As representing the product of stu- dents of English in the local ‘high school the following, announcing a coming basketball game, may charita- Dbly be accepted as not being indicative of the best the students are capable of in use of the language: “The salt air lads (a New London team) claim the distinction of being unbeaten this season and are coming here to show the up-country ginks how to do it. The local guintet is determined to send the visitors home with grit in their teeth. It will be some game—believe me!” The town of Killingly has provided efficient teachers and other means for students in its high school to acquire a more complete knowledge of the English language than is afforded in the graded schools in the town, which which will rank with the best in the state. The taxpayers give liberally of their money to meet the heavy costs of the schools. Yet notwithstanding the best efforts of a superior teaching corps, a generous and free supply of all essential and necessary text books, and in spite of admonitions to avold the use of slang phrases and expres- sions that have no honorable standing in English literature, or _elsewhere, “ginks,” “believe me and like vul- garisms are constantly manifest in the athletic announcements and in the pri- vate correspondence of the students. The responsibility rests wholly and absolutely on the students, but not upon all of them, for there 1s a large percentage making the most of the op- portunities offered to acquire other than a poverty-stricken vocabulary from the wealth of English words and their possible combinations and leg- itimate uses. “Gink” and “helieve me” savor of the slums and. their get, not of what should be the style in writing or speech of a modern high school student. The fault is superficial rath- er than basic, however, though none the more excusable on’ that account, for all of the students are capable of avoiding the casting.of such a reflec- tion upon the school of which they all feel 50 proud as is done by the use of cheap expressions and gutter Eng- lish. Undoubtedly the prize . essay students will show the reverse of this picture, for the satisfaction and edi- fication of those who pay the. school bills. Methodist Church Officials.

Members of the board of directors of the Danielson Business Men's as- sociation expressed opposition Wed- nesday to any plan by which the new- ly organized association, now on a strong footing, would be absorbed by the rejuvenated board of trade. As individuals, the members of the Bus- iness Men's association are apparently all favorable to becoming members of the board of trade, but there is a pronounced expression of opinion that the Business Men’s association should exist as a separate organization, de- voted especially to the purposes for which it was created.

Rockville—The Rockville Boys’ cluk has made an appeal for funds, aboul $100 is needed to carry it through th( season. pect of Establishment of Reforma- tory. Judge E. M. Warner of this city, who has been an able, earnest and enthusiastic worker for the establish- ment of a state farm for drunkards, wag delighted Wednesday over the fine hearing held at Hartford Tues- day in relation to the establishment of 'such an institution. There was no opposition before the committee of the legislature that has the various bills on the subject under considera- tlen, but there was as strongly a rep- resentative gathering present in fa- vor of one or more of the bills as is ever seen at the state capitol to lend ald in furthering the passage of pend- ing legislation.

Judge Warner appeared as the rep- resentative of the state Christian En- deavor association and of the Prison association. He is in favor of the bill that has the backing of the pro- ‘bate judges, police, city court and town court judges in Connecticut and many of the lawyers of the state. Indications seem to be that some one of the bills introduced will be passed by the present legislature and that the state farm so long, so_ably and earnestly advocated by Judge Warner will become a reality. Judge Warner points out that no attempt at the reform of drunkardsis now made in the jails of Connecticut, where the drunkards are almost in- variably sent after an appedrance in court. He believes that they should be segregated, and allowed the fullest op- portunity of environment and occupa- tion as aids to becoming valuabie cit- izens through the permanent shaking Off of the drink habit. He is confi- dent that a state farm such as is ad- Vocated would be a certain source for such a reformation. Committed to such a farm for terms that might be as lengthy as five years, given an op- portunity to do healthful work in the open air. given comfortable clothing and_sheiter and body-building food, he feels confident that the majority of the 1,000 (estimated) habitual drunkards now in Connecticut could ‘be made into good eltiz: ns, as most f them would be if they stopped rinking liquer permanentl Under oarole those com ted to the State farm talked of would have an opportunity to make geod outside of the Institution as soon as their recora of good behavior warranted, but if the” R A SR T GASTORIA For Infants and Children.
