The principal topic for fiscussion was the settlement of the late for the closing of the school term. Dn account of the prevalence of con- ! Wkious diseases at various times d Ative in order to comply with the law, lo extend the term further into the month of June than is generaHy nec- | ssary. It was finally decided to close 31 schools, with the exception of the | Worthington, on June 22. The: rthington school is to close on une 29. This arrangement was rec- mmended by State Supervisor of hools J. W. Dows. On account of the school being )iosed so long because of the smallpox jsuation Mr. Dows explained that the ahout to enter the High schoo! | EL.“ greatly handicapped =snd he recommended the exten- n of time for two weeks. But he taken into consideration thai ly of the children will be needed home and for this reason they have given the benefit of at least one My. Dows repqrted that the force of Jeachers for next year would remain pbout the same for next year. One jr two changes are expected to be inade In the Kensington Grammar yhool. Permission was granted to fhe pupils of the Beckley school to & part of the school ground. ¢ committee expresved much grati- at the action of the Beckley and hoped that children of schools could be induced to take ¥ape along the samis lnes. - “At the guggestion of W. W. Fagan, jomewhat simplified graduation exer- Mses were recommended, or perhaps eomdiration of graduation and the ned exercises that were to have held last month. This plan will worked out by J. W. Dows and Pme of the teachers and report made = the matter st a later date. X matter in regard to the teach- | od es was also taken up at the g and after some little discus- it was voted to recommend a t increase for all of the local ers but the increase is not as as the petition of the teachers | for. Just what action will be i by the teachers is not known are expected to express sat- over the proposed increase. Guard to Parade. tion has been extended to BRIG. GEN. CROWDER WHO PLANNED OUT DRAFT REGISTRATION ROVOS Mfiflslifll. GENEERL Preparations to register 10,000,000 young men on June § for military ser- | vice are proceeding swiftly throughout ; the country. Advices reaching the war department show that forty-two states have their machinery already ! established in county and city for each 30,000 population, that blanks and forms have been distributed and that nation wide machinery stands ready to take the military census in the shortest time ever allowed for such a huge undertaking—one twelve hour day. The plan was evolved by Brig- adier General CroWder, provost mar- shal general as well as judge advocate general of the army, and its efficiency, rests upon its simplicity. The scheme is to co-ordinate the vast electoral ma- chinery of every state under one cen- tral authority. At one step all local conditions are met in this way. take part in the flag raising exercises which will be held in East Berlin Saturday afternoon. Captain. G. C. Beckett has issued e request that all members ‘of the organizdtion report at the Town hall on Saturday after- noon at 1:16 o'clock and the com- pany will then hike to East Berlin. As there is to be no meetmg of the company until next week the captain wishes it umderstood that the news- paper announcement is official. It is hoped that most of the members will turn out Saturday as it is hoped to make an excellent showing. As there will be no meeting of the guard the men are asked ta report without voting on accepting the invitation. Lyceum Banquct Tonight, Indications point to a fine attend- ance at the annual banquet of the Kensington Men’s Lyceum, which will be held in the Congregational church this evening at 8 o'clock. Rev. John Coleman_Adams, pastor of the Church ot the Redeémer in Hartford, will be the chief speaker of the evening and his addreas will be on the “New Pa- triotlsm.” Otis J. Moore, also of Hartford, an agent of the Hartford County league will also be on hand to deliver an addrees on the “Food Supply.” Mr. Moore spends much of his time in going about the country and talking on this question. C. F. Lewis will act as toastmaster and is expected to call on eeveral of the members _for short talks. - Walter E. Hart will' render several’vocal selec- tions and .all will join in the chorus of the Star Spangled Banner. The Ladies’ Ald soclety of the church is in' charge of the banquet. The banquet hall was decorated with the nationdl colors by Mrs. George Green, Mrs. Ellen Moore and Mrs, F. H. Crane. All guests will find at their plate medals of honor which were secured by Miss Marjorie Moore, Detail to Use Tents. - Members of the Connecticut Na- tional Guard doing duty at the lacal railroad bridges will hereafter sleep in tents and the men were engaged this morning in erecting the shelters on the west side of the tracks north of the new' waiting room. Up to the present time some of the boys have been quartered in a - section house while the remainder were compelled ito sleep in the station waiting room. The tents will relieve the crowded conditions and quarter all of the men in the same place. Road Progressing. The Suzio Construction company, which is building the new concrete highway between Berlin and Merider is making excellent progress and al- ready ‘a section of the road has been opened to travel. The section opened by the company extends from the end of the concrete on Worthington ridge to the cross road which comes out near the Jarvis farm. The base and top Section has all been completed a little past the .Hollister farm and another quarter of a mile of road ls expected to he opened within a short time. The back road is reported as being in fair shape and many auto- ists use it rather than take the round- about way through Kensington and then south into Meriden- East Berlin Flag Raising. The residents of East Berlin, who have had charge the subscription paper for a new flag, report that the fund has been completed and the flag raising will take place on Saturday afternoon. Owing to the fact that the exercises are to take place Saturday afternoon those.in charge of the Me- morial Day plans have decided to hold the celebration planned for East Berlin on Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday. It was the wish of the East Berlin people that the exercises be combined. The parade will start at 2 o'clock and the exercise will be held in front of the soldlers’ mon- ument immediately following. All Sons of Veterans are requested to be present at the parade and exercises. Rev. C. A. Dodge, pastor of the East Berlin Methodist church, will deliver" the address of the day. Complete plans for the exercises will be an- nounced later. R. O. Clark is in charge of the flag raising. Sons of Veterans Meeting. The Berlin Sons of Veterans asso- clation will hold a meeting at the home of Philip Fagan on Thursday evening. This will be the final gath ering of the assoclation beforé the Memorial Day exercises and all mem- bers are requested to be present. The changed plans for the East Berlin exercises will be discussed and the members ins(rncted as to the part they will ‘take that afternoon. Berlin Briefs.

