In Winnipauk Obsolete, Inadequate
Says Children Are Not Warmed By Stoves,
Merely Kept From Freezing
Coujrflman Michael J. Riordan
today branded the Winnipauk
school an obsolete.
“The school ls’obsoiete; behind
the times.” said Councilman Rior—
dan.
“The school should be ixhproved.
or a new school constructed in the
district," went on the uptown coun-
cil member. “The district is entitl-
ed to better school conditions.‘

”rho children aren't supposed to
keep warm by the stoves: they are
simply kept Iroxn freezing. I re-
member some time ago, a group of
people from the West Somali:
school appeared before the Board
of Education and asked that the
school be repaired. At. that time.
this delegation expressed this same
idea; stoves only keep the students
from treezing to death."
the children had to use out-houses.
He declared that this should be re-
medied and that the peopled the
district were entitled to improve~
ments to the school inasmuch as
they pay taxes for school purposes
like the rest of property owners in
the city.

The three French columns nowin

required to take a psychological test
before the license is granted.
“I read a story the other day in a.
newspaper in which it stated new
.people had been killed and over
150.0“) injured by automobiles in a
year." said Mr. Smith. "The sale of
intoxicnnts never caused any such
havoc as this."
“In my opinion the personal equa-
tion should enter into the granting
of operators licenses. In other
words. the State should give psycho—
logical tests which would indicate
that the mind and muscles at appli-
cant act together practically instan-
taneously.
”There are people today holding
operaiors' licentes who have the
power of thought. but whose mind
cannot control their“ muscles with-
out some time *elapdng. They say
operating an automobile becomes an.
tomatic. It’may with some. but not
with all. In the army, psychological
tests are given to men desiring to
operate an aeroplane. it a man calls
to pass the test. he is not. allowed to
fly. This same idea should be adopt-
ed by the State for licensing auto—
mobilists.

This was decided at a. meeting of
the Board of Education held last
night in the High School.
The wbjeet was introduced by
Alexander J. Rummler. chairman o!
the special committee. appointed
to: the. purpose 'of investigating
this_ matter. -
Mr. Rummier presented a,plan
whereby the auditofiurn will be di-
n‘ded into three 2111534001115. Move-
abie partitions will be used in cut-
ting up the auditorium.
’ The mp ofthese partitions will be
permanent. The lower sections.
however, will be so arranged that
they can be pushed up against the
sidewalls out of the way.
Superintendent of Schools George
V. Buchanan said it would be poa-
sihie to view" the stage of the audi-
torium under the proposed arrange-
ments. but he was fearful that the
permanent part or the partitions-
would interiere with the acoustics of
the hall.
The matter was referred back to
