quate plant were erected. The cloak room and toilet facilities are made quate. Many of the classes are held in an unfinished attic poorly lighted and ventilated, the approaches to which are dangerous should there be any alarm of fire. If this portion of the building were used for factory purposes it would be condemned by law. There are no facilities for a lunch room, no rest room for teach- CTS and no sick room for emergency cases. There are no grounds connect ed with the building and therefore no opportunity for outside activities such as gardening, outdoor games. plays, etc.
 Dormitory.
 Concerning the need of dormitories there is no need to speak in these days. The influence of dormftory life upon school spirit, upon the char acter and health of the students, upon the enthusiasm and effectiveness of alumni associations cannot be ex- aggerated. At the present time it is simply impossible to find suitable boarding places in private families for more than a very few who desire them and these few are compelled to pay from twenty-five to fifty per cent more for board than the more fortu- nate students in neighboring states where dormitories are provided. Fur thermore, those who commute are paying nearly twice as much as they paid a few years ago.
 Future Development
 At present the State of Connecticut is training teachers only for the ele- mentary grades below the grammar school or the junior high school. There. is a great demand at present for we'll trained teachers for junior high schools, for teachers of rooms providing for defective and abnormal
New Britain herald., 1921-03-10

children, for teachers of evening schools and Americanization classes, as we'll as for teachers of special de- partments like art, music, etc. These needs the state at present complete ly ignores. Furthermore, the state should provide a continuous year for teacher training in order that those who are teaching during the regular school year may carry on studies dur ing the summer session, thereby i'm creasing their worth to the state. The central situation of New Britain and the comprehensiveness of the pro- posed new plant both in buildings and grounds would make this school the ideal school of the state for the ac- tivities just mentioned.
New Britain herald., 1921-03-10

Appearing before the committee on education in Hartford yesterday aft ernoon Principal Marcus White of tho Normal school in this city ex- plained the need of a new building in New Britain. The proposed build ings when finished will represent an expenditure of approximately s1,5o0,- 900 and will be located in Stan- ley Quarter. The set of buildings will be divided in units, so that one can be built at time and it could be completed after appropriations.
 Principal Marcus White advanced the following data in his arguments for a school:
 Statement of Conditions.
 The number of new teachers that will be needed by the schools of Con- necticut next September will prob ably be over eight hundred. The number that will be graduated at the states normal schools will be about two hundred and these will be. for the most part, teachers for the lower elementary grades. All attempts to increase the efficiency of our schools by increasing teachers salaries, by tenure of employment, by liberal pen- sions and generous state grants Will end in failure if an adequate sup
 
 provided. An increase in the salaries of those teachers who are now at work will be a good thing but 1t will not increase the supply of trained teachers, and the lure of higher sal nries will be of no avail unless the state is prepared to train those who wish to become teachers. This it cannot do at present in anything like q proper proportion to its needs.
 Present Demands
 The state normal school at Now Britain was established in 1S49. It ia one of the oldest normal schools in the country. For many years it was the only normal school in the state and 1t has at present over three thousand living graduates. It suf- tered in it's attendance like all the other educational institutions of our through the abnormal condi- tions created by the war. The tide has turned. however. and the de- mand for admission to the school last was far greater than the school was able to meet. Yet in spite of the fact that many applicants could not be received the increase in att tendance was larger than that at any other normal school in New Eng land, many of those entering taking long and tedious railroad trips daily or finding boarding places In sur rounding towns in order that they rnivbt attend the school. That part or the state that suffered most was the country town which was not within committing distance of tho school. Twenty years ago sixty towns In the state were represented in the of the school. This year only twenty-five towns are represent cd.
 The Present Plant
 The present normal school ouiio- Ing Is about forty years oid ana was erected at n time when the needs of n normal school were very fnper- fcctly known and the attendance was very small. It is today totally in- ndenuate for the traininK K ~of>oeh -

The legislature of 1919 was con- vinced of the soundness of these ar- guments and appropriated money for purchasing land and providing plans for a new plant. A beautiful tract of land about twenty-five acres in extent has been purchased and the plans are now ready.
 If the committee acts favorably on the appropriation for the school the report will go to the senate and be referred to the committee on appro- priations for routine action of that body.
