TEACHERS’ Throughout the state there is a re- newed effort in behalf of the secur- ing from the state of & pension for school teachers, a movement which is in keeping with the action taken by % large corporations for the retention of 4 ‘their emploves and thereby increasing their interest in the business ard mak. ing them more valuable in their par- ticular line of work. This same argument applies to school teachers of which the state has 5277 but it ranks twelfth In the states of the union PENSIONS. are paid. It is recognized by larg 'manufacturing concerns that the e: tablishment of the pension system op- erates to increase the efficiency of the which it would be of acknowledged advantage when applied to school teachers. At the present time there are states on all sides which have the system in operation and they serve as an attrac- tion to teachers of Connecticut which makes of this state a training school for our neighbors eimply because there Is the added as: ance of a pension. This continual drain upon thé teaching force of the state retards rather than helps for it is the ambitious and invar- tably the best teachers who are thus drawn to other statets. The average salary of the school! teacher of Con- mectieut is 3561, while Rhode Island average is $607, Massachusett: s and New York's $813 and in addition thereto is the assurance of the pen- sion. In regard to schools Connecticut wants to contribute everything possible to make them better and it can be done in no better way than by increasing the efficlency of its teaching force. BIGGER SHIPS. New York finds itself confronted with a difficult problem in providing | for the accommodation of the steadily increasing size of the steamships which make that clty their terminal on this side of the Atlantic. It is a| problem in which not aione New York, : but the federal government is deeply | concerned inasmuch as the extension | of the piers into the North river as| desired for the long ships is fast eat- ing up the fairway of the stream and | threatens to become a hindrance Lo navigation. The tendency of steamship construc- | tion is for greater tonnage and this is gained in increasing the size of the| vessels in all directions it being the | prediction of experts that where 1000 | feet is now a long vessel it will be| but a comparatively few vears before they will be constructing vessels 1450 | feet long and for which preparations | should be made in the reconstruction of the docking system which is now contemplated. It not alone the transatlantic lines which are con- structing vessels of greater tonnage and Aimensions, as well as more lux- urious accommodations for the pas- senger service, but the coasting lines and those on the iniand waters are looking to this as the best method of rellef in handling the business. The coasting lines have not reached the lmit attained by the liners, but the tendency is in the same direction and pler facilities becomes a problem wher- ever there is the least tendency to small quarters. STOPPING THE PANIC. Little new was gleaned from the sec- ong submission to examination by Col- onel Roosevelt concerning the Terines- ses Coal and Iron company affalr. He admits his ignorance of many of the facts and conditions concerning the merger which he authorized with the teel trust and declares with startling self judgment that “I had a panic to stop and even if T had known all these auspicious things which You now bring to my knowledge it would not have made a particle of difference in my action.” This confession of ignorance causes the New York Post to inquire, “Sup- pose the colonel was as ignorant about the panic as he confesses that he was s to the average of salaries which | workmen and this is ome direction in| ¥ RFECTING THE SEI ‘When ‘the pareel post was put into effect the first of this year it was real- laed that as the shortcomings devel- oped there should be provision for their Detterment and congress gave au- thority to the postmaster gemeral to make what changes were consis with the proper operation of the mew department. Parcel post has been an instant success, making even & more popular ‘hit than the postal savings system. It has demonstrated that the service given i what the people have long been clamoring for and that the post office department is looking well after its requirements. Lack of facli~ ities has been the- greatest hindzmnce to the seryice encountered thus far, the of business having far ex ceeded expectations. In meeting the demands of the patrons of the depart. ment the service has proved adequate and a most important future is indi- i ‘THE MAN WHO TALKS | The real duty which needs attention is the one right at hand. The habit of selecting duties spells neglecting du- ties, and nothing else. If we must form 2 habit about performing duties it will be most profitable ‘to engage In the most distasteful task first. 1f we donot do that we become a dodger, and it does not take adodger long to become & guitter.

