The Gertrude Ringwalt Hopkins Prize.
In 1900 Mrs. Gertrude Ringwnlt ilop-
kins establish all annual prize which
was to be awarded to a pupil in the
Senior Department who has shown
the greatest improvement in scholar—
ship throughout the school year. This
prize was a gold medal. in a letter
from Mrs. Hopkins received a few
days ago, she said that instead of the
medal she would send this year a sil-
ver desk set. To the satisfaction of
those under whom slle has worked
and her fellow pupils, the prize was
awarded, amid great applause. to Miss
Orie Marvin, the daughter of William
Marvin, of East Norwaik. it has been
won in former years by Miss Marguer-
ite S. Hatch, Miss Rita Clark, Miss
Louise H. Nash, Miss Mary E. Mar-
vin, Miss Mary Rider, Miss Ruth M.
Baldwin. Miss Frances Harstrom.
The third number on 'the program,
Haydn’s “On Mighty Pens," fronl “The
Creation," was rendered Very artistic-
ally by Fraulein Margarctc lllankcn-
stein, of the Royal Conservatory of
Munlsh, a pupil of Lillie Leliniann, and
in charge for several years past of
the vocal music in the school. The‘
quality of tone, the skill displayed in
phrasing and enunciation showed the
finished artist‘and won.her merited
applause from her hearers.
As Dr. Carl Harstrom rose to make
his address there was renewed ap-
plpue'e, for 9. Norwalk audience is well
aware of Dr. Harstrom’s power to in-
spirt and to please. He said:'
The problems that confront us in
this day and generation are not con-
fined tc_econoinic conditioner It is
true that such questions as the regu-
lation of railways. the relation of capi-
tai and labor, the reforms of the cur-
rency-tit is true that these questions
and many more like them are weighty
problems; but education is a vital
problem and so complex as any of
those mentioaed. Ediioatlon is a per-
petual problem that taxes the ingen-
uity of both teacher and statesman.

MAYOR RELENTS ON
FIRE WORKS DEALERS
Is Shown That They Would be
Subjected to Pecuniary Loss
Exploding of F irelvorks to be
Confined Strictly to July 4th
' immediately after the announce-
ment in The Sentinel last night of
Mayor Francis i. Buriiell’s intention to
prohibit the sale of fireworks in the
City of South Norwalk until 12 o‘clock
July 3rd, iii order to bring about illi
improvement of conditions previous to
the national holiday. there was a pro
test from dealers iii the celebrating
explosives all over the city.
They maintained that it was not
fair to prevent them from disposing
early of their stocks, whereas dealers
iil Norwalk and East Norwalk may sell
promiscuously,
Mayor Burnell considered their
grievance a just one and has therefore
decided not to attempt to prevent them
from selling in advance.
The mayor, however, is just as do
ternlinod as ever to brlilg about a
snnel‘ observance of the holiday, and
to that end, the police will be instruct-
ed to strictly enforce the law and to
prevent the explohion of fireworks un-
til midnight on July 3rd, thus confining
the celebration to the twenty-foul
hours of the’ actual holiday.
The mayor is taking his present
stand simply to save the children of
the many accidents that occur before
Independence Day even arrives. and to
make life less unbearable for the citi-
zens at large for a week or ten days
before the holiday.
CONDUCTOR SEVERELY SHOCKED.
Charles Johnson, the popular il‘ol
icy conductor, had ll. narrow escape
last night at 9:30 o‘clock, when he
was at. 1h. corner of the ilostoii Store.
Something was the matter with the
jack of the car, which was a double
trucker. He thought both poles were
oft’. aild he clinlbed up on the dash-
board to remedy the trouble. As he
touched the car he received the full
charge of electricity, and he was sent
headlong to the ground. So severe
was the shock that his hands wrrc
burned, alid turned blue. it was con-
sidered a class call for him alld he
was taken to his home in Wiiiillpauk.

