A survey by the School Department has determined that at least 183 youngsters will enter the kindergarten when classes are established in Norwood next September it was revealed at the regular meeting of the School Committee on Monday evening.

The location of the kindergarten is another problem and the Committee will lake the matter up at their next meeting on Tuesday evening.
