Lack of School Accom-

Franklin Jr. High to
Use Every Inch of

school yesterday that they “ere
forced to utilize the study room, li-
brary and a small stock room as
class rooms to take care of them.
And in spite of the fact that the
state. sanctions the housing of only
35 pupils in one room and the en-
trusting of (July that number to one
teacher. the registers of nearly ever}
grade in the Franklin school shows
that there are between 50 and 5'5
children in every class.
The rooms in the Franklin school
are at best only of a fair size and
there is ‘dflsk room in the majority
of them for not more than 45 Cllllv
dren. Consequently. all 0\cl" that
number must be crowded in some
where, in chairs. which had been
placed in the back of the room.
They were not given desks and in
many of the smaller rodlns. it had
been found necessary to pluce chairs
in the aisles.
This term Franklin sclldol “ill
have no study room. as the room has
been made over into a. class loom.
Study periods “ill be conducted in
rooms where. rccitations are also in
progress. 'i'hus making it doubly
triing to the teacher who is con-
ducting the cluss. the pupil who is
to study.
The library. “hero children were
also permitth to study and where
reference books were stored. has
been converted into a class room as
well as n stuffy little stock room.
where the school supplies were for-
merly kept.
The over-crowded condition of the
Franklin Junior High school is
apnlling. And a. similar condition
“ill be found in nearly every class
room in the Norwulk schools.
Superintendent of Schools George
V. Buchanan yesterday. to a Sentinel
reporter. decried the necessity which
forced them to place extra chairs in
rooms. which previous to their ad-
vent were none too spacious. But
they were forced to resort to either
this measure or the part-time ses-
sion. which Mr. Buchanan does not
favor at all. _,
Principal Brunjes also regrets the
necessity of dcpriflng students of the
proper school accommodations. lie is
equally as dejected over being
obliged to force upon one teacher the
supervision of over 50 pupils.
“Fifty pupils." he says. "are too
many to entrust to one teacher. It is
impossible for her to give the same
attention to so that she would be
able to give to a smaller class. So
large a. class overtaxes both the
teacher and the pupils and as a re-
sult, they both suffer. The teacher
from tired nerves and the children
from the lack of sound instructions.
such as our teachers desire to.givc."
Mr. Drunjcs does not favor the
part-time sessions, but unless new
schools are erected. sees no other
course open. .
