CONDOR REPORTS
ON PETTY THEFTS
Disappearance of Articles
Often Due to Neglect By
Steachers, Students

DR.. Thomas j. Condor, superin-
tendent of schools, reported last
night on the theft situation in local
schools.
The superintendent said he has
warned all principals to use care
in investigating all such cases.
-Four schools seem to have suffer-
ed the most in recent months, DR..
Condor said, adding that the theft
of two heavy bars of metal from
one of the buildings indicated 'out-
side" work, as the bars weighed 100
pounds and so pounds respectively.
The superintendent said also that
thefts have been going on for a long
long time in schools everywhere, not
just in Waterbury, and that often
it was not a case of stolen but of
lost and unclaimed articles.
In this connection, DR.. Condor
said that often pupils themselves
fail to claim their articles, although
notices are posted.
Teachers also, said the Superin-
tendent, have been guilty of care
lessness, in regard to their own
property, leaving 1t exposed, al
though warned before hand.
