‘Thspreseut agitation concerning the
consolidation of public schools in Nor-
walk. should receive the closest atten-
ticuaudmost careful study of all the
votersof the town. There is consider-
able feeling on the subject at this end of
the town, and the burden of the sentiv
merit expressed is against consolidation.
An Evening Sentinel reporter inter-
viewad some of the representative men
of the South Norwalk district, to secure
the 1' views on the subject. A. Blanch-
ard. one of the preunt board of school
visitors. in answer to the inquiry "Are
you in favor of consolidation?" said.
"Under present conditions! am not in
favor of the consolidation of the school
districts of the town. There are some
manifest objections to the scheme and I
see no compensating benefits. The ex-
pense of Wag school business would
eeessagily be increased. When all the
11
work that is now done by the officials
of the several districts at no expense is
imposed upon the town board some one
will have to be paid for doing it. In
looking after the school interests of all
parts of the town and in supervising the
expenditure ’ of more than $40,000 in
money a great many details will have
t) be attended to. It is no more to be
exweted that all this work will be done.
for nothing than that the seleotmen will
be willing to do the towmbusiness with-
‘ out compensation. There would be too
much of it and there is a limit to the
amount of time and effort which compe-
tent men can be expected to devote
gratuitously to the public interests.
“In looking through the document is-
suedibyths State Board of Education on
'Town Manuement of Schools’ it is apt
parent that the objections there urged
against'the districtsystem are applicable
tosmalltowns.butnot to a town like.
RW' "You wm‘notio‘e' tllat't’ne first
objection that districts have not a vigor-
ous independent public life does not up-
ply here; : I we no lack of public spirit
and interest in the schools in this South
Norwalk district, in East Norwalk, in
the uptown districts, in Winnipauk. in
Bowaytou, and even in the smaller dis-
tricts of the town. .
"Again it is said that the present sys-
tem is not workable. I am not aware
that such is the case here in Norwalk,
It is urged that the district system
affords unequal opportunities to child.
ran in difleyent sections of the town, in
giving longer terms and better teachers
to some districts than to others. In this
town all schools are in session forty
weeks. and an examination of the last
annual report of the school board shows
that the pay of teachers ranges just
about the same in all districts. There is
no apparent reason why all should not
have equally good teachers.
"The next point is in regard to school
buildings. The facts will show that the
count is not sustained in this instance.
"In regard to economy of town man-
agement I have already alluded.
"The objection is next urged that
these district committees are * not con
tinuing bodies so as to carry out any
settled policy in reference to the schools,
It is a continuing body in the South
Norwalk district and I think in some of
the other districts of the town. The mem-
bers are elected for three years, the term
of one member expiring each year. This
ought to be the system in all the dis-
tricts. "
“Finally the district system is charg-
ed with absenteeism and irregularity of
attendance. The state report gives
Norwalk a good rating in this respect.
"I have been told by some who signed
the petition to the selectmen to enable
the voters to consolidate the schools,that
their purpose was to bring about the es-
tablishment of a town high school. As
I understand it a central high schopl
could be established equally well under
the present district system, and would
not inevitably follow consolidation. I
suggest that you ask Mr. Light, who is
a member of the town board, as to the
legal status of the high school matter.
shouldsuderstand just_what they are
doing. This understanding can come
only aftersfalldiseussionof the on»
t on and for suchdlscussion there has
us yet been no opportunity. A change
of such importance, sifwting our schools
and their relations to the maple in dif-
ferent ssctionscf the town should not
be hurried through by a movement
started on thecveofaueleotion. lithe
proposed change is clearly a public
benefit it will bear examination, and we
can in this, asin other matters of the
kind, profitably take our time before
coming to a decision."
sun scum lawman of It.
Attorney John E. Light. when inter-
viewed by the reporter, made the fol-
lowing statement:
“Iamcertainly opposed to the con-
solidation of our school districts, under
existing circumstances. To my mind,
it is both unfair and illegal to bring the
question to avote without first notify-
ing the people of the several districts,
according to the provision of the statute
of1895. This statute reads as follows:
'When it is proposed to form, alter,
unite or dissolve any school district or
districts. notice that such change is pro-
posed shall be posted on the
schoolhouse in each school dis-
trict tobe affected, * it e i a
and printed in a newspaper or news-
papers published iu the town to which
such districts or any of them may be-
long, if any there be, and a copy of the
same shall be left with the clerk of each
of said districts at least fifteen days be-
fore the town is called to not upon the
proposition. »
’ “Sec. 2. All acts and parts of acts in-
consistent hercwith are hereby repeal-
ed.
“The notice required by this statute has
not been given. Our Supreme Court in
passing upon the language of this sta-
tute says: "The object of the statute
doubtless was to give a more extended
notice than would be likely to be given
by the ordinary, warning for a town
meeting, and for a longer time: so that
each voter might have an opportunity to
consider well the proposed change, and
each district an oppoatuuity, if desired,
to take corporate action."
“No one can fail to see how unreason-
able itiatoclaim the right to abolish or-
dismlve school districts without first
giving such districts full and Minotaur,
notice of what is sought to be done.
“I don’t hesitate to say that if no such
statute existed it would bomanifcstly
unfair to vote to abolish the districts
without first giving such notice. In my
judgment half of the people of‘thc town
today haven’t any idea what the consoli-
dation of the school districts really
means. It is quite obvious from conver-
sations had with a numberof the signers
of Mr. Maplcs' petition to the Selectmen
t l embody this question in the call for
the annual town meeting that even they
don’t understand the full scope and
character of the proposed action. Many
of them signed with the understanding
that consolidation would give the people
a town high school, but anyone who will
take the pains to look up the law will
readily see that town high schools are
established under aseparate and differ-
ent statute, and are just as easily obtain-
ed under the district system as
they would be under the consolidation
system, if not more so. Consolidation
will be likely to cast the tax-payers about
63,000ayear more than they are now
paying, and, in view of this additional
burden, they will be less disposed to
appropriate any additional sum for a
central town high school. Therefore. I
think it wise to get our town high
school before we take on any additional
burdens. ,
“Now I don't hesitate to say that there
are few, if any, advantages to be ob-
tained under consolidation which can-
uotbcobtalncd under our present sys-
tem without cuddling all .thc digtrict
property and obligations upon the town.
It is said that consolidation will unify
the school work and give us a town
superintendent and enable the school
board to hire all the teachers. Well.
why consolidate for that purpose? All
those benefits may be obtained under
the present district system, if the people
desire to have them. I should think it‘
much safer to adopt those reforms first,
and, if thought wise, to consolidate after-
ward. Evolution is always better than
revolution. Experience has shown that
consolidation is more desirable for small
towns than for large powns and cities.
The following cities and towns have re-
fused repeatedly to consolidate in the
“In the state pamphlet are the names llface of quite a strong demand far it
of forty-sis towns which have consoli-
dnted their school districts. In looking
over this list it will he noticed that the

