Staples, superin- tendent of schools, will explain the extended health program that he is recommending for use in the local schools next year. According to Mr. Staples, a par- tial examination of children in lewer grades during the present achuol yecr has revealed the need of more systematic medical and health serv- ice, Children in well advanced stages ot tuberculosis and in the last stages of diabetis were discovered and in every case the home was unaware of the cxisting conditions. One of the local doctors after examining several hundred children said that he was surprised at the large percentage of diseased throats discovered. He said that “almost every child in Plainviile needs a throat operation.” The teeth are equally in need of atten- tion. It is said that 75 per cent of the ills of adult lite are tracéable to teeth and tonsils. Mr. Staples believes that the Parent-Teacher association can do no greater work during the coming year than to focus attention upon this phase of school work, At the meeting tomorrow evening he will recommend the following program for the year: First, the preparation of a program for the monthly mectings to include spe- cialists in the subject of mental and physical health of children; second, careful study of all phases of health work undertaken in neighboring communities; third, the immediate gathering of funds to promote & dental clinic; and lastly, the foster- ing at public expense of immuniza- tion against diphtheria. H. 8. Libby, superintendent of schools in Southington, will also speak to the association. He will base his talk on a survey covering a personal interview with several hundred children in Southington who left school before entering high school. The survey was made as a preliminary step in preparation for a thesis in connection with graduate work at New York university. Mr. Libby will show quite conclu- sively that it is not economic pres- sure which sends children out into the world poorly prepared to conmi- pete with modern living conditi Anyone who is permitting his cl to go to work too early is invited to hear Mr. Libby. salvation Army Appeal ‘The Salvation army opens its an- nual general maintenance appeal in Plainville today. For the next (wo weeks, resident of the town will be unked to give funds for the use of the army in the work of mercy being carried forward day in and day out here in central Connecticut. This is the only appeal that will be made by the Salvation army in Plainville this year. The appeal is for $600.

The appeal this year is being | sponsored and directed by a large committee of public spirited citizens. i'rank T. Wheeler is chairman of this committee and A. A.

Bristol News STREET CHANGES READY FOR ACTION Improvements Scheduled in Re- port o City Goneil OPENING OF BIDS IN JUN Spanish War Memorial Dedication Sept. 14—Cusano Fined $100 on Liquor Count—Damage Caused by Overflowing of Brooks. Definite recommendations will be presented to the city council this eve- ning by the street committee in con- nection with propeésed improvements on a number of new atreets, and it 1s probable that the city clerk will be authorized to advertise for bids which will be opened at the regular meeting of the council in June. For the past two months, the street committes has been working out a pregram which will result in the placing of a number of new streets in condition acceptable to the city.

It is not definitely known if the entire pro- gram can be carried out with the budget appropiration but as many as possible will be cared for. Tt was at first planned to hold but one meeting in May but due to the fact that Councilman Charles R. Andersen, who is chairman of the street committee, leaves on June 11 for & two months vacation in Europe, it was thought advisable to have all bids awarded prior to that time.
