NAUGATUCK
Wm J Baxter. COrrespondent-PhOne Naugatuck 3S-2

Naugatuck, May 8--A warning to the board of warden and burgesses to maintain a hands of policy as far as the school department budget is concerned, and announcement of an intention to ignore the budget as set by that board and approved by the 1reemen this week, featured the May session of the board of education yesterday afternoon in the high school.
 The session was one of the most lively in months, with suggestion that Q democrat be elected to the chairmanship of the board in place of Charles P. Rodenbach, republican, and another that the salary of Lean R. Corliss, supervisor of music, be cut 9l50, which would be given to a part-time musical instructor, being made.
 Superintendent of Schools Harold D. Chittenden brought up the dis cussion in regard to the budget with the statement that the board of warden and burgesses had re- duced the proposed budget of the school department by $3,400. The de- partment asked $l99,500 and the borough board cut this to $lo6, 100. Superintendent Chittenden explain ed this figure has been approved by the freemen.

Months Expense

The net expense of the school de- partment in April was 21,3ll.74, the financial report of the superin- tendent shows. This leaves Q bal- ance of about $174,788 left for the Ii remaining months of the 1iscal year. WPA repairs have cost $4bO.6l, carriage $2.25 and upkeep of grounds $3. 80, @ total of $465.66.
 The report of the school nurse, Elizabeth c. Neary, shows 13 schools visited, 2,OO1 inspections made, 20 minor injuries dressed, 4 class talks 4 emergencies, and 19 individual in- structions given. She reports some time was spent on checking cases of defective vision with many chil- dren examined. Some obtained glasses. The Red Cross aided great ly insecuring examinations.
 Miss Helen R. King, dental hy-
 gienist, reported 04 patients in the Red Gross dental clinic last month
 with g completed cases and $lO.55 in cash received. In her regular
 dental hygiene report, she shows 90
 were examined, and 90 given pro
 phylactic treatments with 6 class talks.
 There were 4l pupils in the nat uralization class in the evening school with an average attendance of 32.2O and the public speaking class in the high school had 30 enrolled with 21 as average attend ancc. The sewing class had an aver age of ll.5 attendance with S4 enrolled.
 The last general evening school class closed April p. Some pupils in the sewing class made suits for Easter and one student made a very fine spring coat. Mrs. Gertrude M. Madigan, director of evening schools. says she favors more vocational classes next year.
 Instead of operating one class T5 sessiong, better results are gained from three classes of 25 night units. She plans to start an afternoon home group soon.

Discuss Music Assistant

When the matter of changes in salaries of certain teachers where adjustments may be made because of irregular starting salaries was brought up, MT. Meegan asked the superintendent if the music super visor is kept very busy. The super intendent replied that MT. Corliss is quite busy with the work he has to do.
 Mir. Meegan pointed out that Miss Elizabeth Flaherty, teacher of seventh grade in Salem school. has a certificate qualifying her to teach music. and suggested she be named a part-time teacher of music in Salem school. This would relieve Mir. Corliss of some of his present burden.
 It was brought out during the dis cussion that Mr. CorllSs' salary last year was $2,l50 and has been raised with pay restoration to S2.l85. MT. Meegan later revealed that under his plan 9i50 would be taken off Mir. corllss' salary and given to Miss Flaherty for her work in music instruction.
 Attorney Freeman remarked that there was a time when grade teach- eyS had full charge of musical tfas
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08
Salaries Approved

The salaries with the straight D per cent pay restoration were ap- proved but the operations group was ordered to go over the list of sug- gested changes in certain cases and make recommendations at the next meeting.
 Since 1881 teachers here have not received contracts, being appointed at a month-to-month basis, and board members felt this should con- tinue.
 The board empowered the super intendent to notify the three coal dealing firms in town that they should submit sealed bids for the coal contract of the schools, with a statement of analysis of the coal with the British Thermal unit stand ard. It is advisable to get tho bids in immediately 50 that coal may be bought now before the price rises.
 The board decided to hold a spe- cial session on Monday, May 18, at 5 D. m. to act on the bids.
 Superintendent Chittenden told the board he plans to have most local school children attend the Naugatuck Industrial Exhibit start ing next week so as to familiarize themselves with products made 1rl Naugatuck.

