The figures released Monday show that there are now 11,359 pupils registered in local public grammar schools. Last years total was 1l,840, showing a decrease oi Ae7. Looking back into the records of grammar school attendance since 1o2e-2D, the decrease Is found to be more or less alarming. In 1928-29 there were 14,618 pupils listed m the public grammar schools in the city. #
 Peak Year
 The following school years, 1929-3O' was the peak year, with 14,744 pupils listed in the schools.
 Since the peak year, then, the grammar school registration in the public schools has decrsased no less than 3,395 pupils.
 { There are no reports available on the parochial schools in the city, but it is generally believed that they have also suffered 8. severe loss m registration during the past six or seven years. v
 The high schools in the city, in the recent report, are listed as having an increase of 61 over last year, with 4.386 pupils being registered this year. But the high schools are in for severe loss of registration in about four or five years, at which time the present. low number of pupils in the grammar schools will be graduating from the elementary schools and registering at Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth. The reg istration of the parochial high schools, Waterbury Catholic High and Sacred Heart High, will also suffer a decrease within the next four or five years.

NAVY DAY PLANS
 OUTLINED TODAY
Observance Set For OctO- Der 27 to Give Better
 Idea of Work

Navy day, celebrated on October 27. was inaugurated in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States, and its observance Is sponsored an- nually by the Navy league. The pur- pose is to foster a better under standing of the navy and its work. The public, ordinarily, see the navy only when ships are in port for brief periods of rest. They do not see the navy at work when officers and crew are maintaining twenty four hour day watches at sea and in foreign waters.
 Navy day celebrates the 161st birthday of the United States navy. It Is the anniversary of the day when the first resolution was intro duced in the Continental congress on Ocotber 27, 1775, to authorize the building of naval vessels for the de- fense of the colonies.
 Since then, ships of the U. s. navy have protected not only our own shores but also American lives and property in all corners of the globe. Our gunboats carry the stars and stripes two thousand miles up the Yangtze river in China, and en- sure the safety of American busi- nessmen and of medical, educational and religious missionaries in that far away land. On another conti- nent, United States citizens were endangered by fighting in Spain The battleships Arkansas and Okla foma, the heavy cruiser Quincy and the destroyers Hatfield and Kane rushed to their aid.
 So, the names of our ships are known at home and abroad. Bat tleships are named 7 after states, cruisers after cities. .ahd destroyers after illustrious nayaEa heroes. A navy to be adequate must be com posed of different types of vessels. Other types are aircraft carriers, supply ships, tenders or mother ships, and submarines. Ocean go- ing submarines are named after their sea dwelling neighbors, the game fish, such as the U. s. s. Bass, Bonita and Barrieuda.
 At present, the navy is building a larger number of ships than have been constructed for a number of years. Congress, also, has author ized an increase in the number of bluejackets in order to man these new ships. This is not 8 shipbuild- ing race. The navy is building merely to the sea strength original " agreed upon for the United States at the various naval conferences with Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan.
 With the cooperation of patriotic and public spirited citizens, Navy day is celebrated to call attention of the people to the work of the navy in providing reasonable naval defense.
