4O CHILDREN WILL
 GRADUATE JUNE 16
Exercises in Berlin COn6reSa- tiOnal Church This Year
PARENTS MEETING SAT.
Will Endeavor to Give Parents 8 Clear Understanding of What High School Mcans-Horse Stages Run away Near Railroad Station.

The graduation exercises Of the Kensington Grammar school will be held this year at the Berlin Congrc- gational church, 1t was announced today by Miss Mary E. GrisWold, superintendent Of schools. The cxer- cises, which will mark the gradua- ton Of about 40 pupils, will be held on Wednesday evening, June Is, at s o'clock.
 Miss Griswold stated today that the schools have outgrown the towE hall as a place in which the children may bid farewell 10 Berlin school days. The graduating classes are growing each year and the accom- modations in that building are not such that all may attend who so de- sire.
 Last year graduates were limited to two tickets each and the general public was unable to attend because Of the lack Of seating space. The public, according to Miss Griswold. is growing 10 appreciate the eXer- cises and each year sees an increas- ing desire on the part Of the popu- lace 10 be in attendance and 10 take part in the program by lending their support to the affairs.
 Rev. Samuel X. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congregational church, has given permission for the hold ing of the exercises in the auditor ium of that institution, and it is eX- pected that the affair will be much more impressive amid such dignified and refined surroundings.
 Meeting of Parents.
 A meeting will be held at the Kensington Grammar school on Sat urday evening at o'clock, which has been designed especially for the parents of children who plan 10 enter the Senior High school in New Britain next fall. It will be the plan Of the meeting to acquaint parents with conditions at the New Britain school and to bring them to under stand what to expect of the children after they once enter the institution.
 Miss Adele D. Murray. prominent in political and educational circles In the town, will be the speaker of the evening. She will deliver a prac- tical talk, in which she will outline just what may be expected of the children, what they will have to contend with, what studies they will have and other matters which l should be of vital interest to all para | ents. Parents of children who are of | high school age, should attend the | meeting. since it will be the means | of opening their eyes to the system employed in high schools of larger cities.
 Those in charge of the meeting wish to make it plain that the meet ing will deal with none of the flow cry details of education. It will be a business meeting and the talk will l. deal with practical work in high | schools. Parents may ask as many l questions as they may desire, re- garding work at the high school and what the child may expect. Miss Murray, who is a member of the faculty of the New Britain school, will answer any question propound- ed

of that decline at the close.
The market emerged from a condi-
tion Of decreased trading and irregu-
lar movements during the middle Of
the week when there was a develop
mcnt of strength and in the next
two days many issues moved up with
the same VigOr that had been shown
prior to the acute collapse early in
March. In the first few days, how
ever, many stocks made new low
records for the year. but the offerings
were easily absorbed and when de-
mand increased and became more
vigorous the supply was so small as
TO restrict trading until materially
higher levels were established.
The excessive supply of money was
reflected in heavy trading in the
bond market. the sales Friday

BANK PAPER APPEARS.
Departmental Bank Gets Out Four
Page Sheet Covering Activities.

Departmental Doings is the
name of a new four-page publication
Just produced by the Departmental
Bank, the aim of which is ito make
a closer relationship between this
bank and the departmental folks for
whom it's services are primarily in
tended" In defining personal eco
nomics, the new publication says:
Its the principal that governs not
only how to stretch income to meet
expense, but to stretch it further to
provide that for every dollar made
an agreed proportion be saved-and
as bankers term it, a "compensatlng
balance" be created. This balance
should be established and added to
from pay day to pay day, not merely
as a savings, but as an investment.
Don't just put something aside
for the future, and then rest satisfied.
The future is too undependable. You
can't sit down and figure what your
living coSts-and income-will be ten,
twenty, thirty years from now. But
you can save steadily. and build up
a fund which the bigger it grows the
better protection it will assure you."
