DEFENDS WORK OF JACKSON ST. SCHOOL GROUP Mrs. Brick Blasts Critics, Explains Original Use For Building Northampton, Nov. 27-Mrs. Evelyn Brick, chairman of the committee which planned and built the Jackson St.

School four years ago, today said she has been given "nothing but criticism" for her Mrs. Brick made 'her comment in the wake of additions made by the School Surgey Groups on its report which originated summer and which has listed the Jackson St. School as an "emergency." On the question of overcrowding and an "emergency' at the Jackson St. School, Mrs. Brick, who is a member of the School Board, agrees.

She- added, however, that the building is now servicing more children than it was set up for. Mrs. Brick maintains that original plans called for the school to accommodate 104 pupils from Prospect St. School, since torn down, and other numbers in the area. While the building was in the process of being constructed, the school area was revamped, Mrs.

Brick states, with I the result that more children were placed in the school than the figure which plans called for. commodated "Perhaps them, could but have we dial not, plan it that way. They moved in other. children from other 'school areas and that caused the emergency, not the original building plans," Mrs. Brick stated.

She said that at present the Cloverdale Nursery is using Jackson St. School, along with other children from Florence, and this has upped enrollment a point where something has to be done. Mrs. Brick feels that action should be taken elsewhere, for "it they build up in Florence there is no emergency at Jackson St." She stated that for the new building, no' more, classrooms could be added to- the original plans in 1951 as the land they had to build on limited the actual construction size, as set down by the State School Building Assistance Committee, of a building. school was constructed for additions in later years, she said.

The survey group states the school area near Jackson St. should be revaluated by 1962, but Mrs. Brick feels it should be done now. She said publicity on the matter has always called the situation an emergency but has never mentioned the fact that school is servicing more children than its plans called for by virtue of the school area change while it was. being built In this regard, Mrs.

Brick feels a professional survey group could have done the work and completed it without the bickering which has resulted. DEERFIELD News Discussion Slated at Center noon.

The committee said such a system would permit use of the senior high school until September, 1963, one year longer than previously was thought possible, when a 12-room addition must be ready. The only alternative to this last recommendation would be an establishment of half sessions for junior high school in 1959 and for the 'high school also in 1963. The long-range program recommends additions to Florence, Vernon and Bridge St.

Schools to them the same facilities as other schools in the system. It recommends combining Hawley, Williams and South school students into one school in the future.
