EDUCATION CALLS
TO MORE CHILDREN
Value Of Three Rs Responsible
for Crowded Schools

Thirty years ago the school au
thorltlcS of this city Were faced
with the problem of finding accom-
modations for he high school j.. H.
pills. Seventy five extra seats We're
installed in the academic building
ing of school on September 6, 1890,
the $50 pupils present found them
selves in crowded quarters,
This week and for many weeks
previous the school board brought
the information home to the people
of this city that the school is again
crowded, but instead of Installing
Is extra seats the board has asked
that a new building bc constructed
which will join that building which
housed the pupils in 1895 and a
newer building constructed in 1917.
An idea OF how much the high
school population has increased
may be CLEANED from the fact that
the enrolment at the opening OF
school in September will be 1,o47.
Pictures City's Progress
The story of the rapid increase
in enrolment at the high school is
one OF the progress of the city of
New Britain from every angle.
There are more people in the city
today than there We're in 1898
without doubt, but that alone is not
the reason for the overcrowded con-
ditions. The parents OF children to-
day have been educated to the
value of education. Every year
there is an Increase in the number
of junior high school pupils who
decide to enter Senior High school
and receive the limit in education
offered by the city.
In former days there was only
enc elementary school building
which cared for the population in
the northwestern section OF the
city, the Bartlett school, and that
WAS far from being ovcrcroWded.
Today besides the Bartlett school,
the Washington school the Israel
Putnam school and the Benjamin
l. III hlIu SCHOOL are bulll Ill lll'it
section of the city and they are
so crowded that the limit Of accom-
modations is expected soon.
Changes Made in 1888
In 1883 changes to relieve con-
ditions were made in the Rockwell
school by Superintendent stuart

why NJ. Buillot invariably asks his

How can restore my gray
hair to it's original color?"
This question recurs over and
over in my correspondence. My
humble suggestion is that you
think twice before deciding to dye
your tresses their original tint. or
course, the color Of hair cannot
literally be restored. We do not
understand natures secrets well
enough to change gray hair to
approximately it's original shade.
It is well to remember, that when
the hair naturally changes it's
hue, skin also grows slightly
darker or more pale as the case
may be, which keeps the color
scheme harmonious. This fact
should be taken into consideration
before 'impulsively changing ones
type by means of dyes or bleaches.
There always have been, how
ever, and possibly always will be,
many women who insist that tor
perfectly good reason they must
dye their hair. To these my adj
vice il: Have the work done by
an expert. Amateur work in this
line is seldom safe or successful.
