Following the talk by Mr 4 talk on the pressmg school prob lem in Berlin given by B. R. Showalter, superintendent of schools. In the course of his remarks, Mr. ! Showalter brought out the fact that Berlin stands 53 in population | among the 168 cities and towns in the state of Connecticut. In the num ber of children Berlin stands 50. stands 49 in number of children en- rolled in school, and 51 on basis of children in average daily attendance. These facts show that so far as popu- lation is a standard, Berlin is normal in the matter of number of children ! and their relation to the school. Shortage of Teachers. While Berlin stands 49 in the num- ber of children enrolled in the schools, the rank in rumber of teachers em ployed is 61.5. This is marked evi- dence of the fact proven elsewhere, that there are not enough teachers | in Berlin. Berlin is wealthier in peo- ple than in this world’s goods, if tha rank of 76 on the basis of the grand list fs accepted as trrue.

The melodies by the Kens- ington school chorus were followed by a demonstration of the physical training work of the schools, staged )y the Hubbard school.
