SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. maylis pense, The last of the season, and perhaps one of the most lmroflanl was the meeting of the Principals’ ciub at the Broadway schoolhouse on Tuesday af- ternoon, at which time the committee which was named some time ago to look into the advisability of the town paying the tuition of pupils at the Free Academy made a report and it was unanimously accepted. It urged that steps be taken to bring the matter before the boards of education, com- mitteemen, annual district meetings and the selectmen will be asked to put it in the call for the annual town meeting. The report of the committee —which included F. J. Werkin, C. H. Hobson and J. B. Stanton—follows: A careful and thorough investigation of the existent,conditions relative to the maintenante of a publc hizh school, or the payment of ‘the tuition fee at an academy, in case a public high school is mot provided, by the cities throughout the United States whose population numbers twenty thousand and upwards has been made. This_investigation revealed some very interesting facts—facts whose import is such that they demand the widest publicity possible, in order that every citizen of the wn of Norwich may fully comprehefd them. Not a single city with a population of twenty thofisand or more, through- out the length and. breadth of our country, in any one of the forty-six states, is without some public pro- vision for a secondary educatfon. In & few cities of this size and in innum- erable smaller cities the tuition of all pupils who attend an accepted private academy, within or without their bor- Gers, is paid by the public. This i true of many small towns, which, be- cause of the small number of pupils to attend, deem it unwise to establish a high sthool of their own. In towns and cities where academies had been es- tablished before the advent of the free public high schools, the towns and cit- ies as a rule have deemed it wise, ex- pedient and economical to pay tuition at the existing academy. This is par- ticularly true in the smaller towns and cities where two institutions doing the same line of work could not thrive. The result is practically the same in any of these methods of ohild has a secondary education offered him without the payment of any tui- tion personally. Norwich Makes No Provision. Norwich {s, then, in a class by her- seif, in that she makes absolutely no public proviston for a secondary edu- cation. There is an academy of good standing in our city,an academy whose endowment enables it to offer a scc- ondary education to our children at a very nominal figure, $15 per year. In many cases this slight tuition fee is prohibitive, especially when the cost of books, clothing, transportation and the other essentials involved by at- tendance thereat are taken into con- sideration. This fee, nominal though it may be, ought not to fall upon the individual for payment. The payment of this fee, even though it were but one dollar, is a public duty, and is so regarded elsewhere. If the town of Norwlich can furnish her children with a secondary education at the per cap- ita ocost $15 per year, she is very fortunate, as most towns and cities pay three, four, five and even six times that amount for such an education. The one strong feature of the public payment of this tuition, in addition to that of justice anq duty, would be the change of attitude toward this educa- tion, for then the Academy would be considered an integral part of our school system, and no child would be cation until he had finished a course in that institution. It is a fact that the average parent thinks that he has suf- ficiently educated his child when that child has completed all the schooling that the public will furnish. As a con- sequence, at the present time the com- pletion of a grammar school course is looked upon by many as sufficient. It is_clearly patent that m child is not ready to €0 to work at the averafe age of leaving grammar schoool; that he is not sufficiently matured mentally, mor- ally or physically. Furthermore a high school education profits pupils, who acquire greater power to meet the responsibilities and opportunnities of life; and likewise it profits a_ com- munity, which receives as a product a more intelligent citizenship. Money spent in raising the status of citizen- ship is never wasted. The payment of this tuition by the town will cost money. It is evident that the town is already laboring un- der a heavy financial load. Yet, this is a question of right, justice, and duty: ‘and right, justice and duty should prevail, no’ matter what the cost may be. It costs other cities much more; _ they, too, are carr heavy financial burdens: still, they do this, and have dome it for years. Is it not time that Norwich should f: into line? sary to Change the Law. the present statute relative to the payment of tuition by a town which has no local high school, it is debatable whether or not such pay- ment can be legally made by the town of Norwich. Such payment should be made; such payment should be legally made: and therefore, if necessary. the law should be changed. The evident intent of the law was to place the opportunity of a secondary education within the |grasp of pupils living in small towns which could not provide a hign school of their own. By the ehactment of this law, these towns were enabled to send these