~Day Shifting Pupils
In Overcrowded Sec-
tions
After the usual confusion which
always accompanies the opening day.
the Norwaik Public school system
today is getting down to routine of
school work.
Superintendent of Schools George
V. Buchanan said this morning that
most of his time was being taken up
by visiting school rooms reported as
extremely over crowded and in
which immediate relief was needed.
This morning Superintendent
Buchanan visited the Knudsen school
one’ of the most over crowded in the
system. and straightened out the~
situation temporarily.
"We will not have figures upon
number of students registered in
'each school until tomorrow." said
Superintendent Buchanan. "By to-
morrow we will have an enrollment
register which will show just how
many students are registered in each
room.
“Some of the rooms need imme-
diate attention because of'existing
conditions. For Instance. Miss Wood's
room in VWashlngton school had 61
pupils registered: Miss Sims' room
at Center had 60 pupils. At the
Knudsen school we are meeting con-
ditions by placing chairs in the vari-
ous rooms wherever we can. "

an employ of the Southern New Eng-

proudly displaying an old- British
coin, dated 1735, that he found in
Spring street one day last, week.
Mr. Skelly While at work in the
street, happened to kick ox'er some
crushed rock, that had been blasted
and in so doing discovered the coin.
1t is thought that the coin who
in a car load [of crushed rock that:
came into this city from some other
section of the country and that it
was one of the coins brought over
to this country by the early set.-
tiers.
The coin had evidently been lay-
ing in the open, from its appearance,» ,
for many, many years. for it took
considerable scouring on the part of
Mr. Skelly to make out the date.
Mr. Skelly thinks that the coin had
been covered over with dirt for many
years and that in blasting out the
rock, that it was blown to the sur-
face and brought to Norwalk and
then placed on our street.
