The girls' record, while. not quite as gond as the boys, was stili excellent. Eighteen.girls wei-e accepted, while only sëven werere- jected. The 1930 record. was poorer than that'of previous years.

This condition is * règarded sonytmporary in view of the previous good record, and since * increased coaching -pro visions have been made to provide forr iuderits preparinoe for these examinations. Cuummnd New Trier Letters are now on file from the admittance authorities of the varions eastern colleges, cotmending New Trier's preparation4-or their colleges. * H. L. Agard, chairman of the com- mittee on admissions of' William s College, writes "New Trier High school is first class in every wav, and prepares its students adèciuately for college." Henry Pennypacker, chair- man of the commrittee on admissions * at Harvard, in a letter .dated October 2, 1930, makes this statement: "I first muade the acqiaaintance with New Trier Hijgh school about ten years ago, and 1. concejved at hat time a respect for the standards of the school, a feeling which I have neyer had occasion to modify." The direc- tor of admissions and dean of fresh- men at Princeton University writesj' "I am glad to tell you..that New TIrier boys are tiot only well prepared, but, do very gond work indeed at'Prince- tmu" TIhis letter was written last fait. Information has just comne f rom the school to accommnodate an u1ti- mate school attendance 'of one thou-, sand students., The excellence of thé arohiîtectural -plan, ,the. grouping of the ýbuildings, the magnificent ex- panseof the lawni,,haveë been. a source, of pleasure and pride to al who have known New Trier. The accommodations were not to suffice, however. In ten years the one thousand stude .nts1 had .béeen passed.. The dsrblt of the north shore as a place of residece, to which the character of its schools has been no small contributinig factor, at- tracted new families and more stu- dents at a rate that placed the re- sponsibility of another expansion plan upon the school board. In 1920 theý indications were that an ultimiate school population of twenty-five huti- dred should bc planned for. This number now seems to be too smnall to cover the ultimate school attend- ance which New Trier may expect. Fortunately, the Advisor systemn, which was established by Mr. Clerk, affords a means, of' maintaining a direct personal contact between the students and the scho<>l administra- tion and is so flexible as to, accom- modate the, increasing nunibers that- may be expected. Face Difficutlt Task The onrushing tide of students- ever mounting hýigher and higher- has given the school authorities ai difficult proble.m. Buildings and equip- ment miust be provided for the ac- comnodation of ail students who niay corne. The high educational character of the school must be maintained. It bas been the policy of the board for veanqa ta dnvamanwon~~,ri-a 41,. - v.rrt largement bas becomne very pressing. The plumbing in. the1 laboratories (wvhich bas been in, use for the last twenty, years) has practically' given out, and would have to be replaced if the present laboratories Wé're arle- quate to provide . for future1 needs. Laboratories are to be located on: the. ground floor of the new 56-room lab- oratory and class- rooni building which is planned to adjoin the present aca- .demnic buildings on the north. The plans for this building contemplate a building of plain architecture. with- out a single frili or furbelow to add unnecessarily to, the cost. The build- ing is, however, to represent the last work in utility and convenience f or the business of handling a large nuin- ber of students and providing them with the best equipment for life that ipossible in a high school. The Shops and Mechanical Draw- ing department, which are indispens- able in the preparation required f or* certain types. of higher education and for many business and industrial ac- tivities., will be located ini a semi-de- tached building north of the Mess hall and west of the new class 'room building. Two wood shops wilhe' piovided to replace the present sin- gle, over-crowded and still inadequate wood shop, also a forge and machine shop and an automotive engine shop. In addition to these shops, this build- ing will céontain two, mechanical drawing rooms and biouse the muùsic departmnent on. the second' floor. NeJNew Natatoriuni The growing demand for additional facilities at New Trier bas included a. natatorium.

To' these annual payments mnuit be added inerest, which will bring the' total requirement, up to between $60,000 and $70,000 per year. The in- terest charges wiil 'be reduced annual- ly to largely offset the increasing principal, maturities. The payments which have been made out of current tax incorne toward the cost of. the new gymnasium, for which no spe- cial bond issue was made, have ainonnted to f rom $75,000 to $100,000. a year dnring the past five years. The same annual suni of money will be available to nieet the interest and maturing bonds of this new bond issue, without its being -necessary to make any increase in taxation. Qne of the statisticians at the high school has prepared some calct*ations on the proportions of 'the prefent taxation which will, be required to nieet the demands of the new bond issue and finds that the amount of the annual tax that would be applied to this purpose on a piece of, property worth $20,000 would be $6.66, On a $10,000 property $3.33, of1 the taxes paid, would be applied 10 this purpose-.each year. An increase in the present. tax payments will not be necessary for thîs pur'pose as the present paynients already include a fund for building enlargement which ivili take care of is not 'OluCL* i iticcb utilt ou gymasia orsuUy.
