Mr. Slade also,advised | the! the local authorities to consult program of the New Britain school system for studies, as some changes in them will be made that may benefit the Plainville pupils. In speaking of School Campaign,” Mr. the bills before the present legislature supported by the State Teachers’ committee and their meaning, One bill, “Support of the schools grant,” would benefit Plainville should ‘it be passed. The bill provides for the state the “Save Our to aid the schools in cities and towns; who have a grand list of more than two and one half millions. This town has one of more than four million. It means that the state will pay 15 per cent of the amount of teachers’ salar- ies appropriated towards the welfare of the schools. This would probably total some $800,000 additional a year. On the “Average attendance grant,” another bill before the assembly, an increase from $3 to $4 was asked. Another bill that was acted upon favorably was one that would provide ! for teachers who served three years to get a permanent position. It will} also mean that teachers who are tojf be discharged will have an opportuni- ty to present their point in the case before the state board of education. Mr. Slade spoke- briefly on, the change in the pension law for the teachers and its meaning. “The state has come to the point when it must aid the schools more, and help edu- cate the children who are to be our future citizens,”” said Mr. Slade. Mr. Slade presented a paper, that if signed by the leaders of the' Woman's | Reading clubs, and prfl—j and Bay View sented with others at the ‘legislature, would aid in getting over these bills that would help the schocls. The pa-! per was signedtby the secretaries and presidents of these clubs and .will be presented to the General Assembly. Grange 'Holds Social.
