Appreciation for the

Teachers

The closing of the school year
will be an appropriate time to say
something in regard .to.the work
of the teachers. This is a form
of effort which is never fully
compensated. _ .

A town may get along if its
business services are not fully up-
to-date. and it may be a very
good place to live in for all that.
But if the teaching work is not
well done, or if the teachers fail
to inspire the young people With
high purposes. a severe blow is
struck to the future of that com-
munity. The young people will
take up the tasks of life With
poorly trained minds. With no \‘l-
sion of idealism. and that town
will drag behind, commercmlly,
intellectually and spiritually.

Teachers have a strenuous task.
It looks soft to some, who think
of their Saturday holidays and
long vacations. But to control a
room full of unruly children.
many of whom have never learned
to obey any authority at homenis
a task of intense nervous strain.
A good many girls have broken
down under it. A few months of
that kind of life kept them keyed
up every minute and they had_ to
give it, up for some task calling
for less force of personality.

The girl who is maintaining
good order and devotion to work
among these restless young peo-
ple is performing a task of large
achievement. She must put vital
force into it. It is characteristic
of the great majority of teachers,
that they are not people who
Work just for the more money
they draw, but the satisfaction of
guiding and inspiring these young
lives is a large share of the com-
pcnsation.

The parents owe a big debt, to
all these workers who are toiling
in this difficult field. They
should express it by kind words
0f nppl‘f’t‘lflllfill and generous so-
cial rm‘Ml’nition. and as much
mono." as a city of the size of
Norwalk can afford to spend.

Freedom of Press

Supreme Court Justice Marcus
in an important decision ~just ren-
dered at -Buflalo denied the ap-
plication of the Corporation Coun-
sel for an order directing the is-
suance of subpoenas to three men
on the stafl of The Bufl‘alo Eve-
ning News orlering them to show
why thew shoull not appear be-
fore the Mayor re arding articles
concerning allege vice conditions
appearing in the paper several
months ago. -

In his decision, Justice Marcus
said in part: “I am strongly im—
pressed with the view that it

‘would be unwise to heckle and
annoy the press. If every article
subjected them to an examina-
tion that would harass and annoy
whenever the subject matter was
unpleasant by way of criticism
of omcials, the public would lose
much even recognizing the license
aftimcs used."

.Justice Marcus, in formulating
his decision, took into account
that fundamental right of free~
dom of the press. The same issue
has been fought and refought. and
undoubtedly will come again and
again. The result has been and
will be always the some.

The press stands in somewhat
the same position as the priest,
the lawyer and the doctor. Matters
are confided to all of them to be
used with proper descretion end
in order to obtain desired results.
If the press was forced to make
public the sources of its informa-
tion in every case, when a public
omcial believed he had a griev-
ence, the wells of news soon
would be dried up and the
public would enter because a ne-
cessary corrective force would be
removed from public life.

To Justice Marcus, the press
owes e vote of thanks for the“

and forceful manner with

NEW YORK. June IL—Trefnc is
supposed to be better regubted in
New York" than anywhere else in the
world. Any New Yorker will tell you
so. pointing with pridepartlcularly to
the nice bronze towers. costing 830.-
000 apiece. that dot Fifth avenue and
cause traffic to halt at precisely the
same moment all the way from Wash-
ington Sudan to Central Park.

Everywhere in New York the tref-_
fic policeman is the law for ever?-
thing on wheels—with one exception.

It isn't a taxi. or a wagon. or a
carriage. or a pushcart. or a wheel-
barrow. It hasn't been classified. it
hasn't even a name. It is pushed at
times. and as often it is pulled. There
are three little iron wheels. two firm
ones and one which acts as a rudder.
The body. which is only a few inches
of! the ground. is e. box and there is
e. superstructure of rods which sup.
port a rack on whichvdreuee and
coats and suits are suspended on
bangers.

Young men and old men. chauf-
feurs of these conveyors. push and
pull them with e thundering rumble
through the streets. There are hun-
dreds of them to be seen anywhere
between 14th and 40th streets and
Fourth and Seventh avenues. dodg-
ing in and out among taxis. colliding
with pedestrians and ignoring the
traffic rules generally. It is one leg
of the Journey miledy'a clothes must
take between manufacturer and bar-
gain counter.

