BERLIN NEWS BERLIN WILL NEED MORE SCHOOL ROOM When Doors of Institute Are Opened in the Fall YEAR CALENDAR ANNOUNCED School Committee Has Lively Session at Mecting in Town Hall Last Night —Lawn Festival Thursday—Court Notes—BEerlin Items of Interest. The most important problem which came up for discussion at the meeting of the Ferlin schcol board last eve- ning was that of housing the children in the Berlin public schools. By lim- iting the beginners who will be six years of age when school opens there will be a minimum of 1,020 children to enter the local schools in the fall. Of this number 122 will go to the Hubbard school, 84 Selden, 144 Worthington, 51 South, 30 Blua Hills, 66 Fercival, 66 Ledge, 297 Ken- sington and 155 to the Junior High school. This does not include the 60 who will attend high school in either New Britain, Meriden or Mid- dietown. The most difficult problem will be how to house the children at the Kensington school. There are 452 pupils in the Junior Hig and-Ken- sington. The Junior High school will occupy five rooms of ‘the building which leaves seven for the Kensing- ton Grammar which will have 300 pupils. ‘This will leave an average of 45 pupils to a room and a single teacher w h is altogether too many, is the opinion of the board and school officials. Especially it is too large a numHer for the Kensington school in view of the fact that so many for- cigners attend and it is necessary for a teacher to give more individual in- struction. Thae board at its three alternatives in problem. None, however, were acted upon. They are: (1) Erect another two room portable building. would contemplate abandoning of the hasement rooms. (2) Se 1* possible, some vacant store in town to fix up a room and use tempor- arily. (3) To have double with one class attending in the morn- ing and another in the afternoon. All three are being considered by the board. meeting chosa solving the Need New Building. Members o! tha b rd, however, feel that a new building is the only real solution to the problem. When 0 AN WAINLE NF BRIA BANKRUPT SALE | STARTS FRIDAY, © JULY 22. WATCH THURSDAY’S PAPER FOR \ the Kensington school was first built it was left so that an 8-room addi- txon coulq be built to it on the east e. The board feeis that this would probabl» be the best thing to do and although the members realize that the financial and building conditions of today are not at the best, they claim that such action will be neces- for the opening of school in 1922. If an eight room addition was built it could be easily filled as at the present time here is one portable school with two rooms being used, two basement rooms (which the state board of education disapproves of) and the Ledge school which is only being used temporarily, all of which Wwould be abandoned for the new building. The construction of the building can in no way be avoided by the fall of 1922, according to members. If the residents are to look into the future of the town they can easily realize the nccessity of such a build- ing. In Kensington proper, there are 12 new homes being built not to mention the several going up on what was formerly the Berlin fair grounds.| Beyond a doubt several new families will move into town and will have children to send to school. Will Open Room. Favorable action was taken last night on the motion to open the fourth room at the Worthington school on Berlin street. This room has been closed during the past year. This will cause the children on Christian Lane past Jacob’s corner to attend the Worthington school in- stead of the Kensington which they, have been doing for some time. The lack of room at the Kensington Grammar school is given as the rea- son: for opening this extra room in Berlin. Board on Repairs. The board acted on the report of the building committee which was authoried to go ahead with the re- pair list submitted. The Hubbard school was reported to be in excel- lent condition while the Worthington and South schools were in good con- dition. The Worthington school will be repainted while the Kensington school will be entirely repainted on the inside. This will also include the portable building on the school. The most extensive repairs will be made at the Percival school. As the school stands at present it has one large rooms, two small ones, a sup- ply room and a hall. All of the par- titions will be ripped out and the in- terior of the building changed so that it will contain two large school rooms. Electric lights will also be installed at this school. The report for the building committee was made by John McKeon and that on the housing condition and the distribu- tion of children by Lester Deming. Six Year Old Question. was also voted at the meeting last night that children who will 6 years oid by the end of the first term, January 1, would be admitted to the t grade. School Calendar Adopted. The school calendar for the 1921- 1922 season was adopted and is as follow: Fall term—Wednesday, ber 9, 1921, ay, December 23, 1921. 1 vi October con- vention.