It doesn't Took backward or forward, but has a way of always looking up. The duty that hos now If front of it is soon done. Now has struck blows that freed cated. The fallure to include books in the parcel post class has called forth not a little criticism, but this unpop- ular feature of the service has beem recognized by the postmaster general and acting upon the authority given him it can be expected that this will soon be overcome. Why books should not be carried by that service as well as farm produce and other articles of bulk is not un- derstandable. It required only the demonstration of the ridiculous exclu- slon to the department to make it manifest that a change iS necessary. It wiil come and it will be In this man- ner that the service will gradually come to perfectiom. THE STATE’S INTERESTS. Deadiocks are characterizing the ac- tion taken In a number of states over | the choice of United States senators. It is also a noticeable fact that tha very same kind of & situation is being caused by the progressives in such contests as was caused in the recent national election. There is not the least chance for their candidate winning. but | they are using their votes against the interests of their state, and against their own belfefs. In the state of New Hampshire, which is a large manufacturing | state, the issue which centers around the selection of the senator is that of protection. The republicans and the progressives are advocates of pro- crats lack but little of the combined strength of the other two parties but the choice of their candidate means an opponent of protettion. The progres- sives in refusing ‘to support any re- publican nominee are standing out against their own interests and work- | ing against the continued prosperity of their state. New Hampshire shows a decrease in population in all the small towns, | but a gain in the large towns where the manufacturing is done. It is ob- | vious that it is the industries of the | state to which they should look for the bDenefit to the state and the people. { In such an important matter it would | seem not only possible but the best | policy for the factions of the party | to met togcther, and prevent any step | backward.

Col. Roosevelt declares he knew lit- tle about the Tennessee Coal and Iron deal but the harmful fact is that he cared less. The suffrage discussion in the Eng- lish house of commone promises as much excitement as the heme rule bill provoked. Tt is a significant fact that Nor- wich failed to set a place on the five most fmportant committees of the 1913 legisiature. Publicity has its students. = Now that Jack Johnson canmot get it through the prize ring, he Is work- ng the police courts. Governor Wilson ousht to be a good piayer. He certainly and a good eve when he caged the inaugural ball. The Haverhill school board declares for the turkev trot and other such dances. Are they willing to be held responsible for the results. After enty-e! ht yvears it has been decided to abandon the powder mills at Hazardville. It took a good many explosions to accomplish it. Perhaps what the Norwich repre- sentatives fail to do for lack of place on the committees will be made up by their work on the floor of the house. The printing of parcel post stamps is going on at the rate of twelye mil- lion a day. That ought to mean an appreciable curtailment in the new express labels. Burglars have returned valuable pa- pers to a Massachusetts man, which were worthiess to them, but kept §1,500. There is honor among thieves when they are well paid. The Bangor and Aroostook rallroad in Maine should take the sdvice of the legislature and arbitrate its trou- bles. If it cannot afford to grant in- creased wages it can be so proved. Senator Beveridge says the pregres. sives will never amalgamate and thers are others, including Munsey, just as confident that they will never amount to anything unless they de amalgam- ate.

The demo- or fettered a nation. Now is a slogan which bodes no person ill in the line of duty. There is an old saying, that “when poverty knoeks at the door, love goes out of the window,” but while this is gemerally true, there are many ex- ceptions to it. When poverty is at the door the word welcome upon the doormat is a joke to everyone. It is thus that adverse conditions can make a word of greeting a thing to be mocked at. Where poverty is prom- inent, the neighbors have to conde- scend to take notice, and render relief. When poverty begins to knock hard the sheriff is not far off. How one dis- tressing condition in life invites an- other! ~This is the straight way to a disrupted family and distress, and still true love abides it—many a living mother bas faced it and heroically died in her tracks, while trying to keep her family together and prop- erly nourished. The exception here is Where we find true love and true hero- ism, neither of which elicit much praise. How do you tackle trouble? It is strange so many people sit down and repine when trouble turns up, espe- cially when you consider that of nine cases in ten they are the creators of thelr own disturbances. A large part of the trouble in the world can be laughed out of sight; more can be frowned down: and still more thrown down. If you tackle trouble right you will keep it at the