A FINE PLAN-HOLMES School Superintendent Favors Nathan Hale Organization “Comnfunity benefit to the associations are a neighborhood where they are started,” sald Superintend- ent of Schools Stanley H. llolmes, speaking at mass meeting of the Nathan Hale Community assoclation at the Nathan Hale school last cve- ning. Are Not Political, “They are in no way political hut are mainly an organization for the uplift of that particular section in which they are started, and the pos- sibilities of one being formed in the district of the han Hale school is promising,” continued Mr. Holmes, “The chances are that some of you people in this section of the city are not acquainted with half of the neigh- bors surrounding you and a Commun- ity association affords one this oppor- tunity to get on better terms with one another and brings them closer together.” Mr, Holmes also mention- ed that an association of this kind would mean a broader field for the teachers to work in, as it would bring them into contact with the parents at meetings held, and any questions per- taining to the schools and other mat- ter: an be discussed, he people in the country are a fine example of this community spirit, they co-operate with one another, liv- ing outsile the eity, and help ecach other in time of sickn and even in business matters," said Superintendent Holmes. City People Unacquainted. Mr. Holmes said that the people in the city are not co-operating with one another as they should and a Com- munity organization would carry out this plan easily. “There should be no need of you people appealing to the charity department for aid. Get together and help one another, and each other in their troubles and help each other carry their burdens, That's what a Community association can do if managed in the proper way,” continued the speaker. *“The Parents and Teachers' association is not the same as Community organization. That association is mainly for dis L ing the interests of the school and its work. A Community association op- erates on a broader scale. If one is formed here, it could mean better health conditions. You could take more interest in the conditions exist- ing in your particular district. reets Are Bad. ““The streets in this distriet, sur- rounding the Nathan Hale school, are not in the best of condition,” said Mr. Holmes. “A committee could e organized in the Community associa- tion to look after this and attend meetings when projects for improve- ments could be worked up and brought to the attention of the board o BEST MILK Raw, untreated milk i{s dangerous for Baby for RAW MILK contains large numbers of germs that may wreck its life——germs that are ren- dered harmless by only ONE method, PASTEURIZATION.

Prompt action would result from this co-operation, if the association takes the initiative. Not Enough Playgrounds. “Your children are growing and you should take an int st in their daily work, Good streets are needed for their every day life. The onl way to overcome any matter is to or- ganize and attack it in a body. There are not enough playgrounds here for a neighborhood of this size. Next summer, there will be a bigger play- ground built in back of the Nathan Hale school. The Community associa- tion canaid @ this matter by appeal- ing-the public for it. “A weifare committee could also be appointed,” suggested Mr. Holmes, “whose duty would be to look after th interests of the sick., the needy, an to render what aid they can. 1t would make the ill ones feel better and give them the chance to see that they real- ly have friends who ave looking ont after their welfare. Know who is in need in your particular neighbor- hood,§ he advised. Recreation and Dances. Mr. Holmes felt that with the or- ganizing of a Community association, there conld be various events held, such as dances, at the school hall “The proper thing to do would be hold frequent dances and have the younger generation, from the ages of 16 to 20, join with you, then they will grow up to realize what it means to have a Community Mr. Holmes said. School Hall Open For Use. Mr. Holmes impressed upon people that the school hall was open to their use. “The school is your property and should be used constant- ly. The school board will co-operate with you to this end and a better feeling of friendship will result from this movement. I sincerely hope the association will be organized, as T be- lieve it will mean better conditions for you all.”_the speaker concluded. wh Efect oficers. James E. O'Brien, director of the Americanization bureau, spoke on the same subject. Mr. O'Brien said that another meeting will be called in two weeks' time when plans for the as- sociation will he more thoroughly dis- cussed. Officers of the organization wiil be elected. Nelson Marion is temporary chairman. Mr. Marion also heads the Parents and Teachers' as- sociation.

More than 100 letters were found upon his person from various prom- inent clergymen about the country stating that he was authorized to rol- lect money. He worked under eight different aliases and his victims num- ber into the hundreds. It is thought that he is a member of a gang of impostors who have been active in this work, pretending that they were relief agents, and so clever were they that they have col- lected thousands of dollars. Was Found Insane. Tsaacs came to this country from Turkey in 1917 and resided in this city. While here he went to New York and was arrested for posing as a relief agent. He was to be deported, but it v found that he was insane and he was committed to the Hart- ford Retreat. WFinally WDiscovered. His arrest was the result of a warn- ing which appeared in the {Decem- ber 24 issue of “The Churchman,” stating that a swindler ‘'was operating under the guise of collecting dona- tiong to the Near Kast Relief. He so- licited » Rishop Gailor of New York city, president of the domestic and reign Missionary society of the scopal church. He asked for aid, representing himself as a Nestorian priest. The bishop became suspicious of him and accused him of being a fraud. Hereupon, Tsaacs is said to have admitted that the letters he had shown were forgerics. He will be tried in the New Jersey courts. ANSWERS FARLEY ! Member of School Board Proves Ase sertion Concerning Cost of Schools. ¥. O.

They show tha¥ihe daily aver- age of attendance of pupils for the year 1920 and 1921 in this city was 18,847, while in Holyoke it was 6,202, or 2,645 less than here, he says. The total cost for schools in this city for the same period was $738.- 188, while in Holyoke it was $756,928, or $18,740 greater than in this city, Mr. Kilbourne adds. This figured down to each pupil gives a cost per child of $51.29 in this city and $122.05 in Holyoke, or $40.76 more in Hol- yoke than in New Britain.
