Vice President to be Elected at the
Meeting Next Week.
Washington Camp, P. O. S. of A.,
held a regular meeting last night. but
transacted nothing but routine busi-
ness. They intend to have a good
time next Thursday night, and it is de-
sired that all the members be present,
as an election of an officer to fill one
vacancy, is to take place. ' John 13.
Clapp, who has moved to Newark, N. .l.
was the vice-president of the order. , It
is not known as yet who will be named
to take his place. Besides the election
there will be other business of impor-
tance, and at its conclusion a social
time will be enjoyed. The Ladies
Auxiliary. of the order, called patrio.
tic Order of Americans, are holding
prelimirary meetings preparatory to
organization. Next Tuesday night an-
other meeting will be held at the real-
dence of Mrs. Thomas Cole, in Rall-
road avenue. The organlaation will
take place when ladies to the number
of twenty-five are received. They have
very near that number at present. and
it is not thought it will be very long
before the organization is perfected.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH SO-
CIAL.
The regular family meeting at the
South Norwalk Congregational Church
last night, was well attended, and all
were well .paid for going. Rev. Paul
Moore Strayer led the service, which
took the form of a song service for
about half an hour. He then deliver-
ed a brief practical talk, which was
followed with remarks by Abiathar
Blanchard. A social hour was then on
toyed, during which light refreshments
were served.

Councilmen Named.
Between ninety and a hundred legal
voters were present. last night. at the
hepublica‘n City of Norwalk caucus.
held in the assembly room in the Town
Hall building. The securing of a candi-
date for mayor has been an enigma to
the party for some time, and when the
caucus convened. last evening. no can-
dldate had been secured, and-the nom-
ination was practically for anybody
who would take it. Arthur C. Wheeler
was the general choice. but though it
was perfectly understood that he would
not accept it. he was nominated and it
became necssary for him to decline.
The caucus was called to order a few
minutes past 8 o‘clock. by Charles E.
Curtis. Mr. Curtis announced that it
was in order to choose a chairman.
Lieutenant Governor Edwin 0. Keeler
and E. S. Adams were proposed simul-
taneously. Mr. Adams declined in fu-
vor of Mr. Keeler and the latter pre-
ferred that Mr. Adams would accept
Mr. Keeler was prevailed upon to act.
and took the chair. Charles E. Curtis
was chosen secretary. Mr. Keeler an-
nounced that the first business of the
caucus was to choose a candidate for
mayor. W. A. Ambler was on his feet
in an instant. and proposed Arthur C.
Wheeler for the position. Mr. Wheeler
declined. with thanks, and stated that
it was entirely against his principals
this year to run for the position. and
under no circumstances would be ac-
cept the nomination were it tendered to
him. He moved that a formal or infor-
mal ballot he proceeded to. Chairman
Keeler decided that a formal ballot
would be the order if there was no ob-
jection. No objection was forthcoming
and Mr. eeler ordered the formal bal-
lot. Five ballots were taken for a can-
didate for mayor. after which Attorney
J. B. Hurlbutt moved that the ballot-
ing be deferred until later in the even-
ing. Mr. Hurlbutt‘s motion was ap»
proved by the caucus. Mr. Keeler ap-
pointed Lester Hyatt. Edward S. Ad-
am and John W. Greenwood tellers for
the caucus. The result of the first bal-
lot for mayor: Total number of votes

It is When we Provide Free. Text
Books for a Part of the Children
and Not for All That Pau-
perizlnu Results.
To the Editor of the Sentinel: There
is so much misinformation on the
question of free text-books i wish you
would publish the inclosed clipping
from an article written by Joseph W.
Errant and published in‘The Saturday
Evening Post. Frostext-books have
been furnished for almost a genera
tion in certain towns in this state.
and the list of towns has gradually in
creased until there are now nearly
l‘orty. So far as i have been able to
learn no town has ever rescinded a
vote for free textbooks. and i trust
Norwaik will not lead the way in such
a backward step. The health question
injected into the discussion is almost
foolish. if it be dangerous for differ-
ent people to handle the some books.
why not abolish our public libraries?
