”HEN Till: FAMILY [INDS THE
NATION DIES.
Periodically we are greatly dil-
lnrbed by the news that marriages
are falling off and that divorces are
m1 the increase. And then on the.
lads of this llt'“‘S there comes num-
Qrous declarations as to how serious
this evil is. and even more numerous
'mxggestions :-s to how it may he
speedily checked. M
No intelligent man or wdlnan who
“will give any thought to the problem
fiweds to be told how serious it is.
. n menaccs practically everything we
Kiri-Id dear in our social order. It
finches not only the lives of those
‘Litlmediatt-ly implicated; it involves
m. It means that
finndamental to our
and happiness we are
:35 we ought to.
Nor will any intelligent man or
woman close his car to any of the
1nanny suggestions which will prcscnt-
Ky be given as to how the solution of
this problem must be approached to
he effective. “'0 shall be told that
’1: ought to be made more difficult to
and married. and less easy to get 31
fivorce. \‘Ve shall be told that the
.mblcm is not merely an economic
vane, although it is that too in part:
my will say that it is individual in
:so far as anything can be individual;
and they will tell us that it is also’a
sleial problem.
In the meantime there are
who have given much thought not
merely to the present situation. but
the the historical aspect of it also. and
in something
social welfare
not succeeding
those
.. Elie conclusions of these thinkers-
my be worthy of consideration.
They tell us that the family is the
finale unit of civilization: that where
my community or nation has clung
vb this basic family unit. its progress
has not been endangered. and where
the integrity of the family unit was
milcd. there decay was Inevitable.
J The historical significance may be
clear to everyone: but more clear
«on than that is the logic of it. It is
Inithin this little group that the
Heals are developed which are so
necessary to human progress and
germanence: and it is through this
group that these ideals are main-
lhrned. “'hcn for any reason the in-
tegrity of this group is threatened
we are told. then all civilization is
I. threatened. for. it can not be too
finger-uteri. the family is the. unit
WiCiticwhol ~ ’

In proportion as we can bring our-
mlves to realize the importance of
fins fact: in proportion as we can
heep out the theories of this or that
in fads of one kind or another from
our thinking about the famllv.
..flha.t proportion we may avert the
than ger of which the increase of di-
me and decrease of marriages is
my a symptom. Whatever can be
he in the home or by any other ed-
mtive influence outside of t he
hue, to keep before us the fact that
in
act the outlook is a dark one. this is
‘m-th doing. No nation can con-
tinue to be great. except its greatness

Marcus _\. nite. head of the state nor-
mal schot. of New Britain. at u hear-
ing inyi‘lgu'ti‘ord before the legislative
committee on appropriations last

urged": '_. s. wral educators.
“Not ing- except to thank God

Mr. \Vhitc. '
Principal Ames of the Brown'
school told the committee that there
was no' other agency in the country
doing as much real Americanization
work in the public schools. He said
that when the 300.000 yhool chil-
dren of Connecticut enter the
schools next fall they will find the
buildings clean. the numerous school
supplies ready and every material
detail attended to with greatest of
care. but. that "the master spirit.
the spirit of the trained teacher.wlll
be lacking in some places. ,I fear."
The shortage of teachers. he said. :WflS
in a large measure due to the more
attractive financial offers which busi-
ness houses Were making to ~the
young women of the state.
_ President I. G. Sargent of_thc New

cently said: “It is time we teacher's.

.o whom be mad:- the novel explana-
tion.
l Additional mystery was added to
(the gruesome discovery by the fact
filial the lingers were adorned \vilh
Iwcll trimmed and delicately formed
ltLugvr-llalls. (in one of ”iv tingtrs
lwas a silver ring. on the inside of
twhich was inscribed in French thv‘
:famous slogan "Liberty. Equality. l-‘rzi-
iternity." so well known to those who
iscrved aboard in the war.
I It was evidently made from n franc
pit-0e. A. ‘ l“. doughboys used to
make them as souvenirs.
Conroy said that he was accompan-
ied by James Lynch of 1917 Main
strcct. Bridgeport, when the discovery
was made.
"Lynch told me to throw it away.
but I wrapped it up and brought it
home. He took a ring off the linger.”
Conroy told investigators.
Lynch. when located admitted that
he had been present when the womans
arm was found. and produced the ring
which was turned over to the llridge~
port police department.
He said that he and (.‘harlcs Grim-
wood of 5:7 Fairllcld avenue had
bought the place from Kulke after
some lawsuit over horses. and that it
had been unoccupied for a period of
about six weeks.
Co'nroy added to his statement that
in the shed where the arm had been
found was a considerable quantity of
rubbish. and the flooring in one corner
of the building near where the arm
was found had recently been torn up.
Sheriff \Villlam H. Gould of Fair—
field Saturday night located Kulke at
lodging on the Post Road. Kulke for-
mchy was proprietor of the “Bridge
IHouse." as the Ash Creek Inn was
known. He denied any further know-
ledge of tin arm than having seen it
in the possession of a man named
Wallace “'ilmot. whom Kulke said
had worked for him during the past
two years. He thought \Vilmot might
be found in llridgt-port.
Kulkc said that he had questioned
\Vllmot about the arm some time ago.
and when he said that “it had come
from France." he though no more of
it.
IT is recalled by the authorities of
lPairbeld and of \Vcstport that tvio or
three years ago the vicinity of the
Elm Tree Inn was disturbed at ~mid-
night by the piercing cries of a wo-
man‘s voice. who cried for help.nnd
'shoulerl “murder." Many of the resi-
ldents searched the fields. and the
authorities later made inquiry but dis—
covered nothing tangible. ' 1
Persons who viewed the gaunt arm.
the tendons of which were someWhat
dried and smelled strongly of li‘me.
said that it was in such condition
that full determination of the date of
death could not be approximated. “"
Kulke told Sheriff Gould that he.
did not recall havingseen the silver
ring ’upon the finger. He expressed
a deep conviction that no foul play
had been committed upon the [arm
while ”it was in his possession.
The police at a late hour last night.~
were busily engaged in following. up
the. local clues to the mystery} but
said that it rested with the Westport
officials to fully clear up the case as it
was Within their jurisdiction. ‘
