EXTEND PHYSICAL WORK IN SCHOOLS This Is Recommendation Made to Board of Education the a At the November meeting of school board yesterday afternoon, special report on physical training favoring -a possible reorganization and extension of the work with a view to increased usefulness and ef- pointment of a special committee of five to consider the matter and report not later than the January meeting. The report was accepted and the committee. the Osgood Hill school were tc the attention of -the- board perintendent Holmes. explained situation in detail and declared that an addition to the building might be nece: ry next year: The finance committee reported the approval of bills totaling $11,093 and informed the board that bills would have be paid in advance to obtain cash discounts. Chairman meeting to the October Secretary W. approved, Bid is Repudiated. L. H. Pease reported that a of $160. had been secured to pro- vide wire guards for the windows at the Prevocational school, effecting a considerable saving: The contract for_the retaining wall at the North- end school was awarded to M. O, Baker for $190, but the .cantractor repudiated it, saying he did not un- derstand the specifications. New bids were obtained and M. O. Baker was again the lowest. His bed was $298 and increase of $108 over the pre- vious bid. It was voted to. cancel the original contract and on the rec- ommendation of the finance com- mittee the new contract was approv- ed. called Su- B. F. Gaffney called the order. . The ‘minutes meeting were, read by L. "Hatch and were bid Furniture at High School. Mr. Pease reported that some new furniture is needed at the High school. There is call.for 99 chairs and 51 desks. The finance com- mittee obtained bids. B. C. Porter’s Sons bid $1.35 for chairs and $4.40 for desks, total $358.05. The com- mittde was authorized to make the purchase- It was explained that two new recitation rooms will be created when the vocational school is-opened. The drawing and commercial rooms will be vacated and in th the new desks and chairs will be installed. h Discounts. To take advantage of cash dis- counts it is necessary for ‘the finance committee to pay bills in advanee of the. board meetings. The board will have to give its approval later, said Mr. Pease. E. N. Pratt said this would practically mean taking. the payment of bills out of the hands of the board and asked about bills that did not receive the board’s approval Mr. Pease- said the committee would have to chance that. President Gaff- ney explained that this power was obtained for all boards by charter amendment and was designed to give the city an opportunity to save by paying cash. He felt that the finance committee could be trusted and that any member questioning their judgment would be recalcitrant. Armenians Want Room. The Armenians have asked school board to be allowed to use a room in the Burritt school after school hours to teach their children the Armenian language. Mr. Pease offered no recommendation. Pe: sonally he :didn’t approve the idea. He thought the children should be taught to be Americans. Dr. Kelly said the chldren went to the city schools, but the parents wanted them to know gomething of their own language. The Germans and Swedes have the same privilege. Mr, Peasc said he did not want to discrimin- ate. The petition was referred to the finance committee with power. Night Schools Doing Well, Chaijrman H. P. Roche of the eve- ning school committee reported that the committee had visited the schools and he gave a favorable report of the work being ' done. The new classes such as typewriting, cooking, dressmaking and drawing are more popular than the old classes. Health and Sanitation, Reporting for the committee on health and sanitation, Dr. E. T. Fro- men said Dr. Dalton, a medical in- spector, had made 55 visits to the schools with 304 examinations. | Twenty-five contagious cases were lo- i cated. Dr. C. M. Cooley made 46 visits, with 76 examinations and located 10 contagious cases. Dr. Lyon made 49 visits, 355 examinations and discov- ered 11 contagious cases. The schools were found in good sanitary condition. Mr. Pease complimented the medical inspectors on their work. Congestion at Osgood Hill, The teachers’ committee reported hiring a new teacher at the Osgood Hill school. Superintendent Holmes explained conditions there, Last year there were 57 children and today 100 with only two teachers and two rooms. It is a growing locality. Conditions will be worse by February when new pupils are admitted. There will be first and second grade pupils in’ one room and third, fourth and fifth in the other room. There is no room down town for fifth grade pupils. Both the Burritt and Bart- lett schools are over crowded. The authorities got around the difficulty by employing an assistant teacher and fitting up the corridor as a class room. Some changes were required. Mr. Holmes thought the school will have to be enlarged next summer, Extend Physical Training, The committee-on -teachers ithe following report: - “The committee on teachers in the the Thade was made by “the teachers’ committee | ficiency: and -recommending the ap- i president was_appointed to name the | Congested conditions at | the | o of | Are you ready to Carve that Turkey!

