rest period until late in the after noon.
 Collectively speaking the pupils and their parents have accepted the situation most philosophically and are said to be satisfied with the ab- normal conditions. The high school is creating a big problem for the school officials and without doubt a new and commodious building will be constructed within the near future to care exclusively for the high school curriculum. To date the high s~hool has advanced to senior institution wherein the pupils are taking the regular graded courses of the regular city high schools. There is a class in second year senior high school work which will advance year by year and two years from next June will witness the first graduation from the Berlin High school
 School Board Meets Tonight.

It is expected that the su- perintendent will have something in- teresting to say in regard to the High school. Other routine business will be transacted
 Tree Causes Large Commotion.
 A tree, standing peacefully and quietly near the American Paper Goods plant in kensington, is un- knowingly causing large amount of trouble for the residents of Kensing- ton The tree stands directly in the rath of progress for the water main which is being laid on the street, Tho problem presents itself either to cut down the tree or to detour around it. Officials of the Paper Goods Co. oppose the cutting of the tree, while interested citizens oppose the detour, which would mean an attendant de- crease in water pressure. Work on installing the main at this particular point has now been held ap for several weeks and residents of that section are becoming disgusted with the delay. The contractors are evi- dently in favor of cutting down the tree as it will mean a straight main with resulting equalized pressure. 1tl is reported that a change in the course of the main will cost an ad- ditionsl one or two hundred dollars. There will be hearing of members of the district, with officials of the Paper Goods Go. and the tree warden at o'clock tonight in the library.
 Getting Out Directory.
 Alfred Wyman is representing the Henry NJ. Meek Publishing Co.,, of Salem, Mass, which is getting out city directory for the towns of Berlin, Cromwell, and Rocky Hill. The company lists the various individuals of the town besides all the business firms in the town. Mir. Wyman IS tusy now getting a complete list Of the manufacturers and other business persons here and will then make ms canvass of the town for family names. The directory should be finished and in use within 8 few months. It WILL be much needed improvement In town, especially for strangers who are seking individuals here. When the post office and business houses are closed, 1t is very difficult to obtain correct information as to the dwell- ing places of many of the residents and l city directory located in vari- ous places will do away with the ln- accuracies and inconvenience.
 c. o. P. Delegates at Convention.
 Francis Deming, and c. w. stevens left this afternoon for New Haven, where they will attend the state con vention of republicans, slated to start in the Elm City tonight and all day tomorrow. The local men were not instructed In their voting, but 1t is practically as- sured that they are machine men and backing Roraback. No contests have vet been reported for the con vention and the stand which the local delegates will take Is therefore un- known, Berlin is counted as ma hine town in almost every case and proved itself so at the recent conven- ton in Plainville when J. H. Trum- bull, d Roraback man, was elected to he state central committee.
