Tt formally expressed itself desiring a charter amendment requiring school committee, except In the ter of contracting for services of ordinary employes, to refrain from incurring any obligation $300 in amount, without first obtain- ing the approval of the common council, except in emergency which, in the opinion of the commit- tee, require haste in which case the| contract shall be reported at the next meeting of the council. | This or course, would | make it to large | contracts to the council, which would have final word—or ms final words. The common council would treat the school committee as it treats depart- ments and boards. As long as their| contracts come hefore the council, the | school contracts should come befere it, too. This is the feel- ing in the common council.

One of the duties of the state of which the state is jealous is the duty of edu- cating its children, the children of the state. Whatever happens it wants to see to it that the children are educated. This proposed amendment | Y will go before the legislature, with | the other amendments. If the school | committee here objects to this amend- ment, as it quite probably does, the| cities and boroughs committees of the legislature will know of that objection | and it is quite likely that not only | will the school committee appear be- fore those committees of the legisla- ture, house and se but the department of education stand | with the local school committee in opposing the amendment. The state feels that the school system is safer in the hands of the school commit- tees throughout than it would be in the hands of bodies such as common councils where the ten-| dency might be, perhaps, to gain a| reputation for economy the ex- pense of the school system. | Credit for New Britain's splendid | school system goes (o the school com- | mittees of the present and past, not| to the common council.

The Herald has on different occa- sions called attention to the ability of adopting a plan of zoning the city for development. New York city madega start in this matter| some years ago, Chicago is consider- ing it. But what a task it seems for | those great cities! More recently Providence, R. 1. and New Haven| have had it under consideration, and | now Waterbury is taking it up. The| advantage of maintaining the charac- | ter of the different sections of the! city as they are, or improving them, | and of preventing the deterioration of the various localities through en- croachments by buildings ®f a less| desirable character, has been pointed | out in these columns. It is to be regretted that the charter revision ecommittee did not take this matter| up, but certainly a movement in this direction should be started before the characfer of the different sections of the city is changed for the worse, as they have been changed in the past. New Britain is to grow; the zoning system should be adopted before the building boom comes along, as it surely will, in order that those who build may have some assurance that advis- bulld | advance into the Rubr and her pres- ot the meeti: ent plans of isolating that section and | this afternoon waiting until Germany determines to | Thomas 1, eilly of Meriden has wines herself and pay what | 080 10 his eity during the past few days laying plans 1o get New Britain she owes, the opiniens of those s0): 1o have & team In the slate league diers of ours as to Germany's inten: | this year.

He 1is National Commander of the American Legion, but he is more than that; he is the fighters' and the workers' man; he speaks for them and his time and thought are given to them and their interests. No patriotic citizen of this country can fail to feel, in giving him the welcome planned, that this wel- come, this enthusiadm is not for Commander Owsley as an individual, but for the men and women whose representative he is whether they are | members of the great hody of men organized under the name of the| American Legion or not. | For Commander Owsley personally there should be a hearty greeting for he has been honored by men who would scorn to raise anyone unworthy | to the high-post he occupies. Politi-| cians may “put it over" the people/ occasionally, and occasionally they do. | But no politician would be able to put anything over on the fellows who elected Owsley to be their Command- er. The war is too recent; the feel- ing too intense; the memory of the | hardships toa vivid to permit of any| camouflaging of purpose. Command- er Owsley is coming to this city as| representative of this great body of | ex-service men because the majority of them know he is a worthy repre- sentative, and New Britain will wel- | come him as such. Nothing should | be too good for this man representing | what he does represent. Owsley RESTORING SIGHT, Whether or not the operation restore the sight of one eye to a lad who was blinded seven years ago, by | substituting the lens of a pig's eye for the destroyed portion of the eye of the boy, is successful, the opera- tion itself is one which deserves com- | ment. Such comment is made pur- posely before the result of the opera- tion is known because of this very| fact. When science has reached a| point of achievement when such an operation is performed with serious prospect of success an epoch has been | reached which suggests almost un-| limited possibilities. A noted writer the other day in commenting on the wireless commu- nication of people separated by the Atlantic ocean, said that if such an invention “had been suggested forty years ago people would have. then said that when such a day came thepe could be no more war; that people who could talk across the ocean and | to | discuss matters would not resort to force to settle their differences. ¢ Such | prediction, had it been made fortyj years ago, may still be realized when | international communication is per- fected. 1t is not well to emphasize the disappointment felt when an in- vention comes, before that invention is perfected.
