by consolidated

room buildings by consolidated
schools.
To serve the 346,801 pupils in the
state, during the year covered by
the report, there were 9,611 teachers
and 874 administrative workers;
1,123 school buildings, valued at
$109,580,550, we're in use. The cost
of these school facilities to the
towns was about $25 100000. The
states share was $3,400,000 of which
$1,820,000 was given to the towns
in grants. The State Board turned
into the state treasury, in receipts,
about 100000 which came from the
Teachers Colleges, Trade School
earnings, and reimbursements by the
federal government.
Advising Branch
In referring to variation of educa-
tional offerings among the towns
the State Board says that such diff
ferences result frequently from
local school board choice and that
is desirable. 1t is not the duty nor
the intent of the State Board to
ask that all schools look alike and
do the same things in the same way.

Education Department frequently

chosen as the site of the county

at this session. Among those lead
ing the Waterbury delegation are
Francis O'Donnell, president Of the
local club and second vice-president
of the state organization; Joseph
Carolan, president of the New Haven
County Young Democrats.
In accordance with the plans
made at the last meeting of the
state committee, Chairman Smith
has sent out letters to 5000 Demo-
Gratis soliciting campaign contribu-
tons. These have been sent out
earlier than usual this year so that
to quote the chairman, "the leaders
may be able to estimate the cam
paign fund in order to plan its use
intelligently."
Assessments
While some letters may have been
sent to state employees in the middle
and higher wage brackets, Chairman
Smith said that he understands
that the state merit act does not
prevent employees from making con-
tributions, only from taking part in
political activity. So far as contri-
buttons from those on relief are
concerned, the pledge card sent out
includes the following stipulations
II understand that the Demo-
cratic state committee will accept
no contribution from persons or
national, state or city relief rolls OF

PITCAIRN ISLAND
IN SORRY PLIGHT

New York, July 28-(UP)-The
plight. of Pitcairn Island in the
South Sea, where ships have re-
fused to stop because of false re-
ports of typhoid epidemic, was
described last night in two-way
conversation between Mrs. Dorothy
Halls amateur radio station in
Queens Borough, and Andrew
Young's station on the Island.
The conversation was rebroadcast
throughout the United States and
Great Britain by the National
Broadcasting Company.
Young reported that although
there was no doctor and no med
icine on the island, there had been
no illness except for few colds. He
requested that if anyone were send
ing medicine, it should include only
simple bottled remedies, which had
directions on the labels.

the only one to communicate with
the island, and who first learned
of the situation there July II, no.

Elementary Institutions

A report crowded with children and
their work In school, rather than
with statistics, Is booklet issued to-
day by the State Board Of Education.
AS the second part of its annual
report, the board prepared "Con-
necticut Schools Today"
1t is an attempt, says the board,
to tell "the real story of pupils and
what they are doing" And pupils
and teachers as well as principals
and superintendent have assisted
the board and its professional staff
in writing the report. Some of the
present day work In the grades is
described by pupils themselves. IL
Illustrating classroom activity and
more than SO photographs selected
from several hundred submitted by
schools throughout the state.
Today's Schools
The report deals concretely and
simply with today's schools. 1t
explains in detail the operation and
detectives of the so-called prof
ect" method of teaching. 1t tells
why children today are building
Eskimo villages, why art and music
assume an increasingly larger place
in the public school. 1t contrasts
the country school of yesterday with
the country school now. 1t answers
the question, What has become of
the three R's?"
The report is filled with the in
formal, everyday things that are a
vital part of education - the birth
day cakes that mothers send to
school, the cod liver oil that now
has a place in the school doctor S
bag, the Parent-Teacher Association
and it's work.
Photographs are Of the candid
camera type, a sudden view into
the midst of things. Merely to
glance through those pictures gives
one vivid, and perhaps surprising
idea fwhat is going on today IN
Connecticut's schools.
Front and back covers of the re-
port are a group picture of several
hundred boys and girls. AS an in
