Approves Recognizing Frats

Approves Recognizing Frats
 "one of the disturbing influences in the senior high school for some years lay in the presence and the apparent influence of secret fra ternities. This created an unwhole- some situation which was probably due In large measure to mutual mis- understanding on the part of the fraternities and the school admin istration. The size and influence of the frsternitits was probably over estimated on the part of school of ficials, while their importance was possibly magniied in the minds of the fraternity members. The action of the school committee, changing the policy of the committee from one of general approval of all fra ternities to that of approval of all such as appear to be worthy of ap- proval was apparently wise step. Thus far the new policy has seemed to produce only good results. A re- cent canvass shows that the entire membership of all fraternities totals 12o pupils, or iz per cent of the entire membership of the senior high school. A statement of the purposes and principles of each or ganization has been submitted to the principal for examination and ap- proval. and the attitude of all fra ternities has been such as to secure the approval of the principal in a circular sent recently to parents of all pupils of the senior high school. Junior High Schools
 During the year 1924-25 the con- t!nuity of work and policy In the junior high schools was subjected to more or less strain because of changes in principals of both schools. At this present time, how ever, more stable conditions exist and there is promise of an era of unusual growth and improvement. Already both schools have reached the limit of capacity and the time

is not far distant when q third junior high school must be opened to ae- commodate the needs of all pupils of Grades VII, VIII and K. Elementary Schools "The elementary schools, except for the handicap of the lack of school room to fully accommodate all elementary school children, have enjoyed a year of good work and creditable achievement. The im- proved and enlarged accommoda- tions provided for the Osgood Hill. the Smalley. and the Stanley schools will afford relief for overcrowding, not only for these schools, but for the Nathan Hale, Washington, and Bartlett schools as well, The as- surance of increased school room space In the Monroe, Lincoln, East Street, and Smith schools Is cause for great satisfaction. Attention should next be given to the needs of the Viets district, where a building of at least ten rooms should be erected.
 Praise for Instructors
 Ability, loyalty to high profes- sional ideals, and devotion to the service of youth are characteristic of the teaching staff of the New Britain schools. These have made possible such achievements as have been made. To the school commit tee, for its wise direction and It's courteous consideration. I desire to record my personal acknowledg- ment."
