ceived from N. SC1rle Light, director of supervision. state board of educa- tiou. to the effect that the courts have held a mile and a half an unreason- able distance to walk though at other times two miles was not considered an excessive walk.
 In recalling the recent storm Mir. Schurr said that the Kensington road was impossible and that the children who usually had to walk to school were unable to attend while those Mir. Ciaudelin conveys to school were in attendance at the sessions. He also added that because of the fact that schools do not get out until o'clock. many of the walkers do not arrive home until 1t is dark and he con- siders this dangerous as the road fhich they traverse runs parallel with the main line of the New York. New Haven and Hartford. This is the vicinity in which many tramps travel.
 Refers to Pennington.
 Mir. Schurr also mentioned the neighboring towns in the state where children were conveyed to and from school. He quoted from a letter re- ceived from Lewis S. Mills, superin- tendent of schools in Plainville and Pennington. in which 1t was stated that in Pennington there are three large buses with an average of. 30 pupils per bus at s5 day. Mir. Claud- eIin is paid s2 a day for carrying only children. |
 Not Covered By Insurance.
 Again MT. Schurr held the floor, this time calling the attention of the school board to the fact that they have engaged a glass enclosed vehicle
 
 and there is no insurance carried. as protection to the town against possible accident. The matter, after a time. drifted towards Mir Claudelin, who. fl was stated. was first engaged to carry five children to school and not eight
 MT Collins then made a brief speech in which he said he could not understand why the conveyance was engaged in the first place if it could not at least carry all of the small children on the road. The meeting was then adjourned and what action the school board will take on the mat ter is not known.
