The first thing we know the survey ecommittee will coming right out Aand saying that it's a shame the way the school committee has been trying to get along without spending any money. People rather had the idea that after the survey committee got through Its work there wouldn't he Any more taxes at all to pay be- cause the school committee's expenses | ‘were all out of resson and they would be abolished. And now what's this? Members of the survey committee come along and say they are going to report to the whole committee| that the Bartlett school bullding should be condemned. Quite prob- ably the school committee has felt for some time that such was the situation. Quite probably, also the Bartlett school would not be con- demned should the recommendation come from such committee, But the survey committee! That's different. It begins to look as though the “har- mony” between the survey committee and the school committee, which har- | be mony has been mentioned by one| close to the school committee as be- ginning to appear, is an established fact. Certainly the school commit- tee will not object to having this school condemned and proper provi- sion made for the scholars which have been using it. Then, possibly, will come the rub. But here is an indication that the survey committee is learning that the appeals of the school committee were not so outra- geous. On the other hand the school com- mittee will consider the advisability of cutting down the teaching staff of the prevocational High school in or- der to save expense. Saving expense is good; cutting down teaching forces is bad unless it may be done without decreasing the efficiency of the sys- tem. Then come requests from peo- ple in the eastern section that would make the school committee spend more money for playgrounds. There are rumors afloat, too, that some children were on part time when there were accommodations for them. Certainly we are learning a lot about school matters, And, as many times remarked in these columns, all this is good—this opening of eyes—if the eyes of all concerned will be opened and if there is co-operation by all to maintain the reputation of the city for a fine school system as inexpen- sively as possible. The more one learns the more one learns how much there is to learn. THE SUNDAY BILL. Well, they have the thing so that the wishes of Governor Templeton in regard to the Sunday baseball bill will be probably disre- garded. That is if the Senate passes the amended bill, just approved by the house, making it obligatory State's attorneys to enforce the pres- ent Sunday law upon complaint being made. Of course the Governor might veto the measure if it comes to him, but he would hesitate to disapprove maneuvered a bill which is plainly calculated to | make the present law effective. Governor Templeton was against permitting by law professional base- ball playing on Sunday. He preferred to have conditions remain as they are. Baseball was played but could be gtopped if anyone objected. No one objected, he pointed out referring to| ‘Waterbury, it was not stopped. It would be a different thing again if the law playing profesgional baseball on Sun- and the enforcement of against day were placed in the hands of State authorities, The would be stopped, and the together with most of the zens of Waterbury, not want it to be stepped If there were to be planned some | nice way to put Governor Templeton | plaving probably Governor, good citi for instance, did in an embarrassing position, better could have been found the one which seems to chosen putting through amendment to the Bunday bill. eomes to the Governor he will than have been in this have to face the dilemma of appearing n.: law-enforcement refuse to favor bill or of doing something decidedly unpepular In either case the Gove There are those in Hartford who planning to be to chortlg “Charile, heads I win; tails you lose a in his “home town."” r 18 the loser. | able | some time by | thinka, for | nothing | 1t MRI CHANDLER'S RULING ( ssioner Chandler's ruling | that an employe should recelve eom prasation . contracted tuberculosis wh ' veaching results open up & new feld for argu ry will have far and wi ment has been contended for lahor erganizations that an employe should he eompengated for vocational diseases and manufae- turers have refused to he eonvineed I as steadfastly v is roling. idenen from a dependable source that the oye in question hecame a vietim emy of pulmonary tubereulosis by pers forming certain duties whieh required his presence in heated kilns and exs Mr, Chandler has al-| Progress posed to dust ways displayed a spirit and of A% one of those pione who fought for the original compensation | met In this state, it Is fitting that he should go a step farther, even though it be a revolutionary step, and declare that & man who becomes diseased be- eause of his duties is entitled to com- pensation equally a8 well as the man | who suffers a physieal injury while at his labors, Tt is doubtful whether the | facturers will let the case Mr, Chandler's opinlon, An appeal to superior court would be the next| {logical course and from there to the supreme court, if necessary, Behind the manufacturers are the insurance companies which are as deeply inter- | manu- rest with | ested as the leaders of industry them- selves.

