plan. the school committee voted tc establish the 10th year lnBerlin in- stead of having the children so on to the Senior High school in New Brit ain. This vote was taken in recog- hilton of the fact that such addition would not complicate the situation for the present school year, although 1t was understood that this arrange ment could not be continued beyond the present school year.
 Upon the revised schedule in the Junior High school every room in the school is in use every day for eight periods of recitation, save the re- modelled office, which is idle for six of the 40 periods in the week. A care full study of,the registration for the coming year shows clearly that other quarters must be provided for next year, or change made in the plan of operation.
 Reason For High School.
 There are sound educational req sens why Berlin should proceed with the establishment of a full Senior High school, to be operated in con junction and jointly with the Junior High school. These reasons are set forth in the annual report of ;s' School Committee. Berlin's high school population has reached the point where the establishment of the proposed school would give Berlin. not the small weak high school that some fear. but a combined high school of 300, with nearly 100 in the senior department. A school of this size is large enough to permit the offering of advantages that some par ents have feared would be taken away. At the same time it is small enough to allow the close personal touch that has characterized our Ju- rior High school during the past year.
 We could hardly hope, in view of the heavy expenses in the kensington and Worthington Fire Districts, to have our recommendations for new school building accepted on purely educational grounds. There is an- other reason for so doing, one that appeals to the pocket book. an eco- homie reason. Until last year the
  not having a local high school re- bate of $40. plus half of the transpor- tation expense, for each child who attended a non-local high school. The last legislature withdrew this aid. At the same time we are faced by in- creases in tuition rates. Middletown, to which we sent few students, in creased from SSO to S120 per pupil for the year, while New Britain ad- yanced its rate from $40 to s20o, this being the second increase within as many years. These two factors operate to double the tuition cost.
 Cost of Maintaining Junior High.
 "A study of the costs in our own Junior High school, where the ex- pense per pupil for the current year will be s76.5s, together with the costs per pupil in high schools in this state of similar size to the one we propose, make it very clear that he can main

 Meeting of Sclectnien on Saturday y
 Town Meeting Tonight-Other
 Items.
 R. F.. Showalter, superintendent of schools in this town, gave an inter- esting address before members of the Motherhood club at the community house this afternoon. His talk served to explain the High school problem In this place. His speech follows:
 Although the fact has been often repeated, the people of Berlin do not seem to grasp the growth in school population which has taken place during the past decade. In that in- terval the school population has prac- tically doubled. Most of this growth has taken place within the last four years. The growth has not ceased. It is still going on. The bringing in of water and other conveniences means that it will continue, at a more rapid rate.
 With two exceptions all Of Berins schools are full to capacity, or more. The East Berlin school is pupils short of its normal capacity. The Percival school could house a few more pupils. The rest have reached the limit The Junior High school has exceeded it, so that the school was put on the double platoon plan.
 No Provision for Housing.
 Tn spite of the fact that the school population has practically doubled, the Town of Berlin has made no pro- vision for housing the growth, save through the purchase of a temporary portable building. Because of war conditions abandoned rural schools were reopened, basement rooms were used for class rooms, class rooms were made of offices and storerooms. These were permissible as temporary measures. The war and war con- ditions are past and permanent hos j. ing must be provided.
 After careful study of the sit uation, when it had learned that the Junior High school would be com pelled to operate on two platoon

He was exactly correct and this is
why. The church has to do with the
spiritual and social uplift of human
ity, the school is mental, physical
and moral developer of the child and
youth. The newspaper, while first
comes last, is the servant of both
school and church in the forwarding
of the things they stand for and fur

office and house rent, bear the whole
expense of the undertaking without
