 Waterbury is one of three major cities In the state reporting a logs in the enumeration of children of the specified ages. Local figures Indicate a drop of 412 as Of Oc- tober 1884, compared with statis- klGs for the previous year.
 Other cities reporting losses are Bridgeport, with 520; and New Haven, 1,705. Forty-six towns report increases, two report no change and 121 report decreases. The only large city to indicate All increase is Hartford, which tops last years enumeration by 215.
 The total number reported for the state in 1884 is 351,209, con- fInuing a steady decrease from 1929 when the figure was 384,530. The state report confirms the opinion of Dr Thomas J. condon, superintendent of the local schools who some time ago maintained that the decrease was due to corr responding drop in the birth rate:
 Inasmuch as the number ot births has decreased each year since 1920 with the exceptions of 1921, 1924 and 1880 and is still de- creasing, the number of children enumerated may be expected to decrease for several years, the re- port states. The decrease from 1920 to 1898 amounts to 35 per cent

 @. And despite this handling you found nothing of value? A. No.
 Fisher was leading Kelly
 through the same questions he asked earlier witnesses on the res- | pective merits of several types of

 animation. Q. Did you take picture of

State Authorities Move to Make School Houses Com muuity Centers" Decrease of 4I2 in Waterbury

While the closing of local schools because of the enumeration de- crease seems somewhat remote at present 1t is by no means improb- able, Dr Condon said to-day. Sev. eral rooms in various schools have been closed for lack of adequate attendance, although 1t has not been found necessary to abandon entire schools.
 Community Homes The stae board recommends that local school boards "organize their communities in order that the needs of the whole community may receive proper consideration in planning the future organizations and scope of the public education program"
 'The imminent decrease In eic- mentary schools populations" the report concludes, opens to mahy towns opportunities for improving their community life in ways that were not possible during the years when increases in population on the elementary and secondary age levels made necessity rapid school expansion"

COW ADVTsES FARMERs

Hartford, Conn, Feb 6.-(UP)- Gov Cross told members ot the farm organization of the general assem- bly, today to proceed slowly" in determining changes in the milk and liquor control acts so as not to create harmful effects.
 Regarding liquor, he said. the highways are lined with restaurants and taverns and conditions in the cities are different than smaller communities.
 He characterized taverns as threatening Ito become injurious to the young people" and advised the legislators to consider the liquor law changes in the light that the working man can get a drink as well as members of the legislature"
 TO change the present milk con- trol setup, he said, would mean merely to shift administration to another department.
 He outlined a plan in effect In England whereby the government controls the milk and a board fixes prices Surplus Is distributed among charitable institutions and schools.