Price of amusement is going up.
East Side youngsters who used to
celebrate summer by giving diving ex-
hibitions in the fountain of City Hall
park for a cent or two now refuse to
duck under in any perk fountain in

town for less than a nic 1. But
there's always somebody in t hurry—
ing crowde——never hurrying so fast

that they can't stop a while to watch
kids splashing in the water—willing
to toss in a nickel to see the aquatic
scramble. “'hen a cop swings into
sight the diving ends suddenly. with
dripping urchins streaking down the
street.

s e e
Washington Square is being ro-
cleimed. Remnants of the glory of e

couple of decades ago .when it housed
the city's elite. have been maintained
by a. few old families clinging to his-
toric homes.

Now a block of old residences. on
the northwest corner of Fifth avenue
and Washington Square north. has
been turned into an apartment house.
with rentals staggering enough to at-
tract people with limousine incomes.
In the. rear is a flower garden. with e
tlnkling fountain—end a one-time-
stable that has been magically turned
into two duplex apartments. one
renting for a trifling 87,000 a year
and the other for 85,000.

If you have the price you can sleep
right where the homes of some proud

Knickerbocker used to have their
stalls. ‘

Sundays the ferries and roads lead-

State Comment

. Saving the Shad.
(New London Day.) '

it has been announced by Superin-
tendent John '1‘. Titcomb. superintend-
ent of the state board of fisheries and
game. that there will be no extension
of the open shad season beyond the
20th. The reason for' this decision
is the desire of the board that late
shad have a chance to reach the
spawning grounds and thus add to
the supply of fish in state waters.
Saving the shed in Connecticut is a
difficult problem. apparently. The
Connecticut river some years ago fur-
nished all of that kind of fish that
was needed to supply the demand.
Now the new fishermen who engage
in catching shad hardly get enough

 

l

their gear to make it worth while.

The state board has secured half a
million shad eggs which ought to help
some on the supply of fish but in the
opinion of those who are familiar with
river conditions there is small chance
of the shed surviving the pollution
that is connected with the growth of
manufacturing along the rivers.

Shad is a great delicacy and the
Connecticut shed is as fine a fish of
that kind as can be produced any-
where in the country. It is unfortun-
ate that such an ettractlve article of
food should be threatened with de-
etruction. but. the conditions are not
calculated to encourage a return to
the propagation in great numbers. ‘

The state board of fisheries and
game is doing its best to save lire
shad and as a result regulations are
made that sometimes seem burden-
some to the fishermen. but unless
something is done there will be no
fish to catch.

 

True to Form.
(New Haven Register.)

The report that the Mark Twain
house in Hartford was to be torn
down to make one of those colossal
and unhomelike apartment structures
which stand as monuments along the
highway to Farmington turn out. like
early reports of. the great humoriet's
death. to have been “greatly exagger-
ated." it has not. however. become
the property of the public. nor is it to
be preserved as a shrine. It. apparent-
ly is to be preserved as a joke. which.
it. must be confessed. seems more ap-
propriate.

The Mark Twain house is being
kept true to form: we should be
thankful for that. Any time the
American public. or the Connecticut
public. or. any literary or artistic
body. attains to Prof. James Karvey
Robinson's conception of Mark
Twain as one of the seven greatest
Americans. and sees fit to finance the

urchese of this house. they cab get
and restore it. It will. then be
necessary 5 only to transport those
“portable apartments" to some other
location and lot in the old ' atmos-
phere. We suspect‘ that if hierk
Twain were hero—and perhaps he is
in spirit—he would have a good laugh
at the performance which is being
performed.

most scientific knowledge.

Bridgeport has schools which for
the most part are excellent. The fire
risk is comparatively small. Even
schools like the Grand and Prospect
schools are equipped with fire-escapee.
The' lighting in most Bridgeport
schools is good and the ventilation is
good.

There are schoolgirl which access
to the fire escapee could be made
more convenient. Firs risk could be
reduced by equipping basements and
boiler rooms wth sprinkling systems.

Naturally, after you have invested a substantial

sum in your new linoleum, you want it properly in-
stalled—so that the seams will match perfectly, the
edges fit snug and tight, and the floor never bulge or
buckle. Laying, you can see, is no simple task.
. If you want your linoleum to be a permanent,
handsome floor, you will find it very much to your
advantage to have the work done by our skilled, ex-
perienced workmen. Our charges are reasonable;
they include cost of materials and labor, and we
guarantee a satisfactory job.
