MAY TEACH FRENCH
And Other Foreign Languages In
 Lower Schools

French or any other foreign Ian. guage will be permitted to be taught in the elementary schools of the state for period not to exceed one hour each day, when the re-arranged bill for the teaching of foreign languages is brought before the general assem- bly,
 The one hour concession was made by the committee on education in ad- vance of the hearing on Wednesday, which brought i50 French Americans Co Hartford from towns in Windham and New London counties, and with a sprinkling of representation from Waterbury and Torrington.
 The bill as originally drawn would have entirely prohibited the teaching of any foreign language in any pub lie or private school in Connecticut in grades below the sixth, and tEis was what stirred the French-Ameri- can Union of Connecticut, represent ing 10000 people, into action with the satisfactory result obtained.
 No representatives of groups speak. ing other foreign languages than French appeared at the hearing.
 Among those who addressed tn, committee in favor of the bill, as ii will be reported out of the committee were Representative Luther M. Keiti and Postmaster Archibald Macdonald Of this city. Representative chariel s. Hyde of Brooklyn, Representative Frank Fenton and Pierre Laramie O Wiilimantic, Representative Wake and Bodo of Plainfield, Representa- tive E. L. Darbie of Killingly.

PEOPLE TAKE SIDES
 ON SCHOOL PROJECT
Meehanicsville to Meet With Opposition at Coming Town
 Meeting
School Board Rescinds Vote Recon mending $35,000 Appropriation

il public opinion at this early date is any indication of what is going to transpire at the special meeting of the town of Thompson, to be held next Thursday afternoon at the town hall. then the proposal to erect a new four room school building at Mechanics vile. at a cost announced as S3b, ,0O0, will be voted down overwhelmingly. The northern part of the town feels that its school needs are more acute than those of Mechaniesville. and if any building Is to be done, then it should be done at North Grosyenor- dale.
 People Don't Agree
 On the other hand, the people of Mechaniesville declare that their vil- lage has needed new and larger school for a long time, and because it has asked the town for nothing of moment in years, that il IS entitled Co consideration in the present eircum- stance. There may be no fireworks" at the town meeting. but it is very ap- parent that powerfully phrased sens timents and convictions on both sides will be expressed during the meeting.
 In last weeks Patriot was news story telling of the vote of the town school committee, at the regular meet ing, not only endorsing the plan for the new Mechanicsvile school. bat recommending an appropriation of S35 900 for this project.
 This vote was rescinded at a special meeting of the school board Tuesday afternoon, but the board went on rec ord as agreeing that Mechaniesville needed a new building. but did not fix any figure for the cost of the struc- ture.
 School Buildings Crowded
 The superintendent reported the largest attendance on any one day in the year I922-23 at Mechaniesville to be 63, and the average attendance from the opening of the school year to March 1 to be 54 at the present two-room school building. ln view of the fact that us many as 5s children have been crowded in one room at North Grosvenordale during the pres ent school year, it would appear that additional accommodations were more urgently required in that dis trict. That the school committee has been aware of this condition is proved by it's request at the special town meeting called immediately before the adjourned annual meeting in Feb ruary for $500 to acquire additional land adjoining the school property at North Grosvenordale.
 It was, however. tacitly agreed un- officially in conference with infiuen- tial townsmen that a building prO- posal should properly be laid before the voters of the town at the regular annual town meeting. IL is the opin- ion of members of the school commit tee that a new school is desirable at Mechanicsville, owing to the bad To- cation of the present building, but many people considered that the pro- posal for a four-room brick building Is extravagant and unealled for at present.