Plainville now has two pastorates to be filled, one at the Congregational Church and one at the church. The pastorate at the Congregation- al church has been vacant for some months or since the resignation of Rev. E. C. Gillette who accepted a pastorate in Florida. Since that time the pulpit has been filled on Sunday by various ministers called by the committee appointed to supply the preachers. As far as is known no one has as yet been called to the local church although several names are reported under consideration. Dur- ing the summer it is usual to have visiting ministers preach and it is improbable that a definite pastor will be named for some weeks yet. The local church is known to be looking for an active man who will be able to fill tho place of Mr. Gillette. Rev. R. H. Burton will leave the pastorate of the Episcopal church on August 1. He has been here for many years and it is with regret that mem- bers of his congregation have heard of his resignation. He goes to a bigger and more responsible field at the head of the diocese in Hartford and will be connected with the bishop in the work of tha church through- out the state. The Episcopal church here is in fine condition. Bishop Brewster visited here last Sunday and was well pleased with conditions. The vestrymen of tne church have conferred on appointing a new ps tor,but as yet no definite action has beén taken. It is the desire of Mr. Burton that his place be filled, if pos- sible, by the first of the month as he would like to be able to devote him- self entirely to his new position after a vacation of perhaps a month. In the ministerial neld there is a shortage of men noted by the various churches throughout the state which have been placed in positions where calls for pastors have been necessary. It is not known whether this is the condition confronting the local churches or not. New Britain Road Repairs Repairs of a minor nature are being bade on the highway to New Brtain Britain. The work being done now consists in filling in the deeper ruts with crushed stone and tar. This will afford at least a little relief from the conditions which have existed for months. The highway between this town and New Britain has been in ter- rible condition for months. Its condi- tion has been allowed to deteriorate for the past two or more years so that the true remedy is a new highway at the present time so engineers claim. Autoists using the road have entered all kinds of complaints but no changes have come about. There is a section near Farmington avenWe and Cook’s and immediately in front of the stone quarries which are the worst spots on the road. The section running east from the center of this town for about a mile and a strip of over a mile from Black Rock bridge in New Britain are semi-new and in fair condition. Better Trolley Service Plainville has been getting better trolley service for weeks past than it has had in years. The old delays in waiting for the Meriden cars and then again in sitting waiting for signal lights to"be turned seem to have been eliminated. The new system calls for the turning of cars in New Britain at Central Square. This permits of several minutes leeway as the cars formerly ran down Arch street and consumed time in the journey. The quarter after and half past cars now reach Trum- bull's light to meet the other cars in- stead of waiting at Sharpe’s station. This gives extra time, for waiting, to the center of the town where it js appreciated by patrons. It is also noticeable that there is much better accommodation in connections with the Bristol trolleys, There is much sat trolleys in this town. Although the 10 cent fare was opposed locally, the patrons realize that it is not excessive for a five mile ride. Plainville had some of the first of the state’s experi- fences with the jitneys and found that they ran when and where they wanted o. They monopolized the Bristol high- way new but ignored the old worn New Britain road. Episcopal ction with the Installation of Officers. Officers of the local Odd Fellows will be installed at a regular meeting to be held in I O. O. F. hall tomor- row night by District Deputy Grand Marshall Lester J. Root of Bristol. Refreshments and a social will fol- low the installation. Officers of the Knights of Pythias will be installed in office at the reg- ular meeting of the organization in I. O. O. F. hall on Friday night. Gardens Profitable, Many local men took up gardening in' earnest this year because of the shortage of work and money. They are now reaping the beneits of their labor and the sales of fresh vege- tables are noticeably less than usual Peas, string peans, lettuce, beets, an the other, early market garden prod- ucts are in abundance in town. The families of the various men have taken interest in the gardens and done their share of work in them. Most of the gardens were smaller this year than in the past due to the fact that the usual allotments of property for use for municipal gar- dens was discontinued. The Allen tract on East street is the only larze plot being used in that manner this year. Going to the Circus. The stores are closed this after- noon and business will not be brisk.

Randolph of Sharon, to obtain the ransom in a note addressed to his wife at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Fogel, Sharon. Police said today that Randolph, accompanied by a man and a woman had left Franklin after he had called his wife on a telephone this morning and said that he was going to Erie, Pa., where he would board a steamer for Cleveland.
