SCHOOL QUESTION
 IN OTHER CITIES
Buildings Being Closed, Wages Cut, and Teach. CTS Out of Employment
THE LOCAL SITUATION

Considering the conditions that exist in other cities, the officials in Waterbury deserve credit for managing to carry on up to the present without serious trouble over funds to meet it's obligations. They are having hard item of 1t trying to tide through the deprcs- sion in New Haven, Bridgeport, New Britain, and almost all the other cities in the state.
 In New Haven 1t has been decid- ed to close five grammar schools as a result of the need to cut ex- penses in order to balance the budget. It is also expected that special teachers, particularly in the junior high school, will be dropped.
 An attempt will be made to take care of some of the teachers who would otherwise be dropped by re- quiring most of the regular teach CTS to go on part time and in that way to spread tho work around among them all.
 Bridgeport is planning to close its normal school, which has been operated by the city with state aid, as part of its economy move. A pe- tition signed by 2,000 including parents of the girls who arc being trained at tho school, has been pre- scnted to the board of education protesting against the proposed closing.
 The retention of married teach CTS whose husbands are holding down good positions Is being found fault with all over the state, but 50 far they are holding on, and do not intend to quit unless they have to. In this as in other things, Wa terbury is in better shape than It's neighbors, 1t being well understood that when Q girl gets married her position in the school is vacant.

 Miss Kathleen Crowley, director of the Waterbury Girls club, was granted permission to use Crosby gym January 24 for basketball game at which admission will be gratis.
 The following communication from Superintendent Condon was read:
 During the school years of 1930- 1891 and 1931-1932, the health de- pertinent and the department of education working in close har- mony and cooperation, undertook, and carried through with much success, system of distribution of milk for undernourished children in the elementary schools of the city. This Humanitarian work was made possible through subscrip- tions offered by individuals and groups who are interested in the problem which confronted the schools.
 Thus far this year, no distribu- ton has taken place, not because of any less need for 1t, but rather because subscriptions had fallen off very materially. However, Dr Godfrey reports that he now has on hand a sufficient amount of money with which to undertake the work, and cherishes the hope that with the resumption of this activity, many people or groups of people, will come forward to carry on the work successfully to the end of the present school year. therefore request the honorable commissioners of the board of edu- cation that the superintendent of schools be authorized to act with Health Officer Godfrey in promot- ing tho distribution of milk in the elementary schools in the same manner as was done by the late Dr Donovan during the past two years.
 It was voted that Mir Condon be authorized and empowered to act in conjunction with the health of- ficer in the same capacity that Dr Donovan filled last year.
 Commissioners Mrs Florence B.. Webster brought the boards att tention to tho fact that Miss Ed mee Pretat, 0 teacher in Water- bury schools for AS years, was ser iously i'll at her home in Holland. The committee on finance reported bills of $4,916.14 for fuel which wore voted to be turned over to the board of finance for payment.

Successful Diplomat

] By 1924 Litvinov had secured | economic relations with all Europe and actual recognition with most ] European countries. In 1927 he fthrew the disarmament confer ence into a panic by rising and making Q, plea for immediate and complete destruction of every pos- sible instrument of war on land and sea-" Diplomats were not used to straight-from-t -the-shoulder prop ositions! IF May this year he secured g non-aggressive pact with France, declared to be the peak of his amazing achievements. At the world economic conference he signed non-aggressiv pacts with nine other nations and pre- pared the way to American recog- hilton by discussing Russia's pos- sible purchase of 70 per cent of our cotton.
 In addition to being such a suc- cessful dispiomat, Litvinov is prob- ably one of the best family men in Russia. He, Ivy and their two children, a boy of 12 and girl 10, the children's dog, Brandy" and one servant live in four little rooms over the garage behind the former sugar kings palace. It is lin the latter place that they enter tain on state occasions in rooms hung with faded tapestry, rich masters paintings, rich carpets and high backed state chairs. But that is only for such occasions. Their own four rooms and bath are furnished precisely like any Russians rooms--davenport with velour worn ragged, weird chairs that don't match, hat rack for visitors clothes, and washed curtains.

A HatIess Appointee

Ever since that day Litvinov has been in and out of Russia as the official Soviet minister in Europe. First he served as assistant com- missar of foreign affairs under
 Tchitcherin, and since 1923, as
 One of the most interesting anecdotes told in Moscow about Litvinev concerns his appointment as cemmissar, apparently the only vanity the man has Is his hat. AL ways, from the beginning of his Bolsheviis activities, he has never been without European version of our 10-gallon hat, a black hat with big brim. During lean years he wore the same one until it dropped to pieces. But he al- ways wore 1t. When rumors of Tchitcherin's resignation from the position of commissar were in the afr, everybody in the organization was wondering who would get the job. Several thought they had 1t. F No one had mentioned Ltvinov. So he was surprised one day to pick up the phone and hear Stalin say, Come on over. want to talk to you about your new job. He was so excited that he literally ran to Stalin's office and only when he reached there and moved to take his hat off did he realize that in his haste he had left it behind him!
