Editor New Britain Herald: I have had submitted to me to vote upon a cireular sent out by Stanley H. Holmes, superintendent of school, dated January 28, in reference to the question of providing a lunch room at a cost of $5,000 at the Senlor High school. I wonder just how many. of the families throughout the city who send their children to school realize what this means. In addition to the added expense in taxation to the taxpayers, it has the following objections: 1—It reduces the actual study or session period exactly 35 minutes. I don’t think that the city of New Brit- ain can afford to have the pupils in | the high school Jose 35 minutes each day—the pupils don’'t get any too much education as it is today. 2—The children taking their lunch 'at the school will not get the proper food. We all know that children as a whole like sweet things and it will mean that they will indulge in more | pies, cakes and lice cream than they will in substantial foods such as they would get at home, 3—Under this luncheon plan the children will be forced to buy a warm luncheon at the school at an addi- tional expense to the parents of from | 15 cents to 30 cents a day (it is very | doubtful if suitable food could be provided for 15 cents, therefore, for the child to have proper nourishment we will figure on 30 cents a day— now then, the school term I believe is 40 weeks so that this charge of 30 cents a day would mean an added ex- pense to the parent of $60.00 a year for each pupil (which expense I don’t believe any of us want to bear) or else eat a cold luncheon brought from home which is very bad for the di- gestive organs and a troublesome task for the mothers. 4—Under the proposed plan the noon period for lunch will be from 11 a. m. to 12 noon. I assume that this hour is suggested so as to force the pupil to take lunch at the school in- { asmuch as the factory hour for lunch | is from*12 to 1 o'clock. The parents who wish their children to come home { will be compelled to get lunch for the | children between 11 and 12 a. m, and get another lunch for the head of the family between 12 noon and 1 p. m,, which 1s going to cause a lot of incon- venience to the housewife, §—The school committce have ad- vanced no good reason why this should be necessary, Their statement reads that the “principal reason being urged in favor of a luncheon service is to permit the school day to be | closed one hour earlier than under the present schedule.,” This appears to be unnecessary. They don’t state in their circular that the proposed schedwle will make the school day 35 minutes shorter, The present morning session closes at 11:40 a. m, and opens at 1:05 p. ., If there is to be any change whatso- ever the change should be made to conform with the factory hours for luncheon. 1 don’t see as there would be any | great objection to fitting up a lunch- eon service at the high school pro- viding the lunch hour conformed with the factory hours and it was left op- tional with the parents whether the children should take lunch at the gchool or go home, This is a matter that T believe every parent should take an interest in and give a full ex- pression of their opinion.

The search for relatives will be carried to New Ha- SAM SMITH ven and Syracuse, N. Y., where po- lice have learned he claimed to have brothers and sisters, and from which cities he has reccived mail. In his effects the police found a picture of the man with a woman and three children, which lead them EVERETT TRUE WeL L Go dver TO THE SID WERE SHAVING. CVERETT TRVE.

The home ad- dress of his relatives is Wot known, and the police of the cities in which they are alleged to live have been forwarded copies of the picture in an effort to locate them. According to the story told to:the police by Mrs. Muskus, proprietor of the Regal hotel, Smith was there. Tuesday night about 7 o'clock and wanted her to go to the post office and identify him so that he could get some money that he had in the postal savings bank. He told her that he had just come from New Haven where he had had some trouble with relatives over some property and wanted to get the money to pay them. : At the post office it was learned by the police that Smith had $160 on deposit and had been in thers Tuesday afternoon to draw it out, but they had not given it to him as he did not have his certificates with him. He, was drunk when he was at the post office, saying that he had been up on Broad street where he drank some wine. Mrs. Bertha Peters of 93 Arch street, at whose house Smith lived up to about six weeks ago, told the po- lice that he was very much opposed to liquor, and that was the reason that he had left her place, some of the other roomers coming home drunk once in a while. She told the police that he received mail from Syracuse, where he told her he had a sister and brother. The body has been at the under- taking rooms of Frank Brodzik since Tuesday night, and was huried this afternoon. 3 GIFT FOR OOL. BULLEN. Col. W. W. Bullen, past grand of Lexington lodge, 1. O. O.
