POSTPONE ACTION
 ON CAMP SCHOOL
Board of Education Desires to
 Obtain Further Information

Members of the school board at the meeting held yesterday afternoon dis cussed the proposed addition to the Camp school on Prospect street, for which the state of Connecticut has appropriated $5O,000. A like amount will be needed from the municipality if the work is to be carried out ac- cording to the aims of the state board of education. Although the plans for the school are still in 8 tentative state, 1t was shown that the proposed school will be for the accommodation of all children, and that fears of 1t being ''silk stockinged'' were allayed when Superintendent Holmes assured some of the commissioners that this was not so.
 It was in reply to the question of Commissioner ]. l.. Kelly that the su- perintendent replied, "Just the same as now when the committee man sought information concerning whether it would be under the Jurisdiction of the local school authorities. Superintendent Holmes explained that part of the new build- ing would be utilized as an assembly hall, and the remainder for rooms for U plans or specifications available. 1t was voted that the finance committee of the school board meet with Charles F. Smith and Marcus White, the com mittee appointed by the legislature. to arrange for definite information to be given at Q special meeting to be called by the president of the board. It was pointed out that in the event of the board taking the necessary action to recommend the erection of the building, and the commencement of the work, the school would not be available in time for the opening of the fall term.
 Teachers Salaries Increased.
 When the reading of the report of the committee on salaries was com pleted, President Gaffney spoke of the recommendations of the commit tee in regard to some of the teachers at the trade and academic. high schools, and on their suggestion, it was voted to increase the salaries $25 each. President Ganney explained that careful thought had been given the matter, and it was found that the affected teachers were paid less than those in other cities. The increases will become effective at the opening of the fall term.
 Text Book Changes.
 Chairman Walsh of the text book committee reported two changes in the work in the schools. When asked ] in regard to changing American his tory from one method to another, by the president, Judge Walsh read a letter from Miss McAuley where it was shown that the present system is proving uninteresting to the students The board voted to secure bids for
