Rogers. of Hamden. recently do- posed as a member of the Board of the State Farm for W’omen. in a re- ply to Governor Templeton's’ order of removal. charges the Governor with "squibbllng," with partiality. with making misleading statements. and with mlsconstrulng statements made by her. She said: "Governor Templeton entirely mis- apprehends the purpose of my list of negative votes. 1 was not attack- ing my fellow directors. but reply. ing to an attack made upon me. I purposely- made the statements as brief as possible. If their brevity made them misleading. they are less so than the Governor's fuller state- ment. , "As throwing some light on the Governor's impartiality. it is deserv- ing of notice that my supposed in- accuracy seems to him a matter of great importance. while the undis- puted fact that three “haves of a director were favorable to the super- intendent calls for no condemnation."

Jakob. principal of the Senior High school, deals. not only with the past. but with the present and future. Mr. Jakob came to Nor-walk at. the be- ginning of the school year. In his re- port. he says that when he came here he found a lack of uniformity of records and a laxuess as '10 the importance of a complete record; a spirit of indifference on the tart of pupils concerning the welfare (1' the upkeep oi the physical equipment of the school and adaoining grounds as well as a. lack of a proper attitude on what constituted their obliga- tions to the school and to themselves a..certaln amount of timldity on the part of the teachers as to how far they could go in matters of discip- line; a heterogeneous grouping of boys and girls in classroom and as- sembly; an inadaquate supply of equipment for laboratories and classroom: a housing problem which is real perplexing. Prof. Jakob goes on to tell of the installation of a ledger system for record keeping.

Continuing Prof. Jakob declards that discipline was becoming a mat- ter of less concern day by day; the teachers realizing the importance of it. He says that the boys and girls have been segregated so that all boys occupy one side of the building for home desks and the girls the other side. He tells of the lick of facility for meeting the staze re- quirement in physical education. ‘At present we employ the make- shift of two five mimte periods per day at which time we have setting- up exercises." says Prof. iakobs. “Done undbr conditions like this when it is necessary for pupils to exercise in their street clothes the entire work suffers. and instead of being beneficial is apt to prove de- trimental due to the fact that the condition of the individual ight af- ter such exercise makes him [~le69- tlble to colds.’ Prof. Jakobs declares the housing situation presented a. real problem. He states that in February with sixty additional pupils. two :.:i jltion- al home desk rooms will be needed. He writes that there will be an ,ex- cess of thirty pupils over home desk seating capacity. Next September. Prof. Jakobs says that three more rooms will be needed besides the one desired for February.

He did this. he said. because In 1902 he had advanced the woman 82.900 and subsequent demands for money were based .on the threat of publicity which would have resulted in placing an erroneous construction on his previous associations with her. In an effort to prove Mr. Sch- wab’s obligation to honor the note endorsements. which he asserts are ney for creditors of William C.

Mr. Schwab's remarks spmkled with the humor and frankness as he testified. Telling why he had arranged to have his bankers lend 810.000 to a contractor engaged in the hotel pro— ject. insQad of making the loan himself. he said: , “I did not want any note payable to myself because many people think when they owe me money that they are under no obligation to pay it." Again. explaining that he had no genuine interest in the hotel‘pro- Ject. Mr. Schwab said: .2 “A funny littlé Irishman came to me and told a hard luck story about being unable to get his money out of this enterprise. With [the impul- siveness that has got me into many a. difficulty 1 telephoned my bank- ers to lend him $10,000. Later my counsel told me I should not have done this." Expressing amazement that Mrs. Hayes could obtain $300,000 on the alleged forged notes. ,Mr. Schwab said the action of the house in ad- vancing this money without at- tempting to ascertain if the cudorce- ments were genuine. and wihtout ob- taining collateral. was a sad com- mentary upon American banking methods. Hesaid he was sure he could not obtain such a loan with- out putting up collateral.