MUNIBIPII ;
Bill Hill}
Washington Street the Heart of
All Business interests, and
Proposed Building Should Be
Erected Close to the Rail-
road Bridge
The Editor of The Sentinel:
The question of a suitable munici-
pal billldiiig for the city of South Nor-
waik has for some time been a matter
of quiet interest to us. We were more
than pleased, therefore, when the may-
or was authorized to appolilt a coul-
inlttee of fifty to take the whole sub-
ject under consideration.
As we read over the list of the per-
sons named for the committee and
considered their individual qualifica~
lions and their relations to the city’s
interest, the personnel of the commit-
tee was to us exceedingly satisfactory.
it seemed to ils illat ally Judgment re-
specting the site, or cost, or style. of
a public building in ,, which three-
foni'tlls of them should concur would
carry very great weight.
Now as to question of site for the
proposed billldliigs—lilirary and muni-
cipal. This, it seems to me, is it
matter in which every laxpaylng cll‘
lzell of the ilinillcipnllty is personally
iiiit‘ilit’flitld. Several elements cilter ill-
io 2
i~‘irst—--’l‘llc cost. The amount paid
should not be extravagant. 'l‘lio lief)-
ple at this time are not prepared for
llnylliiiig that has that look. And yet
It. is better far to pay well for a good
site on which the building would be
conspicuous and at once command the
attention of visitors. and be satisfac-
tory to the people of ”iv city. Many
a public building has been thwarted
in its usefulness by being lily located
because the site was cheap. Let us
not make that mistake.
Second—(Minveuience. The site
chosen should be as nearly as possible
equally accessible to the people living
in all sections of the city. That cl-r-
talilly cannot be said of the mic sug-
gested on North Main street, iii the
vicinity of the Soldiers’ Monument.
Why ilot go still further we-st and
then suggest that we lliliit‘ with Nor-
wnlk (they have no municipal build
ing) ‘and put lip a union building for
”it! acconlliioduilon of the two cities?
Some few years ago a gentleman,
after giving much thought and Work
to the question, placed the center of
population for the city ilol far from
the corner of \VRSIlillg’toll and Frank-
lin streets. Since that time the growth
of the city has been more to the solith
than ill any other direction. It cer‘
taiiily has not been to the north and
westward. nor is it likely to be.
Third-«Tile site should be such that
when the buildings are put on it, oth~
ors can be grouped about them and
the wholc form a natural center of ill-
ierest and business to the city.
The advantage of such it location
will appear upon a moment‘s roilcc
tion. it" one has business at the City
Hall, that done aild lie is at once
close to the stores, post office, banks,
law offices, etc.
Now the site we are about to name
meets all these condition as does no
other within the limits of the ciiy-~
the vacant plot to the west of ii. Kriev
ger & Co's store, on Washington
street for the municipal building, and
the corner of Franklin and Washing»
ton streets, opposite Dr. i)umorticr‘s,
for the library building. Or take that
entire corner eastward 150 feet. south-
ward to the present south line of the
lots, placing municipal building on the
corner next to Franklin street, and the
library just to the east of the municir
pal building. iil favor of lilosr site
for one or both of the proposed build-
ings, it may be said:
it is equally accessible from all
parts of the city.
All the trolley lines of the city focus
at the Washington street railroad
bridge, and the railroad station is only
a short distance away.
It is almost in the very heart of all
the financial, commercial, legal and
other interests of the city. For the
patrons of the library noplace could
be more convenient.
A stranger could hardly come to
town without seeing them and inquir-
ing about them. Moreover, there are
other available properties in the im-
mediate vicinity and at reasonable
rates. for other public buildings should
the city in the future need them.
i think I am like most other taxpay~
ers. if in the end i am to be taxed
for these buildings, I would like to
have them located where our aggreg-
gated sites will show oif to the best
possible advantage . So say we all.
Put them‘hen on Washington street.

