HARTFORD, May 31.—-Bllls con-
cerning the supervision of schools
were discussed by the Farmers‘ Asso-
ciation of the Legislature at a meet-
ing this morning. Representative
Warner. of Woodbridge. said that one
of them contained a “joker" In that
no town could appoint a superinten—
dent of schools without the approval
of the state board of education. This
he expressed as being the rankest
thing In connection with legislation
pertaining to educational matters that
had been introduced during the ses-
sion. it was suggested that an amend-
ment be offered striking out the edu‘
cational section.
The. “Atwood" bills were again dis-
cussed. Representative Atwood, of
Wutertown. said the state had held
out an invitation for the past twenty
'years to any one who would Institute
proceedings against those who violated
the statute. lie emphatically declar-
ed that the House should reject the
judiciary committee's report favoring
the repeal of the law. If anything was
to be done it could be accomplished
by an amendment providing a penalty
for delinquent administrators, execu-
tors, etc. ,
Several other members expressed
their views on the matter, the prevail-
ing sentiment. of the speakers being
against the repeal of the present. law.
Representative Hull, of Monroe. said
the policy of giving any one not in-
terested in an estate the right to sue
and exact penalties was all wrong and
he was in sympathy with the ludic—
Iury committee‘s findings. although he
wanted it understood that he had none
whatever with Mr. Atwood. He class-
ed him as an adventurer, who if he
succeeded in getting his fingers burned
it was his own lookout.

of assistance from the village of. New-

reach across the stream and sweep
this part of the town also. The Sandy
