Milford, Oct. 13-The town school 1 committee Friday night perfected it's
 organization, which is necessary at this time for the coming year. George M. Gum, president Of the i board for the past 25 yaers, was unanimously reelected to that posi- ton, as was George J. Smith as secre- | tary. MT. Gunn's term, per his own request, will expire next year, round ing out 40 years of service on the board. He appointed committees as follows: Teachers, O. ". Platt, F. II. Smith, H. c. Peck and w. B. Me Carthy. Buildings and supplies, Rev. P. H. Mclean; R. c. Stoddard, E. W. French and Herbert Peterson; finance, G. J. Smith, c. H. HoIton, J. D. Brown, Jr., and G. M. Gum. Judge Brown was the only new member to take office last night, having been elected at Mondays election, succeed ing A. c. Gardner. There was considerable discussion,
 regarding plans for the future. the most difficult problem being that of providing accommodations for the in l crease in the number of pupils that 1 will have to be taken care of. Walnut l Beach Is the greatest sufferer at
 present, and it was voted to hire a 1 building near the school there, that | is available, and which will house the i overflow. It will be necessary also to l secure new teachers for this. Fort Trumbul1 Beach is also badly con- 1 gested, but as the finance board turn
 ed down the appropriation of $5,000 1 asked for to secure a site, this sec
 ton will have to get along as best it 1 can for the present. The other sec 1 well confirmed | now.
 Another matter gone into, was the Standardization plan, and F. NJ
 Smith was male director of this work here. The night school, which Is III
 line with this work, is to be started
 Immediately, probably getting under
 way by next week. One other i'm | portant matter, which the Visiting l Nurse Association had asked permis- sion to take charge with the cooper alton of the board, is that of furnish
 ing refreshments at costs to the pu- pills. This was left in the hands of | Superintendent Nathewson to ar
 range. The committee on buildings and supplies was given authority with 1 power to act on providing extra ac- Icommodations where necessary and possible, to sign contracts and leases for such purposes.