President Bradley S.,Keith and
Other Members of the Board
of School Visitors. Said to
Favor the idea—Tlay Come
Up at Annual‘Eleciion
President Bradley 8. Keith. of the
board of school visitors, Is out. strolls
for the consolidation of all of the
schools of the town uudvr one head, to
replace the present district committee
system, and a llllilliil‘i‘ of his fellow
llleinbers of the board and other prom-
inent citizens of the town have assur-
t‘d him that they l'ilvol‘ bring about
such a change.
Mr. Keith is ill hope of brillglilg‘lhls
matter to a Ilt‘lld in lime to have it
voted upon by the ‘iown at this fall's
election. -
He also favors scparallilg the mall-
ilgt-lliclit of tile grammar and high
schools. llis idea is to have one coili-
illlllce elected to manage the grammar
Schools, and number lilt‘ high schools.
Mr. Kl'Iiii ullii lIlOtil~ who mile the.
same view maintain that a change ill
the management of the schools would
work for a big saving to the town.
Says Mr. Keith ill reference to pros-
cnt conditions:
"There are. clevcn school districts
ill ilie town, slid the district commit-
tees lllrc the teachers. 'i‘llose commit-
tees pay the teachers as much as they
please, and the town tools the bill.
ii the town pays these bills, why
should it not say who shall be hired,
and how much teachers shall be paid.
Under the present system the district
committees bid against each other,
and the committee that offers the
highest salary gets the teacher. Tile
way this works was shown only a
short time ago, when one district was
paying a teacher a certain salary, and
another district in the town and an-
other district committee offered her a
higher figure, and she accepted."
Under the present method of hiring
teachers those who favor the change
of the system hold that the distribu-
tion of salaries under these conditions
is not fair to the teachers themselyes,
claiming that where district commit-
tees bid against each other, reWard
f0r ability does not always.brlng the
reward that it should.
lit is further contended that in many
ways the bringing together of the
schools under one head would work
for great economy. It is pointed out
that supplies or the numerous dis-
tricts are bong t at retail. One of the
big items is fuel, and a proposition
has already been put. before the board
of school visitors for the purchasing
of coal for all of the schools by con-
tract.
MAYOR HAD A RIDE.
Mayor Charles A. Scofield, of Nora

the looks of the chemical truck, yes

itiooked as nice as an automobile.
He was invited by Driver Hugh Cook
to take a ride to his home in Park
street. The mayor accepted the ,invl-
tation, and Driver Cook let the horses
out at full speed, and gave Mr. Soc;
field the ride of his life. Over stones,
around corners they went to Mr. Sco-
iield's home, and when he was finally
landed on the ground, he said the ride
was very nice, but there was one bump
that they struck and if he had not had
a tight hold he was of the opinion
thpt he would have been bounced over

Hill, Jr.'s, big Flat untoiilobile, ill
South Main street.
The boy, Who has a paper route, had
completed the delivery of papers to
his customers, anti then jumped on the
rear end of a vegetable wagon for the
purpose of getting a ride home. At
the corner of South Main nild Ray-
lilond streets he jumped off the wagon,
and landed in the highway directly ill
front of the automobile, He was struck
on the left side of the head, and his
right. arm Was badly brliISi‘d, blit the
automobile did not pass over illlli.
Major illll, having just turned out. for
one wagon to pill-ill, was not going at
a raplll rate of speed, and lie at once
stopped the machine. it was found that
he had a big liiiilp on the side of his
head. close to the temple, that the skin
more and on the right arm near the
elbow was torn. No bones were
scraped.
The boy lives with his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus 11. Avery. and his
mother, and three brothers and sis-
tors.
Only last week another brother, liar-
l‘y lilgorsoll, was swinging on a gate.
when lilo. poet fell over on him, and lie
was injured so badly that. Dr. F. i.
Burnt-ll had to he called to attend him.
Major Hill stated this morning that
lie was going down South Main street
aild saw the teams congested at St.
.1 eph‘s Church, and had practically
st ppcd the machine. lie saw the boy
sitting in the wagon, and making all
attempt to get out. ill order to pass
the team he pulled over to the left
hand side of the road, and saw the
boy got off the wagon, and blew his
born for him. The boy apparently saw
the auloiiloblle coming on, and started
to cross the street in front of the auto-
mobile. MaJor lilii again blew the
horn, and while looking at the machine
the boy came to a full stop. The radia-
tor of the machine struck him ill the
bead and pushed illlii down. and pass-
ed over him, the wheels on neither side
touching liiiil. Ho laid directly under
the middle of ihe machine. Major lilll
jumped out, of thoinlachiiie, and Ed-
ward Malley. also employed ill the of-
fice. of tile Norwnlk iron Works Coul-

lncil met the. boy crawling from under

The boy then got up, and Mr. Mulloy
walked home with him, while Major
iiill went after Dr. lioiinlllian, who
came iiud fixed the boy‘s injuries up.
This is the first serious accident
Major Hill has ever had with ills auto.
