CONNECTICUT'S GAIN
' i
Connecticut’s growth between 1900
land 1910 has been surprisingly rapid. as
the figures lust given out by the feder-
al census bureau show. states The
New York Tribune today. It is abusy
comnlonwauith. with many active mun-
ufacturing centres wliose demand for
labor must be met by a constantly
recruited population. The gain for the
last ten years is notable In that it. ex-
' coeds the gain both for the decade he-
; tween 1890 and 1900 and for the de-
‘1 trade betWeen 1880 and 1890. In most
j of the other eastern states the rela-
. tive decennial gain has diminished in-
. stead of increased. Thus Massachu-
. cysts, Connecticut’s larger industrial
neighbor. gained 25.0 percent. in pop
hiatiou from 1880 to 1890. 25.3 from
1890 to 1900 and only 20 per cent. from
1900 to 1910. lint Connecticut's aver-
age has increased from 10.8 per cent.
'for the 1880-1390 decade to 21.7 for
the 1890-1900 decade and 23.7 for the
decade just ended. Connecticut has
no“ great city. but many flourishing
small ones. and its growth and pros-
perity are well distributed. It is emi-
nently. a land of steady habits and
steady progress. ‘
The population in 1910 is 1,ll~i.756.
a gain of 206,336 over the 1900 total
“of 908,420. This increase would on-
title the state to an additional repre-
sentative in Congress and an addition-
bl vote in the Electoral College were
’it not‘that an extra representative was
allottod in the apportionment of 1901
on less than a full ratio. Connecticut
fihll fie seats on four full ratios and a
. mar; traction-~131.692——of another
fun "ratio~194.isc. Them In a defic-
isacgof 62,490 to be made. up, and if
the ratio is increased by 20,000. as
more probable. 162,490 of the increase
, of 206,836 will be absorbed. leaving an
I unrepresented minor fraction of 43,-.
846. Connecticut will therefore have!
to wait until I920 for a sixth rcpreseu-i
lative‘.
One effect of the census will be to
force}; rearrangement of the1 Congress
districts of the state. One member of
g (don‘t-ass is now elected at barge. and
j m3 of the four present their cts con-
slats of‘two counties. lint the discrep’
Tibetan in population are great. In 1900

held and Hartford counties now have
more than enough inhabitants to form
districts by themselves. Tolland.
Windham, New imndon and Middlesex
counties have enough for a third dis-
trict. and New Haven and Litciifield
together have about enough for two
more districts. The state has out-
growu the old plan of No counties to
a Congress district. A realignment will
disarrauge olltlcai‘ relations of long
standing and possibly embarrass the
politicians, but the growth of the state
requires an equitable redistricting
along modern lines.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Supt. Chancellor Believes Rural Dis-
tricts 8h0uld be Represented.
South Norwalk, Conn.
. October 25, 1010.
To the Editor of The Sentinel:
Dear Sirz'w'l‘hera are nine members
of the board of school visitors of the
Town of Norwalk. Of these. four rep-
resent the northern end of the town.
four the southern and one the east-
urn.
An examination of ihe school and
populatlfm statistics shows that the
distribution should be three to the
northern. one to. the eastern and five
to the southern. 1 submit these figures
to the candid consideration of the elec-
tor" of the Town of Norwalk:
Children in School.
Southern part of town .......... 2000
Northern part of town .......... 1100
Eastern part of town ............ 600
i am not making this criticism of the
existing gorryinander of the town in
respect to the school visitors In the in-
terest‘or the Union District or of the
City of South Norwalk. 1 note that, the
rural sections of the town have not
one representative on the board of visl~
tors. There should be some persons
on the board who really care about the
schools not in the Twin Cities.
There exists now one vacancy on the
board. it should be filled by -a visitor
who Is a resident of Rowayion. West
Norwalk or Brookside.
I have already called the attention of
the citizens of this town to the fact
that the Union District gets eight
thousand dollars loss per annum than
belongs to it on any fair per capila
basis I now add that if the southern
end of the town could secure its just
rights in the membership of the board
of visitors, there might be some hope
of getting that share of the town
school money to which its relative
impulatiou, of course. entitles it.
Very truly yours,

Rowdies the balloon reported seen
at Fort William last night Mr. Strat-
ton said: “If balloon it was. it must
have been a derelict. The America ll.
could not have been client with pas-
sengers as late as yesterday. Escape
of gas would have destroyed It: cur-
rylng power several days ago."
The search for the missing aero-
nauts from this point will continue
with unabated seal, howaver. Every
available avenue of news is being used
by governmentoiliciala, railroads and
the lumber companies which have men
along the border line between New On-
tario and Quebec. ,
This morning's mail brought offers
of aid from funny quarters and sauna
reports from persons who had seen
balloons. There was nothing in the
later class of communications, llOWeV-
er. that was considered worth follow-
ing up as a promising clue- as to the
whore cuts of the America. The re-
ports rom the section directly north
of Georgian Day are numerous. but
they lack essential proof that the hai-
loon sighted was the America ii. A lat»
ter from Montreal stated the writer
had seen a balloon over a suburb of
that city as late as Friday. His story.
like all others will be investigated.
but without much hope of a fruitful
result.
Major F. O'Farrell, on leave of ab-
sence from the Department of Mines.

from Fort William today. I don't see
how I can place my confidence in the
report until there is something tangi-
ble to work upon. There have been
so many of these reports."

not given up hope that Mr. Post and
Mr. llawley will either be found or
will report by telegraph that they have
