Record Enrolment
 At Teachers College
Late Registrants Must Reside in Private Homes;
 Faculty Increased Under New FOur-Year Plan

expected to pass the $50 mark. Numbering more than a. score of men and women, the faculty this year will be 75 per. cent larger than last season.
 Conversion of the institution into four year college by the state board of education is responsible for the crowded condition. The normal schools at Danbury, New Haven, and Willimantic are main tained at full capacity, with the first three years in the elementary curriculum given at each school, but for the fourth year all students must now come together at the Teachers College, at New Britain. The four institutions will pre- sent work in the same integrated curriculum and the standards for administration and promotion for the qualifications of instructors and salaries will be the same at all four. Hereafter, all graduates will be those with four years of prepar- ation, and the degree of bachelor of education. The united fourth class this year numbers nearly 160.

Council Considers Kennebec
Hill Annexation

Outside of the regular business
routine of the council which met
Wednesday night, was the discus
sion Of the matter of annexation of
Kennebec hill. However it was not
put to vote. 1t would seem that
the objection was whether the san
atorium should be annexed. Supt.
Phillips appeared before the coun-
Gil and made it plain that they did
not insist on being annexed, but
what they wanted was an ample wa
ter supply for their institution. 1t
is hoped that this can be worked
out, since the sanatorium is surely
entitled to this; and it can be taken
care Of at no great expense, and in
time the water rent would meet the
cost. 1t is believed that if the pres
ent petition as presented, asking
for annexation, can not be modified
to meet the terms the council men,
bers desire in the matter, a new
one will be presented.
