S e —_— The Central school district of Nor- wich, organized under a speclal legis- lative act, was apolished by the vote of the town in favor of consoliuation, according to the following opinion by Attorney General John H. Light, which has its bearing upon the situation else- where in the state: Hartford, June 7, 191 Charles D. Hine, Esq., Secretary S Board of Bducation: Dear Sir: You requestion my opinion as to the effect upon the Central school district of the town of Norwich of the vote taken by the town on the first Monday of October, 1911, to abolish all school districts and parts of school dis- tricts within the limits of the town. It may be helpful to consider briefly the growth of the district school sys- tem in this state. Prior to 1714 the schools were independent corporate bodies. During that year a law was passed giving the ‘teWns and societies supervision over them. The code of 1750 provided that every town or parish should maintain one school. In 1724 certain schools were divided inio two e ‘school districts, and in 1776 these dis- tricts were recognized as. subdivisions of towns-and parishes. During the vear 1794 a statute was passed making the districts quasi corporations, with power to repair their own buildings, and to elect officers and levy aad col- lect taxes. School societies grew out of parisnes, and in 1798 a statute was passed trans- ferring -the schools from the towns to such societies, and this condition re- mained until 1856, when they were transferred back to the towns. In 1839 they were given practically the same powers which they enjoy today. Dis- tricts are component parts of towns, and are not, for all purpoges connected with common school edweskiom, inde- pendent corporations. Bartlett vs. Kinsley, 15 Conn., 335. Primarily the power to organize and establish_school districts, or to alter or abolish existing districts, is vested in the legislature, but this power may be_delegated to the towns. Young_vs. Bethany, 73 Conn., 166. First School Dist. vs, Eighth School Dist, 78 Conn., 73, Stch power was first delegated to the towns in this state in 1%60. The law may now be found in Sec- tion 2175 of the General Statutes, as follows: “Each town shall have power to form, unite, alter, and dissolve school districts and parts of school districts within its limits; and two or more towns may form school districts of ad- joining portions of their respective towns.” Many sencor districts, like the one in question, were organized under the “Act of 1855” (Section 2154 of General Statutes), and others were specially organized by legislative acts, but all districts, however organized, are sub- ject to the towns under the authority given in Chapter 136 of the General Statutes. The legislature has pro- vided in Section 2212 of said chapter that “any town may abolish all of the school districts, and parts of school districts, within its limits . . and for this purpose every such town shall constitute one school districts,” etc. The intention of the legislators to give the towns the power to abolish all school districts is manifest. It would be unreasonable to impute to the legislature the intent to give to the towns the right to abolish districts formed by them, and to withhold the power to abolish’ those which had been formed by special acts, unless such intention was very clearly expressed. “Where an earller statute is special, only in the sense that it applies to & single case of which there may be many in the state, and a later one is general 1n its operation and applies to all such cases, then the earlier one is repealed by the later, because the whole_includes the several parts.” N. Y, N. H. & H. R R Co. v Bridgeport Traction Co., 85 Conn.: 429; City of Hartford vs. Hartford Theolog- ical Seminary, 68 Conn., 485; Matter of Dobson, 146 N. Y., 357. Chapter 146 of the public acts of 1009 provides that “every town in this state shall, from and after July 15, 1909, assume and maintain the control of all the public schools within its limits, and for this purpose every town shall be a school district, ‘etc. And Section 11 of the act contains this pro- viso: “This act shall not apply to any town which has a city or borough, or district organized under special acts of the legislature within its limits, un- less such town shall vote to abolish school districts and assume control of the public s¢hools therein.” It is clearly manifest from the lan- gliage of this statute that the legis ture considered that, it had already given towns the power to abolish dis- tricts organized under special acts. The town of Norwich has & city and one or more districts organized under spe- cial acts of the legislature within its limits, 8o said Chapter 146 of the pub- lic acts of 1909 did not apply till the town voted at its last annual meeting to abolish school districts, and to as- sume control of the public _schools therein, and, by virtue of such action on the part of the town, the law was made to apply. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the effect of the vote in question was to abolish the Central school district and all other districts within the lim- its of the town, and to require the town to assume and maintain the control of all of the public schools within its limits. Respectfully submitted. JOHN H. LIGHT. Attorney General. President Browning of the Central school district stated Wednesday that the board had not to his knowledge received any statement from C. T. Hine in regard to the decision. Mr. Browning stated that the mat- ter came up at a board meeting, and it was decided it would be a good thing to determine the question by ap- plving to the attorney generai through State Secertary Hine of the state board of education, CRIMSON CREW BACK IN OLD SHELL. Harvard Varsity Returns to Boat in Which They Have Already Besten Yale Twice. Owing to the high wind and very unfavorable water conditions the work of the Harvard crews was very light Wednesday morning, none of the crews having more than two or three short pulls over sheltered stretches of the river. In the freshman four oar Lo- throp was changed from No. 2 to stroke and Weatherhead, stroke, was put in Lothrop's seat. The varsity eight on Wednesday chdnged back to the boat in which they won the race with Yale last year and the year before. The Harvard varsity and freshmen eights figured in the usual brushes on the river in the afternoon. Both eights weni down to the three and a half mile flag in easy stretches and rowed back in stretches of a quarter of a mile at a time. The stroke never went lower than 30, The varsity four oared crew started to take a time spin for half a mile, but the Yale launch with Bob Cook in it 8oL in the way, so the trial was called off. . P. Storrow, 1889, a former eaptain and crew coach, was a visitor at quar- ters during the day. Harvard’s standpat policy is dis- piayed in every feature of the rowing campaign. Failure to make any changes in either the varsity eight or four, or the freshman eight, lack of frequent time rows and, finally, *a steady elimination of technical faults all indicate confidence of victory in the Crimson camp. Members of the Har- vard rowing cabinet are pretty well atisfied with the mark of 20 minutes seconds made by the Harvard cight in its first time row. PORTRAIT SECURED FOR HISTORICAL SOCIETY Fine Crayon of Hon. David A. Wells— Gift from Daughter-in-Law. In the window of the Boston ‘store was displaved on Wednesday a fine crayon portrait of the late David A. | Wells, which is to be presented to the Conn, ut Historical society as a g from the danghter-in-law of Mr. Weils, | | ™ Aleroft of England.

