In effect, what Charles F. Smith, a member of the board, said to the hundreds of teach- ers before him was a disavowal of the code as a measure to be accepted as the right way to reform the town school system. The hall of the house of representa- tives was filled to capacity, the great majority being educators of the state, and all assembled for discussion be- fore the education committee of what is termed the Morrison code hill. The Ibill under discussion was submitted by Senator Heald of Staflord and is 1in some degrec a modification of the | Morrison code, but the essential points {are retained.fl Senator Hazen presid- ed and said the large attendancte at- tested the interest of the people in the educational matters of the state.

This bill tis to provide a citizenship of the fu- |ture and not the particular way the teachers of the state are to be repu- lated. The whole question has taken an unfortunate turn and should have i been discussed a higher plane and differences adjusted on a mutuai plan, { Unless that articulate to there is danger of shock to the so- cial system. He said he was a friend | of the teachers, that they were under- paid, and that he h: endeavored to improve their condition. Robert P. Butler of Hartford stated {that Mr. Smith had furnished the highway to get at progress in educa- tion. If the bill was framed in the dark, and kept in the dark, there should be 2 new bill made in the light and submitted in the light. He sug- gested that the héliring 50 no farther a.nd tha ta mutual bill that would be JOYFUL EATING Unless your food is digested with. onl.i.;‘a aftermath of painful acidity, the joy is taken out of both eating and living.

He would suggest that the board of edueation co-opérate to that end, as it was shown Mr. Smith that the bill as presented was only a basis for & new law. Mr. Butler in this respect represented the official repre- sentatives of New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford. He asked for oppor- tunity to confer with the board with a view to withdrawal of the present bill. Senator Hazen said the bill was with the legislative committee and all inter- ested would have opportunity to be heard. The &enate commitise chair- man sald the committee wanted light and more of it befors recommending passage of this bill, or any other, for that matter. Mr. Jennings of Meriden said Mr. Smith stated this discussion ought to be en a higher plane, but gave no specified plan. He asked a series of questions regarding the board of edu- cation and method of appointment. Miss Marchant of New Haven was opposed to the bill and as leader of the confederation of teachers she would raise the question to the higher plane. Nothing has been done under misap- prehension but were based on the bill itself. The teachers have dealt with facts. School teachers are more inter- ested in education than are many others. We have been referred to as {scared rabbits or afraid of losing their obs, but as 2 maiter of fact that is not true. Teachers consider something imore than salary in their werk and aré 1i ed in every pupil. The | school teachers would | mprovement, but the ;‘!Esent biil de tracts from educational efficlency and s a shield to the dark method reierred |to by Mr. Smith. This bill is an edu- cational autocracy R and would have th it an educatlonal dictator. This 1 is self aggrandizement on the part of individuals and at the expense of ucation, as teachers could not do b under its restrictions. Superintendent Tinker of Water- bury stated that the teachers of the state agreed with the aims of ths bill, but objected to the method i0 attain the end. The only e that resembled the one outlined in bill was located in Germary. Uader the bill all school money would go! to Hartford and bursed by some cfficial here, was opposed {o all | school supplies i#.ng purchased from | the state board at Hartford, would tend to inconvenience, I ecohomy, and perhaps invite graft.

He wap against the removal of local government of schools. The lawful town meeting cannot be de- prived of the feature of the education of the children. F. E, Duffy of West Hartford, speaking for the legislative grange, said that the farmer, if he wanted anythinz done, would £o to those who specialize in the work desired. But in this instance the framers of the Morrisow code did not go to the edu- cators of the state. He was opposed to the super-man idea in connection with education. He believed in a uni- form system in the state, but not ac- cording io the Morrison idea. If there is to be classification of teachers, there ought to be classification of school comrission and members of hoard of education. George E. Bearn, of Greenwich, u member of the school comdiitiee whish wae opposed to th¢ Morrison bill, aa i was also the comniumty, opposed ceri- tralization of autherity.