surrests Democrat Chairman

The session opened in startling manner with Peter F. Meegan, new member of the board, suggesting Q democrat be named chairman of the board. Attorney Freeman explained that for many years a democrat has held one position on the board and a republican has held the chairman ship. MT. Freeman is secretary and MT. Rodenbach has served many years as chairman.
 MT. Mannweiler said he thinks the board is getting along well under that arrangement and expressed the opinion 1t should be continued. The boards has always been non-parti- san, he said. Dr. Charles Kennedy said MT. Meegan's idea might be good, although declaring he had no criticism of MT. Rodenbach who conducts the meeting well.
 At the time of that discussion, Howard Bristol, republican, was not in attendance and MT. Meegan with drew his motion for Q change say ing 1t would not be sportsmanlike for action to take place when MT Bristol was not present. Immediate ly after, a motion the present off, cers be reelected was made and passed with no dissenting vote. This leaves MT. Rodenbach as chairman and MT. Freeman as secretary.
 Chairman Rodenbach then ap- pointed the following committees Messrs. Mannweiler and Freeman operations committee; Mir. Meegan and MT. Bristol, building commit tee; and Dr. Kennedy and MT. Ro- denbach, finance committee. The operations committee was the same last year, but the building commit tee then was composed of Dr. Ken nedy and MT. Bristol, while Attor- ney Gormley and MT. Rodenbach served on the finance group.

Rodenbach Talks


 Chairman f2odenbach then de- clared, Tt is a question of whether the board of warden and burgesses or the board of education will set the school department budget" A state law empowers the school board to set the law.
 MT. Freeman then said he under stood the salaries have not been cut and Superintendent Chittenden replied he only knew that 5000 has been taken off the proposed budget. Chairman Rodenbach repeated that the board of education is ern- powered by the state to run the schools. No local authority has the power to change that law. If we are going to run the schools, let us do so, if not there is no excuse for the existence of the school board" He added a state education depart ment official had informed him of the powers of the school board in this matter.
 Chairman Rodenbach was quite
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08

decisive in his statements. He de- clared T believe we should consider the budget as the one set by the board of education" He said 1t is a matter of principle and would set up a precedent if the figure as set by the borough board were considered as the budget.
 Despite this statement figures of the school department in the super- intendent's financial report for April included Q $196, 100 budget total, the amount as set by the board of war den and burgesses.
 Attorney Freeman agreed with Chairman Rodenbach that the board of education has power to spend under state law as much as is need- ed, in fact is compelled to do 50 He pointed out that if @ town come to the conclusion not to spend money for education, the state would come in and lay 8 special state tax under state supervision tc raise the necessary funds.
 However, he added that the board feels there should be coordination and harmony between the borough board and the school board.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08
Sees '. ough in Budget

He explained 1t is often the case that the more money there is allowed for expenditure, the more is spent. T think with the present budget, we can keep well within 1t.
 He pointed out that salaries of teachers are now almost up to the peak point. T think the teachers are satisfied, he added. They didn't get pay cuts until later than other towns and are receiving pay restor- ations at the same rate as teachers in other towns are getting them"
 Emil Mannweiler, republican, said all members of the education board try to keep within the budget. He said the action of the borough board however in reducing the budget is commendable in that 1t shows a de- sire to reduce the taxpayers bur- den.
 Superintendent Chittenden rather abruptly ended the discussion when he suggested that Thursday, June IS be set as the date for grammar school graduation and Friday, June l9 be the high school graduation date. Both exercises will be held in the Gem theater.

struction and said he didn't fully understand MT. Corliss' duties.
 Explains Duties
 Superintendent Chittenden ex- plained MT. Corliss conducts high school music and. has charge of the band there. MT. Meegan said that with 300 students in the high school in addition to grammar school stu- dents the instructor must be very busy. The superintendent declared MT. Corliss only has Q certain sec- ton of the high school pupils, and is supervisor of music in the grades, visiting each grade about twice monthly and outlining programs for the teachers to impart to the pupils.
 He explained MT. Corliss has a supervisors certificate, which IS dif- ferent from teaching certificate held by Miss Flaherty. In explaining this he recalled the art situation where new state laws require an extra two years of study in Q quali- fled school to ge an art supervisors certificate, but an art teachers cer- tificate may be obtained with less education.
 Dr. Kennedy pointed out 1t would not be enough to have teachers only for Salem school, that other schools would need them. MT. Meegan said that he would not want his sugges- ton to disrupt the present schedule. It was decided to have the opera tions committee investigate the sug- gestion and report at the next meet ing. :.
 The matter of the certificate of Peter J. Foley, physical education director, was then taken up. MT. Chittenden was not certain whether MT. Foley held @ supervisors cer- tificate, although he said the ath- leIic instructor does hold Q teach" CTS certificate. Mr. Foley gives physical drills for high school boys two days each week and the other three days are spent at his coaching duties and attendance work. He IS attendance officer.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-08

Commenting, he said There can't be any tinkering with teachers sal- aries without affecting our budget" Attorney Henry Freeman, democrat said that the budget reduction does- n't necessarily affect salaries.
