 Concerning the high schools the lengthening of the high school day makes it possible to close two full time and one part time places in Leavenworth high school now held by substitutes and aids in the ar rangement which permits the trans fer of five Crosby high school teachers to positions in Leaven- worth and Wilby high schools now filled by substitutes, thereby re- ducing high school expenses by ap- proximately $7,S00. Transferring 8 teacher from Continuation school to the opening in Leavenworth high school caused by MT O'Meara's $ resignation increases this saving by s2,000.
 By reducing the time given to sewing in the grades we have also been able to shift a grade teacher of sewing to a sewing opening in Leayenworth high school with only $25 additional cost. It is planned to rearrange the drawing work in the grades in order that Miss Mad elyn McGill may include in her schedule the overflow drawing classes in Leavenworth high school.
 In the grade department the closing of Lincoln school which now has a substitute teacher and the transporting of it's pupils by bus to Mulcahy school where there is ample room for them reduces ex- penses by about s1,200. and the transfer of a teacher from Rockville school to East Farms school to a place now filled by substitute nets over $500, and also eliminates the unsatisfactory double session con- dition existing now at Rockville school. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Helen Tracy of Croft school will be filled with out making any new appointment thus saving an additional $1,600.
 The recent resignation of an as- sistant kindergarten teacher in the Abbott and Welton schools adds $1,S00 to the saving since the registration in the kindergartens in these schools can be handled by the present kindergarten head alone.
 The committee on teachers ap- proved the recommendation that the state board of education be re- auested to designate the City oi Waterbury as requiring a director o1 adult education for 1933-1934 and that John G. Gilmartin be appoint. ed supervisor of evening schools and director of adult education fol the coming evening school year al a salary of SIP per night. In ad- dition to the above duties Mir Gil martin will also act as principal of Duggan evening school with no additional pay.
 The committee on teachers ac- cepted the following resignations. to be effective at the close of the school year; Miss Jennie M. O'Neill, principal of Duggan, Dorothy Worth, kindergarten assistant of Abbott and Welton schools, and William H. O'Meara, woodworking teacher of Leavenworth high. The resignation of Miss Helen Tracy, Croft school teacher, was also ac- cepted, that becoming effective yes terday.
 A delegation of approximately 20 mothers of children attending Lincoln grammar school in Platts Mills attended the session protest ing against the proposed closing of the school, but left feeling more when the board tabled the matter for two weeks.
 Mrs Janet Norton in addressing the commissioners stated that ir 1914 Professor Bristol decided Platts Mills should have a school and gave a large lot to the city for it. The city of Waterbury has given Platts Mills very little, there
