Want Advice on School Question Camden's Board of Education intends asking the advice of the city's representative bodies before it takes any action toward changing the site of the proposed new $400,000 high school from the armory plot at Wright and Haddon avenues to Parkside. A resolution has been adopted asking the opinion of the Board of Trade, Civic Club, Business Men's Improvement Association, Rotary Club, Whitman Park Association, Stockton Wheelmen, Women's Club and New Era Club. The ground on Haddon avenue was purchased a number of years ago for $40,000 for the school site, but it is declared it is now hardly large enough for an up-to-date building. At Parkside it is pointed out that there is plenty of ground, so that athletic fields could be provided. However, the Board will not act until it learns the sentiment of the several organizations.
