Not Feasible or Desirable at the Pres-
ent Time. Says Commission
“It is not feasible and desirable at
the present time for the government
to purchase, to install, or to operate
pneumatic tubes."
This is one of the most important
conclusions reached by a, commission
appointed by the postmastergeneral
to inquire into the question of the lens
lbillty of the government. purchasing
and operating pneumatic tubes in the
cities where the service is now install-
ed, which was today transmitted to
Congress by l’ostmastcr-(lenel‘al Mey-
er, the conclusion of which be ap-
proves. The commission, however,
recommends the desirability of the
further investigating the subject of
government ownership of the pncu~
nlutlc tube servims ill live or six years.
The pneumatic tubs service is ill on
oration at. present it] New York. 1'llil~
tltielphiu, lloston,Chicago, St. Louis
and llrooklyll.
The conclusions of the commission
are Ils follows:
“’l‘llut pneumatic tube service is all
important auxiliary for rapid irunsnlis
slon of lll'Sl‘t'llIh‘H mail ill the lllI‘L:t‘.\'l
cities and perform n function not at

vance dispatches of fit'stvt'lltss mail
from trains for city delivery,
"’I‘llut. when established It should
also be employed as far as possible,
ect‘lnomically, for the trullsllllssilln of‘
other mail.
“’l‘llat registered Inail should be sent
by tithe whenever security lilltl t‘t'lt'l'~
lty can be combined.
“’I‘Ilat pneumatic lube service ap
pears to be still ill all expel'illn-llial
condition, Illtlloua‘h progress has been
made toward the developnn-ut oi" a
fixed standard of l‘nachlln-ry.
"'l‘hat. with the abovo reservation
the rcmtlarity and cillclency of the
tube service is commendable.
"That the Contracting companies
should he required to complete their
contracts without. undue delay ill order
that, the effect of full and complete
systems may be ascertained.
“That. the present contracts will put
expire for nearly eight years and that
that period should furnish opportunity
for perfecting the systems and for ob-
serving the effect upon the postal scro
vlcc: that during that period other
methods of transportatiml may be de-
veloped which may affect the ques-
tion and that it. is desirable to renew
the consideration of the question of
government. ownership in five or six
years." ‘ .
The. above conclusions were reached
by the comlllissiou after ll very careful
study of the question of the govern-
ment. taking over and operating the
pneumatic tube service which was ill-
vcsiignted by n sub-committee of the
connnlsalon. ’l‘lle conunitlcc consist-

New School Running Expenses.
Ill“ Kendall read it few lilzures to
show how much llltillt‘Y is being spent
on the High School. lie read a list of
several hundred dollars for illcidenlals,
about $12,000 worth of books, etc. The
teachers' salaries each month is $900

the running of the heating apparatus
is being gotten down In such a line I‘X
tent that only about half as much coal
as formerly is being used.
Shoveling the Snow.

lli‘. Kendall suld, further. that he told
the janitor that he would put the mat.
for up to the board and he would have
to abide by the decision.

Reverting to the snow shoveling.
Mr. Rider wanted to know where any
extra money would come from.
Mr. Bodwcll relllarkeddllnt jallitors
usually look out for snow and the high
school janitor should have taken this
into consideration when he took the
job.
Mr. Keith said there is no extra
money this your and for, this year it
appeared that he would have to get
along as well as he could.
More Money Needed.
Mr. Rider called the attention of
the board to the fact. that there is only
about $700 left to buy supplies with fill
the rest ‘of the year and there are
many new books to be bought. The
length of life of the free text books
was discussed at. length and whether
they would last longer if the children
had to buy them. Ill‘, Shercr said he.

had been as great as the first year.
Mr. Rider spoke In favor of asking
for more appropriation for the rest of
the year. He did not think $700 avail-
able Would be near enough. Upon mo-
tion of Dr. Clunc the acting visitors
were directed to go before tile board
of apportionment. and ask for an extra
appropriation.
A Definite Writing System.
l‘ir. Shever gave notice that at. the
next meeting he would move the adop-
tion of a writing system for the
schools. He had found some schools
where wrltlln.r was not being taught ill
any lnit the lower grades.
OUR DIVORCE RATIO.
Headlines, based On the annual re-
port of the bureau of vital statistics
for 1907, imply that Connecticut. ill-
dulged in any orgy of divorce last
ymfifi indeed, that. the Con.
nectlcut courts last year applied the
scissors to 590 marriage ties, which Is
a slightly larger number than for any
previous twelve months.
But that tells only a part at" the
story. It is also true that the ratio of
divorces to arringes was smaller in
i007 than for any previous year. with
two exceptions. The divorce ratio ill
Connecticut has for several decades
been declining. Of course, the line has
been irregular, but its general tenden-
cy has been downward. Just see what
has taken place In thirty years. In
1877 there were 10.1 marriages to each
divorce, while in 1907, three decades
later, the number had risen to 16.3.
The fact Is that Connecticut Is one
of the very few states in which the
proportion of divorces has for years
been displaying shrinkage rather than
expansion. Nothing in last year’s fig-
ures need cause any anxiety.-—-Hart-

the fight against the elm leaf beetle.
it was written to accompany a docu.
ment published by the cxpcrilllcnt sta-

every person who owns a tree. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Sll‘l-‘By tllls nmll, ill separate
wrapper, we send you on request a
copy of Bulletin 155 of this station, on-
titled. “The Elm Lear Beetle." As this
insect was very destructive ill your
section and in Dthcr‘portlons of the
state in 1908, It is important that
remedial action be taken by individu-
als all communities In order to pro-
scrvc I e trees.
It is Important to destroy hibernat-
ing beetles wherever found in belfrlcs.
attics or stables, and”these .often ap-
pear lll great numbers during the
warm days of early gfirlng, when they
are trying to escape- to the open air.
All trees that Were badly defollated ill
.1008 should be sprayed with poison in
1909. berunso two complete defolia.
lions, one following the other, will
often kill a tree.
Now is the proper time to make
