Britain High schools is a perplcying problem confronting the local school authorities. It Is believed that the next school term will present many new problems duo to the ever increas- ing attendance not only at the Plain- Vile Grammar schools, but also at the Bristol High school and the Junior High school in New Britain, which tn- sttutions accommodate the gradu- ates Of tho local eighth grade rooms
 special meeting was held recently by the Bristol board of education at which Superintendent Karl A. Reiche gave report on the shortage of room in the Bristol institutions and definite ly announced that no Plainvile grad uates could be allowed to enter the Bristol High school next fall.
 Superintendent Rcichc's Report.
 The following in brief is a report submitted by Superintendent Reiche on the conditions which cause the ac- tion taken by the Bristol board of ed ucation in barring Plainvlle gradu- ates:
 At the present time there are about so Plainville pupils attending the New Britain Junior and senior High schools. Also there are 6S pu- pills in Plainvile eight grade classes of which about 40 will attend High school next fall. 1t has been report ed that the New Britain schools may not be capable of accepting any pres | ant Plainville eighth grade pupils next | fall. With this possibility of taking | 10 eighth grade pupils from Plain vile this fall, must also be consider d the possibility of taking some of he present Plainville pupils attend ng the New Britain High school, lbout 80 in number, which will make the total number of pupils to be talk n in Bristol something like 70. Then, aso, there might be more Plainville pupils who graduated from summer schools in Planville last year who | did not go to High school as they did not care to go to New Britain and could not come to Bristol.
 The problem was therefore to con- sider the possibility of planning to accommodate about 75 pupils from | plainville next fall.
 Cannot be Done
 | the Bristol High school, and in further view of the fact that this l number of Painvile pupils is fast increasing, 1t was therefore the unan- imous opinion of the Bristol com miesioners that Bristol would be un- able to accept any Plainville pupils l next fall.
 Best for Plainville
 >"The commission also felt that it was best for ;he interests of Plaln- yille, that considering the continued growth as it has been, it probably would come to pass that before the present eighth grade Plainville pupils would graduate from the Bristol High school, which would be four years from the present date, the Bristol board of education would DC obliged to have the .Plainville pupils leave in order to provide room for the Bristol pupils. Therefore tt would be manifestly fairer to meet this situation now instead of permit ting them to enter and then before the completion of their four year term, find they could not remain
