 Regarding the recent ruling of the state board of agriculture, Leonard H. Healey, secretary, said 1t was up to the individual fair associations to do as they saw fit as to allowing in nocent games of chance involving prizes, but no association which did allow them could benefit by the state appropriations for agricultural fairs. The state allows each fair association s1Oo for the first s1OO which It fur nishes, and $50 for each succeeding s100, with a limit of $500 for each association There are sfXty-two fair associations in Connecticut, some of which draw only $100 from the state and others of which draw $500

WILL PREPARE BILL
FOR TEACHERS PAY
Joint Meeting Tomorrow Will
Make 1t Ready for Submis-
mission by February 2.

The board Of education bill provid-
ing an emergency raise in pay for
public school teachers will be put in
form for submission before February
2 to the congressional legislative COM
mittees. at special joint meeting of
the special salary committee of the
board and the salary subcommittee of
the school betterment council at the
Franklin School tomorrow afternoon.
When these committees met jointly
last Friday and dissected the finished
draft of the proposed measure. it was
agreed to assemble again either today
or tomorrow with a complete new
draft in hand. There was to be in
corporated in the recast text certain
essential information gathered conf
riod by members of both committees
VIII Give Both Extremes.
These data have to do with the mini
mum pay that will be acceptable to the
great majority of teachers-the bedrock
minimum with all dickering eliminated
and the maximum pay for the teachers
that members Of the Senate and House
will grant. 1t was understood today
that the information has been gathered
and confidence was expressed that sal
ary schedule "A" would be revised in
various items. so that it will be satis-
factory to teachers, and at the same
time acceptable to Congress.
Unless the schedule is made salts
factory to teachers. it was declared.
there would shortly be many more
designations of teachers from the
schools. and that what is now criti-
cal condition will become chaotic
One week from today there will take
place in the school system whole
sale shift of $4,000 pupils. which will
tax to the limit the machinery Of the
school system.
About 200 pupils will be graduated
from the high schools. but about 900
children will enter the freshman
classes from the grades. All high
schools are now crowded far beyond
the maximum of efficient teaching,
and what is to be done with 700 ad-
ditional pupils is puzzling the school
administrative forces,
There will be held tomorrow. or
Wednesday meeting of the school
principals at the Office of Ernest L.
Thurston. superintendent of schools,
when a plan of class and school re-
organization for the new semester
will be worked out. 1t was explained
today that some classes will be or
ganized tentatively without teachers.
then If Congress finally does provide
additional teachers under the pending
deficiency bill these new instructors
will be assigned to the teacherless
classes.
After very close calculation the
school administration asked Congress
for 1872 teachers and two high school
principals urgently needed. The
House cut the figure 1872 to 66 in ap-
principals. What the Senate will do ia
the subject Of anxious speculation to-
day throughout the school system and
among all the organizations compos-
ing the National Capital School Bet
