 DECREASES IN MAR YEAR

SCHOOL REGISTRATION
 DECREASES IN WAR YEAR
 The direct effect of the war on the
 schools and upon the education of
 many was in evidence in Killingly
 Tuesday. when the schools opened for
 the fall term.
 Principal Ernest R. Warren of Kill
 ingly High school said Tuesday after
 noon that the registration up to that
 time at the high school was only Al, as against 172 on the opening day last year. It will be noted that the percent
 age of shrinkage is heavy Onlys37 re-
 gistered in tlIe-fSeshman class the | smallest number in many years. There have been entering classes twice as
 large in recent years.
 l. MT, Warren noted 2 shrinkage of only one member in the senior class, but the junior and sophomore classes will show heavier losses. There will be an offset to this, however. in that perhaps as many as ten students who were not at school Tuesday will come 1 in during the week. It is possible that the maximum registration for the term at the high school will be just oyer 150, a shrinkage from an excess of 200 in years just before the war. This is remarkable in view of the fact that killingly and surrounding towns from which the school attracts students has steadily gained in population during the war period.
 High wages paid by manufacturing plants and opportunities to earn very I liberal compensation in other lines of l endeayar is generally accepted as the
 reason for the falling off in the num- l Der who should follow the higher | af e.t1y he c l been brought abtat by the world con- | f1iet and is one of the penalties i'm posed upon humanity by the ravaging Huns. Many young people have gone | in the past three years direct from Grammar school into money making 1 occupations. The lure of gold has beer | stronger than the thirst for knowledge | though the choice has been appreciat- 1 ed by many of the young people as meaning handieaps and regrets later 1 on. Others have been in the midst oi 1 a high school course when they threw aside their books to go Gut into the world and work.
 Electric Headlights on Norwich Branch Locomotives.
 Persons who have a peculiar inter- est for things pertaining to railroads have noted during the past few days I that locomotives equipped with cleo tric headlights have made their ap- l peaFance on the Norwich branch o1 l the New Haven system. The lights are in general us on many roads 1T l the country.
 There is special advantage in tht 1 use of these electric headlights thaf 1 motorists will appreciate and that is
 that they cast their rays far ahead
 of the oncoming train and provide ar
 additional warning of the approach O
 train toward a grade crossing.
