Mr. Holmes takes a more op-| timistic view of the difficulty. He be- lieves in going through the rock in the instead .of around it by placing responsibility for education where he believes it belongs—on the state. New Britain has been expending a road great amount of intense thought on | | of someone connected with the con- | the education tax problem. Critics of the school administration, some of them whose motive is not above ques- | tion and others who are sincere, are crying for a Moses to lead us out of the financial wilderness. Perhaps Mr. Holmes' article may help them. It de- serves consideration because, of all the opinions on the subject, it is the! only lucid view thus far expressed _Which takes into consideration econo- mics and our moral obligation toward the growing generation.

No one claims that their future success would not have come had they not sold papers in their early youth if a boy is going to be a succ selling morning papers, for instance, he has to get up early or his market is impaired. But certainly the habits of punctuality and business he quired achieving success in the news paper-selling business do not away from his ability to sueeeed later.
