DOUBLES CAPITAL Stockholders Vote lor Increase From $300,000 to $600.000 Doubling of the capital stock of the Hartford $300,000 io $600,000 constituted the principal business of the meeting of | the stockholders of the concern held yesterday afternoon in the office of the company on Market street, Hart. ford. The increase has been gener- ally expected for some time, in order to cope with the rapidly increasing husiness of the company. The increase in the stock issue con- sists of $200,000 preferred and the remainder in common, making a to- tal capital stock of $300,000 common and a similar amount of preferred. The previous amount was $200,000 common and $100,000 preferred. A vote of commendation to the di- rectors for the wonderful strides made during the past year, and which bid fair to be permanent was taken. The progress is not based on war or any Auto Parts company from ! ! unusual conditions and for this the stockholders predict that the concern has other reason success attained by come to stay. As the meeting consumed consid- erable time no meeting was held by the directors so no action was taken on how much additional stock shall be issued at this time, but it is the general belief that $100,000 in pre- ferred and $50,000 in common will be near the mark. Although no date was set for a directors’ meeting, it is probable it will be held next Friday afternoon. The company has not as vet decided whether the concern will expand its local plant or build a new building to be run in conjunction with the site erected by the Chamber of Commerce Building association, Inc., in this city. The stockholders expressed their opinions as being satisfled with either course. It was explained during the meeting that the only thing that was delaying the opening of the local fac- tory, was the non-arrival of the new machinery but it is expected that everything will be in readiness by the last of July or early in August, The growth of the concern in re- cent months has been enormous, its business in February 1916 surpassing that of the corresponding month in 1915 hy five times. The company does a business of about $60,000 a month compared with $20,000 hereto- fore. A special meeting of the Phenix Minstrels will be held tomorrow morn- ing at 10 o’clock in Jr. O. U. A. M. hall. Members are requested to bring their uniforms. PHYSICAL CULTURE PLAN IS ADOPTED School Board Approves System Devised by Special Committee ! The March meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon was brief, 48 there was little but routine busi- | ness to come before it. The finance committee reported, recommending the payment of bills totaling $6,- $32.64. L. H. Pease said the com- mittee had been forced to exceed its authority in two matters involving the spending of more than $100. Coal was needed at the Vocational High school and he had a car transferred there and recently the heating ap- varatus save out at the open alir school. An emergency job was neces- | sary and the contract for a mnew heater at a cost of $170 was let to Libby & Blinn. The hoard ratified the action of the committee. Mr. Pease also reported that plaster in Rooms 16 and 31 at the old High school had been ruined by a leak which occurred during the midwinter vacation. They obtained bids from T, W. Crowe, one of $150 for plaster the other for $60 for repairs. ihe committee favored replastering and was authorized to let the contract at that figure, The report of the teachers' commit- | tee, which appeared in yesterday's | Herald, was rtead and approved. Chairman Gaffney explained that Mi: Ella Connor, one of the new teachers, has had seventeen vears' experlence | teaching in Broadbrook. Her salary | is to be $650. THe other teacher, Miss Helen Davenport, receives $550. Physical Training. E. M. Pratt moved adoption of the special report of the committee on bhysical training. Superintendent | rolmes gave his approval to the new | plan and said th® present tem s | unsatisfactory. Other places arc | ahead of New Britain in this depart- ment of school work, especially the citles in the Middle West. Chairman Gaffney read a communi- cation from the Prevocational School Parents’ and Teachers' association, asking that the school board assist them in obtaining a standard moving picture machine, by agreeing to pay the extra insurance demanded. Mr. | Hatch said the insurance amounted to ten cents a §100. This will mean a cost of $73.20. Tt was further ex plained that this standard machine will permit of the use of all kinds of films, both fireproof and inflammable. Judge Gaffney thought socicties and cther organizations would seck to use the machine and if the board per mitted its installation it should have supervision. The matter was re- | tional | tional {to determine for {hind in trade training. Crops That Count One big crop counts much, year after year that brings in the money. rich and fertile, you must restore the food that crops take away— Good seed, good crops and good money are the results of using nature’s fertilizer of BONE, BLOOD and MEAT.

Superintendent Holmes briefly on his trip to Detroit last nionth, where he attended the na- convention of school superin: tendents held in connection with the annual convention of the National | Bducational association. He found the | experience profitable although it was [not the easiest week of the year. The great topics of the convention reported | were the problems of school survey. Ways were disc as to how it is possible to estimate the value of school work and put it on a more scientific basis. Regarding the sub- ject of : the Junior High school which corresponds to the prevoca- grammar school cpinions were expressed. Conservative opinion holds to the theory that it is undemocratic and hat it is not possible or right to seek pupils of grammar vocation they shall The other opinion held is quite opposite, those who favor_the new idea in education, mainfaining that it is democratic and that difference in power and ability should be recognized and an oppor- tunity given the pupil to develop his powers.
