The Berlin evening school will open for the year Monday night at the Kensington Junior High school, under the supervision of Mrs. Anna Young, who has made splendid pro- gress in this line during the past seven years, it was announced hy Miss Mary Griswold, superintendent of schools, this riorning. The e ning school will consist of two classes, one to be conducted for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 16 who have received their working papers and will not centinue to go to day school, and the other for for- eign-born adults who are candidates for citizenship. There were seven dults left over from the class of L} year, and it is hoped that these | will return for further instruction | and form a nucleus for additional students. There are many highly intelligent candidates for citizenship in the vicinity of Berlin who have been un- able to complete steps toward be- coming citizens because they have been found deficient in knowledge of the English language and Amer- jcan laws. It is strongly urged that these persons apply at the evening school which is about to open and take advantage of the opportunitiss offered there. Employers who em- foreign help could aid a great in urging them to increase their knowledge of the English language, it is stated. Even if an insufficient number of adults to merit a special class apply at the evening school, they will always find provisions made for their instruction if they continue coming. The night sessions will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day at 7 o'clock each week. Miss Griswold will be present at the open- ing of the evening school Monday night to examine the working papers which must be presented by girls and boys of 14, 15 and 16 years to enter the evening classes. She will then issue permits for exemption from day school Former Slave Dies Robert Boyington, aged Negro | and former slave, died at the nsr.} lin town farm this morning after | a short illness. For a number of years he had been too old to work | and had found a pleasant home at the farm. Boyington came north at some time in the dim past, and though his former home is not known he was frequently known to have spoken of Georgia. The old Negro is believed to have been up- ward of 80 years of age, though he had no idea of the date of his birth, a circumstance common to many of | his kind who were at one time slaves on plantations. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow at the parlors of the B. C. Porter Sons of New Britain. Democratic Caucus Tomorrow Little has been heard of demo- cratic plans for the caucus Frida night, but a popular Kensington man is being quietly bdomed for the nomination for representative.

The interesting cam- paign between Pardon C. Rickey and | Mrs. Jean Hooker for the represen- tative nomination has attracted the of Berlin | voters. Arrested Driving Under Suspension | Frank Kwasnik, 34, New Britain road, Kensington, was arrested on Park street in New Britain yester- by Sergeant Michael Flynn for| ng an automobile” while under a suspension of license. His case continued until Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. George F. Dodd re- turned to their home in Berlin yes: terday after an extended tour of months. They left home last January and in the interim have visited most of the places of inter- est in the United States. California, Florida, the Yellowstone Park, anl many other places were in the list of their itinerary. Dr. Phillips Installed Rev. Vernon Lee Phillips, former pastor of the Kensington Congrega- gational church, was installed Wed- nesday as president of Shenandoah Phillip is of this college, having connected with the school © 23 years ago when he matriculated there as a freshman.

Dr. Pullen spoke for about an hour and the members of the Bible class enjoyed the enlight- ening lecture immensely. Inspectors Vacate The corn horer inspectors who | have been encamped on the high- ways in the vicinity of Berlin since the early part of the summer fold- ed their tents like the Arabs last night and silently stole aw It was | a strange sight today to approach the entrance to Willow Brook park en route to New Britain and, instead of a row of guard markers and two or three men there, to see only an open and unimpeded highway. Motorists today seemed to be un- able to accustom their eyes to the vacant road, and acted as though about to slow gown for a hasty in- spection. Programs Haven't Arrived Programs for the state teachers'| convention to be held in Hartford October 24 have ndt arrived in Ber- lin as yet. The date of the conven- tion was formerly given as the 17th but has now been an- Rible Cla it y Decreascs Applicants at the Berlin night school for primary instruction in the English language have steadily de- creased during the past few years. This is thought to be due to a reduc. tion of illiteracy rather than a de- crease of interest. Building Not Yet Open The new building that was begun last June at the Merricourt school at Berlin has not yet been fitted for occupancy. It was hoped that the new hall would be ready ago, but interior decorations have prolonged the process of construc- tion. The building will probably be dedicated some time next month.

