The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-08-04

Several important matters come up for action at the meeting of the board of education to be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock. One of the things to come up for action will be arranging for the handling of the large number of pupils who will enter the high school with the opening of sessions next month.
 Present indications are that be- tween 800 and 900 students will be increased by about 100.
 When making up the budget for the coming year last March the board discussed at length starting afternoon sessions to relieve the crowded conditions. This would en- tail a large expense and 1t was the hope to save this money if possible.
 At the board meeting last month Superintendent Chittenden informed the members that Principal Charles P. Shade was working out plan whereby the increased enrolment might be handled without holding afternoon sessions.
 The board held an informal meet ing yesterday afternoon in Super intendent Chittenden's office at which time matters to be taken up dt LO-HlSntS seSSlOH WSES IdAhSo over.

August Johnson, fiery Independent on the board of war den and burgesses started an end. less amount of discussion pro and con among the taxpayers of the borough following the board meet. ing Tuesday night when he declar- ed that he believed borough fore men should pitch in and do some work instead of standing around on the job. /
 There are some who side in with Burgess Johnson, while others be- lieve that a foreman's position ts to direct and that his value Is meas ured by the manner in which he handles workers and what is ac- complished on a job.
 They point out that foreman would not be as efficient and would not be in & position to keep track of what was going on if he was working with the gang.
 Those who favor Burgess John sons suggestion believe that fore- man could direct the work and still keep things in hand.
