Uncle Sam has made a draft on the school board of the city of New Bri tain to furnish two teachers for ord- nance plant schools. Supt. of Schools Stanley H. Holmes is in receipt of a communication from F. C. Butler in charge of the community organization branch of the industrial service sec- tion of the ordnance department and more directly from W. G. Coburn, di- rector of the schools, in which the matter is explained. The government plans to open schools on the varlous reservations where munitions are be- ing manufactured as some of the em- ployes are married and parents hav- ing children will continue in such work only in communities where good schooling is provided. Uncle Sam expects to open over 20 schools which will have an enrollment of about 15 - 000 children at an early date Two teachers from the kindergart- en, primary or grammar grade are wantéd. Teachers should be those women willing to work and who are imbued with patriotic spirit of wil- lingness to help the government dur- ing the war time. The government would have the school board agree that any teachers volunteering for this work should return to New Britain at the close of the work. Teachers employed in this work ¢ having ordinary training will be com- pensated at the rate of $80 monthly for teachers of one year experience and an ificrease of $6 monthly accord ing to each vear of experience, so that five years' experience receive $104 monthly. The scale for teachers with exteptional training is based on an increase of $12 every year commencing with $92 monthly and up to $140 monthly for teachers of five years' experience.
