It is also proposed that the payment be based upon the average attendance of the year next preceding that for which the appro- priation was made. The average attendance in Berlin schools for last year was 746 pupils. With the passage of the new bill the town would receive $2,984. It s thought that the average attendance Yor the present school year will be about 800 pupils. This would increase the amount to be received to $3,200. klll’ye_over $8,000 from the state and, |'fddging from the f§nancial conditions of the town could Teadily be used. There Is a great question in the minds of local people interested in the bills as to whether or not they will be passed inasmuch as the $75,- 000 granted for the new normal school in New Britain is expected to kill the bill, Everything possible will be done by citizens interested to have the bill pass the house and local people are asked to write to representatives or senators they know to use their in- | fluence. Town Does Not Rank High. The town of Berlin does not rank high in the state in regard to financ- ial conditions but on the other hand is in the number of children. is due, it is said, to the | suburban relations of New Britain, | Meriden, Hartford and Middletown. Many people living in Berlin, Kens- | ington and East Berlin work in the ! above mentioned cities but their chil- | dren attend local schools. In the ma- | Jority of the cases the families are large. | very high | The latter Housing Facilities. l Another condition which facecs the | local school board is the question of housing facilities for the teachers. It undoubtedly true that fhe number HER BEAU In all the town of Berlin would get a | of pupils will increase the coming year, and if so some new teachers must be employed. When school hegan this last fall many of the teach- ers could not find suitable places to board and room, and as it is today many are rooming in one place and boarding in another. Other towns and cities throughout the state make an attempt to give the teachers satisfac- tory homes and thereby are better capable of keeping the teachers there. Many of the teachers in the Berlin schools live in New Britain. There are approximatcly 1,500 chil- dren in Berlin and the grand list of the town is little over $4,000,000, Wwhich means that $2,800 is the tax- able wealth per child enumeration.