If this claim be true, think of the men-
ace to public health in the person of
Andrew Carnegie! But all sensible
people know from experience that free
text-books never have been and never
will be a danger to the public health.
During the discussion of the free text-
book blll in the last. Legislature. the
testimony from the towns which have
been supplying free text-books was all
against the claim that they are a men-
ace to health. The town of Norwalk
has always furnished free text-books
to the poor and no one has been heard
to any the system has been injurious
to the public health. The truth in
the present cry is inspired by the pock-
et. Lut us not be counting the cost in
the question of education, because ex-
perience shows that nothing in the
long run is more expensive to. a com-
munity or a government than ignor-
ance. J. H. L.
Free Textbooks No Charity.
The public school system of the Uni-
ted States has been rightly termed
the cornerstone of our democratic in-
stitutions. It not only important
that he have th free school system.
but it is equally lmpprtant that We
should have a system” which is emc-
ient. It is also important in a demo-
cracy that in the free common school.
at least. there shall be no distinctions
arising from differences in the posses.
slon of the material things of life. The
free textbook plan. wherever it has
been tried. has added to the efficiency
of the public school.
Ten states of the union have com-
pulsory frcc textbook laws. Fourteen
states have permissive free textbook
laws. The school authorities in the
optional states all declare that cities.
towns and school districts are rapidly
adopting the system. Of twenty-eight
cities in the United States having
above 100.000 population sevetoen pro-
vide free textbooks: of fourteen‘cities
having between 65,000 and 100.000 nine
furnish free textbooks.
Philadelphia has provided freetext-
books since 1818; New York City prob-
ably for fifty or sixty years. England.
which is Just now developing a public
school system modeled after that of
the United 'States, has adopted the
free textbook plan as a part of the
American system. in the light of
these facts. it would appear that the
burden is upon the opponents of the
free textbook plan to show why it
should not generally be adopted in the
United States. it is said that it is
wrong to provide with free books the
children of those who are able to pay
for them. On the same reasoning it
might be said that it is wrong to pro-
vide school buildings and teachers for
the children of those who are able to
pay for them. Again. we are told that
if we provide free books we must also
provide free meals, shoes and clothing.
The line is certainly distinctly drawn.
Meals. shoes and clothing are needed
by the child whether it is in school or
pot. ‘ The books are needed by the child
when it enters the school. 3hr one.
however, i am free to say that if the
child is to be in school. and there is
no other method provided for furnish.
log it with needed meals, shoes and
clamps. i should allow no academic
actions as to the functional of the state
to stand in the way of providing the
child with what it needs.

textbooks tends to psuperlse the peo-
ple. This is a .u , argument it

MANY oerosso TO HIGH SCHOOL.
m
Mr. Ella Tells Why the Voters Do Not
Wish to Have One.
Norwaik, Conn" October 3, 1901.
To the Editor of The Sentinel: May
I. through ycurv‘columns. be kindly
granted space to appeal to my fellow
citizenovoters in ard .to the High
School question.;an at the some time
answer the gentleman's‘interview and
letter of the 2nd,iipd 3rd inst. '-
“Certain pcrsouii,“bf the First District
are seeking to abolish the Town High
School"—~true, and the . author of the
above quotation needmot go ‘out of his
own district to find that. seine "certain
persons" who are opposed to a High
School on the Lighf‘plnn, and then. too.
if he wants to go further, be will find
that this is augmented in each voting
district. by a large expression of feeling
against the method in which said Nor-
waik High School was got. But we
would not have had to seek to abolish
it. if We had had our rights. which we.
under a.democratlc.iform of government
should and oughtt'o‘hav'e bad.
In answer to the letter of the 3rd
inst: “Under our government they
have a right to their opinion”—-—Yes;
but did We have our rights when our
representative took it to the Legisla-
ture and made us accept what we are
pressed our opinion not to accept. It
was the opinion of some citizens who
sent a petition to the Senate that we
should have the right to vote upon the
acceptance of the Legislature enact.
meat. before it-the ‘Norwaik High
Schocl~was established: but that opin-
ion, I understand. was rebufled With
that the petitioners were a set of ignor-
umusest and did not‘have any idea of
what higher education was.
