Discussrs School Hours

Editor, New Britain Herald;
Will you please allow me to ex-
press my gratitude for the splenolo
report in tonights Herald on the
Parents and Teachers meeting at
the Junior High school last night.
When I came to New Britain, the
first thing l wondered at was the
long school hours, for / had been
used TO the fve-hour school day IN
Now York.
When my little girl entered the
grade school, she lost four POUNDS
because of the long hours and re-
member speaking to the teacher
about it, She told me 1t was not at
all unusual for the children to lose
weight when they started school as
thc hours were very long coming,
as thnv did, after kindergarten
session Of two hours. On another oc-
casjon, | spoke to a teacher about
the long hours and she said 1t was
MP 10 the parents 10 do something
about it. Now at last something Is
! being done.
have spoken to many mothers
about the hours AT the Junior ana
! Senior high schools and each and
everyone agreed with me that the
hours were not only too Ions but
also poorly planned. In many a
family the children from different
schools come home for lunch or din
ncr az different times, and it is, 10
say the least, inConvcnient, ! fail
TO see the logic of having the Senior
high school session begin at $40 q
III. and end at 11:90 a. m, when II
might inst as we'll be uniform Will,
the Other schools. It also seems tc
me that $40 n. m. is late enough
for any child 10 be in school
whether he he in a grade school Of
higher.
Surely good health and sunshine
and play should count for some
thing In a child's life and as resi-
Dent Of New Britain and mother
| fcol the more publicity you give e
this matter. the quicker our chill
drcn will reap the benefit.
Yours gratefully,

BUS LINE PROJECTS
AFFECTING CITY

The contentious demands Of in
dependent and railroad controlled
bus lines are getting close TO home.
The Public Utilities Commission is
hearing arguments regarding bus
line franchises between cities and
towns close TO New Britain, notably
Plainville. Bristol and Southington.
One Waterbury company would
operate between Milldale and Hart
ford by way OF Southlngton and
Plainville; the New England Trans
portation company would operate
between Hartford and Danbury by
way OF Plainville, Bristol. Thomas
ton. Waterbury. ct al.
Louis Durwin, an Independent
operator would run buses between
New Britain and Waterbury by way
of Plainville and Bristol.
Whoever gets the plums, Plain
vile and Bristol evidently viii be
well supplied with bus service.
The city Of New Britain can
not see bus lines established be-
tween Plainvillc, Southington and
Bristol to either Hartford or Water
bury without contemplating the ef-
rccts it would have upon travel be-
tween those places and New Brit
ain.
W. O not wish 10 be mistaken
for the party who once tried 10
keep back the ocean with a broom
and therefore have no desire 10
stand in the way OF bus line de-
NcIopmcnts that may threaten the
existing status quo of tranSporta-
ton between the cities and towns
involved. If such lines are estub.
lshed, however, there will be un-
doubted need for speeding up OF
otherwise improving the transpor.
iation system between at least Bris
tol and New Britain. At prcscn

PLAISVILLE'S PROBLEMS
IN REVIEW

The bright little town OF Plain
vile, which is reached so quickly
by automobile nowadays that Il "a
like being part OF New Britain. APP
pears TO be struggling with prob
lens o, sort that cause It's 5000
or so citizens much 10 think about.
The towns problems have been
much discussed lately and It Is a
pleasure 10 record that steps have
Been taken to start Improvements,
These Improvements have begun
in the school system. Until a year
ago there was only one school in the
town; now there are two. This looks
like progress. But in addition to
that a high school contract has just
been awarded and work on the
building will be started In the
spring. This looks like more prog
ress, and OF very commendable
kind.
The high school situation, OF
course, was prccipitated by the fact
that where previously 1t vas posi-
BILE to send pupils TO New Britain
and Bristol for attendance at the
high schools In those cities this is
no longer permissible. Plainyille
high school pupils in the two cities
mentioned can continue their
studies until graduated, but no new
pupils from Plainville are being ac-
cepted. Planville, therefore, Is
forced to build It's own high school
and Is buckling down to the re-
quirements In first class fashion,
The structure. when completed, no
doubt will be credit to the town.
The Plainville school committee
has been working at top speed, but
there are those who believe 1t will
be hard for the town to gain
upon the increasing school popula-
ton. Just now the first two years
of high school are being held In one
Of the grade school buildings, max
ing classes of between 80 and 60
pupils each. The people Of the
town. Of course. are willing TO suffer
with such Inconvenience until the
high school building is completed.
One of the bones Of contention Is
! the single sewer line In the business
section of the town. Private homes
are denied access to It on the
ground that they would overtax it,
/ limitations, yet when a new BLOCK
was erected upon the site OF a house
the new block was permitted TO con
tinue using it.
The town residents are justified
in uttering criticisms regarding tn
unsatisfactory sewerage dsposa
SYSTEM In this respect the town il
behind the times. An improved anc
modern system that will serve ever!
home in the town Is necessary. Th'
present system cannot last mucf
longer and if the town fathers arr
wise they will begin investigating
better methods.
The sewerage system difficulty i
the chief blot on the towns ad
ministration, although the waite
being obtained from private com
pany Is declared by many citizen
10 be unsatisfactory.
