Ac- cording to an. English authority, the average vearly output for a Britisn miner is 226 toms, while for an Amer- ican miner it s three times that amount. These - figures raise the question not as to what will become of the miner or the mines, but what will become of England. An American contractor is erecting rolling mills in England. From the same biue prints he has let contacts in. Pittsbugh, Youngstown, O.. and in England. He 15 paying 50 per cent. more -for the same article made in England for use in England than he pays for it in Youngstown. And the workman there is receiving 30 per cent. higner wages than here.

We all believe in Americaniza- tion. _ The junior high school- would make possible this equalization of op- portunities.

These gentlemen recom- mend the junior high school nroject as the best solution of Norwicn's edu- cational problems. Why should they not receive your support even if taxes have to be increased?

And much of tne backwagh from this madness is alien to the best ideals of the En- lish-speaking workingman as it is re- pugnant to his intelligence.

A man who must be protected by law from werking mere than six hours a day is too delicately organized to wear trousers.

A coal miner will risk his life without a mo- ment's hesitution to rescue a drown- ing child from the river: but the same child may die of pneumonia this win- ter because the same miner for some inserutable reason is permitted by his union to work only a few npurs a day. This theory and this practice realiy have nothing to' do with the needs, !rights or wrongs of the worker. They are the expression of a wild revolu- tionary purpgse, which has its source outside Engfand, -to destroy. the so- called capitalistic system b reducing hours and output to a minimum.and increasing wages to a maximum. If the English-speaking peoples, througn cowardice or inertia or ignorance, per- mit this program to develop they will richly degerve the ruin which will overtake them. The supreme need of this hour is for every onme to quit talking and go to work.

Mr. Editor: time approaches for the citizens of Norwich to decide about the jupier high school project. For the benefit of many who may not understand the local situation. the fol- lowing #tatements will - possibly be’| of interest. In several® sections of the town schools are overcrowded. It is necessary to provide space and equip- ment for these children. One mew building ere for instance. on the West Side, would relieve the situation there and ‘do nothing fore the other congested schools, The junior high sehool projeet pro- poses o bring ftogether in one new, adeqiiately equipped building, central- ly located, all the seventh and eighth srade pupils of the town. thus freeing| rooms for the use of the lower grades in_all crowded schools. | The equipment. for -cooking, manual training, gewing, commercial ment, p: millinery, etc,, building would ‘thus serve for the use of all these uppsr grade children. It in impossible. with present quarters, to provide this training a; each schoel. Even were there spacé. the se would be too great to make It practi- cal. By thus housing _all _seventh ‘and eighth grade “pupils under one roof, the same oquipment serves for all, used in rotation by the elasses. Special teachers in-each study—the s0-called departmental work insure far greater advantages than are Dos- sbile when one teacher must handle all_subfects. The junjor_high school has preven its value in many cities. It is mot. a trade school. but, in conmection with the study of the three Rs, sach child has several weeks practice in the va- ried industrial activities. These oc- cupations vitalize rather than detract I from the regular studfes: Im ‘fact, the whole course af stufly is se attractive and its value so apparent that ehil- dren who narm:‘lly would leave sehool on completion of the. sixth grade, - finue to graduation from the s.m'. * Through the weeks of practice in the different vocations, the children-are| Philander P. Claxton. U. S. not being trained to become seam- utresses printers. ete., but are being educations and the oppertunity to find out in what direction their inclina- tions.and talents lie. After these experiences the child is far better able to make a wise choice as to his future study or accupatior. A well known educator has said: “We all agree that the American pub- lic school should be good -enough for the best child in the land and it won't be_any too good then. The’ best school is the one that trains the minds and hands of its children and sends them out self-re- specting, self sustaining citizens ‘The negion that the slow-minded child, the motor-minded child. is to be given specialized shon work and trained for the trades .without regard o the training of his intellect or tastes, is stupid. The notiq1 that the alert, quick minded child is to be trained in books and hooks only_and 30 become a leader in the affaifs of the hation is more stupid, The new school believes that chil- dren know only what they experience at_first hand. The child who plans a job and car- ries'it through to the point where he personally tests it and finds that it is 5ood. has the tralning that lasts.” The proposed junior high school building would include a memorial au- ditorium gnd a gymnasium. Norwich is one of the few cities of its size that makes no provision for the physical training “of its pupils. The proposed nasium would not only accom- modate the pupils and make nossible for them® systematie. corrective phy- sical_culture. but could also be ‘used by the community. In = connection with the cooking department pupils obliged to dine away from home might be served-a hot meal at cost. They would have the privilege of -spending [the noon hour In supervised play out of doors. or. In stormy weather. in the - gymnasium, Mbrary or attractive ‘work - shops. - The proposed auditoryum neéds rio explanation. What betfter “memorial te eur soldiers could there be' than a community meeting place? And what ‘greater need have we .as a_community., than such a hall? - iren Ax we sacrificcs for the on’ “oves Lhere.’ shali we not sue: » tne children here, if needs ve v iy have the best edu:itional advantages that money can provide? Not all are called upon to pay thelr share of school expenses in the way of taxes. When the nc# Aca fmy was built some of us gladly? contrib- uted for five vears to its building fund. We are ready to do as much for the grammar school chjldren. Doubtless there are many non-taxpayers who would willingly make such a contri- bution either because of their inter- est in children or their desire to have a part in the memorial to our soldiers. The October number of the Red Cross Magazine contains a splendid article, The School That Everybody Wants. by Angelo Patri. the schoolmaster of New York city. Born in Italy, Principal Patri came as a child to this country and was edu- cated in the public schools. He has become one of the foremost educators in New York and is known far_and wide for his “Americanisme.” Patri says, in speaking of this schoel that everybody wants “All this will cost a lot of money. The building with the shobs and gar- dens and classrooms and boeks and teachers and proper supervision will be expensive. What of it? You are raising a man Didn't you mean it? Is it a cheap man you want to turm out? Raise the tax rate. Pay for the best building and the best equipment and the finest teachers that money will buy. When it begins to hurt you, remember how ycy§1 poured out vour money. your food and your children iwhen a great danger threatened the nation. You ate corn bread though you loathed it. You made the old coat do and went shabby. You bought Liberty bonds and war stamps . when you wanted to buy an automobile. You pledged everything you had to the suc- cess of the war. + Education is as important as the war. It is a war.

REED. A Judge of the Superior Court Sunday Moming Talk The “Lizht of the World” Is Sunny. Our [ord when on earth was not a friend only for dark days. He could stand Dby the grave of Lazarus and weep wilth the sorrowing sisters, but couid also be present at the wed- z at Cana of Galilee, an honored welcoming guest i. oor deep realization of the scl- emn m:seicn of our Lord to this sin- ful we'li we are apt to ‘orget that He came at an image and expreasion and embodiment of the God of love. Tie incrose Christian is not <y 10 b: bidden tc feasts where his pres- ence is only a sloomy shadow, and his countenance as a_ threatening cloud. We may be sure that even in His holy purity this was not the impression made by Him whose “compassions are new evems morning.” There was: sun- shine about Him. or the mothers would not have thronged around Him with their little ones; the despised sufferers would not have looked trust- fully to Him for help: the outcost sin- ner would not have turned to Him for ardon. s PiWe seem to fancy that God made our eyes for tears, and that from some other power came their glad twinkle of merriment or their expres- sion of innocent joy in the midst of social smiles? Who made the dim ples in the baby's face? Who lit the glad, loving light in its eves as it begins to be aware of the tender care of its mother? Why will we not re- member that joy is as much the gift of God as sorrow, and to be as freely accepted in His presence?
