Teachers To Serve
AS Principals Aides


year 1934-35, 1T is likely that the
idea will be continued indefinitely.
The purpose OF the change in the
rule concerning the hiring of Sec
retaries Is to provide work for
some Of the unemployed teachers
in Waterbury.
Clerical Rule Suspended
At the present time the secre-
taries are selected from the grad
uating class at Wildly high school.
The positions are given to the pu-
pills having the highest scholastic
standing. The practice was estaD-
lished as a reward to the best stu
dents and to encourage the stu
dent body to strive for the APP
pointments.
The vote Of the board provides
that the rules and regulations re-
lating to clerical assistance in the
elemtary schools, be suspended
for the school year 1934-35 and
that the superintendent of schools
be authorized to fill such positions
by temporary assignments from
qualified young ladies on the reg
ular waiting list"
The board also adopted a recom-
mendation Of the committee on
school houses allowing twelve days
pay to Mrs. Catherine Murrican
and to Charles Teller. Both were
absent due to personal illness.
No Action On Lockers
Although admitting that better
locker facilities are needed in the
high schools so that pupils cloth
ing might be better protected. the
same committee recommended
that the proposition Of procuring
such equipment and making re-
pairs be deferred for the present
due to the lack of funds. The sug-
gestton was made as to the lockers
by Commissioner Florence B. Web
ster at the last meeting. She OBJ
jected yesterday to the committees
report and asked that Mutual Aid
men be put to work repairing the
present lockers. She was informed,
however, that even this arrange
mems would necessitate the ex-
penditure of money for ma
terial and that the present bud
get does not provide for this ex-
penditure. Mrs. Webster then stat.
ed that she has q plan which she
will offer later.
Janitors Assigned.
For the present the board Or
dered all but two doors at Crosby
High school locked after the school
sessions begin. AS there are panic
bolts inside the doors the locking
of the doors will not constitute
any fire hazard, but will keep
outsiders from entering and
tramping through the corridors
The board ruled that
the East Main street door, nearest
Maple street. and the door on Wa
ter street, leading to the supply
room, shall be left unlocked, that
the janitors be assigned to patrol
the corridors on each floor during
school hours as further protection
to property, that. the supply clerks
be held responsible for ali per-
sons entering by way Of the Water
street door and that all deliveries
be made at the latter entrance.

school activities showing that per-

ious organizations and individuals

adopted. The list of persons and
