There are plans under way to continue this improvement by the addition ot new tools and the consolidation ot math and science, which go along with new trends. lt requires an etticient and civic-minded Board ot Edu- cation to attain the standards our school system, which consists ot I5 buildings, lO2 teachers, and 2300 students, now boasts. The board must constantly replace equip- ment and instruction aids, and this year they supervised the completion ot the new auditorium-gymnasium.
