ing. - -,.

The talk of dicipline in tho Nor-
walk High school can hardly apply
to the grammar schools. especially
the Center Junior High school.
where in one class seventy pupils.
with more expected next week. are
crowded into one room. which has
desks for only forty. This school, un-
like the majority of the other
schools. has received no extra
chairs. so that while this particular
class is in session. two students are
forced to occupy the same desk. Thu
seventy cn'rolled now overtaxcs the
seating capacity of the. room, where
the. balance of the students. who will
entcP next week. will await seating
is a problem that Principal Standish
must solve. Possibly he may be able
to use the window sills.
To expect a. teacher to maintain
discipline over a room where there
are so many pupils is asking much
of that teacher.
This term 603 students registered
at Center school and they have been
segregated into classes ranging from
50 up. While two or three classes.
which rightly should be housed in
this building.'have been sent to Jet.
ferson. Over River and North Cen-
ter schools. .
The whole aspect of the Center
school is alluring. The grotesque old
building. set at the end of what cas-
ual passers-by might judge to be a.
vacant lot. is in need of repairs and
this. in spite of the fact that the
steps were repainted this summer.
The baseball diamond in the front
yard adds nothing to the beauty of
the grounds. which are unsightly.
What Norwalk really needs is an
“angel." who will provide grounds
around the Center school and make
them into a play yard for the chil-
dren.

Urge Rehabilitation
of N. E. Railroads
HARTFORD. Sept. 6.—Ilchabili-
tatlon of railroads in New England
and opposition to joining them with
lines west of the Hudson river were
urged at a meeting of the Hartford
County Manufacturers' association
last evening after a. full discussion
and a. statement had been made
about the report given to the gov-
ernors of New England states by the
Joint Committee appointed by gov.
crnors two years ago to investigate
the rail situation. This statement
was made by George S. Stevenson,
of the committee appointed then by
Governor Lake.
Mr. Stevenson termed the-report a
bill of rights for the New England
business man and the starting point
for constructive action by ‘ New
Egland. which must control its own
destinies. especially its own rail-
roads.

Dr. 'David Spence. general mans-
gcr. when seen on the subject. ad-
mitted that there was a lull in pru
auction. not only in his factory. but
in every automobile factory in the
country.
“Not. only is the automobile in-
dustry at a low ebb." Dr. Spenc.
said. "but every industry in the coun-
try is experiencing a. slowing up. \Ve.
always anticipate a. slump at this
season of the year. Our best season
is during the months of May. June
and July and it is but natural that
they should be. for during this
period machines are most in use.
“The rubber factories in the west
have in many instances .cs out thou-
not as busy at last year.
very favorably with the sales for
same month last. year.
"The outlook for September is
very encouraging. \‘Vo do not look for
a. boom. in fact. we do no: court
such a thing. \Ve endeavor to run
out plant on a normal plan. Du as
the summer months we usuallygut
on cxdrn help and during the winter
we keep our regular force, which (8
about 300. busy on orders for spring
sales.
"\Vhen a. slump comes. people are
prone to regard it in too pessimistic
a. gilt. \V‘hat they should do. is to
10 at it sanely.
“Because the automobile and oth-
er industries have slowed up. at this
season it is no indication that we are
in for a, business depression. such as
was faced after the war. Judging
from our sales book. we will be kept
busy this winter and if the orders
continue to pile up, during the ht!-
anec of the month, as they have for
these first few days. why then we
shall be as busy as we were when
every industry was at. its peak.

is felt by leading citizens that such
