S Principal Henry A, Tirrell of the Norwich' Free Academy writes The Bulietin_as follows regarding the school district consolidation question: Believing, as I do, that consolidation of school districts, would greatly im- prove educational conditions in the town of Norwich, I venture to submit the following statement (o the officials and voters of our various districts. Whatever may be the fate of the co s0l, on. bill now before our legisls ture, our five chartered districts, be- ing independent of legislative control, can be consolidated only by mutual consent. The question of consolidation is pri- marily an educational question, and not a financial one. If thg good of the children of the town démands the change, we, as_public spirited citizens, should bring about consolidation, even if the schools of our districts are al- ready sfitisfactory to us. If we can give to weaker districts the strength of our own, e shall be doing a pub- lic service, Of the educationa] advan- tages to be secured through consol- idation there seems to be no dgubt. It*ls said, however, that some of the voters of our districts hesitate to make the desired change because of ‘an unwillingness 1o pay more taxes for wchool purposes. To show the ge- sirability of consolidation from a ancial point of view, I submit the owing statement 'or the last ten years the town of b raised by tax, and ap- portioned to school districts the fol- jowing sums, in addition to all money derived from state, town deposit fund or other sources: 1899. ... 1900, . 1901 190. 9,925.90 1903. 42,126.00 This rapid increase has come from the new understanding of the. school law wheyeby it is now' acknowledged t the Xown must legally pay prac- ally all reasonable and necessary expenses of each district. Statements—Suggests Districts Select ‘Delegates to ( In other words, it has already come to pass that the individual taxpayer pays more than one-half his school tax into the general town fund, in the distribution of which he has no voice, for it is spent at the discretion f our 14 different district committees. 'en years ago the taxpayer paid most of his school tax to his own district. Todaty his district tax is in most cases less than the town school tax. The estimated expense of the town schoo] apportionments for 1909 s $49,- 23.86. Thisg is about a 3-mill tax on our grand list. In the past year (1908) the total sum raised by taxation for our schog:x e by the various districts and by th town, after deducting the sums paid by certain districts, as interest on their schoo] debt, amowpted to less than $78,000, If the town had pald all this money and there had been no dis- trict taxes whatever, the rate would have been less than 4 3-4 mills on a dollar. It is clear, however, that under con- solidation expenses instead of being $78,000 would have been cut down in many ways, of which L mention a. few: I Savings from uniting certain schools, abolishment of a few poorly attended schools, and petter grouping of pupils in higher grades: IL Savings in ex- pense of supervision; IIL Savings in purchases of supplies, in printing bills and in clerical work; IV. Savings in cost of teaching such subjects as drawing and singing. Probably 4 1-2 mills would have been sufficient to pay all expe Since all di: ses, ricts have reduced their debts to nothing, “er to a sum that comld be easily met in the district tself, the time seems unusually pro- pitious for reconsidering the matter of consolidtion. If each chartered dis- trict would appoint one or two repre- sentatives who should, with like repre- sentatives from other districts, impar- tially investigate this whole subject, an amicable adjustment could be made that would give us better schools on the average than we have at present, without increasing the taxes of the individual citizen.

Fitted out with a new American flag which he carried wrapped around its staff for convenience, Sergt, James Walsh of the United-States army left this city at 5.30 Tuesday afternoon for w London, on his way on a trans- continental walk from Boston to San Francisco. Thomas H. Wilson, driv- ing his sterling little pacing mars Roan Lady, hitched to a top buggy, went| along to set the pace to the Whaling City, as Sergeant Walsh sald he want- ed to make it in two hours. A tele- phone report from a New London newspaper office showed that he pra. tically accomplished this, as he reach- ed there at about 1.30 o'clock and left for New Haven at 11 o'elock. The new flag carrled by the ser- geant was presented to him by The Bulletin, and henceworth he will b known as the “Man with the Flag. This is what he likes to be known by and he was mightily pleased after he had expressed a wish for a flag to have The Bulletin supply him with Old Glory. Sergeant Walsh, who is years old, claims a record of twenty seven years of service under its folds. Sergeant Walsh is a walker who ar- rived in Boston on_ April 1st, hav- ing come from San Francisco on foot all the way, and has now turned around to repeat the journey and in- cidentally beat Edward Payson West- on into Sen Francisco. He arrived in this city at 11 a. m., having stopped over Tuesday might at Plainfeld, after walking from Danielson, which was Jeft about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. The pedestrian set out from Plainfield at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning, took breakfast at Jewett Clty about eight o'clock and arrived here at 11, accom- panfed by Chatrles Borders of North Scituate, R, L, who ig to travel along with him to se€ that he walks all the way, keeps to the highways and trav- els on no railroad tracks, which is one of the conditions of the wager that is up on his walk. The watcher may walk or accept any chance of con- veyance that offers. Mr. Borders took the trolley to New London, when the sergeant left, and will probably accom- pany him to New Haven. Upon arrival here, making a conspi uous figure in hig khaki suit and les gings with 2 bag slung over his back and carrying a blackthorn stick pre- sented him by the Hibernians of Bo ton, the sergeant visited the postoffice and obtained Postmaster Caruthers’ signature in a book he carries for this purpose. ‘The sergeant's feet we troubling him some and he decided to rest awhile, belng an Flk of Philadel- Pure Boneless SALMGN 2 cans I7¢c CODFISH 2 1bs. 1 7c | SARDINES 2 cans 9¢ RADISHES bunch 4¢ LETTUGE - head To CABBAGE (New) Ib. 4¢ ook CLAMS can 9c Neck HERRING Ib.

While in this eity, Sergeant Waleh visited the shoe department of the Manhattan clothing company to get a pair of shoes, showing an order from a maker of rubber heels authori repairg to the walker's shoes. Propri- etor Kronig did a little better than t order called for and passed him out a pair of shoes gratis. The sergeant also visited Captain Hagberg, wish- ing to get a pair of leggings, but th tain had none of the kind suited to him, Wherever the sergeant goes he se- | cures signatures of all the meets and many of these were to his book on Tusday, meeting many of them at the Wauregan house and the Del-Hoff hotel, His~ appearance shows the effect of his long walk, and ie says he is nothing but skin and bone, having lost 50 pounds on the trip. He allows himself from 65 70 days to-get to San Francisco, ing due there by July 1st, and he ures on beating Weston because will going through New Jerse sylvania direct to Pitts way west.
