Present Genus" ---Oiher Items.

There will be no appointed visiting
day for the teachers of the High
school. with the accompanying holt
day for the students this year, but
each teacher may take day OFF to
visit some other school. Already a
large number OF teachers have had
their visiting days. The number OF
school days has been cut down SO
much, that 1t has been found neces-
sary to omit one Of the holidays and
the annual teachers visiting day has
been abolished This system may be
changed next year.

Trouble With Class Book.
Business Manager knight reports
that soliciting ads for the 1915 class
book is the hardest kind of work.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
rule which forbids its, members from
advertising in any other than a
Mt
the majority of local merchants be-
long to this organization and obey
ing its laws to the letter, they refuse !
to advertise in the annual class book |
The pupils think this law needs i'm
mediate amending. as the chamber I
does not do justice to the school, for !
this class book, while published an |
nually. is always regular and is repre- |
sentative of the New Britain High /
school. The merchants themselves /
are willing to alleviate the expenses
Of publishing the class book by do |
ing some advertising, but they are i
restricted by this rule. The officers
Of the organization have done nothing
towards changing the impeding rule.
1t hardly seems right that the yearly
graduating class should be so hin
dered in soliciting advertisements by
any such rule.
