each year from the Chamberlain and Smith schools, and that if a building such as. the Roosevelt is to be filled for Junior high school 1t will be necessary to draw pupils from the Smalley or Rockwell buildingss. In his opinion. the western section of the city is more in need of a junior high school than is the eastern sec- ton. Proper handling of the school population at the Senioh high will point the way for use of the build ings for some time to come. the speaker assured.
 Criticism was made of the scheme to unite the academic and vocation al high schools on the ground that it would be joining a shack with a building which never was properly constructed for high school"
 Further criticism of the school committee came from the lips of the former mayor when he charged that present buildings have been sadly neglected and are in need of general overhauling.
 Councilman Sablotsky resented use of the common council as a rubber stamp for propositions advanced by other departments of the city gov- ernment. He called attention to a resolution he presented many months ago ill an effort to require all boards to give the council ample time to study the details of their propositions. As servants of the pub lie it behooved the members of the common council to make a thorough study before taking vote on mat ters of finance. the councilman warned, and to make such study possible. he moved that the entire matter be postponed for one month. His motion failed of passage. the vote being 16 to 10.
 Alderman Judd took issue with Councilman Sablotsky on the ques- tion of whether the matter had been thoroughly considered. reminding him that the newspapers have re- corded the progress of the program for additional Senior high school ac- comm odations for the past six months.
 Asks for Original Report
 The alderman remarked that while the common council has but two reports before it, there were actually three surveys made. and he inquired why there was no report by the first survey committee appointed by the mayor. This group, com- mittee of 14 members. had voted favorahly. For the information of the council, the alderman reported that the entire committee had agreed that more accommodations are needed at the Senior high school.
 George Levitt, member of the school committee. was given the privilege of the floor, and questioned the accuracy of the figures quoted by the mayor, claiming that a tele- phone check-up made shortly before the meeting disproved them.
 Alderman Walter R. F'alk was in- clined to postpone action because of the amount of money involved. He expressed feeling that the amount was considerable and that no action should be taken until the proposals were considered from all angles.
 Alderman J. Gustave Johnson made it known that he could not conscientiously vote for bond issue to build an addition to the senior high school. He preferred. he said, to have the elementary school prob lem handled before any attempt ii made to handle senior high school needs. Although he appeared not to be inclined to enter into controversy practice to require pupils of high school age to attend halliday ses

 There is to be no essential diff ference between styles of winter and the new fashions of spring. Skirts will be bit longer, waist lines bit higher.

 For afternoon wear capes will undoubtedly be popular, particu larly when they are worked uI in silk crepe and satins for sum mer Many of these wraps show the scarf collar, straight tic collar attached only at the bach and meant to be tied in bow at the side of the neck.
 The new evening dresses stress printed chiffons. which are showr in large floral patterns as wei as large plaids.
