CENTRAL JR. HIGH HEARS PRINCIPAL W. C. French Talks on Duties o Citizenry Taking the editorial on the Cham. ber of Commerce in last night's Hers, ald as the subject of his text before | & general assembly of the students of the Central Junior High school this morning, Principal W. €. French drew an analogy between the school and the Chamber. He explained what the Chamber of Commerce should stand for in the everyday life of the citizen and how the organization can be made to take 2 leading part in clvic affairs. He {l- lustrated the fact that the school child of today is expected to take a keener interest. than ever in the same elvic affairs that Chamber of Com- merce are expected to take an interest in, and concluded by saying that the Chambr of Commerce of the future would be composed of the school child of today. Bost Mathematician Howard Hauseman was selected from the student body 4s the best matbematiclan in the school. Lead- ers of other branches will be indicat- ed from time to time. Mr. French later explained the theory of “Our Job,” to the students, eH told them how school life does not necessarily mean a certain num- ber of hours tied down to an end- less and possibly disagreeable task, but that it means a certain amount of work must be accomplished, He advocated the theory of “Getting the work done first and Lh?n going fish- ing."

JITNEY AND TROLLEY HIT One of Bizg Busses On Mrs. Muter's Route Crashes With Inbound Hart- ford Electric Shortly Before Noon. A big red jitney bus, operated on Mrs. Muter's east end route, came to grief shortly before noon today when it figured in a collision with an in- bound Hartford car on jubilee street. According to witnesses, the jitney driver was entirely at fault and only the alertness of the’'motorman on the trolley prevented a more serious crash. Witnesses say that the jitney, which had been standing idle by the curb- ing, suddenly started up and drove directly into the trolley as it was com- ing up the Jubilee street grage. Opin- ion of those on the car was that the jitneur either failed to look, and thus did not see the trolley, or else was attempting to beat the electric to the crossing. The jitney was badly damaged. carried no passenzers. It TAXES ARE COMING IN. Personal Tax Collector J. Willie Mills stated today that many delin- Ments are paying their $2 assess- Iments these daye.
