Porter, then a young ‘man, left his fiace of employment here and, with ome other local young men, enlisted in the 16th Connecticut infantry as a volunteer for service. He saw active pervice until the battle of Antietam Creok when his right shoulder was nearly shot away and he was taken prisoner by the Confederates. He was Teld prisoner about a week when he was sent back to be cared for in a northern hospital. He was laid up six months In the hospital.

M. Griswold Arthur L. | Woodrufr acted as clerk of the meet- ing. Although the appropriation voted. there was opposition to it as was reported last night. ‘The opposi- tion came from the conservative ele ment composed of businessmen of tho town who felt the establishment ot a Junior high school and an appropria tion for the same were matters of great importance and worthy of very careful consideration. Their objec tions were overruled and the meetin voted in favor of establishing a junior high school The action of the meeting last night means that Berlin has taken a step which is either beneficial or disas- trous and those thinking it beneficinl were net in the majority, according to one citizen, but the sentiment of the meating became keyed up to a desité for a high school in the town. It was reported at the meeting that the upper floor of the = Kensington Grammar school may be used for the high sehool while the new portabla was bullding to be purchased will be used | for lower grades of school The vote in favor of establishing the junior high school was unanimc It means that the children now ready to enter high school will attend the Berlin High school rather than that of New Britain, It does not mean, however, tRat the pupils now ¥n the New Rritaifl school will change back to Berlin. Any such move as that was blocked by Superintendent of Schools B. R, Schowalter, who told the persons in dftendance that such the Grammar Percival | action would be disastrous to the Ppils affected. Thoughts About the Meeting. The High school was voted for and its establishment is determined upon, The question now arises as to the courses of study and the curriculum which will be used There also arises the question, “Will New Britain accept pupils into third or fourth Year from the Berlin High school”" The cost of transportation figured in the high costs of sending the pupils to New Britain, but eome prominent citizen pointed out thls morning that trolley fare will ‘have to be paid by the pupils who live in st Berlin and Berlin as the school will be lo- cated in Kensington. The matter of books must he con- sidered-—as to whether the pupils will buy their own books as in New Brit- ain or whether they shall be fur- nished by the town. There also re- pu- | mains the hiring of teachers efficient and well-trained in the high school grade. T'heir salaries and other in- cidentals must also be considered. These items were pointed out to tha reporter this morning by a man who did not oppose the starting of a new school but who wanted the voters to think on the matter more serlously before taking action.
