Messrs. Kieth and Wheeler of the
Opinion That ,the People do Not
Want a High School “Cram-
med Down Their Tin-oats."

M

 

The members of the Board of School
Visitors held a meeting in the select-
men's office in Norwalk, last evening.
and although no business was trans-
acted there, was a beatel discussion
over the High School dues ion and the
recently passed law in regard to a
high school.

Messrs. Keitll. Graham, Kendall.
Tolles, Wheeler. Mead and Blanchard
were present. The meeting was
called to order by President. B. S.
Keith and the minutes were read and
approved.

The first discussion was opened by
Mr. Blanchard, who said that E. H.
Gumbart, principal of the East Nor-
wulk school, had come to him and said
that one of his scholars had tailed of
promotion and it had been given out
'that she and her brother were going
to the aver River school. and that an
application had been made for permis-
sion to semi them to that school.

Mr. Mead said that Mr. Wighnm had
been instructed not to receive anyone
unless he wero permitted to enter by
the proper forms.

Mr. Wheeler thought that. cases of
that kind ought not to be permitted
and he considered it possible that the
children were not at the school. as ho
had not seen them there Monday morn
lug.

Mr. (lraham asked if it would not
be a good idea to wait until the trouble
came and not to invite It.

President Keith stated that. Mr. Tris-
traln had had an application and that
he (Mr. Keith) had told him to see
that it was ill the proper form.

Mr. Graham presented the following,
resolution : . \_

Whereas. The General Assembly rs.
centiy passed an act concerning the
Norwalk High School. whien provided
that said school shall hereafter be
conducted under the head or titlo.ol
the Norwblk’fiigh School, with one or
more departments and courses of
study. apd that the organization. con-
ducting and management of said
school shall be under the Board of
School Visitors. and the said board
shall have in general the powers and
duties of ' district committee. and
board of so I visitors under the laws
of this state. and therefore.

Resolved. That tile acting School
Visitors be and they hereby arc nulli-
orized anti Instructed to ascertain
where suitable uceommtnlation in the
Way of rooms may be had. to prepare
courses of study. and estimate the
cost of maintaining said school for the
next school year and the proper organ-
ization of same alltl report to this
board at its next monthly meeting.
with such rocmnmeudutions as they
may think proper.

This resolution was passed and the
meeting formally adjourned and the
members talked over the high school
matter.

8. S. Keith said that if the people
were to votc on the question of this
law they would rote it down. as the
sentll’ncnt has that they didn't want it
crammed down their throats.

A. Ilium-hard said that cavlllnu
would kill the high school and that
centralization was the only thing for
the town. As a South Norwulk man
he was willing to go more than half
way.

A. 0. Wheeler was in favor of the
high school. bill said air. Light was
implored to lot the bill go through til
the regular Why. Why was there
special legislation? No request was
lnado by the board to establish a high
school by any other method than thn
I‘f‘fll'ltlfll‘ our. The fact that this comes
from fills end of the town to nothing.
Mr; Light said the school should In.»
ostnblishcd In this way or not at all.
Naturally the people are rebellious.
He says anyone who is against this is
against higher education. if ho had
lot it go through in the regular way
under the General Statutes It. would
have been all right and would not be
thrown downhcxt October. If ctmsoic
idutlon In good for the High School
why Is It not. good for the Grmnmur
Schools? Yet NOI'WItlk voted heavily
for consolidation and Mr. Light. with
hit-ini‘nfluenue. defeated it In South Nor-
wa , '

A. Blanchard stated that one or two
amendments had been udded to the
bill. by which It could he voted on next
fall. and that the subject of the text.
books for it could also be voted on.

fl. 8. Keith said he had heard one
man say that those people In Hurt-
ford wore foxy and fixed It so that a
few thousand could be used for touch-
cre and books and then the people
would allow the thing to no on rather
than throw the money away."

Mr. Blanchard: ."lf a few of the
Board tried to out this through I am
sure We would hear from some of the
members." '

A. 0. Wheeler: "In Massachusetts

0 books are given to the children
and they own them. In all the at or
New England states about Gonna ti~
out free text books are compulsory." _

Norwich, says free hooks are no more

was not Enforced.

The bul‘bni‘s of South Nor-walk are
glad to believe that the article that up
poured in Tuesday's issue of the Help
tinel quoting the decision of Justice
Austin. does not voice the opinion 0.
the public. We would be sorry to be!
have that it did. in his opinion he
states that Sunduy shaving is a noose,
sity of society and that would not at-‘
tend church if they could not get suav-
ed Sunday morning. This sounds fool-
ish in the face of the fact that there
are fourteen barber shops with twen-
ty-seven harbors in waiting seventeen
hours on Saturday lit the little city 0t
South Norwalk. We do not believe that
there is a single businessman. me~
cbunlc or day laborer in South Nor-
wuik but who can find fifteenimlnntes
leisure time to get shaved during sev-
enteen hours on Saturday.

It should also be taken into consldr
oration that the barber works eighty-
Ihrec hours a week and is badly in
need of one day for rest and recrea-
tiotl and should not be deprived of at—
tending church. In almost every city
of Connecticut. throughout the West
and our neighboring states. the barber
shops are closed on Sunday. Shall
South Norwalk lag behind? Out of the
fourteen shops in our city. all have
been closed for several months, with
the exception of three.
