SUMMER TEACHERS
TO GET INCREASE
School Committee Makes Known
Recommendations

y The teachers committee of the
school board, at the monthly meeting
held yesterday, recommended an IN
crease in salaries for the teachers
and principal of the summer school,
The schedule, as presented, provides
to increase the principals pay from
50 to 1925 per day and the teachers
from $1.25 to $1.75 per day. The
summer school course is for six weeks
and the hours are from $40 to 11:45
a. M each day. The average attend
ance is somewhat in excess OF 400.
A letter from Principal Marcus
White of the New Britain State Nor
NAL school, referring to the proposed
addition to the Camp school, stated
that it will be necessary to have an
appropriation of $4,000 to insure the
. addition, which will accommodate 500
more pupils. DR.. E. T. Fromen, for
the committee on health and SANTA
ton, included a report from DR.. Wa
terman Lyon advising that the out
door school be enlarged SO as to ac-
commodate at least fifty more pupils.
DR.. G. H. Dalton, DR.. Frank Zwick
and Dr. Waterman Lyon were re-
elected as school inspectors for next
year.
Petition for Playground.
In discussing school work Judge
Gaffney mentioned the management
Of the drawing course and asked, in
view of the high cost of paper,
whether the school district should
continue to pay for paper used by pu-
pills in drawing classes. The matter
was referred to the finance commit
tee. The matter of school enumera-
ton was likewise referred to the
finance committee with power. Res
idents of Stanley Quarter presented a
petition asking that a kindergarten
class be-~tablished at the Stanley
school and also that a playground be
established there. Permission was
readily granted to use the school
yard as a playground, but the mat
ter of organizing a kindergarten class
was referred to the teachers commit
tee.
Superintendent s. H. Holmes re-
ported that he had recently commu-
nicated with about fifty employers OF
tradesmen, tnquiring as to what
trades they considered as the most
important to be taught at the trade
school. OF these, thirty-seven consid-
cred the machinists' trade the most
important. Thirty-six favored draft
ing. Thirty-five also favored too
making and thirty -four included
metal pattern making as very i'm
portant. Relative to the advisabi
of introducing any new trades at the
school, eleven men considered a class
in carpentry as highly important
few thought a class In farming ar
excellent idea Other trades were
mentioned

G. Fox & Co.'S new department
store, which is pictured herewith for
the first time, will be a notable ad-
dition to Hartford's fine buildings. 1t
is of masterful design by one OF the
best known architects of the country,
Case Gilbert of New York, and from
sub basement to the roof of the eleven
story structure will be the last word
in modern department store con-
struction.
The main building, shown in the
illustration, is rich and harmonious
in design. Its frontage of 176 feet
on Main street is ample to carry the
eleven stories with pleasing effect,
and aside from the massive metal
marques over the two wide entrances
there is little in the way of ornamen-
tation to break the attractive SIM
plicity of the design. The entire base
of the front will be of polished gran
lite. Indiana limestone will be used
New Britain herald., 1917-07-17

until the third floor windows are
reached and then there will be six
stories of white brick From the
ninth to the eleventh stories the ma
terial will be terra Gotta brick. The
entire building will be absolutely fire
proof, this feature having been
worked out on the most approved
plan. The main floor will be faced
with gray Tennessee marble and the
wide stairways will be constructed Of
the same material. There will be elev-
en- of the latest type two to one"
electric elevators-quiet, roomy and
safe-in constant use for patrons and
employees. The plans of the firm con-
template many innovations. All de-
partments of the store as Hartford
has known them will be dwarfed by
the divisions of the new store. Wide
aisles, rest rooms and a restaurant
which will probably occupy most of
the top floor will, with many other

MORE F'RATERNAL LOVE,
up. s. Furnishes Nickles for Chill
dren to Go to Other Theaters.

That the local theatrical managers
as brothers within the bond of their
profession love each other. there can
be little doubt. 1t was learned today
at the police station that P. S. Me-
MahOn admitted to a policeman that
he gave some children under the age
nickles to go to FoX's theater to the
movies, when he knew that the po-
lice were looking for violations of
the theater law.
Fox's manager and the. manager of
the Lyceum will be in the police court
tomorrow morning to stand trial for
admitting children into their theaters
without proper escorts.

VENTILATION OF CARS

To the Editor Of the Evening LCdger:
Sir---If the p. Il, r. would instruct the
conductor when to open and when to close
car windows and the cars were properly
ventilated from the roof, the problem would
be solved. If the T.. r. 4. officials or our
Doctor Krusen sat in the seat in front OF
one OF the present ventilators open, with
the air streaming down the back OF their
necks for an hour, the system would be
changed very soon. The writer is fresh
air hend, too. During the last winter
there were more colds contracted from these
very ventilators than is realized, especially
on a ride of an hour or more.
When the cars are crowded they should
he ventilated, then when the suburban dis
trIct is reached with often fewer than a
dozen riders the conductor could be In
structed TO close the windows and ven
tiatOrs,
Not long since when the writer was the
first to enter a car on Route 90, at the
end Of the line, the car was closed up tight
and It was blue with tobacco smoke. AS
the motorman was lust outside smoking a
pipe. one can imagine the cause. II surely
would be much more healthy and pleasant
to ride II the doors and windows were oper
for few moments while waiting for the
time to start on the return trip.

HELPING THE RED CROSS

10 the EONOT OJ lHC EItHftV 1SSuSS'
sir-There is much heard nowadays about
the urgent needs OF the Red Cross; that
money, above all else, is its chief lack.
Some gentleman has suggested that motion
picture houses be allowed to run full force
on Sunday, provided that so per cent Of
their proceeds go 10 the Red Cross. The
idea is a splendid one, but allow me to go
him one better.
Let our vaudeville theatres be run on
Sunday. Much money could be so realized.
for many folks would take the opportunity
for enjoyment upon their only day Of free
dom from toll. Let the amusement parks
such as Willow Grove, Woodsde and Point
Breeze be taxed at least one-fourth Of their
profits. Let the baseball games be played.
Innumerable persons would gladly attend TO
be given a chance for relaxation and par
ticipating in a patriotic spectacle,
Every ticket bought for show should
have an extra cent added on, the cent being
maid by the purchaser. No true American
would object TO helping along New York
for many years has enjoyed open Sun
days-why not Philadelphia, when a chance
would be given which would incidentally
help the country and the world in general? ?
