The following is the third of series of articles about Norwich. as the result of survey of this city made by an in- stigator for the Anti-Saioon league. It will be published in the American Issue-the official organ of the Anti Saloon League, on Monday. By special arrangement, The Bulletin prints it in advance:
 Hard times are less hard in Norwich for two classes of people than good times were-that is, they are less hard when they are dry as well as hard. The two classes affected are the extremes of the financial scale: the poor who have but little margin in reserve and who are easily driven over the border line between sef-support and need of char ity: and the folk who are richer in this worlds goods and who are called upon to make good the deficit in their poorer nelghbors' budgets through charity.

CONY HIGH IS
TOO CROWDED
SAYS BURR|LL
Rapid Growth of Our
High School Is
Problem
New Superintendent Addresses
ROtarians-Value Education
Growing in Public Mind
Praises High Standard Au-
gusta Schools - Hartford
Doctor Tells of Health Work

The most serious OF the school
problems that citizens OF Augusta
VIII have TO face is concerned with
the High School. Cony High has an
enviable record for its fine degree of
scholastic ability and its high repu-
tatlon In athletics. Citizens of Au-
gusta ought to be proud of the school
and support it in every way possible.
But the marvel is how so many bows
and girls, can be squeezed into the
ciassrooms at the proper time That
requires great deal of executive
ability considering the crowded con
ditions there.
This was the gist of the message
brought to Augusta Rotary at its
noon meeting Friday at the Augusta
House by Fred w. Burrill. the city's
new superintendent of schools. His
address contained a number of points
that should be considered by Angus
ia folks and held the undivided in
terest of the Rotarians and their
guests
That these crowded conditions are
found not alone in Augusta. Mr.. Bur
rill pointed out, stating that in the
place from which he had just come
-Brewer--the high school attend
ance had increased in the last 10
years from $50 to 800. while the
population had increased about 10
per cent In Bangor when the new
high school building was built to &C
comodate 1000 pupils there was some
complaint that it was too large, but
