He asked that the mat- ter be studied by a committee, which will report at the next meeting. President Willlam E.

He said he wanted to know whether this feeling was weneral or whether it was confined to a certain few. He declared that New Britain is no different from any other city, that it cannot have a shiort day whe.e & long day is re- quired any more than any other city. He also said that the afternoon dents would be at a disadvantage if the change were made. He urged that a constructive plan be outlined nd that a committee be appointed. ‘You cannot decide a question like this in five minutes,” he sald, “the 15lihu Burritt school, a bigger school, lias to be considered.” Principal French made a motion that a committee of seven be ap- vointed to study the situation, and to yeport back its findings at the next neeting on November 17. Mr. Att- wood opposed the motion declaring that Mr. Holmes' suggestion was a good one, and that questionnaires be scnt to the parents. Instructors Favor Change Tnstructor G. W.