conspicuousby their absence. For in-

forty-six have consolidated. Consolidw

of vital interest. The danger we have
to contend against is apathy and indif-
ference. ‘ The greater the number of our
citizens interested in our schools the
better school government and the great-
er interest in education. The more you
remove our loitisens from olfiicial con-
tactwith the. schools of the town. the
less interest they will take in them. It
Would seem almost asdangcrous, though
in a lesser degree, to abolish our district
governments, asit would be to abolish
our State governments. There is,
doubtless, some good in central govern-
ment; but it is ’almost sure death to

Seuss Qasuloaate Its named.
Mr. Editor: May I ask what is the
purpose of the effort being so‘suddeuly
and strongly made to secure the consoli-
dation of our schools, abolishing all dis-
trict lines and authority? In all the
daily papers, save one, there has been no
reference to a matter soimportaut which
it appears is to be determined by the
voters’ ballots next Monday. Is there in
any district of the town any critichm of
the condition and result of our present
educational methods? 15‘ it merely that
a change is needed? Let's have some
thing diluent, try something new? May
it not be well to consider that change is
not necessarily progress? Who, Mr.
Editor, are those actively working to se-
cure a change? Are the movers of this
, matter those who are intorestedsolely
in the educational welfare of our com-
munity? How many of those called on
to decide this matter Monday next will
go to the polls, deposit ballots for or
against, after intelligently looking for-
ward to see what the outcome of its
adoption will be?
Is it believed that a more competent
Board of School Visitors will be nomi'
noted and elected than now? Will not
the Board of Education be elected town
wise then as now? What under the
new system will induce the politicians
of either party to nominate better, more
competent men than ale now being
placed as candidates? Is there any-“
thing in the term "consolidation" to
conjure by that suddenly leads the can-
cuses to select any more efficient scr-
vunts than the present membership of
the Board? If we have no more compo-
tcnt, ellicient, progressive Board how
are we to have more efficient schools?
Is it probable that the Board will be
more efficient than our present district
committee? Why?
Is it believed that when our South
Norwalk district is ready to build
a school structure a Board made
up of members of varous sec-
tions of the town will act more
interestcdly and wisely than our own
local committee?
Who can better decide than our local
voters on a suitable site, what sort of a
building we need, for what use we need
it?
But a central Town High school is
what is sought for.
Can a conisolidatcd Board do more
than the present Board? The Town of
Norwalk in its sovereign: capacity in
town meeting must dewrminc whether
or not a high school shall becstabllshed.
Let me then inquire what is the pur-
pose of the change, who are the promo-
ters of it, and what object is to be ob-
tained? ’
There has been no discussion of so ill]-
portauta subject. Make haste shiwly.

