 Frank Bacon was absent at the meeting of the committee held last week, and John Mckeon was not pres ent at the meeting held ast evening.
 That there are two factions in town, one divided against the other on The question of reappointing Mir. Sho- walter. is T well known 'act Those who are in favor of retaining him for another year claim that he has done excellent work and that he has put the Berlin schools on q par with any others in Connecticut in a town :he size of this one. He has carried out an extensive program since coming 10 Berlin and it is felt by many that he should be kept in town.
 Those arguing against the reap pointment of Mir. Showalter claim that he is too progressive for this town. to offer the school committee 10 work with.
