Sec. pro tem. ’ i c- ,- * Htou SCHOOL MEETING TONIGHT Tonight. at the armory, the citizens of this town, will meet to consider what action is advisable regarding the . proposed new high school. This mat- ter has been under consideration for some time, and action has been taken regarding which is quite generally criticised, the principal object he raised being that the location is not desirable and that the building pro posed .is not adequate but generally deficient in the requirements of a high school. of a modern and efficient character. The discussion has been quite general,'and the spirit in which it has been made of a. logical character. At the meeting tonight there will undoubtedly be presented quits fully both sides of the matter, and it. behooves all who are interested and. every citizens should be. inter- ested—to be present, hear what will be said, say his say, and vote accord- ing to his best judgment. There is no objection to the build. , lag of a high school, but a very gene- ‘ . ral sentiment in its favor. What is wanted is an institution adapted for the purposes intended, not. a makeshift or compromise. The expense will be large, but the necessity justifies it. There should he no false economy re- garding it. if the location is not right , and if the building proposed is not rule I” quate, both should be rejected. and the matter delayed until every require- ment can be met. This will not cause any serious inconvenience, or obstruct in general educat on. We therefore, urge the fullest pos— sible attendance at the meeiing to- night. The sub-committee of the commit- tee of cities and boroughs has been at work on securing reductions in the price of gas, remarks the Bridgeport Post. It is now laboring with the companies in South Norwalk and Tor- rington.

Mr. Editor: it is both amusing and ludicrous to read the onslaught in the VHour on the Sentinel, charging you I with an effort to being the issue. Has not the Hour been avoiding the issue—— which plainly is: “Has the town got now for its $95,000, both site and planned building. what the VQers were assured they would get at the tyne the original appropriation was made?" Think, gentlemen, of the cost of the site? Think of the cost to grade, to build retaining walls, to terrace, to ' raise the building where it should be! ,«Thlnk of the statement made that the building designed by Mr. Potter and which the committee proposed to build Would accommodate “from 500 to 600 pupils’ 'and this plan “is made part of your committee's report." These words are in the report which led the voters to pass the. $95,000 approprla», tlon vote. Now, the issue is not “pos- sible legal entanglements.” Even the Hour has not burned on that for the. lifts: issues. The issue is simply: The mmmittee made statements, under guidance of architect to be sure, but told the meeting $95,000 would do it all -—s 1school for about. 600 pupils, ado aunts for our fuuu'e needs. The com- mitted then believed. even stated, fought, for a suiliclently large school. spin a decade we should not be as Mumford and Danbnri; now are-agi- “ting for increased igh school ac- commodations. lf.we needed tolook knead, plan for growth, when the chair- " an argued, that that was the reason or Accepting the large first plans, do if the need less now to consider our sure ' d‘itrapld growth?

Is there any attempt here to being the issue? The public are. considering if $95,000 put into a building of only the capacity that will uvail for six years. and on a site udmlltingof no subse- quent enlargement is a good business policy for the growing town of Nor- walk. That is char. Look ahcnti. Six years from now we may put our case as Stamford now finds itself, but badly off—much worse. For we have been three years discussing High School, have appropriated $95,000. in 1914 our High School is crowded. in 1914 we need more room. Our citizens look back and say. “No more $lil0,000 for High School. We put $100,000 into that six years ago." (i say $l00,il00 instead of $95,000 because we will now spend in extras, on present site $5,000 when we got at that side hill). Then someone will suggest, Enlarge your present building. But, too late, 14, we will realize it can’t be done. y? This plan now to be built will allow no addition, being esiopped by limited area of lot and window lighting of this building.

"Look out for possible legal complications." Why doesn't the Hour come out in the open and meet the issue fairly? MR. CLEAR VIEW. AT THE ARMORY—TONIGHT. The issue. Mr, Editor: The voters of the town ought to think only of the issue before us. is it not this: 1. Shall We or shall We not have a High School? 2. Shall it be built. on Mallory site or a, better? 3. Shall it be what it ought. to be? ‘ 4. Shall it he built to have its ca- pacity taxed in five or six years? .. 5. Shall we build so the building will without additions, supply our needs 10 years? 0. Shall We get a new plan, suffic- ient now and so planned as to allow new rooms added as our growth re- quires? On your answer to above depends how your vote is cast at the Armory tonight. W. C.

That most of these directors encour- age and to some extent supervise the play of the children above kindergar- ten age is a gratifying indication of educational advancement. Girls, es- pecially the girls who live in cities. labor under a distinct disadvantage in that they have less time for games and sports and fewer opportunities for] indulging in theta than their more for- tunate brothers. 1 seldom do businessl with a woman that i do not wish she had played baseball or its equivalent and had thus learned to forget herself in the cause played for or worked for. The children who are receiving u‘n all-round education are those who are - getting from their school life, their home life. and the life on the play- ground, the power to check the heated word, the ability to combine tomes, with their fellows, to fight hard for “Mary, or to accept defeat gracefully. GOOil-lllillll'ed competition, the rough and tumble that toughen and burden a boy's fibre until he is ashamed to give heed to anything less than a. broken bone, the pulling together for the good of the team, with the consequent sur- render of individual preference and de- sires. the cheers for the winners given in the midst of defeat—these are not. small things, they are large and vital and must be taken into account in any broad scheme of education. There can be no doubt that the teachers and par- ents who frequently and heartily join with the. children in their plays and games avail themselves of a great op- portunity for influencing life and coil- duct. The convention was divided into sections having under consideration flfferent subjects. The. primary and intermediate section was in the main body of the church. The upgraded sec- tion was held in the Sunday school rooms and the grammar and high school Section was at the. Franklin school. At 11:15 llcnry G. Iluehler, of the llotchkiss School, Lnkeville, delivered an address on “The Creation of the Reading Habit,“ which proved very in- teresting. He showed the mistakes which are often made in providing reading which is unsuitahle to the character of the children and therefore uninteresting to them and pointed out the great mental benefits which may be derived from the encouragement of the reading habit in school children in itself at liberal education. . . J. C. Knowlton, of New Haven. in the upgraded section spoke, on "What Results Can Reasonably Be Expected." At 12 o'clock the convention ad- journed and the teachers proceeded to the different places where they were to get their lunch. A fine lunch for about 300 of the teachers was provided in the base- ment of the Congregational Church The ladies having this in charge comprised 2 Mrs. John H.
