As it is, the present building and its three portable buildings, have proved inadequate, and a branch school was opened on the East side where 130 first and second year pupils are enrolled. The new building, so obviously needed, and so long promised, has again been delayed ou account of the lack of funds for building purposes, owing, it is said, to the Smith one per cent law which arbitrarily limits the amount of money to be spent for all purposes, including public schools. Our immediate hope is the issuance of bonds to be voted upon by the people this month (May). It is earnestly hoped that the voters of Cleveland will understand and appreciate the necessity of this action and will put their seal of approval upon what seems to be the only method of relief for the present situation. In the meantime we shall keep on doing our work as efficiently as we know how, constantly looking forward to the time when we can be housed in a building specifically adapted to our work and sufficiently ample for all our needs.
