If the Board decides to simply put on the addi- tion and go on with the commerci- al department, we will need a minimum of ve rooms. so that I would adrvise you to put on six rooms and enlarge the assembly hall.

How- lever, I am of the opinion that if the course were established we would. in time, get a satisfactory attendance-. A check-up to date shows a tot- al of 16 boys prepared to enter the proposed agricultural course and 11 girls the domestic science course. A canvass of the rst and second forms revealed that 88 students were prepared to trans- fer to a commercial course.
