promised new high school building be
ready for occupancy on the first of
sepintnbcr. 1000. To insure each a
result work should be begun on the
around- und building item the and
