AN ALL-NEW BRITAIN HIGH SCHOOL New Britain’s high school is over- crowded. The addition of new pupils every year averages 30. This annual increase gives no promise of di- minishing in the future. More room must be found. It eannot be found in the present building. What to do? The town fathers of Newington the other evening voted against con- structing a high school at this time in that community. The topic has also been discussed in Berlin. For New Britain is casting a look at the high school and discovers that there are more than 100 pupils from these two suburbs who =2re studying there, each paying the city $209 an- nually for the privilege. The New Britain school committee cannot help taking note of a con- ditlon that makes for overcrowd- ing. The city is willing to use its present building for the accommo- datlon of outside pupils who are| willing to pay for the privilege of | attendance; but the city is not will- | ing at this time to invest in an ad- ditlonal high school building on this aceount. That point is sure to be brought up for determination at an early date and it 18 entirely likely | that the ukase will go forth that no more puplils can be accommodated from the surrounding tioned. Such a towns men- ukase already struck Plalnville some years ago, so that | town found it necessary to construct | a splendid high school to accommo- date its youthful educational aspir- ants. The school is a credit to the town, too, and though Plainville had to dig down deeply into the town's exchequer to provide the building, nobody there is sorry. The town has something very much worth while, and the building is pointed out to strangers as a notable accos the town's advantages. At present there are only three pupils from Plainville left in the New Britain high: when they graduate there wi be none. All Plainville pupils will be educated in Plainville her Newington and Berlin in du. will coma to the same point. haps they will not fall in love with the idea of “spending money” to at- tain this goal, but there in all pro- babilitly there will be no other way out of the diem The normal of high Achool pupils in New Britain could be accommodated for at least five years if the school plant were devot- ed exclusively to New Britain pupils.

There seems to be no other method possible but to confing the plant to the instruction New Britain pupils in future, It is not a matter of what we would like to do, but what we are compelled to do. BURRITT HOMESTEAD ACTION NEEDED ‘The plan to rehabilitate the old homestead of Elihu Burritt has gained impetus through the appoint- ment of a councilmanic committee to look into the atter and decide up- on a plan. This matter is one that should not be indefinitely delayed. Last year, when the subject was| one of general discussion and action was brought nearer than at any previous time, nothing finally was| done, it being announced that the plan would have to be “delayed for another year,” or until there is money at hand to bring about the desired rebuilding of the old man- sion. There ars some people in the community—old-timers perhaps— who belleve with Sherman—or was it Grant—that the way to proceed is to proceed. This business of shelv- ing things is entirely too much of a ‘local characteristic to be proud of. Either it is worth while to rehabili- tate the Burritt mansion and make of it a shrine for citizens of the present and for posterity, or the idea | is no good. There should be ro dif- | ficulty in coming to a decision upon this point. Once that is done, what is the object of the eternal delaying about it? We look llke . princes oli procrastination rather than demons| of progress. The scheme now is to pay for the rehabllitation through public sub- scription. This may have something to commend it, but {t is the city's | way of passing the buck to the gen- eral public, the city’s way of evad-. |ing its own duty and letting the public attend to it. Still, a plan to meet the costs through public sub- | scription may be better than doing nothing at all. If it is a case of pass- ing the hat rather than remaining moored in the quagmire of do-noth- ingness, then let the hat be passed; anything is better than being stalled : in the manner we have been for sev- | eral years, Elihu Burritt was New Britain's most famed citizen. His ideals were projected at a time when the world was little prepared to receive them; but he set an example to everyone with a good idea under his hat by devoting his life to perpetuating what he knew to be right. The “learned blacksmith” was the originator of movements which since his day have attained worldwlde | recognition. He was known and ad- mired by all the public men of his time, and his notable idealism has| finally conquered human hearls everywhere and lies imbedded in modern thought and aspirations. He | was a benefactor of mankind by shaping its thought; and there are | jmany who believe this is the most noble of human benefaction. We have used his name to desig- | nate schools, a hotel, and have a monument erccted to perpetuate his | memory. His grave Is decorated an- | nually by the American Legion. Every school child in the city is made acquainted with the life and works of the city's most notable resident. But we have left his old homestead go the way of all old buildings. It is still time to retrace our steps and do our duty. Let's go. H i | i WHAT CONSTITUTES ARMAMENT? disarmament’ The take place in Geneva s confronted | with a problem that has been hang- { Ing fire for almost a year. The ques- | tion is, what constitutes armament? Ordinarlly it would be casy to de- cide this question, were it approach- ed from the conventional angle by , all the powers concerned. Armament | { consists of armies and navles, is the | conventional answer. France, however, disagrees. Arm- | ament consists of more than armics | and navies, it contends. consists of all the conference to | Armament | resources of nation which can be of benefit dur- ing time of war, Is the rench stand- | point.

France should realize that if dis- armament {8 to be more than a catchword it must consist of more | than & means for academical discus- sion based upon artificlal principles. It is not natural resources which bother natfons, which throw fear into them when contemplating a neighbor, but their actual arm- aments. Natural resources which could be transtormed into fighting resources did not cause the world war; it was armaments, and every time France looked beyond the Rhine it was not that alarmed it but the German army and navy.| Natural resources of course finally had a decisive influence on the con- flict after it started, especially the resources of the United States; but! no one can claim that natural re- sources instigated it. France is indulging in hairsplit- ting. It is merely her wdy to side- step an issue that she does not like to see go too far. She wishes no curb to be placed upon auxiliary war- ships and submarines, because she wants to depend upon these to maintain her line of communica- tions with her colonies in case of | emergency. Submarines, the strong- est arm in her need to maintain her | line of communications with the African colonies, her strongest arm to protect troop ships bringing colonfals from northern African. It will be hard for the council to deal with this situation under the present mental outlook in France. Instead of sending delegates, France has sent an ‘“informer,” which is another name for a delegate intend- ed not to possess sulicient power to| any arrangement that and without doubt they are | engage in The influence of the United States at the conference is stronger than generally realized, and it is based ! largely upon economic France from time to timo needs financial assistance, and this is to be obtained only in the United States or | Great Britain, mostly the former.

I done with it, and in this way the United States may be able to insist upon its conception of what con- stitutes armament in a most practi- | cal fashion when the loans is ripe. time to sign POOR COLLEGE STUDENTS Joht D. Rockefeller, Jr, the ot er day stated that colleges ehou charge larger tuition fees; that stu- | dents should be made to pay for what they get. Huger W. Jervey, dean of the law school of Columbia university, in a | report to alumni, said the time is not far away when only the rich may become educated; that college costs have mounted enormously and are still going up. Worthy youths | who happen to have brains and character but lack money will sut- fer. The high cost of education has been worrying a multitude of par- ents.