Countless debates, numerous per- sonal verbal tilts, and a deluge of complexing questions and answers marked the lively and lenthy ad- journdd town meeting held last evening in the high school auditor-| fum. No trouble was experienced in accepting the reports of the town | officers but the resolutions, concern- ing the playground, a boulevard system on East street, and the state aid appropriation were discussed at iength, suggestions made and dis- approved, amendments proposed, and numerous criticisms voiced be- | fore they were finally accepted. | Town Clerk William H. Wilson was | called upon time and time again | to repeat the reading of the reso-!| lutions and he had little voice left when the meeting finally adjourned after a three hour session. The de- bates became intense at times and humorous on other occasions. A | small but representative gathering| was present at the meeting. Peter J. Prior, moderator at the town election Monday, acted as| chairman of the meeting. Town Clerk Wilson was clerk. Upon a motion of First Selectman James Simpson. O. I. Cooley was re-clect- ed as a member of the building commission. Thomas Prior and Wil- liam Cassidy were re-elected mem- bers of the town plan commission upon a motion made by Ole W.| Robinson, candidate for representa- | tive on the republican ticket. These | motions were passed without dis- | cussion. A resolution was then passed au- thorizing the board of selectmen to borrow an amount not to exceed $110,000 to carry on the business of the town during the coming vear: This motion was also passed with- out trouble. The ‘reports of the selectmen, town treasurer, school committee, | library directors, public health of- ficer, town plan commission, park commission and board of finances were adopted and approved without question. Stanley S. Gwillim, chair- man of the town finance board. spoke to the gathering, giving in de- tail & summary of the work donw by the board in preparing tne budget. Revort On Schools In his third annual report, Super- intendent of Schools Leon C. Staples stated that a period of expansion and development has been complet- ed which has placed the entire hool system on a modern basic. | the I'rom the kindergarten to the senior | vear at the, high school there has been a complete reorganization cov- erind every phase of school work | and in conformity with educational trends throughout the country. He called attention # the build-! ing situation at the Broad Street | school. This school consists of 19 rooms in four different buildings, of | which two are wooden portables. ! The brick building is well construct- | ed and can serve as the nucleus of | a modern school plant. This year a firm of school architects presented a preliminary plan of a complete building with all modern facllitie The town committee has adopted a policy regarding maintenance and repairs of this plant so that no large expenditure shall be made which does not incorporate the ideas of a completed modern school unit. The proposed remodeling is to take place in the following order: Construction of a central heating plant at a total cost of about $12 500, which has been already done: the_erection at an carly date of a| fireproof wing on the rear of the | TRAND PLAINVILLE The “Untamed” Star in a Picture That Has What You Want JOAN CRAWFORD fn “MONTANA MOON” News — Acts — Comedy FRIDAY—SATURDAY “SWING HIGH" with Chester Conklin and Ben Turpin See the Strand Announcement | keep it in the rear of the | for children. | graded from { accomplished |and the selectmen would brick building to take the place of the portable buildings which are in- adequate and unsatisfictory: and eventually the replacement of the wooden building by a fireproof wing {on the east side of the brick build- ing. In speaking of the high school, Mr. Staples stated that a study of electives in high school shows a de- cided trend away from college pre- towards courses in | practical arts. Health Officer's Report Dr. George F. Cook, health offi- cer, recommended a sewage system and garbage collection for the sixth consecutive year in his report. also recommended that the town in- stall traffic signals at the more dan- gerous crossings as numerous acci- dents could have been averted had signals been present. He also stated. that in the past only diseases that have been subject to quarantine have been placarded but in the future all communicable diseases would be placarded.

Of this amount, $455,736 is the valuation of the buildings. The high school plant leads in value being quoted at $204,249. Fireworks Begin Suddenly With the meeting proceeding along works! suddenly began when a reso- ing by the Plainville Graded School | association asking the town to take | over the maintenance of the play ground at the Broad Street school. The terms and resolution met with great disap- proval. It adopted as presented, the town would have to maintain the playground permanently, always Broad Street school and on no other site, have to pay all bills whether they were kept within the appropriation of $300 or I not. It was pointed out that the town | could not legally vote to maintain playground permanently but that the matter of promoting it and making an appropriation would have to come up vearly. After a long discussion, lowing resolution was adopred: “That the board of sclectmen be and hereby are authorized to ap- point @ committee of three citizens to supervise the playground now lo- cated at the Broad Street school and to authorize the payment of bills for this work for an amount not exceeding $300 coming summer is included in the new budget, making the above reso- lution possible. The school gssocia- tion will offer a resolution af a later 2:22 that will give the town posses- €ion of the equipment at the play ground which is valued at $1,000. The money for the equipment raised by public subscription. It took | three-quarters of an hour to settle the playground adoption.
