TRADE SCHOOL
 IS EXPANDING
Enrolment 100 Per Cent. More
 Than in 1920

During the past month the New Britain State Trade school reported total of 35,oO0 student hours, This ia practically 20 per cent, larger fig ure than for any month during 1920 and 300 larger than the average monthly hours during the year 1918.
 The total enrolment of the school is now over 400, an increase of ten per cent. over the enrolment of 1920. Besides the boys enrolled there is waiting list of about 35 boys and young men who desire to enroll but cannot be accommodated.
 The standard of the school has been raised, and apprentices unable or unwilling to meet this standard are being dropped from the school thus eliminating the boys who are not talk ing advantage of the opportunities offered. During the past few weeks some 12 or Is students have been re- quested to withdraw and their places have been filled by others. It has been announced that this policy will be continued, as during the winter months when the apprentices in the
 
 inside the building the crowded con ditionG there will be even worse than at present. It is estimated that the school is now carrying an overload of sixty per cent. This naturally de creases the efficiency of the school and the amount of training that can be offered the boys. Although the High school turned over additional rooms to the trade school this fall, the present quarters are not adequate for the installation of any additional equipment and no new departments can be added.
 The proposed addition to the school plant on Franklin square, which is to house the trade school, thus taking them out of the present building and permitting the High school commerce and practical arts to expand into the space now occupied by the trade school is needed very badly. It is to be hoped that the finance board will see it's way clear 10 approve of the school committees recommendation and permit con- struction being started in the very near future.
 In speaking of the matter H, s. Hall, director of the school, stated that his instructors were carrying a tremendous overload without com plaint, but necessarily with q decrease in efficiency, and that they could not be expected to carry the present mum e Der of students for any length of time, and that unless additional quar- ters were to be provided in the imme- diate future, it would be necessary not only to refuse admission to all applicants, but to drop from the school large percentage of those now attending.

WOMAN JITNEUR
 VIOLATED RULE
But Judge Appreciates Service
 and SuSpendS Judgment

In consideration of an apparent at tempt to comply with law, Judge B. w. filling suspended judgment this morning in the case of Mrs. Helen Muter charged with allowing a. iitney bus controlled by her to be driven without proper markers. Mrs. Muter is the owner of one of the lines run ming to the east end of the city.
 Had Been Warned
 Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lam rher had warned Mrs. Mutcr several times, he told the court, that she was not to operate q second car with the markers she had taken from one out of service. Investigation disclosed that the second car, a Reo was real ly the car registered whereas the Winton bus, that had been on the streets for several weeks, was not reg istered as a public service car.
 Through Lawyer M. A. Sexton, Mrs. Muter explained that she is required to furnish service and that she thought it the better plan to put a substitute bus on the street than dis continue a run while waiting for markers. She had been to the auto mobile commissioners office in an effort to secure markers, she said, but they were unable to supply her.

IS 86 YEARS OLD TODAY
George Root Remembers When City Had Six Brick HouSeS-Wcnt Coasting Where High School Now Stands.

In commemoration of his S6th birthday anniversary, George Root of SC Maple hill, was presented with a dozen white and yellow chrysanthe nuns at the supper and meeting of the Mems Brotherhood of the South church last evening. MT. Root, who makes his home with his son, Ernest Root, at Maple hill, has spent the en- tire S6 years of his life in this city.
 He was born in the neignborhood of what now is Franklin square and when q boy was fond of coasttng down the hill upon which the high school and state trade school build ings now stand.
 One of the most vivid memories of New Britain's early history re- tained by Mir. Root is the fact that during his boyhood there were only six brick houses in the village. Since New Britain has become a city, one of these buildings has disappeared but five of them still stand.
 He is one of the oldest members Of the South church, served during the Civil war in the Sth regiment, Conn eCtiCut Infantry, and is an active member of Stanley Post, G. A. R.
