Francis Leonard moved that the

ask the selectmen what was meant in
a printed report by the heading "oth—

know if-the Silvermine bridge h d been
paid for out of this sum. Selectman

Judge John H. Light Believes That the
Town Should not no Backward
and Abolish the looks or the
Town Hlph Schools. '
Judge John H. Light was interviewed
by a Sentinel reporter, this morning.
relative to the 'town election, and he
expressed his views as follows:
"Next Monday will witness the most
important town election ever held in
Norwaik. There are vital stats ques-
tions and vital town questions to be
voted upon by the electors. it is to be
regretted that in view of the great
importance of the election, the select-
men should have delayed issuing the
call to this eleVuth hour. i spoke to
the first selectman several times about
the importance of the election. and re-
quested him to publish the call as soon
as possible. in order that the people
might have a fair opportunity to learn
and consider the many important ques-
tions to be voted upon. Owing to the
lateness of the call. it is very doubtful
whether many of the voters in the out-
lying parts 0f the town will learn of
the questions submitted to the voters
before election day. and for this reason
the fair expression ofthe real opinions
of the voters will not be shown in the
ballots cast.
"The state issues Involve three im-
portant constitutional questions, and
the town issues involve two vital ques-
tions relating to our public schools. I
haven‘t time this morning to discuss
these issues. but i will make a few aug.
sections on the school question. Free
text books and school supplies were
voted by the town. after a fair discus-
sion. in an open town meeting and in
the papers. and the system has been
thoroughly established. and the books
now owned by the town. in the hands of
the children and in stock. will last
about three years; that is to shy the
average life of a school book under thii
assumdsetbm-sm- , Hence the cost-
for the next two years will be substan-
tially less than the cost for the past
year. if the vote should be against free
text books. the townwould have all
this stock on hand, and thé attendancr
and efficiency of our schools would be
greatly impaired. and the town of Nor-
waik Would be set back among the un-
progressive towns of the state. About
forty of the leading towns and cities of
the state are now furni hing free text
books and supplies, an it is for the
people of Norwaik to say next Monday.
whether or no they propose to keep the
company of such progressive towns
We are certainly old enough to have
the very best educational system. i
think our people will refuse to take
any backward step.
”Certain persons of the First Dis-
trict are seeking to abolish the town
High School. and if they succeed at
the polls next Monday. the town of Nor~
walk will be without a High School. If
is for the people to say whether or not
this shall be done. in a Democratic
government. the people rule and make
their own conditions. but in the nature
of things they cannot escape the conse-
quences of their own acts. The town
of Noeralk is what the. people are. and
the schools fairly represent the public
mind on the question of education. In
higher education we are decidedly be.
hind other towns of our class. but
should the“ “town abolish the High
School. I am pleased to know that un-
der the law. anydistrict may maintain
a High School. and l hove no doubt
that the South Norwalk Union district
will do so. i hope, however. that this
may not be a . because it would
naturally tend to widen the differences
between . Norwaik and South Norwaih,
and perhaps result in a division of the
town. ‘ '
"it is to be hoped that the spirit
which controlled and made successful
our arms anniversary celebration. will
our schools."

“John EY'Fullbh.“ I ‘ r
of the New York division of the Con-
solidated railroad, today rounded out
forty-three years of service in the em-
ploy of that company. Although his
department is important, and his work
that which requires both skill and prac-
tical knowledge. yet in all these years
very little has been said of him person-
ally. Mr. Fuller is of a retiring dispo»
sition, very quiet in manner and not.
addicted to speaking of his work‘or of
himself. Occasionally a paragraph.
perhaps. has appeared in the newspa-
pers about his labor. and yet so widely
known has his work become among
railroad men that he stands today one
of the first and best bridge builders in
this country.
Prior to September. 1858. Mr. Fuller
was employed as a carpenter by the
old firm of Swords A Stillsou. He was
then twenty—four years of ago. Just be-
for the first of October. 1858. William
Bartram. then bridge foreman of the
New York and New Haven road. sent
for John E. Fuller to assist him in
building a “gallows frame" over the
Westport drawbridge. October lot.
1858. John E, Fuller's name was placed
on the pay rail of the N. Y.. N. H., l:
ii. R. R.. and it has remained there ever
since. but not as a bridge carpenter.
After William Bartram came Ralph
Hutchinson as bridgebuilder: under
him John E. Fuller was made bridge
foreman. in 1868 Hutchinson left and
Mr. Fuller took his place. At that time
George P. Sunburn was road master.
During Mr. Fuller's early connection
with the road. the company was recov-
ering from the Schuyler fraud. Back in
the ’50s. Preside t Schuyler issued
about 88.000.000 w rth of bogus stool.
The stock was signed by the president
of the company and innocent people
bought it. Schuyler lied, and the road
had to pay for the stock. Theo fol-
lowed the Norwslk drawbridge soci-
protect and foster both our unity and ‘33:“ which cost the road about “0°"
more. These two great losses logo-
ther proved such a , arias blow that
for some years no divl ends were d:
but the [not earning power: the
road star s time brou t abouts
more ppy stats of a rs. and since
than the stock has rolled up in value
until now it is gilt edged. ‘ ‘

'; SAN FRANCISCO. October 2-—-The
triennial convention of Episcopal blah:
ops. clergy and laity was preceded at
7:30 o. m. by the celebration of the
Holy Communion in the local Episco-
pal Church. At 11 a. m.. the conven-
tion was formally opened at Trinity
Church. Seventy-five bishops assembl-
ed in the Guild room of the church.
and after robing formed in procession
and marched up Bush street to the
main entrance of the church.
procession was headed by Rev. H. W.
Clampott, therector of Trinity Church.
Then came Secretary Hart, of the
House of Bishops. and Rev. Charles L.
Hutchins. secretary of the House of
Deputies. Following were the junior
bishops and then the older prolstes in

Morris was a strong missionary pleat:
from the text: “Launch Out into the
Deep and Let Down Your Note for a
Draught." and Joshua's words to the
children of lsrael. “How Long are Ye
Slack to go to Possess the Land 1"”
He declared that the mission of the
church of Jesus Christ was to all us-
tions. ranks and conditions. She is to
launch out and cast her nets into the
depths of ignorance. poverty. unthrift.
sorrow, shame and crushing grief. the
deans of avarice. too. as well as beaot~

tion were gathered here in this—4.0 the
most of them—~far off part of the coun-
try. As a resident of the Pacific for
thirty years he felt that he could speak
as one who knew its needs and its
promises, and was aware of the slack-
ness of the church in coming out to
possess this good land.
The bishop quoted from a speech
lately delivered by President Roosevelt.
at Denver. in which the then vice-pres-
ident showed how slow the statesmen
of the early days of our country's his-
tory were to realize that the great West
was to become an inhabited and civil.
lived land within any reasonable per~
lod. This ignorance was reflected in
the church. Opportunities were neg—
lected because of it, and the conse-
quent loss to the church is irreparable.
Speaking of the suggestion from acme
quarters that the missionary organiza-
tions needs reconstructing the bishop
placed himself on record as an unbe~
liever in the 'necessity of radical reor-
ganisation. He said he did not believe
the church ever had a more efficient
missionary administration than at pre-
sseni. “it is the old story." he added,
"of seeking some one else on whom to
lay the blame instead of taking it home
to ourselves. if all the clergy, bishops;
and laity had done as well as a. few
have done there would harm been no oc-
casion for this cry for the reconstruc-
tion of our missionary system." '
