There is a period in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Average Hu- man Being which is known as second childhood" when the mind weary and satiated with the complexities of life, reverts to the ways of early youth. In some this state does not make itself felt until late in life, and then entirely without the sane ton of the person involved.
 In others. however. this return to sion from the wiSrom of years to the carefree innocence of extreme youth is entered into with joy and thanks glVlng. These of whom we speak are none other than our worldly and decorouS High School Seniors.
 ESomDers and Pig-TaiIs
 There is a reason for the reversion or the sedate senior to childhood-s ranks Firstly, PigtaiI Day is an in stituticn of the High school a GUS tom established way back in the days when Henry Simnfonds was at the helm of the Hilltop school. Originally Pigtail Day demanded merely the appearance of girls m p.gtails and the boys in Buster Brown collars. Gradually with each successful celebration the affair took on the @sDect of hilarious masuuer- ade, untI today it assumes magni- tude of a Madi Gras. three ring cir GUS (wlth side show), and ''vodeviF' performance.
 One is not in it at all. at all, now adays, unless he or she discards all the hahll1ments that grown people have adopted for general wear for the regalia of earliest youth. If you are senior, dignity on is as unbe- coming on Pigtail Day as a Bolshe- VIk at a lawn fete. The words se- date and staid. always associated with High school seniors. are words nEt included in the mother tongue.
 The girls yesterday were adorable in their short gingham frocks, hair in long ringlets, pigtailed or bobbed, enthroned. Several carried comioally dressed Krazy Kat dolls, Teddy Bears and the like.
 The boys were regaled in short knIekerb ockers, Buster Brown col lars, ties a splash of red and green. Many went to extremes and appeared in classes attired in pink rompers.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
 STORM SIGNALS

At the request of E. E COrt- right. superintendent of schools, there is Fepublished hereWfth) on the school page of The Times the system of storm signals re- gently adopted for use in tho public schools, as follows:
 Single signals-One long whistIe--wiH have the follow ing significance: 7:45, no school in kindergarten and grades i, 2 and 8; 11:4O, continue session until 1 o'clock; 12:35, no school in kindergarten and grades 1, and 3.
 Double signals-One long whistle at both times: :45 and 7:50s no school in any grade; 12:35 and 12:4O, no school ill any grade.
 These signals d'efer to grady schools only. High schools win be expected to be in session. Parents must take the responsi- bility of deciding whether OF not, on any stormy day, it is safe for a particular child to attend school. Principals will use their own judgment as to the wisdom of retaining children who reacn the building, wet. judging solely from the standpoint of the health of the child. Children are not to be sent out in a heavy storm occurring at the close of any session,

 Moving Pictures
 Fifth, enlargement. if possible, of the field of motion pictures in the school system and the expending of S4,ooo for the installation of six motion picture machines in as many schools. The running expenses, in- cluding salary of licensed operator repairs, film rental. etc. would amount to about the same sum yearly for the six machines.
 The committees report. covering three typewriter pages, goes into the entire subject at great length. A CO., operative scheme, which might not work from a moving picture house managers viewpoint, is suggested. In event the board does not desire the expenditure of large sums for the extending of the moving picture field, the committee could seek to theatres in various school districts present films without cost. through cooperation of the National Bureau of Commercial Economies at Wash films without cost for the betterment of the industry and education of school children.
 One of the most favorable features of this plan Is that it could be car ried on without the aid of public funds. the report states.
 The committee finds that the use of portable moving picture macn1nes should not be encouraged as they are too cumbersome to handle in m owing them from one school to an other. However, the Pathescope machine, Which uses non-inf1amable Inn, is urged. This would not re- quire a booth. but the reels would not be of standard width. thus 1im- iting selections of subjects to the limited resources of the Pathe li- brary.

8 To provide each pupil with the rooms in which there are not over 38 pupils.
 f. To look toward the early elim- ination of pOrtables as unsuited to house children except as a temporary eXpedient
 5. To so equip school units with auditoriums and gymnasiunlS that training in social citizenship together with a larger and more varied pro gram may be insti uted. This will result in many schools being organ i2ed in the platoon system.
 6. To provide for growth in school membership in each budget based upon the experience of the past dec ade and believing that Bridgeport has not reached her limit of population
 The above policies have served as guides in the formulation of past and present budgets. Up to the present, the Board of Education has not at tempted to go beyond the minimum requireTn ents which allow only for the natural growth and elimination of halliday sessions and some of the most objectionable housing condi- tions.
 Present Housing Conditions.
 A survey of the elem entary school housing conditions reveals the fact that over one-third of the pupils are handicapped in some manner. These bandicaps are found in the occupancy of basement rooms. in the attendance in portabIes and in badly overcroWded rooms.
