BERLIN NEWS SGHOOL ATTENDANCE HAS RAPID GROWTH Committee Coniraited With Housing Problems NEW YORK T0TS ARE HERE Children Will Arrive This Afternoon —Possible That Town May Have a Health Campaign—Items. The increase in the number of pu- pils in the public schools of the town of Berlin has again become the main topic of conversation among the resi- dents. “Where shall tho children be Put?” is the question which confronts the Rerlin town school committee at the present time. In 1918 there was an average daily attendance of 671 childrer and in 1921 the average was 886 which is an increase of 33 per cent. The average _registration in 1918 was 728. In 191 it was 1017, an increase of 33 per cent. In 1918, 825 different children attended the schools during the year. 1In 1921, there were 1172 children registered, Wwhich was an increase of 35 per cent. In 1922, the increase will undoubted- ly continue and the committee plans that accomodations must be furnish- ed for at least 60 more children. Many houses are being built in Ken- sington and at ths old Berlin fair grounds. This meaas a further in- crease in school por-wiation for 1922. Superintendent Showalter has hous- ed the increase as best he can under the present circums:ances. In Kast Berlin a fourth room was opened in 1920. This took care of the growth there, but meant 2 crowding of the classes for 1921. The eight grade was sent to the:Junior high school, thereby reducing the classes to the capacity of the roon In Beckley, the school has been overcrowded for 1921. This wag dua to the accession of 20 children who had attended the Smith school in New Britain. For 1922, two teachers will have $8 children in seven different grades. It is claimed that it is im- possible to do the best work under such conditions. In this school there is but one home represented where the children hear the English lan- guage spoken. At the Worthington school on Ber- lin street the fourth room will be opened this fall to care for the chil- dren from Christian Lane, who have been attending the Kensington school. This will give each teacher an aver- age of 36 children vo teach, unless there are unforseen accessions. Thi ias said to be the limit for effective work. 1In the Kensington district it has been necessary to reopen district ‘Be Slender is now. ire to i rs.

New Building Needed While the war was on, and during the period of inflation which followed the war, the above mentioned meas- ures were justified. Now that they are past Berlin must face the prob- lem of a new building at Kensington. The Kensington school was designed to make possible an 8 or 10 room addition at a later date. This should be built next year, according to school authorities, to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1922. This will permit the closing of the Ledge school, the abandonment of the basement rooms at Kensington, and the use of the portable byilding at some other point of congestion. a few years. It isalso thought likely that after a few vears it will be found necessary to erect a buil®ting for the Junior High)school. Probably it is not known that about 68 per cent. of the chil- dren attending the Berlin public schools are of foreign blood. Unless accommodations are made soon these foreign children will not the American ideas as be taught. New York Tots Here The fifteen children brought to Berlin under the auspices of a New York newspaper will arrive in town this afternoon at 4 o'clock. They will be met at the depot by a dele- ion from club, to all be they taught should the Berlin Motherhood this organization being sponsible for them while they are in town. From the depot they will be taken to the homes of the various people who have promised to take care care of them during their stay. The escort who will accompany the children to this town will be enter- tained over night by the committee in charge of the affair. A committee has been appointed to make plans for an outing and picnic to be given the children during their stay. Mrs. Boardman of Berlin is at the head of this committee. Other parties and social events will also be given at the various homes in which the children will be placed. re- Possible Health Campaign. It is possible that a health cam- aign may be conducted throughout ‘he town of Berlin if plans of a few srominent citizens materialize. Flie ind mosquitoes will be the principa nsects to be fought, but it is alsc oMnned to better, the health of the hildren and to give them better nour- ishment. Few people in the town o Serlin realize that a large percentig« »f the school children are under weight. This problem however wili probably be bettered when the public aurse is installed in the schools next fall. The garbage is not collected, but i 1sually buried. There are many case: »f negligence, especially in the mor less thickly populated section Here the houses are close togethe ind due to the fact that garbage i 10t carefully disposed of, flies breecd in large numbers.

WEDN PLAINVILLE NEWS MYSTERY SHROUDS VANISHED LIQUOR Startling Discovery of Shortage ol Confiscated “Hooch” McNALLY GARAGE ROBBED Opportunity For Local Nurses to Study At College—Ministdrs' Asso- clation Adopt Resolution for Rev. R. H. Burton—Other Notes, Hist! The “ghost”” the “Hooch ghost,” of Plainville, has commenced its nightly walk amongst the rafter: in the Town Hall again. Last Febra- ary, its apparent existence was discov- ered when two lar gallon jugs of confiscated booze wis missing from the vault in the town hali and later found empty of their contents and re- posing gently from a rafter in the basement of the building. Now it ap- pears that its thirst must be quenched again as a large quantity of tyf “joy fluid” is missing from its resting plac. in the cells of the town hall in which it had been placed following a. raid on several stores and private stills in the town and vicinity of Mountain View. Last May, Constable John Conlin, with State Officer Flynn, swooped down upon persons at Mountain View and secured some stills containing the liquor. It was hidden, that is, it was locked in one of the cells in the town hall, far from the clutches of any onc desiring a taste of the delicious fluid The cell could not be entered by any one but representatives of the law of the town of Plainville. Of these there were seven. Seven keys can open the hugh iron barred doors. Others are useless. | Whiting street. Monday afternoon, Constable Con- lin arrested five lads and prepared to put them in the ““cooler.” One of the cells, however, was filled with the stills and liquor therein. They must be removed decided the constable. He went to open the lock. Lo! and be- aold! There was the lock, a great big 7ale lock, turned upside down and in in entirely different position than vhen first placed there. He deducted that someone had entered the cell Quickly reaching for the space be- reath the cot for the hootch contain- 'rs, he was terrified to find them near- v empty. Constable Conlin had been await- ing an order from the judge of the town to destroy the contents of the itills. The order however, had been lelayed and it appears that during he lapse of time, someone took ad- vantage of the poor resistance of the lock and swooped down upon the un- suspecting booze. Several visits had »een made according to Constable Conlin, by the person indulging in he hootch, as the lock had been tound turned upside down every time in investigation of the cell was made vhich apparently proves the person made a habit of using a method of his own of inserting locks in the cell loor. An order will undoubtedly be forth- coming from the judge today to im- nediately destroy the troublesome Zo0ds that the “ghost” may walk no more. McNally Garage Entered. Thieves entered the McNally garage on Whiting street some time after 12 reclock last night and early this morn- ing and after a diligant search of the place, made away with two automo- bile tires and a motor meter. George Bloodgood, proprietor of the garage, on entering the place this I'morning, tound the front door lock had been broken. A quick investigation of the interior of the building showed that two cars had been relieved of each a tire. One car was the property of C. W. Paametier of 65 Maple street, and the other one belonged to James Mc- Nally. The motor meter had been re- moved from the auto of Richard Dyer. Nothing else had been stolen and it appears that the burglar or burglars knew what they wanted-and appar. ontly took ther time in doing this work. This section is not patrolled by the night officer as his beat ends about near the Rogers Bakery on This afforded the robbers plenty of opportunity to work unmolested. The authorities will make n investigation. Opportunity For Nurses. Miss Elizabeth Heineman, Visiting nurse here, is in receipt of a letter from Miss Helen Boyd, superin- tendent of the Bridgeport Visiting Nurses Station in regard to oppor- tunities offered nurses for further study of the medical science. The let- ter will be posted in the post office. Tta contents explain that a scholar- ship in the public health and nursing study” at Columbia University, will be awarded the best gualified nurse who has at least a high school diploma or one equivalent to that. A’slight sum will cover the expenses of tuition and books with the persons own ex- penses.
