Statistics compiled in the report list registration of 509 in high school studies and 128 in foreign-born adult classes. Enrolment in evening grammar school was 32, bringing the grand total to 669.
 "T1e factories were functioning
 A hours day and were offering wages so substantial as to stifle any ambition for cultural improve ment," Dr. Gilmartin states in ex- planation of the decreased interest. 'The reasoning employed by the prospective students was that this munif1cent compensation would be only temporary, and that they could attend to their studies in future years"
 Speaking of drop in enrolment in Ar1ericanization and Citizenship groups. Dr. Gilmartin comments, "In the past the foreign adults never permitted outside activities to interfere with their attendance at evening school. This year, how ever, the eloquence of the dollar proved more captivating than the opportunity to learn to speak and write English"
 The school director points out that ordinarily three Citizenship classes with 40 students each are held. During 1943-44 there was only one class, with 16 students, representing a drop of 95 per cent.
 Seventy-f1ve sessions were ileld by the evening school during the year, with the aggregate attendance of all classes listed at 26,7OO. The total average attendance for the sessions was 357, the report shows.
 Seven foreign-born adult classes were held, Dr. Gilmartin reports. Fourteen different nationalities were represented, with the Italian lead ing in registration.
 The nationality groups attending the non-English speaking classes were represented as follows: Amer jeans, four; AustrianS, four; Cana dfanS, three; French, three: Ger. mans, two; Italians, 38; Lithuanians, S6; Norwegians, one; Poles, IS; Por- tuguese, three; Russians, 12; Spani- ards, twoj Swiss, one; and Chinese, one.
 Twenty-seven teachers and four principals were employed for the evening school, the report shows. The total cost of instruction is list ed at $8,944.96 and the amount of the state grants at $1,162.72, leaving a net cost of $7,782.24 to the city. The net cost per pupil is listed at $11.63.

Colonel Joseph s. (''Uncle Joe'D Heron, who commanded Water bury's Own," the 304th Infantry during World War I salutes his former troops as the Leading Citi zens of Connecticut" and in let ter extends greetings to all. He hopes that the 304th outing on August 19 will be the best ever and that there will be no A.W.OL.'s
 Uncle Joe" writes from Long Beach, California, and he has asked the local committee to have himself represented by proxy at the gather ing.
 The outing planned for Guertin's Grove promises to be highlight in the interesting history of the Old 304th. The boys are coming from all sections of New England for the reunion. Recently notice was sent out announcing the event and giving a few interesting facts concerning the 304th. A copy was sent to Colonel Heron by Captain Ellis Phelan and John Brickel, who are directing arrangements. The colonel's reply is a noteworthy one and shows that passing years have deepened the respect and confidence born of close contacts in the great war of 1917-18.
 The letter in part reads: Dear Ellis: Thanks for yours and John Brickel's circular about our com- ing reunion and outing. That's what we need and so does the
 whole country. The example and devotion of the 304th Infantry veterans do 8 heap more good than you realize. Our dads in- spired us and we pass that Divine Spark of duty, honor and love of

 hope no member will be A.W.O L. at this outing no matter how busy he may be I wish I could be there too, but travel now is for our kids.
 Yours and Brickel's circular is well worth some radio broadcasts to remind everyone again. I tell everybody that my 304th Infantry buck privates of World War I are now the leading citizens of Con- necticut and the east, so nat- urally it is hard for busy guys to get off, but every chance to keep contact is precious to us and our friends.
 Best of luck and God love you all.