minimum. This is the point at which we must ail show We have gimp and gumption, and prove our mastery of self and of affairs. Trouble is one of the tests of life, and no one escapes it. Those who have the most trouble in life distinguish themselves by saying least about it and doing most to overcome it. If You have never valued the science of tackling things right, wake up and begin now. How vou tackle things tells for weal or woe in this life. The question is asked once in a while, why the young men are evad- ing the ministry? It is a fact that the supply of pastors in the Protest- ant world is not equal to the demand, and is_getting shorter all the while. The ministry is not attractive to live young men, ang the reaeon is appar- ent _enough, for everything else but serving God holds out a lure, a chance for making a competence by strict at- tention to tbusiness. Low salaries, under-valuation of services and de- pendence in old age are so chilling that a promise of a reward in Heaven is no baim. Denominations who spend a million or more a vear to save the heathen have no fund today to amply provide for thelr superannuated min- isters. Corporations are pensioning their old emploves and churches are letting the ol servants of God go to turn ang twist and struggle to keep from absolute want. This is scandal- ous—nothing religious about it—and the day is not distant when the church will see its duty and do it. There is a great hue and cry made over the appefite for strong drink just as if it was the only pernicious appe- tite known to man, when it is only one of several which teil against man’ physical comfort and business succes: Hunger is natural—appetite to a d gree artificial. Civilized people every- wWhere have the habit of eating by the clock instead of in accord with their needs—mixing in_proportion to their financial ability instead of in keeping with the laws of health. It is not the appetites so_much as our excesses that are at the bottom of our ills. In his hase man is about the only creature Who eats senselessiy and suffers sense- icasly in consequence. Abuse of the stomach is a leading cause of physical disorder, and early paralysis and death. Man should be taught temper- ance in all things. Many temperance advocates today dfe of their own in- temperance before their time. Strong drink kills too many—excessive eating kills more. To be well balanced a man should strive to be In all things tem- perate. \ When a man reaches a point of de- velopment where he can forgive others for their mistakes and cannot excuse his own, he is on pretiy good footing. This is the point of attainment it would be well for every man to etrive for. Here he has a chance to see the firm- ament of manhood in all its glory and feel that he is a true helr of the Promised Land. This requires reso- lution and a breadth of purpose whic tells for redemption. Revenge is dis- grace. Do put forget the prayer of the Saviour in his moment of extreme suffering: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” There is nothing good enough for you or I ex- cept the noblest example. Forgive- ness has been set in piety like a pearl —the pearl of great price—and we seem to be blind to the fact that it is ours as well as His. Man is often nclined to go to the devil by rule. There is nothing to be suld against rules if they are inter- preted with judgment. What vou and I know of books or rules is not the full measure of our ability. The boss who knows his business iz a necessity —a boss who knows his men is a greater success, for he is more tact- ful and patient. It is well enough for a school board to find out what a teacher knows about arithmetic, geog- raphy and things, but what the teacher knows about children and their ec- centricities and the ability to inspire them has a more important bearing upon his or her worth. What a minis- ter knows about theology is impor- tant, but what he knows about men and ‘his ability to command their con- fidence is what is going to tell in his work. We are apt to magnify the least important things and to overlook the aualities which tell for progress in every direction. We preach goed cheer and we advise people to put sunshine in their lives, and our advice seems so much like sunshine that they smile and take no notice of it. What is the use of telling People to do things without handing hem the recipe? You can't get the sunshine we are talking of jnto your life by taking a sunbath. That tends more for health and less for glee. To get sunshine into your life you must put sunshine into the life of someone else. There may be other recipes, but I do not know one better than this. It is done by simple kindness and cour- teous actlon. Tt doesn't cost you a cent, but if you had to pay for it there 18 no doubt it would bs worth all it cost. Do not expect people to thenk vou for it; for that may bring you disappointment—Iit bears good fruit whether the recipients are polite or not. cepl that it might displease the for- mer, 'w that it is determimed that the Balkan wer is not geing te lead to anything mere serious the Gramd Trunk may be able to get meney to finish its Providence line, but it is to be hoped it will devote its altention within ~various : dwellers about came to the Pt Deaay. as ner husband jest of all.

