Editor Evening Sentinel. Dear Sir
-—-As the public hearing given by
the Common Council Monday night
was for the purpose of listening to
objectors to the Fairfield avenue
side. nfiny people did not attend who
favor the site. so the expression of
opinion ‘given by raising hands.
showed really a. small sjority in
or those op sing: the
site. a large majority came ’ from
East Norwaik. Naturally they Want
a. site selected which will be most
convenient for them: but a ,site
which will be most. convenient for
them will not be a. site which will
be most convenient for the children
of South Norwnlk.
.The fact that we must consider
the future. that the children of fifty
Or a. hundred years hence will be
going to this school. was mentioned
over and over again and that is a.
most important factor to consider.
So. let's consider it.
walk will have a J'unior High school
of its own. and when they select the
on a site which will be the most con-
site for that school they will decide
venient for the children of East Nor-
walk. and when they have that
school. which must he. and should
be not. more than four years hence.
the question of whether the school
which is to be built in South Nor-
walk is convenient for the children
of South Norwalk will be matter
of utter indifference to them.
So. as long as no great hardship
will be inflicted on the children of
East Norwulk by having to walk a
short distance up a hill. which is
tercst in the matter ceases.
The important question is one
which concerns the convenience of
the children of South Norwaik and
the site hould be selected entirely
on that h sis. it should be as nearly
as possible in the center of the area
which the children of this generation
and the future ones will have to live.
A school building placed on “'csi
avenue will be on the outer rim of
this area. and the majority of the
children will not be best served by
that location. Most of the children
living in South Nero-ail.- who will ni«
tend this school live in or over the
hill section. and their illt'iillS of trails-
portation will be their own feet. and
this must be. taken into considera—
tion in selecting a site.
The argument advanced that. the
school should be placed on \l’est ave-
nue to advertise the city, was made
by people who have no children of
their own going to school. and so
they do not look at the matter from
the humanitarian side. from the side
of the welfare of the children of
the ego of these who will go there.
but only from the viewpoint of busi-
nrss. They speak of building the
School on the avenue to advertise the
city to strangers who pass through.
Well. it won‘t be a. very good adver-
tisement to place a. school which will
be shut ill on both sides br‘business
buildings as the T’létt‘qilo't wii surely
be, and on the main thoroughfare of
the city. where traffic conditions are
already a serious prqblem. I
Then too, the at expezhse of
cutting down the ' round of the
Plait. property woul use up such a
large sum of money it might prevent
the erection of one of the much
needed school buildings.
it is a great pity that-Mrs. Betts
did not. make the statement which
was printed in the newspapers. at
the public hearing. there would un-
doubtcdly have been a. different show
of hands. had it been. but the point
of the whole discussion is title: The
Board of Education and the Conl-
lllon Council. were elected to run
the affairs of this city for the best
interests of the citizens The school
under discussion is for the children
of South Norwalk and regardless of
business interests of certain people.
and of criticism of those not well
uniformed. they shbuld selects. site
which served in the best wiy the
greatest number of children in South
Norwaik now and hereafter.
