Principal L. P SIade, of the New l Britain High school. will speak at the PlailVllie Grammar school Tuesday afternoon of next week at o'clock ! in the eighth grade room. MT. Slade has been secured to speak under the auspices of the Bay View Reading club. His topics will be mainly about
 school affairs and will be of great in- terest to the public. His subjects will
 be: "The Teachers Menace" The Educational Bills Before the General Assembly" and 'The Junior High School The public has been invited to attend the meeting. Mrs. Harry A. Castle is president of the Leading club and has sent out invi- tations. The Womans club of this town, of which Mrs Henry Trumbull is president will be present.
 MT. Slade's subjects will be of keen interest to the residents in view of the fact that the Junior High school now being planned in New Britain will have direct disposition with the first year pupils of the local school. It will probably mean that first year High school studies will necessa rily have to be taken up nthe school here and the study of algebra and other important factors taken up in the first year in New Britain will be car ried out. An additional room will be necessary to take care of this division with another teacher for the classes. It will also mean that by having this first year study taken up here, great expense will be saved in car fare and tuition.
 There is no other place to study the higher examples of freshmen classes within a reasonable distance from the town. The people of the town who are interested in the project are urged to attend and hear Principal Slade speak.
 Reward For Burglars.
 With no active developments hav- ing been made as yet towards the capture of the robbers who entered the local stores Thursday night, reward of s100 for their apprehen- sion has been offered. Richard Nor ton. proprietor of the Plainville Hardware store, one which was en- tered by the burglars. is offering the reward for their conviction. The grounds of the burglaries were looked over. thoroughly by Constable Marine yesterday, and little or no clues at all had been left by them. The i opinion of many of the residents are 1 that the work was that of local per- sons, while others believe ii that of 1 strangers. Whatever developments | will be made in the case, a thorough | will be made.
 Factory Not to Close.
 Henry Trumbull. treasurer of the ! Trumbull Electric manufacturing, 1 stated today that the factory will l not close for an indefinite period as i to that effect had been cir ,ulated about the town. He branded l -hnm as absolutely false and could 1 lot ascertain where the source would 1 come from. There had been a few employees laid off several weeks ,go, but no more have been let go ;ince that time. The factory has been working on a. 45 hour week schedule for the past month or more md will continue to do so provid- ng orders warrant such. However. IS for the plant closing entirely, MT. Trumbull emphatically denies these umors.