The average boy knows by his ap- petite when it is dinner time. In fact the more I consider such things the less I regard the value of clocks. I suppose the world ran on quite comfortably before they became 80 un- iversally used. But what would our dear old Connecticut do 1if clocks should go out of fashion? T started, however, to tell you of the value of whisties, especially lo- comotive whistles. One ensineer's wife, to my knowledge, won for her- self ‘honor and fortune by her kmow- ledge of whistles and what they meant. Margaret Patterson’s home was near the bank of the cut through which the trains must pass before crossing the bridge over the cove farther on. Her wifely interest made her know when her husband’s train was due and very rare were the times when it passed by and found her sleeping. One cold windy night in March she heard the train as usual, the cheery greeting of the whistle telling her of The safety and well being of her hus- band, but an instant later she realized that something was wrong. Instead of crossing the bridge, as it should have done, there came a crash which to her acute hearing foreboded disaster to all on board. Soon a glare, then a blaze of light added to her fear. Has- tily dressing and seizing a lantern she rushed forth to aid, if possible. A scene of horror greeted her view When she reached the spot of the wreck. The bridge had glven way and piled around were the biazing bag- sage cars. Fortunately the flames had not yet reached the passenger coaches, from which the least injured were at work removing thelr less favored compantons. Her husband had escaped with a Qucking, belng thrown from his en- gine into the water, but regardless of his wet clothes was busily engaged in alding the Dassengers who were in danger. Putting her vigorous strength into service, Mrs. Patterson was able to do much for the comfort of those who were injured. Her own home was soon filled with the sufferers. Here they were furnished with food and warmth and medical attendance which was soon at hand. D ——— SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE RISKY BUSINESS OF LIVING. It is rather risky business to bealive at all. The world is full of pitfalls ana dangers. One nver knows what minute he is to encounter trouble. An suto. mobile may hit him as he crosses the street. He may fall on a slippery side- walk. There are a thousand noxious germs in every breath he draws, count- less bacteria in every mouthful of his food. Popular medical treatises induce in us the conviction that we are likel candidates for most of tHe troubl therein described. The pure food spec- iglists, analyzing our habitual dlet, almost discourage us from eating. From the heights of their success eminent lights of the business or professional world point to the thorny paths they bad io travel and intimate to our aspir- ing spirits, “better not.” One may eas- ily get a case of nerves over the dismal situation. It takes some courage to ble from earthly strife, to exist in some insulat- ed sterilized chamber to which harm could never come. We might thus avoid risk and keep his life safe. But even if one could do that it would give no relief. As a maater of fact we never escape Tisks by refusing to take any. There is a rigk in anything we un- dertake to do in this world, but surely equal risk in doing nothing. Abraham took a big risk when he left his ancestral home to go out into & land of which he knew nothing. But by €0 doing he became the founder of a Ereat nation. Washington took a risk in crossing the Delawarg on a wintry night But it meant the gaining of a notable victory. . If I go ahead I run the risk of collid- ing with someone or something before me. But a rearend collision is as dis- asirous as one head on. T am at least equally liable to be hit if I stand still— and am getting nowhere meanwhile in- to the bargain. On the sea it has been proven that the faster ships are, in the lo% run safer than the slower ones. hile pushing ahead with soul intent on some good enterprise one is scarce. ly consclous of the incidental hardehips of the way. You do not need to pity the man immerséd in some useful accupa- tion, because of the knocks he encount. ers. He is not conscious of any knocks. He is like a ship under way, cutting the billows and leaving them behind. It is only when the ghip stops that the pas. sengers hesin to get seasick. Life even in its happiest and best es. tate involves risk. e cannot change the universe that God has made., We cannot perfectly understand its laws or control its forces. We must go out each day as the patriarsh did, “not knowing whithere he went.” But that God's world is essentially friendly to the mar of courage,we may heartily belleve. We are not to cringe like sloves in the power of a capricious tyrant. God would have us march through life as soldiers, “breast and back as either should be’” To find and to do one's duty regardless of seeming risk In the way to avold the biggest risk of all, the rigk of belng useless in the Kingdom.

Many & bank note was pressed into her hand as goodbye was said and her protests were unheeded, when she claimed she had done only what anyone else would have done in her place. Later came an acknowledgment from the railroad to her husband, Wwhose devotion to the company's in- terests had been so actively shown, and the rest of their life was rendered more eomfortable by the return thus made for the heroism dbfiwed by the devoted prir. But their greafest surprise came a few years later on, when the incident ‘was recalled to their minds by a mes- sage from far away. There came to them from the extreme west, a state- ment that one old gentleman cared for by them on that wild night had bequeathed them a generous sum in token of his grateful remembrance. To Willlam Patterson and wife it seemed great wealth, and they thank- fully felt that their last days were amply provided for. 3 “No more_ rallroading for you, Wil- 1 said Peggy, “and no more anx- iety for me.

