H.S. School Board Finds Such Acticn Nec- essary Because of Increase in Scholars—dJunior High Class Day Friday—Notes About Town. | The extension committee of the school board was authorized, at a meeting of the latter board held last evening, toMgo ahead and secure op- tions on sites to he recommended to the town for a new Junior-Senior High school. This recommendation was made following a report that the extension committee feit that an en- tire new building would be preferable instead of the proposed addition to the Kensington Grammar school. The above announcement has caused a considerable amount of in- terest in town inasmuch as the ex- tension committee has been working “in the dark' for the past few weeks and no public announcements have; been forthcoming about their work. It is said that only a careful study on the part of the extension commit- tee has caused them to make this recommendation in view of that fact that it will be a saving to the town through the maintenance of such a school instead of paying constantly in- creasing tuition rates in out of town Senior High schools which, it is said, would entirely* finance the expense of erecting a. new school. An effort was made to determine where the new site wouid be located but persons interested in the subject| are not inclined to talk on that part| of the program. It is expected, how-( ever, that the new building, if voted: for at a special town mecting, woulg be erected in Kensington. 1 Part Time For J. H. 8. In discussing the plans in reference to the Junior High school in Kensing- ton, it was disclosed that to date there are between 200 and 220 pupils reg- istered to enter that school next year. This number does not include the sev- enth grade pupils from the Blue Hills, Worthington, South, Selden or Hub- rard schools. If these children were | included there would be a total of | over 280 pupils. Because of the fact that there are only four large rooms and one small room available for use at the school, it has been found necessary by the| school authorities to have the Junior | High school go on part time next year. & By this it is meant that some of the puplls will attend early morning ses- sions at the school and others will at-! tend later sessions. The plan will not interfere with the curriculum of the school, the superintendent explained, but the children will be obliged to prepare some of their studies outside of school hours. This is done in all of the towns and cities where it is rfound necessary to go on part time schedules.

W Mi " the chautaugua from July 4 to July 7, inclusive, It w the feeling of the however, that steps should be by the association by proper ing to prevent disorders which tended the chautauqua last year. is claimed by the officials that disorders were caused by the boys and not the younger ones. Middletown Letter. communication from the school in Middietown was read which stated that beginning next year the tuition rates would be increased to $120 a year per pupil. At a previous meeting a report was read stating that the New DBritain tuition would be increased next year, Bills to the amount of §230 ordered paid by the board. Resignatzon Accepted. resignation of Mis Nellie Keena, principal of the elementary grades at the Kensington school, was accepted with regrets. Miss Keena is the penmanship teacher whose work has been praised by the Palmer method of writing. Will Transfer Pupils. | A resolution was pa 1 calling for the transtering of the upper grade pupils from the South school to the Worthington school the beginning of the fall sessio This is in line with the former policy of the school “‘hmmiflt'-* for a good many years. The supper grade children formerly attended the Worth- ington school until the unumber of pupils at the South school became so small that the children were sent back again. At present there are two teachers at the school with only 25 pupils en- rolled. It is claimed that the Worth ington school can care for the upper grade children of the South school with the same number of teachers| now employed and in this way it is possibie to reduce the number of teachers by one. Saving to Town. his saving to the town as it} eliminates the salary of one teacher for a year as well as the extra ex- pense which is incurred in the main- | tenance of an extra room at the South school.