. Favors Consolidation.
To the Editor of the Sentinel: Dear
Sir: There is much that has been and
more that could be said in favor of the
consolidation of the schools of the town
of Norwalk; but a comparison of the
report of the school visitors in 1878 with
the one of last year, a period of sown-
teen ycars, in our judgment, is un argu-
ment strongly in favor of consolidation.
In 1878 the enumeration was 3,254, in
1893, 4,293; gain, til ”-10 per cent. In
1878 registered attendance in the schools
was 2,llll,in was. 3,142; gain, 7 9-11)
per cent. In 1th average attendance
was l,771,ln 1895, 2,2l2; gain 24 it'll)
per cent. Cost of schools in mm was
326,8!“ in 1895, $40,809, an increase of
51 (HI. per cent.
So we note that while the enumera-
tion has gained 31 Delft per cent; mgis‘
tered attendance 7 9.10 per cent; average
attendance 24 8-H) per cent, our expenses
have increased 51 till). Has the efil-
ole-my ofthc schools increased in any of
the above ratios? Under consolidation
this amount of expmdituro, with proper
superintendancc, and a judicious grad-
ing, would relieve the overcrowding of
manor the necessity of hiring addi-
tional ones that a multiplicity of grades
may be maintained.
A uniform system of text books and
of teaching would be obtained; and if a
high school should be established each
pupil who catered it would be admittcd
by the some Ward of scholarship.
Under (invalidation teachers would
be obligedhinalutain a particular stan-
‘dardofmnonmrfailing to do so,
would be mpslled to relinquish her
position form who could.
0hr ‘m: ‘ visitation, or examina—
tion, as it iscallsd, is a farce, and is not
conducive ‘to thebest interests of the
schools, insannohas it does not secure
the uniformity desired by the custom of
setting split certain schools for each
member of Cl. acting school visitors to
visit, each d "whom has methods and
ideasof his own. which prove in. some ,
cases to differ very materially from his
fellow visita's, and when he makes his
annual report he represents the schools
ofhisvisitatlonashe sees them or his
favor wggsfis. .
This would be entirely done away with
under one management, and our schools
would be nannifestly improved.
Our evening school under a competent
superintc 7 would become a success}
and on the whole Norwalk could refer
to her schools as not inferior to any in
the country. .
But greater care u‘than is. now used
would to necessary in selecting those
into whose hands Nonvalk would place,
the control of its schools. Yours truly,

The Norwalk city conventionfior the
nomination of a Democratic city ticket
was held at Phoenix Hall last night.
Nicholas Martin, chairman of the dis.
trict committee, called the convention
to order and was chosen its chairman.
E. J. Finnegan, secretary of the com-
mittee, was elected secretary of the con-
vention. The rollcull showed nine out
of sixteen delegates to be present. .
. Chairman Martin stated that realiz-
ing the difficulty in securing good men
to stand for public office some mission-
ary work in that line had been done with
fairly good results. He began a state-
ment of the work accomplished by pre-
senting the name of 0. E. Wilson for
mayor. Mr. Wilson was unanimously
nominated. .
The chair presented the names of H.
W. Gregory, L. C. ' Bette, E. H. Fillow,
James W. Storey, W. R. Bates and C.
A. Burr as} those who would stand for
councilman. '
Upon motion of John J. Hanlon, At-
torney Henry W. Gregory was unani
mously nominated.
Mr. Hanlgn stated that there was some
dissatisfaction among the firemen, who
had a grievance against a certain mem
ber of the present city council. He
thought it would bcgood politics to seri-
ously consider themamc of A. A. Chin-
ery one of tho Norwalk nominees on
both tickets.
Bernard Tully stated that Mr. China'y
would undoubtedly be elected by a
splendid majority and saw no good reas~
on why he should be placed upon the
Democratic ticket. He thought there
were good democrats enough in town to
fill up a ticket without getting assistance
from the Republicans.
The other candidates were being con
sidered when Patrick Siattery nominat-
sdA. A. Chiuery. The chairman dc-
clared the motion out of order. '
J. H. Gormley nominated E. H. Fil-
low.
Slattery objected, “Mr. Fillow is not
a good Democrat and l have reason to
know it. Any man who would vote for
a Republican in the Council chamber is
not a Democrat."
Frank Houncckor said they had good
men without getting doubtful men.
Chairman Martin said that the gentle-
men who had consented to run did it,
knowing that they would be sacrificed.
The Councilmen were finally nominat~
ed as the slate was presented.
