is based upon our public school.

System, and in the way, our pride in our schools.

a serious situation in our schools is arising, caused by
an unprecedented increase in our population. Our schools must be
made adequate in both numbers and facilities to take care
of millions more children in many communities, New and larger
school buildings are needed, classes are crowded and they're just
darn enough teachers to do a good job, and other

conditions are in the schools in his community. If improvements
are needed.
