Teachers jare familiar with the shortcomings of | their pupils. The best way for par- ents to familiarize themselves on this point is to consult with the | teachers. This forms direct con- act between two of the important (factors in the child's life—the home 1und the school.

All of the best amateur racers in the state were brought here and hundreds of people from this city witnessed the races, The contests were generall held in sprints of 1-2 mile and a mile, although five mile races were also held. The winners were given medals and silver loving cups. New Rritain was represented by some of the fastest riders in the state, Among these were Bert Thay- er, who is now engaged in the elec- trical business: Leon Gladding, whe worked with his father in the sport- ing business: Fred Lawrence, at present a money order clerk at the post office; Clarence (“Bub”) Beach, |who is dead; Johnny Brannigan, who has left town; Kddie Coutes, who has also left town and “Dick’ Woods, who is in the lunchroom business in Springficld. All of these men were crack riders and cap- tured many prizes. Thayer held the ted. It was widely known before the campaign that if he were elect | ©d he would make numerous chang- s in commissions. There was a cr ing demand for substitutions on some of the hoards which had not functioned satisfactorily, and these substitutions have been made. During an administration a lot of deadwood accumulates. Appointees are found to be without qualifica- tions for their office. They become chair warmers or *“yes” men.
