CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING NOV. 18th, 1822 11,942 THE ACADEMY PROPOSITION, What must be regarded as throwing mueh enlightenment upon the matter of increased facilities for high school edu- cation In Norwich was the statement made before the chamber of commerce ‘by Principal Tirrell. Likewlse it must be regarded as a timely presentation of this matter, inasmuch as jt would be folly to wait yntil next September and then berate the trustees for not having disclosed the situation in time.to take action, Schoel buildings cannot be construct- ed over night. The trustees have sensed the situation. Principal Tirrell has made a clear presentation of it and It remains for the pegple of Norwich to determine whether they are going to take advantage of thi# proposition of the Aeademy trustees which will mean a gradually diminishing expense over a perlod of years or whether the problem will be solved by the adoption of plans that will mean stil] heavier expense. It is a most favorable sign when K we are told that the demands for high school education has so far outgrows the facilities that another year will show the present equipment unable to meet them. It indicates growth as a comumnity, an increased interest in the educational facilities of Norwich.by the surrounding towns and the right attl- tude tdward education. Norwich isn't planning or willing t3 stand still. Certainly & will not tajer- ate the thought of going backward. e opportunity of getting the benefit or such a favorable proposition as has been made by the Academy trustees m not presented to every commumity. Nor- wich has been fortunate for & long term of years through the service it-has gain- ed frem that institution at'a ridiculous- ty small expense, Such henefits as’it 15 able to give are still going to be' de- voted to educational efforts in Norwich and it must make its appeal as an ex- cellent business proposition - when - is planned to meet requirements’ by addi- tions to a highly successful, large .and going institution rather than by the. es- tablishment of a new one with a duplie cation of fixed charges. — WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES. Those who invested in war savings certificates are probably wondering where the five years have gone to since those days in' 1918 when they bought these government securities ta aid the governmnet in financing the war. Nev. ertheless announcement to the effect that the government is prepared to re- deem those certificates the first of the vear when they become' due K makes’ it evident that the time has passed and thought must be given to the disposi- ton of the sums involved. Those who have kept in mind these Investments, or even those who have temporarily forgotten them, cannot fail lo appreciatet the security that has heen afforded through placing the money In these certificates which will return the Investment with compounded interest to the owner. -How extensively such cer. tificates are "held is indicated by the fact that the government will' pRy’ $625 000,000 the first of January in redeem- ing them. X The government stands ready to pay them in cash, or it will‘exchange them for_treasury savings certificates of the 1923 series, That the certificates which tall due to the first of the year have shown a great number of people the im- portance of %aving and impressed upon the seturity that is assured by the gov- ‘rnment’s promise is unquestioned. Many who were not able to purchase Liberty bonds put their 'savings into thess certificates. Getting their mumwes soon with interesf, it is not improbahble that a great number of them will take tdvantage of the opportunity that has been afforded by the govermment to.re: Invest their money in a new serieg of certificates. Bncouragement to the idea of saving having Been given it is natural that.it should stimulate interest in that diree- tlon. For those who think they must have the protection of some such meth- od in order to save there'isn't anything that affords greater safety, Those who value their investment to the extent of keeping it as much an increasing it are providing that protection against a rainy day that too many, disregard, UTILIZING FACILITIES. ‘When the statement 1s plans are being made for the organiza- tion of a -transportation company thai will operate vessels from = Duluth, through the great lakes and the New York state barge canal, to New York it means, the utilization of & ' waterway that the governor of New York hag been urging ever ‘since there was advocacy of the development of the St. Lawrence They are used, the extent that they should and even with' the new and|‘else’ they k.t 1 | -\ railroads - at the time when farm pro- ducts are waiting to he moved.

What seems:to be re- quired is a type of vessel that will go through the canal, and’ thé example be- ing set by the Duluth premoters may be only the forerunning of mueh greater development. along this line. SPANGLER NEGLIGENCE. Called to determine the responsibility fn' connection with the explosion in the coal ming at Spangler, Pa., where. 77 miners lost their lives, the . coroner's Jury has given- its verdict tq theseffect that the colliery company managament was to blame inasmuch as it did not heed the warnings- that had been given and failed to provide the needed salte- guards for the protection of the human lives. s The tragic affair at Spangler is the wrong way in which to find out danger- ous conditions and guard against them. It is toa great a price for those who Iost their lives and those dependent up- on them to pay. Yet it is too often the case that there Is delay until just such disasters do--oceur before preventive measures are undertaken, From the jury report it does not ap- pear what had been done by the man- agement as the result of the informa- don given to.it that there was gas in the mine and that there was danger it would “go up.” It is not indicated ties on the lakes that théy are quite as|’ SUPREME TEST. “John Griggsby, I wasn't expecting you - the bank for a little way. looking for a ! for threo days!
