DEPLORES CIGARETTE - SMOKING AMONG WOMEN Binghamton, N. Y., Oct. 10.—Dr. Ella A. Boole of Brooklyn, state president of |the W. C. T. U., in addressing the 400 women delegates attending the 46th convention of the union tonight. de- plored the increase of sigarette smok- inz among women. “We look upon cigarette smoking by women as an at- | tempt to ape a form of femtinism which would show that a woman has a School Superintendent E. J. Graham calls to the citizens’ attention . the crowded condition of Norwich schools in making his annual report. to the town school committee and embodies with it his plea for favorable action for the junior high echool as one of the town's educational needs. “In his report he says on this point: Again I wish to call the attention of the town school committee and the citizens of Norwich to the imperative need for increased school accommoda- tions to relieve the crowded conditions in certain sections of the town. And again I wish to make a plea for the junior high school organization rather than a continuation of our old organ- ization, with additions to the old buildings. P Additions to the old buildings would relieve crowded conditions, but would 2dd nothing educationally to our school organization. The expense of the additions would be nearly as great as the expense of the new building, | while the old plan would embody none of the advantages to, the pupils that the new plan embodies. Crowded Conditions. Crowded_conditions exist in Mt Pleasant, High strect, Bridge school and Broadway. In Mt Pleasant six of the eight rooms in the building have two teach- ers with an average attendance of over 60 pupils in a room. Small rooms con- structed for cloak rooms are being used as class rooms. These rooms are poorly lighted, poorly ventilated and so crowded that good results in teach- ing cannot be expected. With the junior high school organ- ization, the pupils of the seventh and eight grades, about 150 in all, would be taken out of this building, thus releas- ing the upper floor for grade rooms. This would give a separate room for each grade in the building and a large room for a kindergarten. By the elimination of the seventh and eighth grades in Broadway space would be available in this school to relieve the crowded conditions in the other congested centers. The -juunior high school would zive to the seventh and eighth grade pupils and the first year of the Academy the following advantages: 1. A better type of instruction and school life. 2. Departmental teaching. 3. Promotion by subject rather than by grade. S 4. Increased vocational training: For bovs—(a) woodworkinz. (b) Pprinting, (¢) painting. (d) electrical work (e) machine work. For girls—(a) home economics, cooking. (c) sewinz, (d) millinery. 5. Commercial education—(a) busi- ness English, (b) typewriting ,(c). ste- nography. 6. More pupils retained in school! through the grammar grades. 7. More pupils, better would enter high school. 2. Increased attention given to phy-, sical training. 9. Better musical advantages offered to all 10. Civic training and broader school tife. I i (®) prepared. | Springtield, Mass., Sommerville, Mass., | ‘well past the experimental stage. | and pay for such a building with ap- domestic arts for the girls and there ‘wuld also be commercial and science departments for both boys and girls. This organization would give four courses ot study, viz: Academic, which leads to the col- lege preparatory. course. Commercial, for those business _education. Manual Arts. Domestic Arts. The present grammar school offers only one course—-the academic with short courses in wood working and cooking. ‘This means that the pupil that wishes to. go to the Academy is well prepared but what of the other 50 per cent. who do.not not or cannot go to the Academy? ~Pupils who are not academicaily inclined leave school at an eariy age because they take no interest in that line of work. Given an opportunity to take manual, do- mestic or commercial courses ,many of these pupils would complete the three years of the Junior High School and thus be much better prepared to take up_their life work in the community. This renewed fnterest in school work tends to hold the pupils in school and more would finish the ac- ademic work than do at the present time. Many pupils at the adolescent age get discouraged and drop out of school. This organization plans to bridge over this time in a child’s life —to hold them in school until they see the real value of an education. Approximately two hundred pupils leave the public schools during the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Another hundred who graduzee from the grammar schools do not enter the Academy. Should not some provision be made to give these pupils what they deSire and need so as to hold them in school? Wherever these schools are in operation a marked increase im attendance is reported. Successtul schools ol tnis type are be- ing maintained and operated in desiring. a Chelsea, Mass., and Concord, Boston and abo,. 20 adjacent are organizing o. this plan. _ The state of Vermont is reorganiz- ing its school system along this line. Rochester, N. Y., has had one school in operation for more than five years. Another $650,000 building is nearly completed and the city has voted an ppropriation of $800,000 for a third building. This shows what Rochest- er thinks of the plans. Buffalo, a sister city, is spending $9,000,000,000 on school buildings, including Junior High sChools. Montclair -and New N. J., have successful schools in operation. The junior high school organization is alerady in operation in Bridgeport, South Norwalk and New Britain. New London, with a vocational school al- ready in operation, has recently voted a $500,000 appropriation for a junior high school. ‘This partial list of cities having this plan in operation, proves that it is -.v.win can ouild, equip, operate proximately a two-mill tax by issu- ing serial bonds extending over a pe- riod of thirty yvears, retiring annually 1t is conceded that Norwich needs an auditorium and a recreational gym- nasium for public use. In many cities these two parts of a school, as well as | the shops and Kkitchens. have become real community centers through which the life of the city has flowed with its countless intere: personal. eivic, philanthropic and patriotic. The auditorium 2s planned would accommodate from 1.200 to 1.300 peo- ple, with a stage large enough for school theatricals and choruses. musi- cals. lectures, etc. The auditorium could also be used for conventions and man other eivic purposes. This auditorivm can be dedicated as a fittine memorial to the men of Nor- ch who plaved their significant part cal, | i in_winning the world war. r Universal popul education has | proved to be America’s greatest safe- ruard in times of cri What is more fittine than that Norwich should com- memorate her soldiers’ deeds in a form ‘that will perpetuate and develop this ideal? What Buildina Would Contain. In speaking of the desirability of incorporating the junior high school in the Norwich school system, Super- intendent Graham said on Friday that the junior high scfool building, in addition to the regular grammar and academic class rooms, would contain a group of rooms for the manual arts right to do anything a man can do,” Dr. Boole said. “Leave tobacco to the men. Tt is unwomanly to smoke,” she said. WEMYSS HAS RESIGNED AS FIRST SEA LORD for the boys, a group of rooms for the one $10,000 pond. This plan lets the reration that benefits by this school help to pay for it. Surely ‘the town & - caurd 10 withhold from its coildr advantages as this woulg offer. pians which are being shown for the proposed building were drawn up during the summer by a New York architect presented to the school committee free of charge for advertising purposes. They are by no means permanent, plans but serve tiie community what such a building would contain. They may be schoo The ~u . the Loston re windows. In the proposed plan, the building would bave _on the ground floor, which is dropped a little below the level of the ground, rooms for wood working, painting, electrical work, printing, drawing, cooking millinery, fitting, sewing and ¢nodel living apartment, and also the boys’ and girls’ cafeterfa. On this floor would also be the auditorium and the gym- nasium. On the first floor there would be thirteen class rooms, dental clinic and medical examination room, super- intendent’s and principal’s rooms, board room, study hall and teachers’ rooms. On the second floor would be seven class rooms, and the rooms for book- keeping, banking, stenography, type- wriung, chemistry biology and physics deparments.