Whether or not the petitioners are in
favor of a High School, or not. is not
for me to say: but i dare say that the
majority. if not all of sold. petitioners.
are against a High School on the plan
laid down., dthe are. certainly all
against the K gh Sc got in the un-
democratic way that it was. and i will
say right here. what we have done has
not been done in the spirit of "preju-
dice. spite or resentment," but with the
desire to maintain that which we. as
citizens of a democratic form of gov'
ernment have a right to ask——l. 9., our
personal rights.
We have told the gentleman once.
fairly and squarely, that we did not
want a High School on his‘ plan} and
that. too, at a meeting, which was, as
usual, packed by South Norwulk peo-
ple. as the last meeting which the gen-
tleman says was “packed." and i will
right here defy the gentleman to prove
Quit said meeting to which he refers
was packed.
When we wants High School we
want one that will be a credit to the
town. and when that time comes, 1
think we are capable of asking the Leg-
islature for it.
To my fellow citizen voters. i will
ask:- Are you going to allow a man. or
set of men, to invite you to a special
town meeting. and there present to
you a resolution for your consideration,
and then, because the outcome of that
vote did not suit their taste. take it to
the Legislature and pass it over your
head. without even giving yo no chance
to vote on its acceptance?
There are a large number of citizens
who are opposed to a“ High School in
any formwshould not they receive some
consideration?
Then there is a class, as large or larg-
er than those who want a High School
on the Light plan. who would like to
see a "central" High School formed on
a good solid business basis—should not
they receive some consideration? Are
they receiving that consideratioa when
a man or men tell them that they have
got to take what he or they any. with
not even a vote of acceptance?
Your voting to abolish the said Nor-
waik High School will not do away
with the four High School departments
which we already have. and which the
people in special town meeting as-
sembled. respectfully requested the
Board of School Visitors to maintain.
as they have in the put. until others
wise directed in town . . .
Do not be misled by the threat that a
certain district could and probably
would establish a High School. That is
only a cry that we have heard before of
sectionslism. Do not be influenced by
such. You believe in the future of

NEW YORK. October f—The some
strong northwest wind which yester-
day blew the Columbia to victory. pre~
valled this morning. A smashing wind
scurried across lower New rork bay
kicking up white caps in ovarydirec.
tion. It blew out the flags and pen-
nants on board the fleet anchored in-
side the Hook. as straight as boards
and out to sea, sent a lot or coasters
down the Jersey coast at a lively rate.
As was the case on yesterday, it in-
creased steadily after sunrise and at 8
o'clock was blowing from 18 to 20
knots. Nearly all the pilot boats on
tho station'off Sandy Hook were well
reeled down and only the heavyladen
coasting schooners were able to carry
all sail. There was an added touch of
frost in the air but overhead a brilliant
sun shone from a clear autumn sky
and wind and weather were absolutely
perfect for today's contest. Under
the rules today's race was 15 miles to
windward or leeward and return. and
it was a foregone conclusion that the
course be a dead run before the wind
to the first mark and if the wind hold
true a long heat back to the finish. it
was in just such areas as cuts that
two years ago the Columbia, gave the
Shamrock l a decisive beating of over
six minutes. it was again Shamrock's
weather, or at least what the golden
yacht people have been asking for.
The yachting experts looked forward
with keen interest to the splendid run
before the wind today as promising a
fair test of the Shamrock‘s ability in
that direction. Yesterday the Ameri-
can host demonstrated her superiority
on both the close reach, the broad
reach and the windward work. but as
yet the two racers have not met under
good conditions in a run square before
the wind, while Saturday’s race was of
this description the wind was so light
and uncertain that none of the sharps
considered it as decisive.
The crews of both yachts spent the
early morning hours in a final and
thorough inspection of rigging and
sails to make sure that nothing had
been sprained or weakened in yeater
day's strong wind. Both yachts got
away from their moorings earlier than
neural this morning, the Shamrock in
stead of waiting until one got uotaide,
hoisting/her mainsail inside the Hook.
