A New School Building. '
The South Norwalk Union School dis.
trict is to be called upon shortly to erect
. anew school building. The principal
“question at'issue accrue to be its location:
Thedeciding factor in the selection of
a site ought to be the convenience
‘of the children of the district. What
arrangement of the school buildings will
. he most convenient can be best deter.
‘ mined bya careful consideration of the
present situation.
It is a condition not a theory that con-
fronts us. At the Franklin street build-
ing there are thirty children outside the
regular school room, seated at first in
one of the basement rooms. an unlit
place. and later crowded into the prin-
cipal’s cfllce. At the south end of the
district there are seventy children in the
Knudsen building. In the Concord
, street building two rooms are occupied
by Grades 9 and 10, which, within the
last few years. have been transferred
to that building from Franklin street be‘
cause they were crowded out of the lar-
ter place.
In addition to the scholars in these
gradesarsmany others living betWeen'
the two schools who are sent to Concord
skeet because of the crowded condition
. of theme at Franklin street. it these
two grades, 9 and 10. were removed
- from Concord street. there would be
. plenty of room for the seventy children
now in the Knudsen building. and the
south end of the district would have
ample accomodsiions.
How would it be at Franklin street?
The two grades, 9 and 10. would find no
place there. The grade now occupying
the principals omce would still be without
a proper school room. In addition to
than a large number of children would
boobiiged to go to the Concord street
school intend of the school at Franklin
sirwet, where they naturally wish to go
and where they really belong. In other
words, if things had their natural course,
the Concord street building would afford
room enough for children at that end of
the district. while at the Franklin street
building there would be surplus of about
one hundred and fifth scholars.
These are facts which are easily dem-
onstrated and which the people of this
district are called upon soberly to con.
sider. Such being the situation. what
good reason is there for erecting a new
school building in the southerly part of
the district, which. as has been shown.
has already ample school accommoda-
tions. and refusing to erect a building
l near the geographical center of the dis-
trict. where one hundred and fifty schol-
, are are to be provided for? To
ask this question is to answer it, and the
answer will be in substantial accordance
with the recommendations of the dis.
trict committee. Seine prepose to meet
the demand for more school room by the
erection of small school buildings in dif-
its“ parts of the district. Oneoi the

Profit Sharing Propaganda.
There is an Association For the Promo.
tion of Profit Sharing. Its president is
Hon. Carroll D. Wright of Washington.
Its secretary is Mr. N. P. Gilman,25
Beacon street, Boston. Professor Fran-
cis A. Walker of Boston is one of its vice
presidents. and Mr. N. 0. Nelson of St.
Louis is another. Mr. Nelson is a gentle-
. man who has practiced sharing the profits
of his extensive business with his 1111»,
ployees for many years and finds it thor-
0113th satisfactory. Some of those con-
nected with the profit sharing propagani
do are gentlemen of more ideas then either ‘
money or business. 011 the other hand,
however,several are men whohnveamass-
ed‘fortnnss by their own good hardssnsc
and hustling. Such 11 man is Alfred Dolge
of Dolgeville. the great felt manufactur-
er. Alfred Dolge is one of the directors
of the association.
A circular has been issued by the eerie
ty setting forth its aims. Its members
believe employers who make fortunes
should share some of the profits of their
business with the men who under their
guiding brain build the fortunes. For
some years the advorntes of the scheme
worked among employers. cndenvoring
to persuade them that both equity and
interest would be promoted by profit
sharing. Now, however, employees them-
selves are appealed to particularly in the
present circular.
It sets forth that this is the time to
forward the profit sharing movement,
when mills and factories are beginning
to start up again. It calls attention to
the fact that the system has been tried
in this country and in Europe with shoe
cos. to both employers and their work
men. In had years of course there will
be little or no profit to divide. and Work-
men must early understand this. The
added care and energy which they bring
to their task when they feel that the
more and better work they turn out the
more it will pay them. as well as their
employer. are a steady incentive to each
man to do his best.
The profit sharing establishment of
Alfred Dolge of Dolgeville has long been
noted for its success. Two banking
firms in New York 1~11y-Ver1uilye &.
Co and Spencer Trask & Co.——havv the
system in successful operation among
their ' clerks. This sounds well. But
while they are about it the escalation
should provide some way of distinguish-
ing between the 1-areless,sliirking work-
man and the nun who is interested in lll“
labor.
The antiforeign agitation that has er
titled in ( .‘liina for some years is spread-
ing to Japan. The Christian uni-slun-
arias there are not allowed to own 1111111
and can only reside in sotileuwuis or
colonies specially set off for them in four
or five localities. They may not travel
from one place to anotiwr with-1111 a
passport. Some of them, lu1wewr,gcl

schools and buying houses and lands in
