Educators guiding the destinies of | schools have here anticipated the ! existence of . such a question and have met it by having a survey of the system and its results, taken simultaneously with similar surveys in 84 American cities. Out of this survey have come the | following reports on the teaching of | so-called fundamental subjects: | Reading—All grades in the city are up to or above the standard for their mental ability. Writing—In both speed and quall- | ty the New Britain score is above | the standard score—for all grades. | Arithmetic—The city score for | each grade is above the standard | score for the grade—in the upper grades the scores in each case ex- ceed the standard score for the next | higher grade. Spelling—The average spelling ability is equal to the average spell- ing ability of the 84 cities. Language—The city score for all grades exceeds the “standard score. Three R's Are Fundamental Reading, writing and arithmetic | are the subjects commonly under- ! stood to be fundamental in acquiring | even the simplest kind of an educa- | tion. They furnish the keys that | open the door to the printed page, whether it be the newspaper, the book perused for entertainment or to while away the hours, or the| volume scanned for sought-after in- formation; they make possible the | coriveyance of message§ from one | person to another through the medi- | um of letter, and allow an under- | standing of the contract which binds | the actions of a person or Innlrcs‘ him the right to hold his property; | they make possible accuracy in measure and financial dealings and | make safe the more exact sciences, ‘The three R's, then, have an un- thallenged right to be known as the fundamentals of education. In New Britain, the children’s ad- | vancement in these basic subjects is | studied carefully from term to term |and from year to year. This, to- | gether with the elimination of part- time attendance, only recently ac- complished, should insure more | nearly uniform progress and the | general average should be decidedly raised, members of the school com- mittee believe. The ‘“Little Red Schoolhouse"” gave instructions in a limited nuth- ber ot subjects, little more than the “fundamentals.” Little time was | given to the study of health. There was no plan in operation to_train pupils ip citizenship or offer experi- ences in social life. General in- formation was gained almost entire- ly out of the school. Modern schools as typified here, stand for all the good features of the old system, glorified with the intro- duction of new ideas and new sub- jects. School buildings are made more comfortable, safe and sanitary | and are better equipped; teachers are required to meet a higher standard than ever; the subjects taught are more varied and are de- signed to promote the deve]upmcnt‘ of healthy, well-informed and useful citizens. It is in the introduction of | these subjects that the apprehension | of fads and frills comes. | Why They Are Taught | Btate laws require two and one- | half hours of physical education a week. Under the old scheme of | things exercise and health education | were considered to be subjects for | pursuit after school hours. In ex- planation of the other so-called | “new subjects,” the school depart- ment has the following to say: “Music—The person who can ap- | preciate music enjoys one of the | satistying pleasures of life. We do | not aim to produce expert musi- | clans, but we do teach music with | the hope that our pupils may appre- | clate good music and dislike bad | musie. ~ 48 | “Art—Art education increases the pupils’ appreciation and judgment of beautiful things. A knowledge of | color creates good taste in the selec- tion of clothing, furniture and decor- ative ornaments for the home. This education prepares children for modern industry where greater at- | | teet failed to fire. “I've got a pretty good head if a | | or Mrs. Emma Doye: BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927. “Modern subjects, as taught in the schools of New Britain, help to de- velop healthy, well-tlormed and useful citizens.” DYNAMITE FAILS 70 BLOW OFF HEAD Man Lires Alter Unasual At tempt at Snicide Shamokin, Pa, May 18 (UP)— Irvin Paul, 41, today placed a stick of dynamite under his head and an- other under his feet while he lay on the ground, touched a match to the fuse and although one stick ex- ploded, lived to tell the tale. The stick of dynamite under Paul's head exploded while the one under' his stick of dynamite won't blow it oft,” Paul said to attaches at the hospital, where he was taken. He suffered severe lacerations of the head and face, & broken left arm and cuts and bruises about the body. He also was injured internally. Hospital attaches believed Paul will recover, although it is feared he will lose the sight of his left eye, Shortly after midnight Paul ap- peared at the shack used by Joseph Donovan, a night watchman at a stone quarry near here and asked to be allowed to sleep there. Donovan retused the request on the ground that it was against his orders. On being refused Paul pulled two sticks of dynamite from his pocket and said: 3 “I'm going to kill myself, my wite The watchman then quieted the man and allowed him to sleep in the shanty until 5 a. m. when he awakened him and told him to leave. Paul walked a few hundred yards from the shack and made his sul- cide attempt. He told Donovan before leaving that his wife had ‘“chased me out of the house. Mrs. Doyer recently - testified against Paul at a hearing before a justice of the peace. At the hospital, taches: “I just got sick of making a tow path from my house to the Squire's office.” Paul -told at- | Physician Explodes Report of Poverty Investigating a report lurne’f into police headquarters by Officer John Smigel, that Mrs. Frank Golon, aged about 70 of 15 Noble street, formerly Laurel street, was ill in surround- ings that weré not clean, Dr. G. W. Dunn, city physician, said this after- noon that the report was exaggerat- ed, and he failed to find confirmation of the officer's findings. Mrs. Golon is able to be up and about the house, Dr. Dunn found. She and her hus- band are living in circumstances that are not the best, but there are hun- dreds of families in this city who live under similar conditions, he said. According to Officer Smigel, the woman’s husband has money in the bank but will not spend it for medi- cal attention for Mrs. Golon, who, he reported, has been {ll for threc month. Officer Peter Cabelus also reported that he had been notified that the woman needed assistance. Believing the case one demanding immediate attention, Captain Kelly reported it to Superintendent J. L. Doyle of the public welfare depart- ment and Dr. Dunn's investigation followed. . RAISE $80 FOR RELIEF Approximately $80 was ralsed at a bridge party glve last evening by the employes of the New Britain Trust Co.

The affair was under the auspices of the Girls’ club of the Trust Co.

Their son, Giuseppi Curto, 37, whom neighbors caught and held for the police after they had heard ‘shots and had seen him running from the house, was taken to the police station for questioning. ‘The son appeared unable to speak English. Neighbors told the police that they heard four shots and that when Giuseppe Curto ran from the house he had a revolver in his hand. The elder Curto died while being taken to the city hospital, where it was sald that his wife had a bullet ;wound behind one ear and was in a serious condition.
