While driving his jitney bus from the fair grounds to New Britain yes- terday afternoon, Arthur Rick of this town, struck Mary Cacolla about 14 vears of age, of 405 South street, New | Britain, as she darted from the rear of an ice wagon into the path of the machine. The girl suffered a scalp wound and a fractured wrist. She was rushed to the New Britain Gen- eral hospital by Mr. Rick. There were five passengers in the car at the time of the accident and all were unanimous that Mr. Rick should be ahsolved from all liability as the ac- cident was unavoidable. Hackett to the Rescue. What is believed to have been a trick of pickpockets to work on a crowd of spectators at the Berlin fair { grounds was nipped In the bud yes- terday action of Constable John J. Hackett, {who is doing duty at the grounds. It is said that a young man threw himself into a fit and when a large of curious onlookers gathered ! crowd his companions endeavored to work , through the pockets of the throng as : they were jammed together.

It was persistently rumored this morning about that the city of New Britain, through a New Brit- ain real estate agent, had. secured an option on the farm of Willard I. Alling in Kensington. As. Mr. Alling could not be located today this report could not be confirmed. The city of ng the Alling place a few vears ago for a park. Although the money was ap- propriated for the purpose no pur- chase was made. It is also reported that a’ party of real estate agents from New Haven visited the Alling farm this week with | the view of purchasing it for the pur- | pose of developing it for real estate This also could not be con- the town { 1o firmed. Biggest Day Expected. Officials of the Berlin State fair pre- | dicted this morning that today’s at- would break all records of | previous years. Orowds began to assemble at the grounds early this morning and early in the forenoon the trolleys bound towards the grounds were loaded with passengers. This | being governor's day, extra provisions have been made to handle the crowd. Reglistrars in Session. Registrars Joseph J. Morse of East Berlin and James E. Corr of Kensing- ton were in session at the town clerk’s tendance office this morning for thg purpose of receiving names of those persons who claim they are entitled to be made vo- ters of the town. Few names were handed in this morning, but the regis- trars expected a large number before flve o’clock this afternoon at which time their session will close. Due to the Intense interest in politics this fall, records for registering are ex- pected to be broken. Operation Successful. The many friends of Miss Alice Starr, of Hudson street, who was op- erated on last Saturday at the New Britain General hospital for an abscess in her left ear, will be pleased to learn that the operation was successful and that she returned to her' home this | afternoon. Dr. T. C. Hodgson of East | Berlin and Dr. J. H. Potts of New Britain performed the delicate opera- tion. Football Team to Practice. ‘With the call for college elevens all over the country having been issued for fall practice, Manager James | Cormick of the Acorn football team | has decided that it is about time that his proteges were practicing and has therefore issued a call for candidates. Practice will be held on Sunday at McCormick’s lot. Manager McCor- | mick announces that he has already | secured games with some of the best team In the state and that as soon as his team is rounded into condition the residents will be furnished with some fine exhibitions of football. Last year the Acorns had a wonder- ful machine, defeating some of the fastest teams in the state. Tt is ex- pected that this year's eleven will up- hold the eviable record made in the past, if not surpassing it. Berlin Briefs. Mrs. W. W. Brackett of Worthing- ton Ridge is entertaining Mrs. BE. A.

The belief pr vailed this morning that Mr. Rogers =iz be named probably on the first | ballot, and the result will show his nomination to be practically unop- The session will be called to order at | 3 o'clogk by Charles T. Treadway of Bristol, the district’s representative on the state central committee. While Claude W. Stevens of Berlin has been reported to be in a receptive mood, the only active candidates for the honor have been Mr. Rogers and A. H. Condell. The latter will of course | have the support of John B. Minor and Frank T. Wheeler, the two Plain- | ville delegates and may get one or two complimentary votes from other places if he remains in the race until the bal- lot is taken. A solid Rogers delegation from Southington will attend the conven- tion. Bristol’s representatives are also said to be sewed up for the Southing- ton man. Mr. Rogers withdrew from the fight two years ago, permitting the | nomination of Martin Pierson of Bris- tol, and it was said at the time that he was promised the place this year. The convention will also draw up | resolutions endorsing the administra- | tion of Governor Holcomb and flaying the actions of President Wilson and his Democrdtic followers in Congress. Caucus Tonight. The ticket to be submitted for the approval of the voters at the October election by the Republicas will be made up at a party caucus to be held tonight in the Town hall. There is ap- parently but little interest in the ses- sion, as there do not seem to be con- tests over any of the offices. " First Selectman W. J. Johnson’s re- nomination, probably by acclamation, | is conceded. Other Republican office | holders will probably fare similarly i Edwin H. Hills, chairman of the | town committee, will call the caucus to order. Pupil Costs Town $20.88. That the actual cost to the town of educating each pupil in the public | schools was §20.88 for the past year, is the information contained in the re- port of L. S. Mills, as assistant acting school visitor. The expense of teach- ing the children totals $26.30 for the year, but a part of it is borne by the state. Mr. Mills' figures show that the costs of schools in Plainville is rea- sonably low when compared with that of other places. | Holidays for the children on stormy | days are liable to be a rare occurrence this year, Mr. Mills reporting that the school board has decided to have reg- ular sessions in grades from three to eight, irrespective of the weather. The report follows: To the Plainville Town School Com- mittee: Gentemen—We have sixteen teach- | ing positions in our school, thirteen | rooms, and 625 pupils, an educational | plant equal in size to many manufac- | {uring plants. It has been the aim of | the committee ta run this plant on an | an efficient business basis, both with yespect to care and management of the building and the organization and direction of class room work. Hence repairs have been made and new material or new teachers secured whenever it has seemed for the| best productlve Interest of the | school. On the other hand sev-| cral of our teachers have secured since & year ago, better paying posi- | ticns. This has been our loss and the teachers’ committee has done its best | to secure as capable teachers as pos- | sible for vacant places. Their work | will be earnestly observed during the | coming year. The greatest problem laoking to- | ward success is to secure the right teacher for each respective grade. i Our schools are now organized on | an eight year basis with the kinder- garten below the first grade, hence for | most pupils the school still has nine | grades. However, beginning in Qeto- | DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER | 1916-17. | this | much for | to do. | ration with those from other | ents, | school year, | of Hartford and Miss Lucy 14, 1anufacturing work which has come to Plainville, will be increased during Mi Al No; | of Not including High school pupils the total average cost per pupil in av- erage attendance for Plainville for the past year was approXimately In Avon this same cost was per pupil and in Farmington 48 per pupil, the average cost in the state is $35.80 per pupil. From it will be seen that the cost of schools in Plainville is reasonabe. This cost of $26.30 per pupil in aver- i e attendance is reduced to the town by the state grants so that the actual cest per pupil to the town is $20.%2. Our schaol has a definite course of study, we employ only trained teach- | nu €rs, and we insist that the registers be | ing gally kept. We offer the opportun- | Ce ity of completing the work in eight | vears. Music and drawing is well | ught. From the fact that th one pupils were graduated from sgrade 8 Jast June and fifty-four promoted from grade 7 to grade 8 there is proof that our schools are retaining the pu- pils.
