The educators considered the offer of co- operation from the union a generous suggestion. The letter follows: “The Typographical union of New Britain would deem it a pleasure to co-operatc and assist the school board in the matter of i alling the print- ing plant in the new Vocational High school. As our oflicers are all men j of capab in their chosen calling it would seem fitting that this body should be represented at least in an advisory capaci We are calling | this matter to yvour attention at this time as we feel that New Britain should have the best in equipment that can be had. We as printers take pride in our work and we want to see our young men, “when they have com- pleted their cou of instruction be able to take their places in the print- ing establishments hereabouts and be a credit to the profession, Trusting that we may be of service to you.” The communication was referred to the committee on school accommoda- tions, President B. F. Gaffney reported that the New Britain schools, on in- vitation of the Chamber of Commerce, would have an exhibit of work for the ‘“Made in New Britain week.” This will be at the headquarters of the United Electric 1. and Wat company on West eet.
