Holmes' opinion that | the public school system is the caus of the development of United States into one of the world powers. | The speaker voiced the bellef that Secnior High school pulips are attend- ing classes willingly because they are over the age limit which de- mands regular attendance at school The coming generation will solve many of the problems that were not settled during his time, Mr. Hol said. Among those mentioned were tie state's rights theory and the col- lective and individual theory of gov- ernment. Mr. Holmes also spoke at ing of the Senior High School Par- ents and Teachers' association last night. He urged the parents not to force schools to suffer by cutting ap- propriations. He said children h:m»] only a short time to learn while they are young and if they are curtailed | serious results would follow later.

The members of the band will be in white trousers and red sweaters to present an appearance in rmony as nearly as possible to the school colors. Principal Slade said vesterday in explaining why he had given per- sion to the boys to furnish the music at the game in preference to iy outside band. that he had done o only after he had been assured that the boys would be organized and make an appearance creditable {0 the school. The fact that Super- sor of Music Mathews had con- sented to take the band under his wing at rehearsals and see that it ame organized was an important factor in his decision, Principal Slade said The band Hartford game which will play at the will not be the same band that has played at the New Haven Hillhouse and Bulkeley games, but will be a combination of | those musicians with others of the school who have been persuaded to join. It is expected that at least 20 student musicians will compose the organization As in former years a subscription list to provide a fund for hiring an outside band had been passed among the students, but because of the few contributions, it was impossible to hire a band.

Wisecrack does placed in quotation marks, for the word is already in the diction So are racket, racketeer, bootlegge and speakeasy. “Put on the spot” is there, too, but in its older sense -as a police detective putting a criminal “on the spot.” One may serve a stretch in penitentiary, too. without tation marks.

One geological that came out not long ago had 5.000 new words in it. If T wanted to go into the field of medicine, T could add 5,000 words more to the dictionary. “But these, T believe, should go into scientific and medical diction- aries. I'm for giving colloquial Eng- lish a chance.” Ordinarily it takes a word five years to get into the dictionary. If a distinguished scholar or litera man happens to use it, the proba- tionary period may be shorter. For ° instance, George Bernard Shaw in a recent address which was brought into the United radio used the expression “get away with it His introduction was not needed, however. The expression al- ready was in Dr. Vizetelly's tionery. Matthews Former Authority “We used to accept as authorit the late Brander Matthe Dr. Vizetelly said today. “But Brander Matihews is dead.

Only words do not disgrace themselves or marry beneath their stations. They just die “Whenever I think of the terms that have passed out, I'm reminded of the beautiful night-blooming cercus on the gray dawn of the morning after,” Dr. Vizetelly eaid That which was a glorious flower illuminated by the rays of the moon resembles a rotten potato in the zlare of the sun.” not have to be any “stretch But quo- Married for 30 Years, Husband Seeks Divorce William .
