debated advisability of building a two-
room addition at Whatcom road, or
erecting a school house in the lake
area. Thirty pupils have been relayed
to Kilgard school, and the attendance
at Whatcom road has swelled to 150,
divided into three class rooms which
are not properly sufficient in accom-
modation.
