Berlin News BN HOUSING PROBLE IN TON SCHOOLS Lester Deming Speaks at Parents and Teachers' Meeting MEETING OF FORESTERS Membership of Foresters Increasing Rapidly—Meeting of Honor Roll Committee This Evening—Basket- ball News—Other Items, Lester Deming, chairman of the Berlin school board, in a talk to mem- bers of the Parents and Teachers' as- sociation of the Kensington Gram- mar sehool last evening, emphasized the need for proper housing of the pupils in the schools. He said that the schools are far too inadequate to handle the number of children attending them. The Junior High school is working on a double shift, a state of affairs which is not approved by anyone. * Indications are that next seven new rooms will be needed to house the increase in attendance. It was pointed out that in one of the classes 49 children are registered and in one school, with two teachers, there are seven grades to be taught, 83 children attending. It is expected that the registration of that school will in- crease to 90 next year. All the grades average 40 or more children. This is a large number, said, the chairman, for the successful instruction of the children. The teachers -are working too hard, he said. The superintendent and the princi- pal of the Junior High school have been instructed to arrange a continu- ous double session at that school if it be possible. It is hoped that this can bLe done in view of the fact that 13 children have moved away, four are in trade school and nine have taken out working papers. With the 26 children out of the school there is just one seat for each pupil. Every room is in use every period and one of them 1s a0 small that it wil) not hold a large class. B, R. Showalter, superintendent of schools, he urged the co-operation of the pavrents at this trying «tme.. He also urged parents to visit the schools,| declaring that it ts their duty to comejand see what is going on. M Have You Piles? Then You Have Something to Learn year Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent re- lief can only pe accomplished with internal ‘medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with ointments and suppositories will re- move the cause. Bad circulation causes piles. There is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. 8. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His pre- seription, HEM-ROID, is now sold by all druggists. Dr Leonhardt tried it in 1,000 cases with the marvelous record of success in 98 per cent. and then decided it should be sold under a rigid money-back guarantee. Don't waste any more time with An excellent exhibition of school work was presented at the meeting, the work of classes without any prun- ing being shown. Following the talks by the chairman and the superinten- dent refreshments were served and an entertainment provided.

No. 1 was called out by an alarm on the Bristol Mfg. Co. whistle at 8:30 o'clock last evening to the Fome of Noah Dean on West Broad street. A chimney fire was in pro- gress, but it took the firemen only a few minutes to extinguish the blaze. No damage was done. A large crowd of adults was drawn to the the fire house when the alarm. sounded, thinking that the new fire truck would respond. The Mack has not been taken out yet, however, and the old Pope Hartford truck re- sponded. The speed with which it traveled the length of West Main street to Washington street, shows that the purchase of the old truck was one of the best that Plainville ever made. According to reports, it has not ben overhauled for the past nine years and it was working in al- most perfect order. The equipment at,the local fire house should rank with the best when both trucks are put into commission.