Fini g Greeneville Road—Footpath Proposed from McKinley Avenue— Beach for Girl Bathers Probable. Following the appropriation of $4,000 for improvements at Mohegan parik, made at Tuesday eveming’s city meet- ing, work will be bezan at once on | the grounds. Work of completing the stretch of about 1,400 feet of road be- tween the Washington street and Greeneville roads is to be commenced today and will be compléted in a short time. It is planned to construct a path from McKinley avenue to the Rockwell street road into the park, thus making a direct entrance into the grounds from the car line. One of the attractions at the park just now is the flock of little duckiings paddiing about the lake. Several dozen pheasant eggs are almost ready to hatch and thus a good sized addition to the aviary is expected. Just now, with' the advent of hot weathar, the park is probably more popular than ever hefore and is dally visited by large numbers. The swim- ming pool at the upper epd of the pond is already well patronized, and it is considered probable that a boach for the girl bathers will be established on the opposite side of the lake. WATER TOO ROUGH FOR MUCH ROWING. Yale Crews Kept to Sheftersd Coves Around Gales Ferry. Rough water, which has handicapped the crews a good part of the time they have been at Gales Ferry this season, Was again responsible for curtallment of the work of the Yale crews Wednes- day. The varsity eight was forced to take short rows in a sheltered cove and the fours also had little practice. ‘he freshman eight ¥as sent down to the navy yard, but going down and coming back they shipped considerable water. By 8 o'clock In the evening the Yaie crews found a chance to practice. The varsity eight then practiced racing starts in the sheltered cove, later row- ing for half a mile under the watch. No_time was given out. The frashman eight rowed down the river for four miles, but the work w not as smooth 2 poor conditions crews were out keeping up a stroj Luse alter Camp, dean of Yale football, was a visitor at quarters Wednesday Affairs in the Yale camp are cer- tainly not indicative of certain vietory, but the varsity eight ha iled to display a gradual Improvement and its new English stroke ‘s relied upon as a speed produc 'The Yale eight. for the first time seagon, maintained a 32 clip for a mile in the four mile time trv, and the boat showed the most satisfactory speed of the season. Cap- tain Romeyn of the varsity eight said in speaking of the try, that he regard- ed it as satiefactory in every respect. The official time was 21 minutes 38 seconds. .

In a serles of notable soclal even- ings, Norwich grange, No, 172, P. of H., enjoved the third on Wednesday night in Pythian hall, when the committee of men of the grange paid up by a strawberry supper for losing in an en- tertainment contest with the grange sisters. The supper came after a brief ‘business meeting, in which the grange still kept up its record of membership gain by having eight applications pre- sented before it. Close to sixty of the members were present when Worthy Master Amos BE. ‘Wheeler announced that supper was ready. As belonging to the victors, the sisters were fisst provided with places at the tables’in the banquet room, where Chairman Herbert R. Branche, with the special assistance of Henry M. Cdit, had the tables spread in read- iness. Bouquets of laurel were the dec- orations. At the head table were the granse officers, while the three sisters of the committee—Hattie L. Jewett, Mary E. Phillips and Nettie B Fanning—were seated_togther with the three judges- H. F. Palmer, M Robinson and Mrs. Suson Howle—across the table from them. Sliced ham, rolis, strawberries, cake and coffee were on the menu, and when this had been disposed of amid the hearty social atmosphere that prevails at grange affairs Worthy Master Wheeler presented Chairman Branche to speak upon the toplc Things Look Different from Different Points of View. Deprived of the presence of his colleagues on the committee. Brothers E. C. Jewett and Frank T. Maples, Chairman Branche valiantly filled the gap unaided and made his remar] spicy but good natured and highly en- tertaining review of the decision of the judges and of the different events on the programme that the women gave. He kept the company in r Sister Fanning made a response in a neat and brief bit of verse. te Phillips was also given opportunity to reply and Judge Paimer put up vigor- ous defense of the decision he had concurred in with the other two mem- bers of the board of judges. Worthy Past Master Jacob Galiup and Charles E. Gager, Jr, aiso spoke and Sister Jewett voiced her belief that the women were still able to g0 the men one better at any further trial of their ability. Worthy Master Wheeler closed the speechmaking and Sister Jewett moved a vote of thanks to the men of the grange for the strawberry supper. I'he enjoyable social evening was over about 10 o'clock.