It is also prob- able that manufacturers, at the be- hest of the Insurance companies, will install devices which will reduce the possibility of workers contracting per- manent organic trouble. THE COURANT AND MILK. The Waterbury Republican reprints an editorial from the Bridgeport Post which refers to an editorial stftement of the Hartford Courant implying that the farmers have to get up an hour earlier, because of advanced train schedules, in order to get milk on those earlier trains in the morn- ing. *“But if The Hartford Courant says The Post, “that the milk which the milk train brings to the city at 3 a. m. is taken from the cows at 2 a. m. it is greener of milk affairs than even the New York Telegraph, that organ of billboards and dizzy white wa This refer- ence to ‘the Telegraph is inspired by the fact that The Courant's editorial rebuked that newspaper for a “slur- ring editorial on ‘cow-milkers.'" The Post goes on to say: “The milk says good-by to the cow a good many hours hefore the milk *trains call it. If the milk train calls earlier, the is fresher, that is allL” Has the supporter of the honest farmer been deceiving us knowing| our ignorance of the farm, the meth- ods and practices in regard to milk- ing? Have the farmers' representa- | tives been pulling the wool over our | urban eyes and trying to make us weaken in our stand for the earlier hours by representing the farm | struggling out of bed an hour earlier in the winter mereiy in order | to get the morning milk that earlier train? And if such deception has been practiced upon us, has the benign old Courant been a party to | such deception? It cannot be; it | cannot be.

Impulse is a product of a warm heart; second thought Is a product of cold feet. If the envelope has a window in it, there is nothing else in it you care to see, Another form of violent exercise that is bad for the nerves is running into debt. Lifo is just a perennial business of wishing you hadn't spent so much last month, Another fine thing about being humble is that it makes you feel so superior to ordinary people. At first the immigrant is happy in an air of freedom, but in a few years he can't be happy without free air.

The nationa! economic league an- nounces the result of a referendum to its natlonal council on eight of the most important questions concerning| international relations. | The significance of this vote, the league states, is due to the fact that the 3,000 members of its national counci! are directly nominated and elected by preferential ballot from each state, solely with the view to| their standing or qualification as leaders of public opinion. Among the members of the council elected to represent New Britain are Albert N. Ahbe, James E. Cooper, George P, Hart, Howard S. Hart, F. G. Platt and H. C. M. Thomson. The questions submitted, with the result of the vote, are follows: 1. Should the United States enter the league of nations with such res- ervations as may he acceptable to the government of the United States? Yes, 890 (71¢7) No, 327 (206%).

ORGY OF RECHLESS DRIVING REPORTED 1,065 Licenses Suspended During First Four Months of Year |he |ed on ye | | E Startling increases in the reckless driving of automobiles and in intoxi- cation on the part of automobile op- erators are noted in a report just is- sued by the statistical burcau of the department of motor vehicles, statement, covering the first months of this year, shows that 1065 automobile drivers sacrified their prive ilege to operate in Connecticut be- cauge of various violations of the mo- tor vehicle law. During the same period last year there were but 202 uspensions, less than one-fifth of this year's number. Some of the increase is credited to the growing ecfficiency of the depart- ment in checking up on the various offenses, through the cooperation of police departments and Jegal courts, but the department officials have lit- tle doubt that the major offenses, such as reckless driving and the operating of a motor vehicle by one under the influence of liquor, are greatly on lhv)i ascent. During the month of April of this year, the high point of 644 suspen- was reached. A large number | of these were for failure to report ac- cidents. Many more during last month were for operating while intoxicated or operating without a license, 34 Lose Licenses, | Reckless driving, so far this year, | hLas lost thirty-threc licenses for Con- necticut drivers, in comparison with but one suspension last year.
