Mortality Records Quoted By Dr. Cook In Address Before Presidents Asso- citation in New York.

N,w York; Dec II tP'-Thr uor- rality among life insurance policy holders in inc United States indi- cate that 49,ooo more persons will havo died this year than in 1928. rr. Henry ". Cook, vice president and medical director of the North western National Life Insurance company told the convention of life insurance presidents yesterday. The natural increase in population ac- counts for only l5.00o of the num- Der, he said.
 Dr. Cooks statement was based upon the mortality records of 52 leading life insurance companies for the first 10 months of 1929.
 2.3 Per Cent Increase
 "lt appears said Dr. Cook, that the death rate among policy holders increased from S22.o per 100.0u0 in lG9S to S40.7 in 1929 This means that there will be 1S.7 more deaths among each 1oo.00o insured persons this year than last year, an increase Of g.& per cent.
 "The application Of this per cent age Of increase to the population Gcath rate for 1928 indicates that the total deaths in the United States during 1929. will approximate r. 4@4,o0n, as compared with 1,145.ooo during 1928. an increase of 49.000. T. last years death rate had been maintained, there would hay" been 1J.b00 more deaths because Of the increase in population. The incrcas- ed death rata of this year, therefore, will result in the death Of 3d.000 more persons during 1929 than would have occurred if the 1928 death rate had continued"
 The increase in deaths from in nucnza alone. Dr.. Cook said, more than accounts for th" years increase in tho general death rate
 Homicide Rate Unchanged
 "rhc homicide rate remains sta tionary. while there was an increase in the suicide rate from l&.1 10 l3.4 per 10o,0oo,
 "The reduction in the death rat" from tuberculosis especially con- tlnucs it's brilliant record This dis casc no longer holds the terror ii once did. for people ar" learning not only tn" means of protection against it but also the importance" Of is early diagnosis and treatment Again this year, there has been q reduce rion in the death rate. Tuberculosis will claim %.i fewer persons per 1oo,0oo in 1929 than it did in 1928. The once feared typhoid fever has been almost eliminated. The death raj" this year has again been re duccd and will be only 2.2 per loo,- uou."

Some of the schoo! board mem bcrs felt there could not be much interest or demand for the course and others said they knew Of little good which would come of 1t. When it. was found that there is no eX- pense to the school departm 1t was decided to continue but to keep in mind the fact that the plan was still in an experimental stage.
 No Extra Tax Burden
 In explaining why the salary com mittee of the school board voted against a proposed salary change for the teachers, Secretary Henry T. Burr said this was not the time to add d burden to the taxpayer. He said the New Britain school system could get all the teachers it needs under it's present salary scale.

Educators to Make Further Study
 Of Conditions At Stanley School;
 Parents Would Close Up Portables

He favored tabling the matter.
 It was brought out in the discus sion that the state has never voiced objection to the school building. This is one of the three New Britain schools which are used as training units for the New Britain Normal school girls.
 Iron Instead of Wood
 A petition from property owners and merchants of the northern part of Main street asking that an iron fence be placed on the old Burritt school property instead of the wood- en fence was referred to the finance committee. The wooden fence was taken down during the recent side walk improvement. The fence would be similar to that used at the Cen tral Junior High school.
 Toundrymcn's Course
 A letter from the Foundrymen's association asking that course be provided at the trade school for foundry work was read. The state could not provide the accommoda- tions at the New Britain State Trade school but suggested that the local board look into the matter of getting accommodations elsewhere. It was stated that the Malleable Iron Works would provide room for the class.
 The trade education committee which was referred to as the OVer- worked committee" was delegated to study the matter. Mir. Day, who is chairman. said he learned from manufacturers that they arc anxious to obtain better class of men for the foundry trade which is starting to die out"
 Chairman Halls Letter
 In a letter to the board relative 10 the high school addition Chair man Edward r. Hall of the board of finance and taxation voiced the opin- ion that the recent petition of the school board for S50,000 10 cover additional expenses over the original appropriation would be taken up lat CT. He advised the board to get it's items down to q contract basis and give definite figures on the proposed expenses instead of estimates
 These figures have been reached and Chairman King was authorized to ask for another hearing.
 Letters From Ames
 In a letter which accompanied his financial report of the New Britain Hartford Public High school foot ball game on November 23, Comp troller Newell $. Ames of the Senior High school said more care should be exercised at the Senior High school in creating expense in anti Cipation of receipts of this annual game. He said public interest is 1e- clining and some year weather may not permit this game to be played. This will leave the school without the greatest source of sports in- come, he said.
 He is also in charge of the eve ming school correspondence course. So far the interest has not been great but Mir. Ames believes the lack of interest IS due to presen; conditions. He feels confident the plan should be given further tests before a decision is reached. So far three have enrolled, Q school teach CT, a stock clerk, and a machine operator. All are taking the book keeping course.

Although the school board, at it's monthly meeting yesterday after noon, did not take a definite vote
 relative to the Stanley school dis. trict petition which asked for clim- ination of the two portable build. ings, several members spoke unfav- orably of it. It was sent to the school accommodations committee for study.
 A letter from the Parents and Teachers association was received in which the body admitted it would favor the elimination of the port able building but it was satisfied with the manner in which the school board is handling the prob- lem.
 After two communications were heard the school board came to the conclusion that the stand taken in each conflicted. Committeeman
 William H. Day, whose home is !n the district. said he believed the let ter from the Parents and Teachers association was sent to offset the petition.
 The petition asked that the audi torium be divided into class rooms as a temporary relief for crowded conditions and that an addition be constructed as permanent relief. School Supt. Stanley H. Holmes
 was asked by Chairman Joseph NJ.
 unI 0T tions committee if conditions in the 1 portable schools were as bad as were described in the petition. ! Mr. Holmes said he did not think
 the stand taken in the petition was
 sound. He said the school authori-
 ties have done their utmost to make i things as pleasant as possible m
 the two portable buildings. They
 are placed together and are raised | from the ground. The floors are
 we'll covered and the class and cloak
 rooms are well heated.
 Mr. Holmes recalled the objection i voiced by teachers and the princi- 1 pal when a recent proposal was made to cut the auditorium into
 class rooms. He said some of the petitioners probably do not realize the need of the auditorium. They 1 think it is used only occasionally, l Mr. Holmes continued.
 He said the real solution Of the
 school problem is the construction Of building on the Oak street plot. Committeeman Day said he agreed
 with Mir Holmes in every point but
 thought a change should be made ! in one classroom which houses both
 sixth and second grade pupils. He
 said it would be a mistake to take
 the action mentioned in the petition.
