Figures compiled by L. 8 Mills, secretary of the town school com- mittee, show that there are 115 less children registeted in the Plalaville schools this year than there were last.

Although several nearby towns and cities require children to be vaccinated before they can enter the publie schools, this is not a rui- ing of the town health officer and it is not essential that the students be vaccinated before entering.
