DOSITION TOWARD H SCHOOL RISES Ragtable School Build- y Favored LOSES WHEEL on Worthington e in Names—News Interest—East Berlin Maports. There will be opposition to the es- tablishment of a Junior High school n Rerlin when the special town meet- ‘ne ealled for this evening convenes. fhis Information comes from a man srgminent in Kensington and well serded in school matters. The op- sosition comes from those who feel hat the town can not do justice to tselt In starting the school with the of $7,600 which has been asked 'or in appropriation. More opposition is expected to come tsem parents of pupils of High school eank and from the pupils themselves who feel that they will lose much in a new sohool in Berlin which they would gain at the well-established High school in New Britain. The parents of some of the pupils are to It because local authorities nt the High school established on imall scale. This, the parents feel, uld necessitate a change in the cur- Mum of the students when they ter the New Britain school and Might hinder them greatly. The call for the meeting tonight states that the Junior High achool groposition will be considered as well the Percival and Ledge school ditfons. The amount of $7.500 is to cover the cost of both tters, & portable building Is ex- yected to be 35,000 and the other im- wovements $2,600. The meeting Is one of the most im- jortant In the town in recent years Jecause it means a determined policy i the part of the town in its school fairs. At present there are at least ,200 children of school age in the n, an increase of 50 per cent. n the past elght years. The hool accommodations have not been ncreased greatly within that time. The Old Pond school, which for a time has been used for a maca- factory, is now vacant. The Old w” school offers room for two or three grades. Men desirous of fill- ing properly the wants of the schools ould favor the town's possession of hese fwo places and bullding a new puttdifig If & Junior High is to be tarted. 0(' man this morning asked why m could not bond itself and 't § bullding. which could be [dded 'to, to be used for the High thooj. This would mean the expen- ure of thousands of dollars but the laman 0 question feels that the own will have to have the bullding ooner orl later and it might as well Ve the it ean get for the pupils. The question of a curriculum also confronts locall people. This is more important now because the school in New Britain offers all kinds of courses under competent instructors, whereas the local school could not maintain various courses, and possibly would have to confine itself to an academic or commercial course. The question of teachers Is also important with the present demand for higher salaries and the added attractions of teaching in a large city. The school authorities and selectmen hope for a large attendance when the meeting opens at 8§ o'clock tonight. Large Crowd at Outing. Approximately 2,600 persons were in attendance at the fleld day held at the Berlin fair grounds on Saturday by the Mutual Aid association of the Landers, Frary & Clark company of New Britain. Special trolleys—were needed on the Berlin line during the afternoon and early evening. A dance was held in Foresters’ hall in the eve- ning, which was largely attended. There were several local young peo- ple listed in Lhe athletic contests of the afternoon. Mistake in Names. Of late there have heen several news items in reference to an alleged DiVivo-Conlon feud in Berlin and, due to a mistake in names, it has ap- Peared that one of the principals was Louis DiVive. It should have read Alfonse DiVivo, as Louis is a son and not implicated in the trouble. Ford Car in Accident. A Ford car owned by the Liggett, Myers Tobacco company came to grief on Worthington ridge, in front of Baratterio’s store about 6 o'clock last evening when the right hind wheel broke off. The car was not proceed- ing at a rapid rate of speed, which probably accounts for the escape of the driver from injuries. A New Ha- ven garage was called and a repair car sent to tpwn. The Ford was re- paired and left about 2 o'clock this morning. Porter's Condition Reported. The condition of Henry L. Porter, which was reported as critical in Sat- urday night's paper, was reported this morning as practically unchanged. Mr. Porter is in his 83rd year and hopes for his recovery are but slight.

S. Mar- shall W. R. Palmer of .the Connec- ticut delegation to the San Francis- co convention came home ahead of the rest and was here last night. To- day the marshal said that the Con- necticut delegation had an honest conviction that Homer S. Cummings would be an acceptable compromise candidate for the presidency and so it kept his name in the list. It had been figured that if the deadlock ‘continued a considerable longer time than it did a break would favor Mr. Cummings. When Palmer withdrew, however, Cox and McAdoo got the delegates and Cummings did not ben- efit as expected. Mr. Palmer said he was surprised that the convention gave so little at- tention to the Bourke Cockran reso- lution favoring light wines and beer. His opinion was that the delegates accepted prohibition as a fact and the Volstead law one to be enforced until congress changed it.
