N. Potter, inspector of evening schools, which show that Windham isl not getting as large an attendance as it should Ansonia 227 Bristol 193; killingly 26; Manchester 221; Nauga- tuck 65 Vernon 72; Wallingford 15e; Windham 56.9.
 The ratios of the number attending as opposed to the estimated popula- tion of each place is as follows: one person in 246 in the town of Windham has attended; in Wallingford 1 in 76; in New Britain 1 in 169; in Waterbury i in S2. These figures would indicate that a larger number should be se- cured in Willimantic, especially in view of the fact that there are such a large number of foreigners in the city. St. JosepE's hospital is crowded and is having serious trouble taking care of it's patients as most of the nurses are ill, and there are only four able to be on duty.
 The meeting of employers and enl- ployment managers called for Thurs day morning by Superintendent Mar tindale of the U, S. employment bu- reau. was not as we'll attended as de- sired because of unfayorable weather. Those who were present found the discussion very helpful The matter of holding regular meetings for ern- ployers was discussed, and it was de- cided that the chamber of commerce should be used as a medium for the calling of meetings to take up ques- tions regarding the labor supply and the recruiting of labor. The question was also brought up as to the a7visa- biiity of having registration of wo- men and girls to ascertain how many are available for employment in fac tories, stores. etc. At the next meet | ing it will be decided as to whether Willimantic employers think this reg l istration is needed in community, and if so. whether they will recom- mend that it be brought before the labor board. This recommendation would then be brought before State Director Leo A. Korper, and the reg l istration would be done under his di- reetion and authority. Another point considered by the meeting was the number of high school boys who are available for. part time work after school and Saturdays. Several blind people have applied to the bureau for l employment, and it was decided 10 make a census of the blind 10 find out their numbers and their abilities. George H.
