The proposition for a tev higt ■cijool and co<ntz^..ji) boil Ui/ig « it; waa nrvivod at a wall dCUmded xmseting of the Progressive lucague Moiwlay evening, and rtauiMaaw favoring the project wore adopted. Copies of tleje have oeer. rtCiit the Citv Crtimimflom and the Board of Education. There were 8t metnOers of the league at tne maeung, uuc 19 of Umuc are property owner* here. The preamble recite* Che origin of the movement two years ago and tells of the urgent :jeod of eucL building. The resolution, presented at the meeting by the committor, h. B. Swan, it. H. Gardner and Roland ! Steel man, follow* Bhrrea*, over two years ago a movement toward securing a new high school building that could be : u*ed a* a community building wa* started. The uvea was presented u> several civic organization* and wa. endorsed by all of them; aad Whereais the Ocean City Board of Education, about one year agn, pa*sed a resolution stating that a new high school budding was badly needec and fixed the account of money necessary approximately at >325,000. The board of achoo. estimate, consisting af the Gil; Commissioners aad two members o: the Board of Education, was callwi tofcthei to pass upon the ma Iter - They isitad •» postpone actsac anI til the next year for several reason*, principally on account of the higt. cost of construction arc the high tax , rate of the current year; aad Mhereas, every reason that was urged for a new building a year agv i» etjually effective and more imperative today. The higt school work ! is handicapped by not having sufh1 oent room. Both first grade- are ! badly overcrowded, one room having | fifty pnpite and the otaar testy pupii>.. A first grade should not have more than thirty pupils in Ota: room. There is no room available *0 that these classes can be divided. If provisions for a new building are not starter immediately, It wid be necessary to make some provision for these first grade pupils and it doe* not seem wise to spend mooey • for a temporary building when a new building ia so imperatively needed. At present, part of the pupil* are on part time, which is an lajustice to the pupil* and resident parent* and taxpayers; aad Whereas, during the past winter the lade of proper aixbtsriwm- capacity for community gatherings for educational purposes has beer, felt more than ever. One department of the summer school has been taker, away for want of proper equipment. Building costs are lower than they I were and to complete such a building a* is contemplated will take a year. Therefore, M k Resolved, that this organization again appeal to the Cltr Commissioners and the Board of Education, ; urging the great necessity of immediate action to adopt mean? | whereby the erection of a high -Lool and community buL-img, with sufficient and adequate quarters provided for the Apiericar.