Oonnscting with MART FORD, 10 TRUMRULL ST. course of its consideration of candi- dates for the position of physical di- rector made vacant by the resignation of Miss Beth Marcy became convinced that a possible reorganization and training department should receive the attention of the school committee with a view to increased usefulness and efficiency in this work. “At the present time two special teachers for this subject, both women are employed. One of these devotes practically all of her time to the di- rect teaching of physical training in the Grammar and Prevocational schools, the size of this school being such that no time is left to this teacher to devote to the schools of ! lower grades. The other teacher, is in the High school where she di: vides her time between the teaching of physical training for girls and elo- cution for boys and girls. “It will be seen that this arrange- ment leaves all the elementary schools having grades I to VI inclusive, and all of the boys of the High school without provision of any sort for physical training. We believe that this is a serious omission and that measures should be consdered for placing the work of their department upon a more s actory ba “The modern school, which mands practically all of a child’s time for its work and leaves only a nar- | row margin for physical exercise and relaxation, must recognize its respon- sibility and provide for physical as well as intellectual development. ‘Your. committee therefore recom- mends that a special committee of five members be appointed to consider the subject of physical training in | all grades and the High school, and make such recommendations as to a reorganization of the course of study and the teaching force for this sub- ject, as may seem for the best in- terests of the schools, and that this committe present a report not later than the regular January meeting of the school committee.” Truant Officer’s Report. Truant Officer Andrews report showed 164 absentees of whom 72 were sick and 57 at home for other causcs. There were eight truants and 15 were tardy. Motion Picture Machine- A ccmmunication from Miss Sarah A. Townsend, secretary of the Par- ents’ and Teachers’ association of the Grammar.and Prevocational Grammar schools, was received in regard to the installation of a moving picture ma- chine. Dr. Kelly favored laying. the matter on the table. President Gaff- ney tnought it should be referred to the finance committee. Dr. Kelly thought if such a thing is needed Su- perintendent Holmes should know. He didn’t think the Parents and Teachers’ association should presume to dictate in such matters. Mr. Holmes believed there is no such intention. He thought if such a machine is bought the board might well consider the pur- chase of films. The aim is educa- tional and such machines have been installed in the Hartford and New York schools. The state of New York employes a man to instruct in oper- ating moving picture machines in its schools The machine will cost $200. After the first year the maintainance will be $75 plus expressage. He said the machine is fireproof and is ap- proved by thie board of fire underwrit- | ers. Mr- Hatch was in doubt as whether the fre underwriters had ap- proved this particular style of machine Mr. Holmes assured him that it is safe. The films are non inflammable. Thé communication was referred to the finance committee with power. Prize Essay on Safety- The Connecticut company has offered prizes for the best essay on “How T Keep Safe on the Streets and Roads,” to the pupils in High, Grammar and grade schools in Connecticut. Presi- dent Gaffney read the communication from the company on the subject, giv- ing the conditions in detail. Gola prizes of $20 and $1 Oare offered. The essays must be submitted before De- |} cembet 1, 1915, Superintendent Holmes distributed copies of the condensed school report in pamphlet form, 5,000 of which were ordered printed.

BRUEMMER-POWELL ENGAGEMENT TOLD At Dinner Party Given by Bride-to-Be at Her Home on Maple Street Last Evening. Announcement was made of the en- gagement of Louis W. Bruemmer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bruemmer of 10 Madison street, to Miss Edith M. Powell, daughter of Mrs. Mary A. Powell of 230 Maple street, at a din- ner party at the Powell home last eve- ning. About fourteen of Miss Powell's voung lady friends were present and the announcement, cleverly concealed until the psychological moment came as a complete surprise. At each place set for dinner was a littic balancing bird perched on the cdge of a glass. Suspended from the bird’s mouth was a place card, on the 1cverse of which was a photograph of Miss Powell and Mr. Bruemmer. When Miss Poweli pulled aside the bird at her place, disclosing a ring all doubt was cast aside and her congratulations were in order. Both Mr. Bruemmer arc well known - of friends and both are popular at the Methodist and South churches. Miss Powell is president of tiae Metho- dist Philathea class and at the South church Mr. Bruemmer is superintend- ent of the boy's department and is also president of the New Britain Christ- ian Endeavor Union, as well as being rrominent at the Y.
