 Interest in spelling Contest
 Announcement that the Berlin schools were to be allowed to enter pupils in the Herald spelling con- test 10 be held in the near future to decide who shall represent New Brit ain in the national spelling contest has been received with much inter- est in this town.
 There seems 10 be a feeling that the notice was hurriedly given but the explanation for this lies in the fact that application was not made by the Berlin schools until Tuesday of this week. Immediately on receipt of the application, provisions were made 10 accommodate the local schools representatives. Then, too due 10 unforeseen circumstances, the entire program has been launched later than was expected this year.
 When Miss Mary Griswold. the local superintendent Of schools, was interviewed this morning as to what plans had been made toward choos- ing the local representative she stat ed that, due to the fact that the schools were closed this week for the spring vacation it had been impos- sble to arrive at any definite plan. She was very certain in saying that Berlin would be there on the night Of the contest, however.
 The condition of the contest which allows one representative for every 100 pupils Of the eighth grade stand ing makes 1t imperative that the local presentative be drawn one each from the Hubbard school of East Berlin, the Blue Hills school, and the kensington Junior high school, which are the only schools in the Berlin system that have an eighth grade curriculum at present.
 The contes. will be held at the auditorium of the new Senior high school in New Britain on the evening of May q. The contest itself will be preceded by a half hour program by the newly uniformed orchestra of the Roosevelt school. D. 4. R. Pageant