The estimate was made simply from a general knowledge of Plain- ville and its people, and while it may be found incorrect, it is generally be- lieved that the number registered will be close to 150. Selectman John- son has received his orders from the governor regarding the work to be done here on registration day. The selectman will serve with the town clerk and Registrars Newell and Cady as a registration board, and they will probably hold a continuous session in the Town hall from 7 o'clook in the morning until 9 in the evening on that date. ‘The services of an interpreter will probably be required, particularly for the Italian residents, as all men be- tween the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, will be required to register whether they are citizens of this country or not. There is considerable speculation as to how many of the 6,000 men which Connecticut will have to furnish to organize the first army of 500,000 men will come from Plainville. This of course cannot be determined until the details of the conacription methods are announced. Providing the towns are not given credit for their repre- sentatives in the national guard and the drafting is done according to pop- ulation,the general belief is that Plain- ville will be called on to furnish from twelve to twenty men for the first army. Out of the 150, which it is estimat- ed will have to register, it is not be- lleved that there are over fifty who will be determined ineligible for ser- vice because of dependents or through the fact that their present occupa- tion makes them more valuable to the nation than they would be in the army ranks. Physiclans estimate that but fifty per cent of the men otherwise eligible for service can’ pass the rigid physi- cal examination. Should the various estimates be correct, the number elig- ible for conscription on the first call would consequently be in the neigh- borhood of twenty-five, at least one- half of which would probably be called to the colors. Men making the estimates admit that their figures are purely the re- sult of guesswork and may be com- pletely upset when the returns are made by the registration board. The local authorities do not expect that any pressure will have to be brought to bear to make the young men of the town register, except per- haps in cases of foreigners, who do not understand the.president’s: proc- lamation and who may not believe that they will be compelled to in- clude their names in the list. Steps will probably be taken before registration day to inform them as to what is expected. The employers may be asked Lo communicate to them the requirements under the proclamation and in this manner it is belleved the law. will be explained to everyone, leaving no room for excuse from those who fail to report to the board on the day selected. Not Coshpulsory to Drill. Although they will remain members of the unit, men enlisted in the local company of the Home Guard, who have not been furnished with uni- forms and who have been designated as reservists, will not be compelled to report for drill in future. Those who wish to continue their military train- ing, however, will be given the op- portunity every Wednesday night when they will receive instructions from one of the commissioned officers of the active company. Heretofore all the members have terday afternoon.

Under the new arrangement the roll will not be called on Wednesday nights and the reservists who attend the drill will not do so under com- pulsion. Considerable interest is taken in military instruction even by the men, who because of their age or dutles as heads of families, were not.-put in the active company, and the Wednesday night adills are expected to attract many of them. ‘When the conscription measure goes into operation the uniformed company will probably lose some of its members who will be called into the service and their places will be filled from the list of reservists. School Teachers Plentiful. Members of the school committee report that they do not expect much trouble in filling whatever vacancies exist in the teaching force at the local schools when the Spring term is ended. Applications made by indi- viduals and through agencies indicate that there are plenty of teachers seek- ing positions this year. The local committee has concluded that all of the teachers at present em- Ployed, with the possible exception of four, and more likely three, will accept contracts to return next fall. The petition of the teachers for an increase in salary because of the high cost of living was granted last month by the board; and Principal Judd’s as- sistants, except for a few, immediately signified their willingness to make contracts for another year. Mrs. Harold L. Newell and Miss Johnson have advised the board that they will not return next year. Mrs. Newell does not wish a permanent position, although she has advised the board she is willing to substitute. Miss Johnson has accepted a position as teacher in Bristol, her home ocity. There is a possibility that one or two of the others will decide to go else- where in the fall. The staff will be kept practically intact, however, judging from the number who have already signed con- tracts. Two new teachers will be re- quired next year for the rooms in the addition now in course of erection. The board has sent contracts to three applicants for places, and even should four of the present instructors resign, the staff will be complete, in | the opinion of the committee when the | term closes. . l No Stranger to Sheriff. John Dyer, a traveling painter, ar- rested for intoxication Monday by Constable Marino, made a strong plea for leniency yesterday afternoon when arraigned before Justice Condell. He wore a humilated expression when he faced the court and claimed he felt badly over having been arrested, par- ticularly because of the fact that he had never before been in the clutches of the law. Justice €ondell was not inclined to place much confidence in his story, but he let him off with a fine of $§1 and costs. Dyer had spent all his money over the bar on the preceding day and he was unable to pay the assessment im- posed yesterday. As a result he was taken to Jail to work out the penalty. Despite the fact that he professed absolute ig- norance of court methods and denied acquaintance with jail authorities. Dyer was not unfamiliar with the of- ficlals at the Seyms street imstitution when he was brought there by the officer. He was greeted as an old- timer who had “done his bit” in the Jail on a number of occasions. Farm Hand Locked Up. Frank Rososco left the farm in Terryville on which he is employed yesterday, to go to Hartford to pur- chase his Spring suit.