pupils to the nearest high school, being reim- bureed to a large extent by the state. It is extremely doubtful that the fram- ers of this statute intended to prevent this town from paying tuition at the Norwich Free Academy. There should be nothing to prevent this, it the town wishes to do it, without any desire to be reimbursed ‘by the state. Should the existence of an academy in a town make any difference in the legality of scuh payment of tuition by the town, provided the town has no high school? | If so, the presence of such an insti- tution is a positivé evil, mot a good thing. As the law is now interpreted, the children of Montville, Jewett City and surrounding towns are the favor- cd ones, as their towns can, and do, vay their tuition and transportation, being reimbursed by the state to the extent of two-thirds of the tuition fee and one-half of the transportation ex- pense. On the other hand, the children of our town, a town having no high school, are discriminated against, in that it is maintained that their town cannot legally pay such tuition. And why is this so? Simply and solely is it 5o because they happen to reside in the same town in which is situated an academy. The daw makes it a ques- tion of ‘the locality of the school whether it is local or non-local, and not a question_of justice and right. ote the law, Section 67, Chapter V. in the report of the state board of ed- ucation for 1904. It reads: “Any town in which @ high school is not main- tained shall pay the whols or any part of the tuition fee of any child who resides with his parents or guardian in said town, &nd who, with the writ- ten consent of the school visitors, or town school eommittee, attends u high school in anoher town, provided that the high school shall be approved Dby the state board of education. Such toition fees shall be paid annually by the town treasurer upon the order of the chairman oflithe school visitors or town school eommittee” Under Sec- Principals’ Club Adopts_ Resolution Submitted by Com- mittee Looking Up Matter which will Come Eefore Town Meeting—Eelieve Tc;\vn Should Bear the Ex- provision—every | regarded as having completed his edu- | tion 67, and Section 71, the latter be- ing an act relative to the payment of transportation, the town of Norwich, if it saw fit. could send pupiis to the ‘Windham high school at Willimantic, paying their tuition fee for forty-five dollars and their transportation, which would probably cost an addi- tional forty-five dollars, a total yearly cost of approximately ninety dollars. More than fifty per cent. of this ex- pense would be borne by the state. Still, it is regarded as being illegal for her to send her children to the local institution, at a cost of fifteen dollars per year, merely because the institu- tion is within her borders. Is it not time that such a law be iended ? Resolutions Suggested. In view of these conditions in our own city and the conditions that exist in other cities, and in view of the evi- dent intent of the law, the commitiee begs to submit the following resolu- tions: Resolved, That justice to the boys and girls of our ‘town demands the payment by the town of the tuition fee charged at the Norwich Free Academy for all pupils of the town. Resolved, That, if this payment can not be made legally under the provis- ions of the present law relating to the payment of tuition at high schools, steps should be taken at once to se- cure such amendments as will make such payment legal. % Resolved, That we give our unani- mous support to these resolutions and pledge our every effort to secure said payment by the town of Norwich. Resolved, That we respectfully so- liclt. the assistance and the hearty support of the local press, the Nor- wich Morning Bulletin and the Nor- ch Evening Record, in giving this matter its strongest advocacy and the widest possible publicity, both in the news and editorial columns. Resolved, That we earaceess 3 tion the co-operation and helpful in- fluence of the Norwich board of trade. Resolved, That we ask the moral support and active public advocacy of this by all organizations—civic, busi- nes religious, education, or literary— which have the best interests of the city at heart. Resolved, That we take the neces- sary steps to bring this matter be- fore the next town meeting. SUDDEN DEATH OF MICHAEL ISLAND. Occurred at His Home in Hanover Tuesday Noon from Heart Disease.

KATHERINE QUINN ON v TRIAL FOR BLACKMAIL Claimed She Attempted to Get Money from Jacob Stein by Letter Written Last January—Pleas of Guilty and Sentences. A number of matters were disposed of before the criminal session of the superior court here on Tuesda: cluding the several persons charged with theft from the steamer Kenne- beck. ~ John A. _ Murphy, Morgan Smith, John W.

It was claimed that the men considered the boat abandoned and that the com- pany did not care for It. The state attorney thought It a pecul- far affair. where the men had trans- gressed the law for the first time and they are seemingly reputable men. But for the circumstances they ought to g0 to prison. Judge Wheeler spoke of tha seriousniess of the case and thought prison was what the crime called for, but owing to the circum- stances scnt them to Jail for one year cach. John Shea, who had been drawn in- to the case, but made a clean breast Of the affait when arrested, was given two months in jail.
