Both Yale and Princeton have drawn
huge assemblies of adherents and foot
bali followers in other seasons, but all
previous records pale in comparison with
the 1919 crowds. OF the scores of hotels

Although the Harvard stadium will
seat close to $4,000 persons, the demand
for tickets is far in excess of accommo-
dations, and with bids of 500 for mid

a successful manner.
The Methodist aggregation are deter

 Explains school Problems.
 At the public school meeting, which was held Saturday night at the East Berlin Athletic hall, a good program was rendered. 1t consisted of a short play which was followed with musical and vocal selections by the students of the Hubbard school G. R. SQuireS of MiddletoWn, who has been four min ute speaker during the war; gave a very interesting talk on the subject of "War Savings Stamps. At the con- clusion of his talk he introduced the upcrintendent of schools, E. R. ShO- walter, who gave a talk on the Der lin schol Problem" which he said he wished to have published before the town meeting occurred so as to give to people of the town an idea of the present situation. In the course of his talk he said:
 "W hile Berlin stands 49th in tho number of children enrolled in the schools, the rank in the numb of teachers employed is 61.5. This is marked evidence of the fact proven elsewhere, that there are not enough teachers employed by the town of Berlin Berlin is wealthicr in people than in this worlds goods, If the rank of 76 on the basis of the grand list is accepted as true. There arc few people in the town, however, who do not admit that the grand list falls far short of the amount at which it should stand. At the annual town meeting, which was held last Novem- Der, vote was taken expressing It to be the sense of the meeting that the grand list was too small, and re nuesting the assessors to take steps to correct the situation.
 "Includinc the funds drawn from the state, Berlin spent about S2o,- 900 for it's schools last year. Upon the basis of average attendance this meant an expenditure of $3o.2O for each child. on this basis Berlin

The adjourned town meeting is scheduled for this evening at the town hall. The question to be dis cussed this evening is the laying of the tax rate, which has been 6 mills for the past few years. The board of finance reports that the same rate is sufficient to cover the budget prepared at the town meeting last November, but the new appropriations asked by the school board may make it neces- sary to raise the rate. Members of the school board have prepared a re-
 port which is to be rendered this eve4 ming and will be used in an effort to show the citizens that more money must be appropriated by them in or der to pay the school expenses. It was remarked this morning by a number of citizens that if the school board is given a chance to demon- strate to the public what the school expenses are, the citizens who are against appropriating more money for the school board will come around to