The Columbia, however. went out un-
der tow, with bare poles and before 9
o'clock both yachts had passed outside
Sandy Hook. Tile splendid breeze
still hold true and stronger and out be
yond the lightship was kicking the
blue water into white caps.
The main sail run up on the Sham-
rock ln one not before used on the
races here. it wrinkled hadley at
first but by the time the ilgntship was
reached it was setting splendidly.
The Navigator. the committee
boat, passed out at 9:26 followed
shortly by the guard boats. and me
first boats of the excursion .fleet soon
after passing through the narrows.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the Columbia
hoisted 'her mainsail and soon after
dropped her tow.
By quarter past 10 o'clock both boats
were standing off and on and aroud the
lightshlp with inefnsaiis and olubtop~
sails up. The wind was still going
merrily when the committee boat took
up her position to the south of, the
lightshlp and hoisted a signal, the let-
ter “C". indicating that the course
would be fifteen miles south southeast
to leeward and return
Neither Captain Barr nor Sycamore
seemed to fear the wind for both set
their No. 1. or large club sails. though
yesterday Captain Sycamore in a wind

time, and both yachts were on the}
starboard tack. . .. ,
Jockeying for the start was a pretty;
piece of work. At the warning signal.‘
10:55. the yachts had not yet come to—
gether. Shamrock made a complete cir-
cuit of the committee boat and the
lightehlp. Columbia met her to the‘
northwest of the line, both close hauled
up for port tack and luffed into the
wind. Shamrock followed suit. When’
Shamrock came about to go for the,
line. Columbia also came about on her.
rival‘s starboard beam.
When the starting gun was fired both
yachts were calling parallel to the line
heading to the northward. They were
so far to the westward of it that it wasl
impossible to cross before the handicap i
gun unless one or the other gave way.l
Shamrock held under Columbia's lee
beam. They were almost on eVen terms.
but Shamrock forced Columbia nearly]
over to the committee boat. before she
gave way. .
Just as the gun sounded the handicap
signal, Shamrock's balloon jib topsail
was broken out from its stops. Her.
spinnaker boom had been dropped a
few minutes before and now the great‘
sail was smartly set.
Columbia’s balloon jib topsail wasI
broken out while she was crossing the
line, and her spinnaker was set just as‘
she cleared it.
The Columbia crossed the line exact-
ly fifteen seconds ahead. but the offic-
ial starting time, the handicap gun
having been fired, was 11;02 for both‘
boats.
After they had crossed the line the
British boat seemed to cut the Colum-
‘bla‘s wind‘to some extent. and there
ensued a little iufling match, Captain
Barr trying to get his wind clear. The
yachts were sailing very rapidly. their
huge spinnakers bellying out in the
fresh breeze, and their malnsalls draw-
ing beautifully. The foreigner began
to inch up on the Columbia and after
a few minutes of sailing she had pulled
up considerably._ At this point, how-
ever, Columbia seemed to catch her
wind and maintained it, if she did not
increase her lead for the next two min-
utes. Then again the Shamrock. her
greater sail area beginning to tell.
drew up. and it was a magnificent neck
and neck race. until at 11:17 the bronze
boat drew ahead and in a few- moments
she had placed a great stretch of water
between .her flying stern and incom-
umbia's nose. In ten minutes more.
fairly skipping over the white crested
waves. she had reeled off a good ten
lengths of the lead, and at'that time
seemed to be able to hold it. After
thirty-five minutes of sailing. both
Yachts going at a terrific pace, the
vachts had sailed about half of the first
leg, and try as the American skipper
would. he did- not seem to be able to
lessen his flying rivai's good lead.
The splendid wind sent the white
clouded racers fairly spinning along
toward the outer mark. Every square
inch of their canvas. from their: bola-
looners down to the very bottom of thel
mainsails seemed, to draw perfectly.
They were sailing wing-a-wing the
huge apinnakers out to starboard and
mainsaiis to port. the enormous cloud
