SO marrry > — e —— SAFETY FIRST WEEL- Now comes the “Safety First Week!" The slogan is “Don’t Get Hurt." If five more words could ve added they would be “Don't Lot Anyoue Get Hurt."” It has been sald that man's first $=oupwt is solf protection; his second shoul” “e the protection of others There Is more in Safety First Week Tan the desire to take precautions that will keep you in- Jured or killed There is the thought, inspiring the movement, that one should take care wf others, too. o Idea is great If its conception involves a benefit to self only. There must be in it, somewhere, the thought of others. One of our contemporaries marked that if Safety First Week pre- vented but one accident or saved but one lite, it would be worth while. This s self evident. But the main idea of the fixing of this coming week as one to be ob- served by all people, as one to burn into the consclousness the necessity of eare of self and care of others, s that the seed should be sown so that the great tree shall grow, covering all, and benoath it there shall be noth- ing but safety forever. Enough has been sald to permit every man, woman and child to un- derstand what Is to be expected. It 18 all summed up in the slogan “Don’'t Get Hurt” and the ramifications thereof—and don't let anyone else get hurt If you may prevent it.

Habits that are good grow slowly than those which are bad It Is to be hoped ardently that tho results of the eare which will be taken this coming week, will become so evident that “Safety First” will be the thought in- stinctive of everyone long after the slogan “Don’t Get Hurt,” has faded from the places whore they are to be painted as a constant reminder. as long as they last, of the effort which was made to impress the importance much-talked-of trom being re- more of the whole ldea on everyone.

Often matters seem much worse when a description of them is reduced to print, than when examined Consider this and then take notice of the fact that members of the build- ing commission are said to have found conditions in the schools most insani- tary. News comes also that the mat- ter will be brought before the full school board Monday night. It ap- pears that in the past complaints have been made to the board whose result- ing orders were, undoubtedly, not carried out The school commission could not let such complaints go un- heedeld. Allowing the past to settle into the past, full of splendid things and full of deeds not so fine, the conditions of the schools in the matter of sanitation to- day, 1a one of the first things to be looked into and improved, it it has been allowed to deteriorate. Only assuming that such bad con- ditions exist, it behooves the board to see that they are rectified at once. The board has asked the board of fi- nance and taxation for another school. A large amount of money will have to the erection of more schools here some day. For the sake of the children now attending the schools, and for the sake of the chance of getting more money tor schols that are needed, let the board of education be able to answer the question: “What taken of the school under your be used for satistactorily care have you buildings now vision 7" super- A LOSS TO THE CITY. In the news columns of the Herald of today will be found notice of the resignation of Anna G. Rockwell, for 27 years librarian of the New Britain irstitute. The loss of her services and inspiration, as sensed by the hoard of directors, will appear in the ne But there must come from the people she served and helped a more gencral expression of their ap- preclation of her work .

THE OBSERVER MAKES RANDOM O SERVATIONS — ON — THE CITY AN New Britain was badly shocked to read in the Herald last evening that members of the building commission considered sanitary conditions in some of the local public schools below th standard. It will be necessary to wait until the commission meets early next week before an exact description of the situation is obtainable. It is to be presumed that the building commissioners know whereof they speak but it does not seem possible that the men who comp the school board have knowingly ai- lowed children to be exposed to sick- ness through this channel. It is a fact worthy of remark that the morbidst among school children has not becn any greater than in other cities, and it seems strange that this should be the case if conditions are as the building commission is reported to have found existing. New Britain schools have enjoyed a reputation for cleaninecss and whole- someness conducive to mood health Members of the board of education are high-minded citizens who have ulways been regarded responsible public servants. Many of them have children of their own . some in the public schools.and if insanitation ha been allowed to incry e it is probably because their attention has not been drawn to conditions. This, of course, could not be considered an excu use it is their duty to gus ainst just such a state of affairs. if the picture has not been exaggerated, a clean-up is in order. It is said that Mayor Curtis may oppose any appropriation of money to mw improvements and repairs. The Mayor will hardly dare to the face of public opinion which wi o know the truth and to have medies applied, if lemedies are needs Economy in ruch matters is a pen wise and pound foolish policy. The health of the children is of para- mount interest and can never bc overshadowed by mere dollars.