Mr. Editor: T am glad to see that the suggestion made by Mr. W. R. Burnbam of the need of an auto am- bulance meets with approval by others of our citizens, and T hope the mat- ter will be taken up In earnest and will result In its purchase. The arguments advanced in its favor by Dr. Kimball in vour issue of this morning should be sufficient to Interest the large num- ‘er of our people who sympathize with suffering and are willing to help alle- viate it; and I have no doubt the matter could be successfully accom- plished, The Backus hospital is doinz e splendid work and should have every needed assistance. The cost Is not prohibitive, ang I belleve the money could be easily raised. COSTELLO LIPPITT. Norwlch, Jan. 4, 1913. Dr. Tingley Starts Contributions With Mr. Editor: Having read in paper the remarks of Mr. Waterman R. Burnham and Mr. James C. Mac. pherson regarding the auto_ambulance for the Backus hospital, and today the letter of Dr. Rush W. Kimball, em- phasizing the importance of the auto ambulange for the hospital, I would state thdt I am very much in favor of the said ambulance. However, we can hardly expect the corporation of the W. 'W. Backus hospital to go down in their pockets to buy such an ambulance, be- cause, we, the people of Norwich, and we, the physicians of Norwich desire such an improvement in the the pres- nt ambulance service. 1 agree with Dr. Kimball on the necessity of such an tmprovement but I feel that we people of Norwich, and we, the physi- clans of Norwich, who will be benefited by the improvement should do_ sdme- thing more than write letters. I think we, the people of Norwich, and we, the physicians of Norwich, should buy this ambulance for the W. W. Backus hos- pital, and with that feeling uppermost in_my mind, I will’ pledge myself for $25 ,if twelve physicians in the city will pledge themselves for equal amounts. This will start the ball roll- ing. W. K. TINGLEY, M. D. Norwich, Jan. 12, 1913. IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN I The Kings. Nothing makes one much tireder than the idea, constantly harped on by ignorant and timid minds, that uni- versal democracy necessarily means the wiping out of all grades among men, bringing every person down to an_ equality of commonplaceness. But the motive force of democracy is not en Democr glowers at present-day great folk not because it does not be- ileve in aristocracy, but because it does belleve in real aristocracy, and is out of patience with humbug superiority. The plutocrat of New York, the he editary noble of London and the of Europe, we do not feel pleasant toward them simply because they have no rational right to their glory. There always have been and will be genuine kings of men, leaders, rulers, all the more powerful the less power they have. To them¥he common man is proud to look up, and to say “mas- ter” But these are the very kind which would have more opportunity under democracy than under privilege. Such are Dante, Shakespeare, Bacon, Lincoln, Gladstone, Mazzini, Wagner, Beethoven, Bach, Francis of Assisi, Luther, Wesley, Socrates, Plato, Kant, Pastecr, Metchnikoff, Koch, and the like, and, over all. the “king of kings" Want To Feel Young? y.

What Convicts Read. “Tommy Try” and “What He Did " and “The School Girl's Garland"—to cite actual titles— are poor prison diet for men who ask for books on trades and English grammar. Florence Rising Curtls, of the University of llinois Li- brary School, in The Survey makes an interesting plea for the Intelligent use of libraries as instruments of reforma- tion for the 50,000 men and women in the state and national prisons, of whom three-fourths are confined for from one to ten years. “A study of the catalogues of twenty- three prison libraries shows that, with few exceptions, they are far below thé grade of the average publit library of the same size; the classes of history biography and travel, which should be | especially strong, are often filled with |} out-of-date and unreadable books. is suprising that detective stories figu largely in the fiction lists, for it wo seem dubious policy to furnis and_point out the we: method of their execution. “These libraries have received in bulk | a large number of the old Sunday School collections of out-of-date religious and temperance books; they are decided lacking in readable informational liter- ature—blography, travel science and books on _present-day invention and progress.
