Fuel Administrator Advises Acceptance of
 Mixed Sizes of Coal

James D. Skinner. fuel administra- tor for Bridgeport, today advised househoIders to accept mixed sizes of furnace coal during the present short age. He said:
 Owing to the method of filling orders at the mines, the dealers are better supplied with egg coal and No. 1 buckwheat than with intermediate sizes It will therefore be necessary to deliver on each order for furnace coal eight per cent. egg and 20 per cent. No. 1 buckwheat, from which the dirt and finer sizes have been screened.
 Dealers will not mix the egg and No 1 buckwheat and drivers will, where possible, dump each size in a separate bin, so that each can be burr ed in accordance with directions to be issued shortly"

 STATUS
State Board of Educa- ton Admits Bridgeport Teachers to State Wide Rights - Every Graduate of Normal School Entitled to Ger tifiCate.

Supt. E. E. Cortright made the
 following statement today clari-
 flying the ruling of the State
 Board of Education about the ad- -
 mission of Bridgeport teachers to
 statewide rights.
 Every Bridgeport teacher who
 is a graduate from the City Nors
 nal School will have a right to
 statewide certificate. The
 same right extends to Norwich
 and New Haven where the City
 Normal Schools have already F
 been abolished. The statement
 is as follows:
 "Commissioner Meredith over the telephone today interpreted the reso- luton app caring on the books or the State Board of Education as of Nov. l, relative to the validity of the dt- plomas of the Bridgeport City Normal school as follows
 That the State Boards action was brought about by the notification to that board of the abandonment of the City Normal School next June.
 That such abandonment and the request to articulate the work of the junior year with the state senior year had resulted in an inspection of the work of the Bridgeport City Normal Sch ooi, the report of the committee showing that it was doing work con- parable with the work of the State sch oo1s.
 That the intent was to validate all diplomas heretofore or in the inn mediate future granted by the City Normal School, giving them as wide a. currency as would best serve the interests of the state, always i'll search of trained teachers, in view of the fact that if no action were taken such City Normal School diplomas might lose their current value completely.
 That the excess of teachers in Bridgeport while there were vacant positions in other parts of the state, became a problem of adjustment of resources to needs in SC far as the State Board of Education was con- cerned.
 That the broadest possible inter pretation was placed upon the City Noruia1 School diplomas that would best serve the interests of the state in the training and placement of teachers as well as the holders of such diplomas. and that such inter; pretation was intentionally broad enough to include the graduates of the now defunct Norwich City and New Haven City Normal Schools ii later application came from those teachers for state certificates on the basis of the city diploma now held by them"
