Carter was showered with congratulations last evening and this morning as the re- sult of his victory at the polls yes- terday. During_ hig past term he has proven to be an efficient man for the position and has done a great deal for the town. He encountered - but little opposition at the caucus last month. Superintendent’s Report. In the following extracts from the report of 3. R. Showalter, school su- perintendent, the question of the school nurse is again disputed. Mr. Showalter disagrees with the local health officer inasmuch as he feels jthat Berlin should have a school nurse: “The past year has been marked by a number of epidemics and near epidemics in different schools. Impeti- 20, whooping cough, diphtheria and séarlet fever have been present to an unpleasant degree. They have brought increased interest in the pos- sibility of securing for Berlin the services of a school nurse. Such a nurse by frequent visitation and in- spection would be able to detect many incipient or suspicious, cases and to call attention of the parents to need for treatment by the family physi- clan. She would also play a part in the hygiene instruction as given in the schools. Through such inspec- tion of individual children as she would be qualified to make she would discover many physical conditions which need care and treatment by the family physician and call atten- tion of the parents to them. Where children are underweight—and our investigation has shown an alarming number who are,—she could take up the problem with the parents so that the condition would be remedied. “The number of towns and cities using school nurses is increasing rapidly throughout the country. Op- posed at first because it was difficult to see what good a school nurse could accomplish, the work they have done has had so marked effect that their use is being extended continually. In this state there are quite a few towns which are making use of school nurses, although no school physician is employed. It is desirable where the money is available to have both physician and nurse, but where funds are limited the nurse has been able to accomplish more, because of her purely public relation to the com- munity than a part-time physiclan could hope to do. “Where there are school nurses and physicians experfence has shown that the greatest good is accomplished by having them entirely subordinated to the school authorities. Only in this manner can they work with an eye single to the school health problem. The time is not ripe for the Town of Berlin, through its school commit- tee, to embark on this phase of the work. For this reason it is to be hoped that those Tesponsible for the movement to secure for Berlin a nurse to function as district and school nurse will push the enterprise to a successful conclusion. There is need for such a nurse. The health conditions which prevailed during the past year speak ecloquently of the need. The high percentage dren who arc distinctly underweight is an index of the physical condition of our children. The rapidity with which epidemics of children’s diseases of chil- | ———— spread among our children pot a physical condition below - memq among many of our children asyell as a need for a better understaning of common preventive meas-eg which a school nurse. could beer disseminate than any other agenc; ‘At the present time there is g movement on foot which may brg to-Berlin a nurse who would gie part of her time in the schools. Te project is most worthy. The ehs dren of Berlin, alone, are worth a it would cost. Evening School Opens The first session of tne | evemin school was held at the Kensingtod Grammar school last evening with a fairly good number in attendance.. All those who were expected in the con- tinuation class applied for applisation last evening although there were few nhames received from those intending: to enter the adult class. Miss Mary G. Costello of New Britain, 1ormerly a teacher in that city, has been employ- ed as the teacher in the adult class while Miss Sadie Hanblem, employed as a teacher at the Elihu Burritt Junior High school in New Britain will teach the continuation class.

HAVEN Independent Republicans Win New Town's Election New Haven, Oct. 4.—The election in the brand new town of West Haven yesterday witnessed the triumph of in- dependent republicans over the regu- lar organization in choice of first select- man, Frank D. Alling receiving 1653 votes to 1355 given John L. Sherman, the present incumbent and former member of the General Assembly. Her- man Collenberg, the democrat, received only 969, while the rest of his ticket was swamped as aside from first place by the independent and republican slates for town offices were identical. The fight against Sherman who had been nominated by a bare margin of less than a score over Alling ed on his alleged failure to carry out street, sewer and other improvements warranted by a very high tax rate. In East Haven the summer colony on the Momauguin shore again failed to capture a selectman, the uptown organ- jzation being too strong. The com- plaint of the shore residents had been that the town gave them nothing in the way of improvements. They have seen to the legislature for a borough charter but the town opposed them suc- cesstully, In the election at Plainfield, Sessions L. Adams, a former senator was de- feated as town clerk by William H, Buteau, democrat, an office he has held continuously since 1889. The town went democratic for the first time in a great many years, Henry Bessette was chosen first selectman. FOOTBALL CHALLENGE. ‘The Stratford A.
