NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1915 Standard Remedy For Many Homes Indigestion and constipation are two conditions closely re- lated and the cause of much phy- sical suffering. The tendency to indulge one’s appetite is general, so that most people suffer at some time or another from rebellion of the overtaxed organs of digestion and elimination. A simple, pleas- antiy effective remedy that will quickly relieve the congestion of poisonous waste and restore regularity, is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pep- sin, sold in_drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a mild, pleasant laxative-tonic and digestant, ab- solutely free from opiates or nar- cotic drugs and has been the standard household remedy in countless homes for many years. A free trial bottle can be ob- tained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell 452 Washington St, Monticello, Ills. STATE’S ATTORNEY FOR BAR LIBRARY APPROPRIATIONS. Asked New London County Represent- atives to Reconsider Adverse Action. Unheralded, Hadlai A. Hull, state's attorney, appeared Wednesday at Hartford at an adjourned meeting of the senators and representatives from New London county and strongly urged special appropriation for the mainte- nance of the bar libraries at the court- houses in Norwich and New London. Ho asked the New London county dele- sation to recommend a special appro- riation of $500 for the library at New ndon and $2,000 for the library in Nawich. Mr. Hull stated there ,was actual need of additional books to make the libraries of value and that they were actuaily required by the judges of the courts. At a previous county meeting the resolution to appropriate annually $1,- 000 to each of the libraries, instead of $300 as at present, and a special ap- piopriation of $3,000 was turned down iu county meeting, unfavorably report- ed by the judiciary committee and re- jected by the house. Mr. Hull wanted this action reconsidered and his prop- osition substituted. The project was favored by Senator Barnes, who of- fered a motion covering the proposi- tion. A debate followed, led by Rep- resentative Crandall of Groton in op- position. The matter was at last tem- porarily disposed of when the meeting was adjourned for one week on motion ?epxesentat.\ve Henderson of Nor- ich. FINE FOR RHEUMATISM!

In this summary, the committes takes up three lines of work which have claimed their particular atten- tion, viz: the equalizing and advancing of teachers’ salaries, permanent and extensive repairs to school buildings, and educational accomplishments, On the financial side their statement shows that last year there was a de- crease of $5,257.88 in the total ex- penses of the schools over the ex- pense of the year before, and the state- ment is made that in another year all will have been completed, so that, un- less new departments work are added the large items of repairs to buildings to the system, the total cost of the school system will be back again on practically the same basis as before consolidation. Two Years Under Consolidation. The following is_their summary of the work accomplished during the first two years under consolidation: The first two years under consolida- tion were necessarily a perlod of trans- sition and organization. The first task of the school committee was the welding together of several distinct independent districts, each one under its own management. The two im- portant problems for immediate con- sideration were teachers’ salaries and repairs to school buildings. Teachers' salaries in most of the districts were very low. Fifty-three out of the one hundred and twenty teachers were re- celving salaries ranging from $350 to $450. In comparison with other citles and towns of the state an increase in salary was justifiable. Below is a comparative table of salaries pald In other cities and towns in Connecti- cut: £ g § sgwatouy Alamax New London . Ansonia Meriden Middletown Greenwich Stamford ~es $400 450 Norwich . . 40 All but three of the towns have high- er maximums than Norwich. At the end of the first two years the following things had been accom- plished: - g First. Teachers’ salaries equalized and advanced; second, extensive per- manent repairs had been made to many of the school buildings, es- pecially at West Town street, and East Main street schools. In nine of the buildings new toilets had been in- stalled: several buildings had been painted; interior walls refinished; metal ceilings put i desks redress- ed; new floors laid; four hundred feet of slate blackboards put inffi school yards graded; cement walks laid; fences repaired; several bulldings re- roofed; eity- water put into three of the buildings; and fire escapes placed on nine of the buildings- Over $20,000 has been spent upon permanent re- pairs. Educational Accomplishments. 1 Uniform testbooks adopted. Each of the fifteen school districts had -its own list of testbooks. Many _times when families moved from one district to another a complete new list of books had to be pur ed. 2. A nuiform course of study adopt- ed for use in all the schools. 3. Two new kindergartens establish- ed in sections of the town where the population is mostly of a foreign ele- ment. 4. A uniform course in music taught and supervised in all the schools. 6. A umniform course in drawi taught and supervised in all schools. 6- The Palmer Penmanship System of Writing has been introduced and used in all the schools. - All the teach- ers of the town were réquired to take the course, ari 108 out of 120 are considered by The Palmer company as expert teachers in' penmanship. 7. Domestic Science and Manual Training is offered to all girls and boys of the seventh and eighth grades in the town. 8. The elimination of the ninth grade completed. placing the schools on an eigth grade basis, 9. A card record system established. This asystem gives a complets record of the progress of every pupil in the public schools. 10. A selected list of pictures for the study and appreciation of art for each grade introduced. 1l. All teachers and schools placed under the same_supervision. 12- Telephones, which grealy facili- tate the achool work, have been placed in the buildings except at East Great Plain, Yantic and’ Scotland Road. 13. The Aldine System of Reading adopted for use in all primary grades. A line of supplementary reading se- lected for the grades and the books furnished to the schools. 14. A line of supplementary reading| selected for the grades and the books furnished to the schools, All of the pupils of the town are now working under the same supervi- sion, the same course of study, the same kind of textbooks, and all enjoy the same privileges and advantages as conditions allow: A Brief Financlal Statement. Because of the increase of the teach- ers’ salaries and the extensive repairs made to school buildings the schools have cost the town a little more under consolidation. The teachers are now paid $18,160 more than they were be- FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS “WOULDN'T PAY ME FOR THE RE- !

