AOAINIT CREATION OF FLOATING
PARK.
Editor of The Sentinel:
i was much interested in the editor-
ials of The Sentinel on Wednesdsy
a a Thursday in relatiou to the new
br dge. it surely mine a foolhardl
undertaking at this time and under
the existing circumstances to appro-
priate four or five hundred thousand
dollars for a concrete bridge. especial
iy on the present site. which is en-
tsugled by litigation. and before it is
settled undoubtedly will cost nearly
hall enough to build a proper bridge.
in the proper place. and it seems equal-
ly aI abburd to create a floating park.
right at a point where the space might
be used for building purposes. to a
good advantage. for dookage'roon
which will be needed if the town es-
ts to expand or grow, at least in a
usiness sense. and its interests will
have to increase in this particular if
an improvement (or dislmprovement
by a majority of people) of this charac-
ter is made.
When the park in connection with
the bridge, If It Is to be "a thing oi
beauty and a joy forever." Why not
build it farther out on the attend by the
light house for instance. where the
mariners passing up and down the
sound can enjoy its beauty. it would
seem. except to those who have this
matter under consideration; that this
park is to be a great sort of an auto
matic bathing resort. By extending the
trolley service down into the park the
people could dress in their bathing
suits. ride to the park. wait until the
tide arose. take their bath and return
home without the trouble of alighting
from a car. or changing their wearing
‘lparel.
The people of Norwailr are upto-
date in scheming. This has been evi.
danced by the recent doingl of the
Norwaik city council. It would seem
that it is about time that the away
are woke.up to the present condition
of affairs.
At the present rating the people
who live in the cities have their prop-

To the Editor of The Evening Bentl-
nei, South Norwallt. Conn. I
From an article which appesred in
a recent issue of your psper referrinl
to certain rumors relative to Mrs.
Eddy, it seems apparent that there re»
mains an uncertainty among some in l
dividuais as to the source of these'
claim and also that there may be
those ,who have not yet read the fol-
lowing which is taken from a Boston
despatcb in which Alfred Farlow. of
Boston. replied to certain remarksl
upon the same subiect made by Rabbi
Charles Fleischer, of Boston.
“Evidently the rabbi has been
caught napping. for it is not "certain
Christian Scientlus.’ who are upset-
in the return of Mrs. Eddy to this
world. but certain persons who have
been expelled from the Christian Bol-
once Church for advocating. in the
name of Christian Science. certain
teachings which appear to constitute
the basis for the belief which the rabbi
criticises. if the gentleman had kept
up with the times. he would have
found public denunciation of the “irra-
tional supernaturelism' which he ques-
tions if the gentleman deems It his
sacred duty to quote the Christian
Scientists. we would suggest that he
keep himself better informed. int he
should speak at the wrong time. it
is in bad taste. to say the least to
scold the people under one' a charge at
the wrong time. notably on more as-
sumption. it is dillicuit to know what
the gentleman means by "doings cloth-
ed in mystery: and ‘movements
shrouded in secrech Like all other
religious denominations. the Christian
Science Church makes its public af-
fairs knewn to the public. and keeps
its private ailsirs to itself We agree
with the rabbi that 'it is a curious hu-
man trail that will allow us to see the
folly of the other fellow I doing when
he is behaving quite as well as we
are.”

(Continued from first page.) .
The morning session was devoted
to the discussion of two questions. Of
these. the brat was the relation of the
high school to the college above it. to
the elementary school below it. and to
the community around It. The general
opinion was that the high school had
been too much under the domination
of the college. and that in consequence
it had not been sufliciently useful to
the community- it was also the com
mon opinion that the high school
should not Imitate the college in be-
ing dictatorial to the elementary
ch001.
The second question was whether
the schools of Connectch are pro-
gressing. On this, opinion was divid-
ed. The decline of the towns was
evidenced by the establishment of

board of education to control and ill