This is perhaps partly the fault of the railroad management and partly the fault of the public which is not lly as careful in dealing with semi-puble property as it is with its personal possessions. But regardless of whose fault it is, improvement is necessary. The erection of a public comfort station will, no doubt, go a long way toward eliminating present conditions at the railroad station. Increasing dissatisfaction is noted with the growth of the Ku Klux Klan, which Is said to have been favorablc received by large numbers of men in the South tnd middle ‘west. Ex-Gov- enor Dunne of 1llinois is heading an organization to combat the influence of this secret organization and the city governments of Louisville, Ky, and El1 Paso have taken steps ‘o stem propaganda. The Ku Klux Klan is un-American. It ts up a government within a sovernment which seeks to take the aw into its own hands. It favors the rule of the mob, rather than the Jjustice of the courts. In its dealings with private ciiizens it has committed outr > after outrage, and the prin- cipals have gone unpunished. While it poses as a patriotic organizatio its purpose of existence is not patri otde, Americans understand pa- triotism. Defiance worst offen | of the Constitution hat inspired docu- ment grants to every man and wom- an the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The Ku Klux Kiar denies at this right beir particularly bitter Catholics I\||d Jews Under our laws a cer- tain number of citizens of other countries are permitted to enter our gates for permancnt residence. One of the objects of the Ku Klux Klaa is to de-alicnize America. It is form 1 on a platform of religious bigotry and racial hatred t must hold it up to the picion of every man vho does his own thinking. If the Ku Klux Klan is allowed to exist and flourish would it not be logical for any other group of per- »ns to assume a fanciful name and lalso deprives the courts of their power and authodity? The government of Americ is entrusted in properly elect- ed officials who do not ride around be- rind macks discharging their duties. They have offices and office hours and they meet their constituents with unconcealed faces.

PT 17, | TRAINING SCHOOL SEEKS NEW MEMBERS to Become Nurses “Will you t That is the call which has just been made by the New Britain General Hos- }puul Training School for Nurses—and | ten more young women between the | ages of 19 and 35 years are wanted by the time the fall term opens, October 1. It is a call that is made only to those in New Britain and vicinity, so if you live in New Britain, you'll be right at home. If you live near New Britain, you won't be far from your home."’ Tomorrow pastors in some of churches of the city will explain the of the training school, and will show the ges that the student- nurse who now enrolls will receive. Before the end of next week all the bids will be received for the building of the new nurses’ home, and not many days afterward the contract will be let. Within six months the housing conven- iences that have been lacking for the nurses will be provided. Just now the recreation building, the Berkowitz pro- perty on Hawkins street, is being fit- ted up, and will be ready for the nur in about a month. There has been a delay in the build- ing of the nurses’ home because the hospital authorities desired to have pre- pared the most thorough plans for the most modern kind of dormitory. In- cidentally, by the delay in building, the people have benefited because prices have dropped 20 to 30 per cent since the campaign for funds last November. A pamphlet has been prepared and by means of it the call for the nur: has been made. This pamphlet was written by William C. Kranowitz, who devised the hospital advertising during the campaign for funds. In collabora- tion with Mr. Kranowitz were Dr_ T. Eben Reeks, chairman of the hospital executive committee, and Miss Ethel B. Graham, supervisor of nurses, who will be glad to confer with all applicants. in for nursing?’’ the creased more than 23,000 in the last week of August. In July, railway net income reached $7,000,000, which is $17,000,000 bet- ter than in June. The south is becoming happier by the increase in the price of cotton. The foregoing are facts collected by B. C. Forbes, a keen student of indus- trial conditions. At Elmira, N. Y., more than 2,000 employes of an automobile factory have been recalled to work full time. John Cavanaugh, one of the leading bankers of Iowa, expresses the con- viction that the corner has been turn- ed. There is a big demand for miners in the Pottsville, Pa., district. These are only straws, showing which way the wind is blowing, but they indicate a favorable breeze Steady, if slow, progress is anticipated. At a conference of department heads of onec of the big steel producing com- panies, a composite of the views and opinions expressed was: “There will be no decided revival in the steel trade this year but the curve of production will be upward.” This, of course, will give employment to more men imme- aiately in the steel industry and also to men whose employers buy the steel.

It would be difficult to imagine a set of regulations which would provide cleaner sport anywhere. If the rules are enforced by local commissions, the public, or that part of it which is entertained by the spectacle of two trained boxers in action, should enjoy the best kind of shows. The coramission is to be commended particularly because of the attitude it has taken toward boxing on certain holid: There should be no letting down of the bars in this respect. Days which have a peculiar religious sig- nificance should not be given over to a carnival of boxing., as has been the case in some places. Due reverence should be accorded certain dates on the calendar. For example, it has al- ways been an outrage against the bet- ter eloment that hoxing should be per- mitted on Good day, or Fast Day as it is called in this commonwealth The majority of people residing in Connecticut are ot the Christian faith and Good Friday has a deeper meaning than merely a day of recreation. Boxing has been placed on a higher plane by the new regulations. It is a clean and interesting sport when pro- rorly conducted. An investigation would probably reveal that reformers who describe all glove matches as “brutal” have never had the oppor- tunity of watchingz two properly train- ed men in sound physical condition, match their skill and science. There is very ‘ittle punishment, no more, per- haps, than the average football plaver receives in a hard scrimmage. There are occasional fatalities but what sport can boast of a clean bill of health in this regard? It is to be hoped that responsible parties, and none other, interest them- selves in boxing in this city during the coming winter. if bouts are to be held at all. New Britain has suffered from the usual number of flascoes in the squared circle and probably will suffer from others because there are al clements bevond the control of pro- mo‘ers. But it will be a step in the right direction if licenses are granted only to those whose integrity is un- questioned and wnose interest in the sport is known to be genuine. If W. W.