This increased amount is the result of the equaliza- tion of teachers’ salaries throughout the system, said equalization being au- thorized and ordered by the citizens of the town at the first town meeting aft- er consolidation. If this amount alone were added to the total expenses of the different districts before consoli- dation it would have cost the town more than it is costing now. The fol- lowing table shows what the cost to the town was for the last three years preceding consolidation and also what it would have cost had the teachers been paid the $13,160 which they are now receiving: g % “eeeee s uopRpIOSUOD +osBatOUl Arvres ‘osvaIU] ATerey * sud sosu 01030q osuedxa €10 1910 *$107,154.21 1811 112,771.40 13,160 125,931.40 1912 111,776.96 13,180 124,946.96 Compare the expense of the above years with the total expenses of 1914, the second year after consolidation: (*$14,000 expense for new bullding at Ocoum not included in the above total of expenses for 1910.) For the year 1914 the schools cost the town approximately $5,000 more than before consolidation, Granting that the salary increase to the teachers was justifiiable, the ex- pense of the school system under con- solidation is much less. It will be seen from the above table that in 1910 there would have been a saving of $3,189.66. In 1911 a saving of $8,806.85. In 1912 a saving of $7,812.41. Taking into consideration the large amount of money that was necessary to be spent upon repairs during the past two years, it is evident that the administrative and operating expenses have been considerable lessened. This has been done through a reorganiza- tion of the school system by combining grades, eliminating teachers, by clos- ing two outlying schools and trans- porting the puplls—the expense of equipping and heating unused school- rooms and buildings has been saved to the town. The cost of transporting the children is not as great as would be the salary of a good teacher, while the pupils enjoy much better educa- tional advantages. The total expenses of the school system for 1913 were $122,382.41. The total expenses for 1914 were $117,124.55, a decrease of $5,257.86 over. the preceding year. In one more year all of the large items of repairs to buildings will have been completed. It is reasonable to presume that the repairs to the prop- erty will not be as great for the pgst two years. Unless new departme: of work are added to the system our expense will further decrease, plac- ing the total cost of the school system on practically the same basis as be- fore consolidation.

MAY BE SUICIDE. Rabert McAuley Missing Since Monday from His Home in Waterford. Waterford, Conn, April 7—Robert NicAuley, an aged and respected citi- zen, has mysteriously disappeared from the home, of a cousin, Mrs. Wilson M. Curoll, of the Niantic road, with whom lio resided. He has been missing since ear.y Monday morning, when he left to 8¢ to a house he occupled until re- rently, and nothing has been heard or nen of him since.
