SCHOOLS REPORT
UNW|E[DY CLASSES
Fifty to Sixty Pupils in Single
Body Cited, Due to Con-
i, gestion.

Unwieldy classes of so and 60 pupils
have been organized in some of the
seriously congested public schools as
a result of the heavy enrolment of
the first two days of the new term, ac-
cording to information given Supt.
Frank w. Ballou today by his super
visory officers. AS these classes are
much too large for one teacher, plans
will be made to reduce them as soon
as possible, either by splitting them
into two sections or by putting them
on part-time schedule. A class of 40
pupils is recognized as the standard
size.
Daily reports from the school Of
f1cers in the field are keeping the adj
miniStrative officials in close touch
with the enrolment gains and the
serious points of congestion.
64,4S0 Total Enrolment.
The latest statement on enrolment
showed that 2,S01 additional pupils
were added to the rolls on the second
day of the new term, bringing the
total to 64,4S0, an increase of 2194
over the second day of school last
year. The elementary school enroll
ment shows an increase of 1,44S over
the second day of the 1924 term, while
the high schools reported a gain of
554. The normal school increase is
1872
School officials have not become
alarmed over the overcrowded condi-
tions because of the relief which will
come through the $l9,000,000 five-year
building program. The additional ac-
commodations provided by the build
ing program. however. will not come
until the beginning OF the 1925 term
next September.
Plans in View for Overflow.
Meantime, the authorities are con-
f1dent they WI be able to provide
accommodations for the overflow
through use of portables, oversize and
part time classes, and the use of the
buildings which have been condemned.
With the completion of the build
1ngs called for in the first installment
of the five-year program officials
point out that the congestion will be
progressively reduced.
The present school enrolment of

 STARTS DRIVE
Credit Men Start Campaign For
 Better Understanding

Chairman Edward Qgren of tho publicity committee of the drive for SlC,O0O which the American Asso- ciaton of Credit Men is conducting this week in the Hartford district, starting today, has issued the fol- towing statement:
 In an effort to check the in- crcasing amount Of commercial crime in the United States which now results in a loss to the countrys business of over 2jO millions of dol lars annually, the National Associa- ton Of Credit Men is conducting an extensive campaign for the purpose Of raising a fund Of million dol- lars 10 be expended in augmentIng the work now being carried on by is department Of investigation and prosecution in experiencing and punishing the commercial crook.
 Already the association has done admirable work along this line. 10 the extent that it's finances have permitted, with the result that in SIS cases already inyesigaod over 800 indictments have been secured, 227 convictions obtained with large number of cases still pending or awaiting trial,
 For the last four years failures in the United States have amounted 10 well over 500 millions Of dollars an nualIy of which from 4O to 50 per- cent have been estimated to he tainted with fraud, an alarming in- crease that call for instant action on the part of the business public
 Business men so far have taken steps 10 protect themselves and their business from burglars and petty thielcry while on the other hand they have allowed themselves 10 bc robbed regularly by a type of crook that has been operating in the frauduont bankruptcy field because Of the comparative ease with which . large sums of money and merchau- disc may be stolen with hut slight risk Of detection or punishment.
 The work of the association in promoting the drive on the conner ciaI crook has been heartily en- dorsod by Secretary Hoover Of the department of commerce, Andrew McIlon secretary Of the treasury and Attorney General Sargent as well as by the business interests Of America.
 The compaign in the Hartford district is under the direction of l., W. Young. treasurer of the Stanley Works who is now organizing for the drive which will start May II and continue for one week."

people who define the Christian faith in terms of the aggressive assertion that VIC have all tho truth, and that those who do not go 10 our church or who do not believe with us upon thls, that or the other point in re- gard to matters that you can easily think of yourselves, arc wrong, The papers in the last year have given more attention to tho dsscnsons among Christian people who dificr on the so-ealled point of fundamcn- talism than they ever have before in the history of the American news paper, and the tragedy of it all is that Christian people have often de- fined thoir faith and their Christian ity In terms of the degree to which they asserted their differences from other Christians, and tried to show that they were superior to the other.
 People have been organized with in the last year or two entirely upon the basis of their antipathy 10 cer- tain other people in this country, to certain other people Of another race and another religion. That organiza- tion Is capable, perhaps has done, great good; but think it Is a sad characteristic of Christianity in this day and generation if peoples atti- tude Of superiority is tho main basis of our association together,
 Enthusiasm is faith that is put 10 work. Enthusiasm is the spirit Il mother shows when she goes down into the valley Of the shadow of death for the birth of her child. She is willing to make that sacrifice. En- thusIasm is what mother has when she is willing 10 give her life in the time of sickness in anything she can do for that boy or girl of hers.
 Motherhood stands in the think ing of men today as being absolute solflessness. and willingness 10 put ones self fin the others place and take his ignominy or illness or do anything that one can for his own. heard Of a mother once who. when her epitaph was being talked of, said with a smile that she only wanted 10 so live that one thing could be said in her epitaph. and that was this, Here lies one who never lost her enthusasm,' who never lost that divine spark that made 1t possible for her to do more than human ct ta l
 Mothers never 20 on an eight hour day. Men may fight for the cight,hour day on their job; but no mother that l over heard Of has ever pleaded for an eight hour day. In lho vision of motherhood the two things are absolutely incompatible.
 What good is Christianity unless We men and women who profess it translate it into action with a bit of the spirit of the mOther-loye in try ing 10 make this thing work exactly as the mother tries to make her boy measure up to her high ideals. Motherhood stands for an cnthu- siaStic faith that translate it all into action. and Christianity stands for that same thing too, If it does not moan something different and definite in our everyday actions it isn't worthwhile,

C0NY STUDENTS
RECEIVE AWARDS
FOR SCHOOL SERVICE

The students Of Cony High school
VINO were cited at the last chapel and
were to receive awards of pins In nom
athleticc activities are now receiving
the pins from Manson l.. Gordon, pres
ident Of the Student Council. These
pins were delayed in arriving here
and could not be presented at assem-
bly,, as WAS intended and as will be
done in the future.
Pins are awarded in several school
activities. taking the place of special
letters which were formerly given to
students neriting special mention.
The student council during the past
year has standardized the athletic let
tiers and has chosen the pin for the
various non-athletic awards, so that in
future there will be standard regula-
lions governing the awarding of let
ters and pins both with regard to the
kind of award given and the require
ments which must be met by the as
pirant.
The pin for music, which is given to
those participating In the school or
chestra, has as it's design a bar of
music and features the Cony High
school seal. as do all the pines. The
debating pin bears a scroll, the Cohy
Cut pin shield, and pin which is
given to any who have been of con-
spicuous service to their school has
the Cony seal upon a black enamel
background which bears the word
Service"
The pins are all of very beautiful
design and will serve as reminders to
the students Of the happy times they
have had in working for their school
as well as Of the gratitude which the
school has expressed for their serv-
ice In this manner.
