The Broad River Community
club may make an effort to secure
the present Broad Zivcr school
building upon the completion of the
new school for a communit ’ hall.
This matter is being talked over
considerably and there is a good
possibility of definite action being
taken.
Dr. \Y'Illiam J. Tracey. when ask-
cd whether he would favor such a.
proposition. replied in the affix-“man
tivc. lie is a member of the Board
of Education.
"I think it would be a splendid
thing for the city to sell or give the
old Broad River school building to
.the Broad_I-‘.iver Community club
Acting upon the suggestion of
Miss Mary Rider. the Board of Ed-
ucation last night included in its
annual budget the sum of $2,000 to
be used to secbrc a t‘acllcr tor a.
class ot‘ delinquent children. It was
brought out during the discussion
that ther'c wcrc from 30 to 100 unu-
sual children in the school system.
some of which should be in state
institutions. ,
This matter came out with '1119
reading of the budget. Miss Rider
asked Clinton 1:. Rowland. of the
Committee on Schools. whether any
provision had been made for a
teacher for delinquent children.
~Receiving a. negative reply, )Iiss
Rider said:
“I think we should have classes
for the unusual children: that is
backward children. Those cla55cs
are an absolute necessity. A “'cst-
port teacher of these classes told
me that teachers with unusual chil—
dren in ’thcir rooms cannot do
these children or the other children
justice. Dr. Sharron. the other day.
said it was unfair to have delinquent
children with the others. Personal-
ly I know of a. child at the Concord
school who simply sits in the
schoolroom. not learning anything.
Fortunately the child is quiet and
does not create any disturbance.
These children need much more at-
tention than the others.”
18 To a. Class.
Alex :ummler agreed with
Miss Rider while Mrs. George F.
Betts said that there should not be
more than 18 children in a dell-
quent. class.
,Dr. \V'illiam J. Tracey explained
that classes of this kind'wcre form—
erly held but were given up when
the number of pupils dropped to
five and six. He said that all of the
children at that time were sent, to
the East Norwalk school. He
thought that some of the children
should be sent to an institution ra-
ther than be included in the deli—
q'uent class. A motion was made
adding $2,000 to the budget to en-
ga e a. teacher for a. deliquent class
a was adopted without opposi-
tion. .
The subject of increasing the sat.
ary of the clerk to Principal Philip
Jakobs at the High school came in
for "Considerable discussion. Some
of the members of the board
thought that the salary of $650
was sufficient saying the position
Dr. Tracey
said the salary would have to *be
jumped to $1500 to secure attained
worker or should rcma where it
is; declaring there 7: no middle
ground. Other members thought
that Mr. Jakob co’ifld get along with
a clerk engaged from among ‘the
graduates of the Commercial de-
paflmént. It was broughtput that
Mr. Brum'es, principal of the Franc
tin. Junior His had much need of
clerical assistance. The board de-

Fire Insurance
In the matter of fire insurance
on the buildings. new and 1d. Dr.
Tracey urged that the insurance be
distributed among the various ag-
cncics in the city.
Henry Hartlens. representing the
“‘cst Norwalk Improvement 9550-
cizmon, appeared before the board
and asked for transportation for
West Norwulk High school pupils
to and from school. He stated
that a. number of children had [fit
school because of lack of transpor-
tation. He also, spoke of the lack
of water at the \V'est Norman:
school. It was suggested that it
might be possible to huge the bus
which transports the junior high
pupils carry the senior high pupils
as well. Mr. Marticns‘sald the bus
was over-crowded; declaring it was
carrying 18 pupils when only built
for 12. The board asked Mr. Mart-
ions to find out how many senior
high pupils needed transportation
and report back at the next meet-
ins. . '
On the water question. Dr. Tra-
cey said that the well at the “fest
Not-Walk school had been condemn-
ed as impure and diseased and had
btcn clascd up. He said that wa-
ter ma secured from near-by hous-
es. The matter of piping water to
the school from a near-by stream
was left in the hands of Fletcher

last evening. was a. hdge success.
About 15.0 attended- the aflair.
Past commander's badges were.
presented to Past Comanders John
Keogh, Charles Frizzell. Joseph E.
Brothcrton and Raynor Werme. The
presentation was made by Com-
mander Le Roy '1). Downs and Seni-
or Vicc Commander Anson F. Keeler.
All of the Past Commanders of the
Post_ responded with appropriate
remarks.
Commander Le Roy D. Downs.
acted as master of "ceremonies. Ma-
yor Thomas Roblnswa‘s the first
speaker.
The mayor stated that the anni-
versary of the Frank C. Godfrey
Post brought back memories of the
war and the time that a. number
of those present marched to the
South Norwalk railroad station
where they entrained for the various
camps. He told of the number of
relatives that he had In the “’orld
War who fought in the English
army and said that he therefore felt
a. close‘ relation to the ex—scrvicc
men. ‘ He stated that excels-ice
men should band together in such
organizations as the American Le-
gion and help uphold the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
Rev. Lester T. Mallory of the
South Nam-all: Baptist church was
the second speaker.
any ex—service man had well learned
the meaning of loyalty and that
when the men came back from
France that they expected loyalty
and that in some .instanccs they
were fooled. He stated further
that he expected in the future that
tho AmerlcantLeglon would become
a. much stronger organization. Not
,because of its Increase in member-
ship but because otfihe determine-
tinn of silo Mr’to‘“£tick together
and their loyalty to the country.
Past Commander John Keogh. the
first commander. said the history
of the Frank C. Godfrey Post sets
out a. ivondcrful'llst of achievements
and that it would do many more
fine things in the future. He stated
that in his estimation every 'cx—
service man should Join’the Ameri-
can Legion. as it was only through
this organization that they would be
able to accomplish their ideals. He
pointed out that the record of a
man who had an honorable dis-
charge from the United States
army in most cases did not have to
be searched and than an honorable
discharge entitled him to a. great
deal of consideration. Past Corn-
mandcr Keogh also stated that he
thought that the «ex-Service men
should be given the;pret‘erence 'on
all police. fire and municipal posi-
tions that were open.
Department Commander E. P.
Armstr'ong was the last ’spcaker. He
pointed out that it had only been a.
little over five 3‘ are that the Amer-
ican Legion had een organized and
that it had accomplished much good
that was unknown to the public and
that the American Legion did not
tell enough about the services that
it was performing . throughout the
country. He said that the Legion
had been attacked for its stand on
adjusted compensation, but that. de-
spite this fact they were fighting'for
it and would continue to. Com-
mander Armstrong stated that the
American Legion was a. community
{meet and a. dividend paying organ-
ization. He teld of the fight that
they were carrying on for the dis-
abled cx-sern‘ce men and how it
was necessary. ln.order to get. the

from the Portfolio club of Norwatk.‘
The board voted to ask the newspa-

The letter follows:

from the four departments concern-
ed. the club took action, when the
meeting adjourned, to 1185's a. note
of appreciation forwarded. to the
Board of Education. Club members
found it difficult. to believe that un-
dergraduates. many of-.these mere
children, could do such professional
looking work. Very remarkable
specimens of baskctry were there
from Mr. Kane‘s department: quite
as many of very finely executed
wood-work in various forms from‘
Mr. Ameer's pupils, not. to mention
faultlessly printed programs from
another branch of work under the
same instructor. Beautiful examples
of fine needlework showed Miss
Howe‘s success as a. teacher. Two
pupils from Miss Bouton's classes
came. in from the High school. Miss
Frances W’ing and Mtss'Gladys Jack-
son. and explained the process of
batik work. tie and dyeing. and
