and the special room. Just what re-
actions to this move viii result re-
mains to be seen. About two years
ago, 1t was voted to close the Pond
Hill school, and residents Of that
section objected, so the vote was re-
considered.
However the consolidation move
has long been pending. Supt. Chit
tenden told The Democrat after the
meeting that the cost Of elementary
school education here Is high In pro-
portion to the pupils and that there
Is not enough money for the high
school costs. He explained an ad-
justment was necessary and yet II
must be done without harm to the
education Of the elementary school
students.
George A. Kelly termed the move
q "blitzkrieg." There are two rooms
In the Millville schools and some
years ago the upper grades room
was closed, but after O protest was
Ireopened year later.
To Get Treads.
The board authorized the superin-
tendent and board chairman to call
for bids for installation Of stair
treads for the high school and also
gave them the authority to award
the contract for the work TO the
lowest local bidder. The board de-
cided to use iron or mason" treads
Supt. Chittenden explained there
were FIVE types Of treads which
might be considered, oak as Is used
at present, rubber, linoleum, the
mason tread, and O composition Of
cement and other ingredients.
He explained Principal Charles p.
Slade OF the high school prefers a
tread that will reduce noise In the
school. It was felt by the board
that the rubber tread, which would
decrease noise considerably, would
be quite expensive. The mason tread
will reduce noise to q certain ex-
tent, 1t was said.
The composition tread would
probably last the longest, the super
intendent said.
It Is expected the treads will cost
between 5000 and $700.
Faces Problem.
One Of the difnculties facing the
board II II decides TO transfer the
manual training room to the futile
shed will be that at present where
there are AZ minutes per period, the
periods might be cut down to %
minutes because students will lose
IA minutes In coming and going To
that place.
It was not definitely voted yet 10
make the transfer but the taking
Of preliminary steps indicates II may
be done before next year.
The superintendent told the board
that he learns that some local stu
dents going to trade school are not
using the train but are going by
other means. They have been paid
O check for train expenses and II
was intended they buy train tickets
with this, but II Is now planned 10
make the checks out TO the New
Haven railroad and 10 the bearer.
To Get Desks.
The board also passed q motion
that an appropriation Of $500 be
made for purchase OF seats and
chairs for the high school.
