Hunt is Started for
Dr. SutcliiIe
HARTFORD. Nov. ill—Dr. E. m,
Ripley of Unlonvillo was removed
yesterday as medical gxaminer for
Farmington by Coroner J. Gilbert
Calhoun. Ills removal was due to
dissatisfaction with his official ac-
tion in exonerating Dr. George E.
Sutcliffe of Unionville of responsi-
bility for the death of Albert C.
Hoody, May 23 last of an overdose
of other. and his failure to notify
the coroner of the circumstances of
the case.
Announcement of the coroner's
action came after the Holden grand
jury had abruptly ended its hearings
for the week and instructed State's
Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn to take
Sutcliffe into" custody. As a teln-
gram was dispatched to Elias Hoag-
lund. chief of St. Louis police de-
tectives. that Sutcliffe was “wanted
in Connectlcut for ma'laughter."
the grand jury decided to recess un-
til Monday.
Medical Examiner Ripley and
Coroner Calhoun both testified be-
fore the grand jury yesterday. Im-
mediately after the latter had been
excused. Foreman Benedict M. Hol-
den and State's Attorney Alcorn
wcnt into conference: with Judge
William M. Maltbie of‘ the Superior
court. As Mr. Alcorn left the con-
ferfiice. he confirmed a. report that
the coroner had notified him of his
intention to white to Dr. Ripley of
his decision to declare his place va-
ant.
c Developments came rapidly during
the day presumably as a result of
evidence brought out by the grand
Jury within forty-eight hours of the
time it began its actual inquiry. In-
formed by Deputy Sheriff 0. Vinton
Benjamin that Dr. Donald W. Stew-

. wrm TEACHERS
Nearly Three Persons
Attend Meeting in
High School and
Hear Dr. Tracey and
Principal Jakob Talk
Nearly- three hundred attended
the parcnt-teachers' meeting held
lESt night at the Senior High school.
The meeting was conducted as part
of the "Education W'eck'“ campaign.
Speakers of the occasion were Dr.
William 3- Tracey, member of the
Board of Education and Philip A.
Jakob. principal of the Senior High
school. ‘
The meeting was opened by the
Norwalk Hixh school orchestra con—
ducted by Miss Mary c. McCarthy,
musk: sunervisor. rendering three
numbers. The orchestra's perform-
ance p011 hearty applause. ’
Mr. Jakobs was the first speaker.
He opened his talk with the state-
ment that few children attending the
High school know what. they are
doing or why they are in High
school.
"There is one boy. Robert Thomp-
son. who knows what he is doing.
This boy has obtained an ‘A’, a mark
equal to 95 in each of his studies.
A girl. Catherine Jackson. who lost
”"08 Peeks at the opening of the
5c11001. made this time up and won
an ‘A’ in each of her subjects. The
teachcrs are always glad to give pu-
pils a. chance to‘mako up back work.
"I wonder," continued Mr. .19..
‘kobs, "if the parents of boys and
girls who attend High school know
exactly What. it is costing them_ to
do 30? A boy or girl would have
t ovny at least $10 a week for board;
clothes would cost $2 a week;
amusements another dollar and in-
cidentals the same. It costs you 315
a wool: to keep a boy or girl a High
school. And besides this. the tax-
payers pay $100 a. year for their
education. This means that there is
$700 a year invested in each High
school student during the school
year of 40 weeks. And what is your
chil doing to repay you? If he
b gs a poor report card home is
he doing the work that. should be
accomplished ?
“We are marking under s. new,
system.’ In this system. 'A’ stands
for excelcnt work; ‘3' for good
work, 'C' for fair work. But any
pupil geting ‘E' has no right in
High school. The Rich school is
a. selected group. It is not a. mill.
You cannot pound knowledge into
the brains of students. What can
you do? You can encourage your
boy or girl. Show an interest in his
Work. If the student comes home
and says he has no homework, this
is a. mis-statcment. Practically
every student takes five subjects out
of the seven period day. This means
they have one hour to study in
school. But one hour is not enough.
A student should spend at least
three-quarters of an hour on aerh
subject. If the students would do
this. there would be a. big difference
in the quality of work turnedout.
In closing. I want to say that we are
endeavor-lug to give the High school
students an education: to give them
clean morals and to teach them how
to hink.
r. William J. Tracey. the second
speaker. opening his talk by declar-
ing that the greatest problem the
Board of Education is facing is to
educate the parens in school matters.
“You know," said Dr. Tracey. "the
first teacher is the mother. And
when the child begins to toddlo to
school, the task of edumtlng it is
divided between the mother and
teacher. The High school is the
critical point in a child's life.. It
is at this time that the profession
the child is to follow must be select.
ed. There are five courses in the
High school which may be taken: the
commercial, general. classical. scien-
tific and manual arts. Study the
child's inclinations. Any num . of
children glide through High so 001
without knowing what he or so is
there for. You have got to decide
early if you want your child to be
{suede-s.”
' At this point. Dr. Tracey explain-
ed the different courses of study at
the school which should be taken up
for the various professions . _
