 Bristol Bars students The present year will be the last during which any Plainville stu dents vill attend high schools other than that in this town. Al present
 there are q few at the schools in Bristol and New Britain hut this

 piis have been admitted from Plain- vile during the past three years, 1 bat those already there have been ! allowed 70 remain. Now they will be forced to leave In New Britain

 At the meeting of the school committee last evening Superintond-
 ent L. s. Mills reported that the state board of education had ap-
 proved the new high school after
 an inspection by Franklin E. Pierce state supervisor of secondary schools. The state police have also inspected 1t and found tho exits, 1 stairways, and motion picture booth | satisfactory. X meeting of the i building committee preceded this school committee session, and scv- cral minor chanrcs in tho high school were voted. I. was decided to install 9 250-gallon tank 10 heat water for the shower baths instead
 of 125-Gallon tank originally plan ned. Compohta instead of linoleum floors for the entrances were ap- proved and several minor changes were made Tn the locker rooms. There IS every expectation that the , building will be completed just about within the appropriation.
