“The teachers want to know dcfl—

Miss Florence I». Hoyt declared
that she had heard that the teachers
were satisfied.
"This is not true." said Miss Hoyt;
"This delegation shows that we aren't
satisfied. doesn't it?"
Miss Hates demanded an explana-
tion of the fact that a teacher of six
or eight yv-ars' experience should re-
ceive the same salary of a teacher cf
20 yo-ars‘ experience.
Chairman \Vard asked how many
teachers had not received any in-
crease in ruliiil‘)‘ and one of the del-
that more than
thirty had not.
Dr. Tracey then took the floor with
the statement that it was the teacher.
not the school. that got results. He
said that “'estport. Danbury, Anson-
ia. Stamford and other towns and
cities were paying the teachers more
than Nurwalk was. He said that a
Westport grade teacher received more
than a Norwalk High School teacher.
He then moved that the maximum
salaries of women teachers in the
grades be increased to 81.400: of wo-
men teachers in Junior High with
'college educations to $1.600; of wo-
men teachers in the Junior High
without college education to receive
31.500. and in the Senior High School
$1.700. Mrs. Mary M. Brooks asked

voted to allow the use of the High
School auditorium on the night of
June 2 to the graduating class ofthe
Eranklin Junior High School for the
purpose of entertaining teachers and
parents. Dr. Tracey protested against
so many dances and other amuse-
ments in the schools, saying the board
should take definite steps to stamp it
out before the new school year op-
etied in the fall. He suggested that
it would be a good idea‘ if the board

The April report of the Superin-

read at the Board of Education meet-
ing last night is as iolows:
To the. Board of Education:
0n ni‘ount of a seemingly wide in»
terest in a comparison of the college
entrant“.- examination records of oursl
with neighboring high schools. I have
made a rather wide inquiry. There is
no conu-nient way of keeping such
a record since there is no provision
for reports from the examining com-
mittee in high school authorities. I'n-
fortunately our high school has made
no special point of learning and pre-
sez-ving records of the examinations
of our pupils. A few have been known
from time to time. by individual
teachers. but. apparently.» no system-
alir effort raw been made to preserve
thorn. s
The reports from the high school
principals tenemlly show similar eon-
ditlons. The favorite temher or the

perhaps. neither pupil nor teacher
cares to have a record made.
The principal of one of Connecti-
uit's large high schools reports as
rolows on their senior class of last
year. 222 in number. Two students
were admitecd to Smith and Harvard
by the New Plan. Eight took exam-
inations in fifty-four diferent sub-
jects and scored failures in twenty-
six of them. A record 'of nearly 60
per cent. of failure. The College En-
trance Board Examinations showed-
only 43 per cent. of failures. The
principal adds that this is a bad rec-
ord. ‘

Peter didn't reply. so there was noth-
ing for it but to hunt for her. After
a while in the corner furthest away

covored creche edge of the Old Brier-
pltch he found Mrs. Peter. She was
sitting back to him.
Peter paused and looked at her
doubtfuily. ins didn’t like the looks
of that back. He had been.awsy for

Peter didn‘t even twitch her ears. She i
sat there with her back to him just
as if her didn't exist.
Peter felt more and more uncom-
fortable. It was the guilty feeling
down inside that made him feel so:
uncomfortable. “I—i—l don't blsme'
you. my dear, for not spesking to
me," uninsured Peter. "l—.I-—-l’m
sorry i stayed sway so long. I see
that while I have been away some

"Chucks!" cried Peter.
say Chucks?” Peter was
right up with excitement.
Mrs. Peter nodded. “Yes.” said she.
“i said Chucks. I hope there is noth-

"tht Chucks?" minded Peter,
and danced right up and down with
excitement.
“What Chucks do you suppose?"
retoned Mrs. Peter sharply. “What

eyes fairly snapped. She told Peter'
what she thought of him. Yes. in-
deed. she told Peter what she thought ;
at him. She called him idle. good-l
for-nothing. and s luy gsd-sboui.;
She said that no self-respecting rub-

had done. l

the most pleasing features of their
school work.
Another principal rchrts the num- .
hers entering the different colleges
and remarks that. on the whole. they
are fairly well satisfied with results.
Another good high school reports
that it is dimcult to make a state-
ment about the. percentiure of suc-
cessful examinations. but says that in
the last three years eleven have tried
the examinations and all were. suc-
cessful but one, and that she failed
because of greater interest in swim-
mingthan in examinations.
Another high school principal re-
ports that the College Entrance Ex-
aminations work out satisfactorily for =
the boys but he feels that they are nt- l
terly unfltted for girls. Their certifl- 2
cute is 80 per cent. and he cannot rc- '
call of any boy failing in examina-l
tion who had earned that grade. in
daily work.
Another report. says. "\Ve have sent .
about ’5 per cent. of our graduatesi
to college for the past live years and l
have had no one fail to enter college ‘
by examination."
Several principals made no rc- :
spouse to our inquiry. which may be.
interpreted to imply that they either-T
have scant records. or records of l
which they are not proud. i
In my own judgment there is small '
reason for the failure of high school
graduates to pass the. college entrance
examinations if thye have been well
