Know your city. 1949-09-07
In this installment of "Know your city," Dr. Willis Dunbar interviews Dr. Loy Norrix, superintendent of Kalamazoo schools, about the ways the school system is working to alleviate overpopulation problems in schools around Kalamazoo. Norrix talks about the various measures being taken this year, including sending some children to different schools with more room and converting some houses owned by the schools into classrooms. Norrix emphasizes the role of the community in working to solve the overpopulation problems facing the school system in the coming years and argues that a further construction program needs to begin immediately so that the school system is well positioned to deal with population fluxes in the coming years.
