At the meeting of the coms- | mon council at which it was approved, | stherd was satisfuction ex- | pressed, Mo rising vote thanks was given to former Senator Edward 1.

They believe, those mem- bers of the councll, that everything has been done that is possible in this direction. Probably many feel, @ everyone does, quite as the one mem- | ber of the council who wanted to be recorded a “Nay” on the vote upon| it, that he would like to have it small- er. But the other members of the council refused to vote against it re- alizing that they could offer no con- structive corrections. New Britain would not be able to do business if its officials sat back and protested, refus- ing to act, yet unable to make any suggestions other than delay. We are all sorry taxes are so high | and we are all in favor of strict econ- | omy.

But when we step- ped into the office and read an Asso- ciated Press dispatch that “an ad- vance of one one-half cents a gallon in the wholesale price of gas-| oline in New York and New England | states has been announced by the| | 8tandard Oil company of New York" we were forced to admit that the vernal season was not only approach- +ing, but was actually budding forth. The Standard Oil company has the p automobile owner by the short hair. ! During the cold period in these lati- }tudes, it hibernates, plays 'possum tand does several other things which ! j are the nature of the beast. But come 4 spring, it sallies forth, soaks the auto- 1 mobile owner between the eyes, lifts Lhis wad and leaves him prostrate on | | the floor of his garage.

This is a new local entorprise, It is to be hoped that when this corporation is dissolv. ed, If hat time comes, its history will have been cqually as succesaful and its stock as valuable as that of the other local enterprise just closed up, Comment Is made on this coincl- dence, not for the purpose of in- fluencing anyone to purchase stock in the Hotel corporation—for the argu- ment is purely sentimental--but nerely for the sake of expressing ans other bit of good.will toward an en- terprise which, It is to be hoped, will make New Britain a better place to live in, The SIMPLE TRUTHS While a rgyman in New York is \ying “The fundamentalists in reli- gion believe that they will attain hap- piness in the world to come through the belief in the miraculous concep- tion of Christ, His death and ascen- sion into heaven,” New Britain clergyman is voicing the view that “The matter of His virgin birth and miraculougs powers are matters wholly immaterial fo faith in Him as a Sa- men * * * Only by trying taking a chance on Him and His truth, banking on His spirit In all the, experiences of living | can a man find what it means that Jesus Christ is a Saviour. Then, in- deed, if one follows Him and keeps| on following, will he come to know that He is the Son of God.” | It seems to the layman that the | New Britain clergyman's simple, prac- | tical method of proving the Divinity | of Jesus Christ—or proving all the Divinity it is necessary for man to know——would bring a happier, more just, more clean and peaceful world than would continued discussion of the various viewpoints of theologians. Let men be as advanced as they de- re; let them repudiate what they will, it is certain that if one who fol- | lows His example may thus prove His divinity to himself, there is need of nothing further. a viour of GARDEN THOUGHTS A perfect time to become original and murmur something about the Calm before a storm, the darkness just before dawn and if winter comes can spring be far behind! Following along this line of thought it is quite natural, since the weather is cold, to think about the spring and the gar- dens It had occurred to many people to begin to talk about gardens anyway, but when a certain Mrs. Winter i'” addressed by the President upon the | | gentleman on the matter of publieity Ancideal man is ene who hgs the heart of a lion, the tenderness of woman, the bains of a Webster, and the dignity of a traffie cop, regarding funds spent to influence publie opinion that the coincidence is worthy of note. IS IT POSSIBLE?

E. Winner of the South Hille High school, of Pittsburgh, Pa. to the department of superintend- | ence of the National Education Asso- | clation. He said: | "“The fundamental work of the high schools is to develop centers for training in leadership and service, | not only for the future but for the immediate present. It is only young people live within school that they are able thus to live well with- ‘out school. All types of activity which make for training in leadership and service are justifiable within the school. More and more regular op- portunity must be afforded pupils for participation in the work for the school. It is only thus that right habits of work may be formed. “Extra-curricular activities should come as a felt need within the school rather than a definite pro- gram being presented simply for the purpose of organization.

These figures were | given the department of superintend- ence of the National Education asso- ciation today, by Dr. George D.

In the State of New York, where an intensive study has been made, for the year 1920-21 in one community the current expense per pupil in elementary schools was $26. In another community within the same state the amount was $272. “The property tax furnishes almost all of the revenue for echools in the State of New York. The variations in the equalized assessed value of prop- erty per eapita is as great as that yshown for schodl expenditures.
