 "Thc key to this treatment. the great essential, was realism. From the moment I read the completed script l realized how I must toll and think and strive for it. not the little realism of correct technical details, but that of verify in portrayal of hu- man characters.

| possible to do so. However, Secre- | tary Burr was of the opinion that
 the schools should not be conducted so that some persons could be given jobs The children should be considered, Mr. Burr said.
 Favor Local Teachers
 It was his opinion that the
 teachers committee leans backward
 in cases where New Britain girls are concerned. He called upon Mir.
 Holmes for confirmation of his statements and Mr. Holmes explain ed further the feeling of the couu-
 mittee on this matter.
 He said the elementary schools,
 with few exceptions are taught by
 New Britain women and that girls
 on this years qualifying list of New
 Britain Normal school girls were
 engaged as teachers. The list
 which includes all New Britain girst
 in the upper seventy section of the graduation class was exhausted.
 Those who are listed in this section are qualified by the authorities at the Normal school and are believed
 to be capable of doing the work,
 Sometimes, MT. Holmes said grad uates of ;he New Britain Normal school who are listed in the lower rart of the class get positions in, other towns and cities. In a year or two during which their work can he observed they are given places in the New Britain system, he said.
 Special requirements are necessary in the junior and senior high schools, MT. Holmes declared He said the New Britain school system requires that a teacher have one year of eX- pcrlence before shc can qualify to teach here. He said this would be necessary or the high schools would be crowded with teachers who are d few years older than the pupils and inc result would be that the pupils would be calling the teachers by their first names,
 In an effort 10 aid the New Brit ain girls. the school board tried q plan which gave six New Britain col 1t Go graduates an opportunity to get | ractice in teaching the two junior and senior high school, he said Five of this number were given posi- lions in the school system this year Mir. Holmes added. He said six more girls are now working on this plan and if they qualify they, also, will be offered opportunities.
 Four teachers were recommended for positions in the elementary anl junior high schools and of that Eumbcr only one was from this city. $ crotary Burr explained that thes, Wrre vacancies which had occurred after Sept. Holmes had left on his vacation and tn" appointm, mt WAS GOnc 10 fin their places. The cut ot town teachers are; Mary J. state. 1 Esther Collins, Hazel Lindsey and ] Ell&Hbeth Moss.
