Hall, chafrman of the and taxation. This fact is emphasized by the delay in the sale of city bonds for schools, water department expan- sion, sewers and subways, which was consummated this week. The bonds could have been disposed of geveral months ago but Mr. Hall who is a student of the stock and bond mar- ket, advised the administration to proceed slowly or, in fact, proceed at all at that time. The market was soft and Mr. Hall was convinced that the city could obtain a better price for its bonds within a few months. His policy was justi- ficd when the actual sale took place the price being the highest obtained | for bonds in the history of the city. | In another respect Mr. Hall's ad- | vice was capitalized. 1t the bonds had been disposed of when action was first considered the city would have had to pay the interedt which would have accrued between that date and the present. When you | estimate the interest for &everal | months on hond issues of $575,000 vou have a pretty penny. That amount is now in the city’s coffers. Colleges and universities {hroughout the country are attempt- ing to cope with the problem of how to 1imit enrollment in such a way as to keep out young men and young women who do not intend to put to the hest possible use their advanced training.

I he does so he becomes a tradesman sooner and h an opportunity to improve himself and advance carlier to the higher paid jobs and the foremanships of industry. If a young man doesn't in- tend to use his education to advan- tage then he shouldn’t be taking up the time of teachers, putting expense on the city and taking up the place of some hoy who really wants to study and advance himself. New Britain doesn’t nee new high school; what it necds is to weed out fellows.

A few years ago several members of New Britain lodge of Elks con- ceived the idea of sending Christ- mas packages to wayward boys and girls in homes maintained by or ap- proved by the state. Many of these young people had been forgotten by relatives and friends; to them If- cember 25 was only another date on the calendar. Their happiness knew no bounds when that someone, somewhcre, has thought of them on the Day of Days among Christians. The movement spread to other institutrons so that today hundreds who are cut off from society by the courts are re- membered every year, receiving a box containing good things to eat. Elks lodges in other cities have adopted the policy established by [ New Britain lodge and will send next month parcels to boys and girls, men and women, whose drab days are spent in confinement.
