NEW TRADE SCHOOL BUILDING WILL
 BE READY FOR OCCUPANCY w FALL

training of boys and girls for com mereial work and home making has been deemed to be one of the aims of the public high schools Recently the public has realized that boys en- tering industry and the trades have a right to expect Fundamental train ing for their life work at public ex- pense just as boys and girls who are to enter commercial life, college or home making receive training for their life work through the public school system.
 History of Trade School
 In 1912 New Britain started trade school and has since that pioneer per iod in trade education been a leader in this phase of public high school work. The new building is a monu- ment 10 the growth of the trade school and the service 1t renders the community, The trade school al- though financed largely by the state Is to all intents and purposes one of the constituent schools which collec- lively are designated as the New Britain Senior High school. In the trade school boy not only receives thorough training for the trade he in tends to follow but he receives more intensive instruction in mathematics and general science than the average boy receives in either of the other high schools.

All partitions within the build ing are to be of steel and glass. ex- cept fire walls surrounding the stair ways carpentry. pattern and automo- | bile departments. Through a novel floor plan layout a very small amount of room has been devoted to useless corridors yet every department is readily accessible and an unusually
 large number of exits have been pro- vided. all within the building, thereby eliminating the old style outside fire escapes, entirely. Another unusual feature of the building will be an in clined ramp which will permit of heavy machinery and material being delivered by trucks directly to the second floor where the machine, printing and electrical departments will be located. The entire top floor is given over to drafting and aca- demic class rooms.
 Part of H. s. System
 With the addition of this third building to the group of buildings on Franklin square, New Britain can boast of one of the finest Senior High school systems in the country. The system provides basic training for young men and women who plan to enter the trades or industry college or commercial life. For a number of | generations 1t has been a recognized | function of the public High schools to offer basic training for collegiate work and for the past decade the |

ALLEGED SPEEDER
 IS NOT IN COURT
State May Ask Mass. Dept. to
 Locate Michael E. Green

When Michael F. Green failed to appear in court this morning 10 an swer charges of reckless driving, Judge George w. Klett suggested that the State Motor Vehicle con- mission be notified so that reciprocity agreements win the Massachusetts department might be put into oper- ation in bringing Green to court. Green was operating a car with Mass achusetts markers, State Policeman A. N. Rutherford, who made the ar- rest. testified.
 Judge Klett also suggested to As- that drivers from out of the state be required to furnish bonds to guaran- tee their appearance in court. The ordinary procedure is to release such alleged offenders on their own recog- nizance.
 The state policeman was an eye witness to an accident at Elm and Chestnut streets yesterday afternoon. Greens car knocked two boys off bi- cycles. Policeman Rutherford esti- mated the speed at which the Bay State car was travelling to be 30 to 35 miles an hour.
 Judgment was suspended in the case of William Hill, charged with disobeying traffic signals. Police man A. F. Atwater arrested Hill yes terday when he cut through traffic after the stop sign had been turned against him. The driver said he was signalled to come ahead and since, according to his story. 1t Is nothing unusual for traffic policemen to use hand signals, he disregarded the sign.

Night school classes are maintained through out the winter months for young men employed during the day The trade school has been prominent recently on account of its very successful athletic teams, proving that it is not 'all work and no play at the school.

CUBA'S UNAVOIDABLE
 uLITERACY REPORT
Statistics Issued Following Taking of Census Shows Steady Increase
 in Recent Years.

Havana, Cuba, Aug 23.-Illiteracy among white Cubans between the ages of 10 and 14 years has increased 1855 per cent between 1907 and 1s1s,, and among blacks 223 per cent accord ing to an analysis by Diario De La Marina of date contained in the 1919 Cuban census, which has just been made public. The paper points out that this increase in illiteracy occur red while Cuba enjoyed self govern ment, and declares that it indicates a
 Fundamental crash" failure of the Cuban school system.
 The following figures are quoted by Diario De La Marina to substantiate Its analysis. The 1907 census showed that 7o,5 per cent of native white and Ga.9 of native black children could read and write. The 1919 tables showed a decrease in these percen- tages to 55.1 and AIS respectively.
 In pointing the moral of its analy- sis, the paper asserts that this Hitter acy imperils the republic. for the is- norant children of 1919 will soon be the citizens who will direct the coun- try's destinies
