retary of the Falrfield County Tea-
chers association, at the annual meet
ing of .the organizatiom held in
Bridgeport, Saturday. C. C. Thom-
son, superintendent of the public
schools of Stratford was elected
president. Other officers chosen in-
cludes F. K. Watson of Dunbury as
vice president and Schuyler P. Wil-
liams of Plainville, treasurer.
George R. Brunjes, principal of the
Franklin Junior high school was
re-elected a member of tho execu-
tive board. 9
Dr. Harlin C. Horner, field secre-
tary of the New York State Teach-
ers' association was the principal
speaker, Dr. Hornet strongly atatck-
ed utterance of noted critics of the
school system by branding their ut-
terances as “swivel chair logic."
"I have discovered in New York
state two classes of people who are
continually hurling bricks at our
public schools." declared Dr. Hor—
ner. “These are the long-haired in-
tellectuals and the short-haired, and
sometimes hairless. men on the
street." .
The speaker first assailed a state-
ment of H. G. Wells, which ap-
peared in the American Magazine,
to the effect that no one in New
York was coming forward and stat-
ing to the stranger, “Come, let us
take you to the people's school."
This the New York state worker
answered by stating he would like
to conduct Mr. \Vells to theN‘laYing
of a. cornerstone by a. brave Ameri-
can woman in Bridgeport today."
and "that the new Bridgeport High
School and thousands of others in
thi country represented a ‘peoplo‘s
school' which Wells believes is lack—
ing.
“The lately deposed president of
Amherst college hasrassaiied my
mind withlstatements that when he
wanted a sample of excellence, Am-
erican as he 13.- he had to go to
European education for it. I should
like to take him to Russia where
centuries of illiteracy have led
them to try to lift themselves by
their bootstraps. Right here 'in this
building physics students could prove
daily that such an experiment could
not be performed successfully. He
says we have made no progress and
that the American people haven't
learned to think.
“Perhaps itw took no thinking to
produce the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the Emancipation Pro-
clamation. the Panama Canal and
the splendid school to be dedicated
in Bridgeport today. This is but one
of the bricks hurled at the American
schools by these so-called intellec-
t‘tls.
Other speakers included Alcude
Russell, assistant superintendent of
the New Haven schools, who recom-
mended that simpler methods be
uszd in teaching *arithmctio in
schools; Miss Grace R. Sterling of
Bridgeport. who outlined the grow-
ing importance of handiwork as an
adjunct to ri-mling I! the primary
grades and Allan Frances A. Hurd
of Norwalk. who spokg on the work
of the Audubon society.

WASHINGTON. May 12.—‘1‘he
revenue bill, changed considerably
by the Senate to conform to the
Democratic program was enrouto to
conference today by way of the
House. Little day in registering
formal disagreement to the changes
was in prospect in the House, which
passed the measure in accord with
a program sponsored by the.Repub-
lican organization leaders and the
next stage at the battle for party
supremacy is expected to be under
way in conference before the second
half of the week begins.
The mai nprovisions bf the bill
are in dispute between the two
branches of Congress and no less
sumed by the conferees in working
than a week is expected to be con-
out an agreement. ' Republican
leaders are counting on the House
for rejection of the undistributod

Demonstrations Held
All Over Country—
Troops Keep Parad-
ers From Embassy
MOSCOW, May 12.—Anti-Ger-
man demonstrations were held
throughout Russia yesterday. Work-
men, students and government em-
ployes paraded the streets of Mos-
cow carrying flaming banners
bearing the legends: "Don't play
with fire. Mr. Stresemann"; “The
time of Brest-Litovsk has already
passed—down with the German So-
cial Democracy," and "Hands off
the Soviet mission. Long live the
revolution."
Groups of demonstrants marched
toward the German embassy singing
revolutionary songs and shouting
protests against the. recent German
raid on the Soviet Trade Mission in
Berlin. The crowds were prevented
from approaching the embassy close-
ly by a. mounted detachment of
troops, and despite the charged at-
mosphere full order was maintain-
ed.
While these events were procee-
ing I. number of the leading So-
viet officials gathered in front of
the foreign office for the unveiling
of the monument of Vaslav Vorovs-
ky, Soviet envoy assasinated in
Switzerland Krassin paid tribute to
the slain envoy. M. Radek. voic-
ing the sentiments of the govern-
ment. said Russia was now passing
through a. period similar to last year
when Lord Curzon, then British
foreign secretary, presented his fa-
mous ultimatum which was followed
by Vorosky's assassination.
Today's demonstrations was evi-
dence that Rusia. was growing
stronger. Radek made it clear that
Russia did not intend to serve or
utimatum on Germany in conse-
quence of the Berlin raid, as Ger-
.many was not considered a serious
adversary. and it was believed the
Berlin governnynt would soon be
brought to realize by her own peo-
ple the importance of friendly re-
lations with its nearest powerful
neighbor. \
Berg'doll Says $270,000
Is Safely-Buried Here
EBERBACH, Baden, May 12. ——
"Finders, keepers," says Grover
Bergdoll. the American draft dodger,
with reference to the gold he buried
in 1917 when his game of hide and
seek with the United States authod:
ities began. All told, says Bergdoll,
who has made his home here for the
last four years. there were exactly
$270,000 in nice shiny ten dollar
gold pieces. Bergdoll declares the
gold is buried in the United States.
but that-is all he will say about it.
"If I should die." he remarked
recently. ”the gold will never be
found. That’s how securely it is
hidden: No one was with me when
I put it away and no one will ever
find it until I go for it myself.”
He realizes that he has lost a. for-
tune in interest, but, he added, “it's-
worth a. great deal—-—especially to me
—to have a. lot at cash which I can
put my hands on when I'want to. if
' I ever get back to the states."

BERLIN, May 12.—Fightlng as a.
sequel to the Monarchist demonstra-
tion at Halle is reported from the
nearby town of Boelleberg, where
eleven Communists are said to have
been killed and a. number wounded.
Hallo is known as the center oi
German Communism, and the Mon-
archisis seized the opportunity of-
forded by the unveiling of the res-
tored Von Moltke monument to stage
a demonstration of great magnitude.
Headed by General Ludendorfl
and a score of army and navy
leaders, 3. Fascist “army" estimated
to number 25.000 most of them
from Bavaria. the Nationalist strong
hold, marched into the city yester-
day.
It was the most impressive array
of the old military clement under
the Monarchial colors since the
world war. With the former Crown
Prince in business in Berlin. the
House of Hohenzollern was repre-
sented by prince Oscar.
The Monarchists had been warn-
ed by Dr. Hertlg, chairman of the
German Nationalist party. to forego
needless provocation and the un-
veiling ceremony. the speeches and
the parading passed off without in-
cident before 150,000 spectators. The
only approach to violence in or
about Hallo proper reported in des-
patches received here was a. clash
between police and Commists on the
outskirts of the city. A policeman
was killed and fife were seriously
wounded by s , s.

after which he intended to join his
