School Head in “Val-

COMPARISONS
Asks Support of New
Superintend-
ent—Declares School
Board Interferes
BRIDGEPORT, June 10,—Plesd-
ing for support for the new superin-
tendent of the Bridgeport School
system and pointing out in carefully
measured words what he considered
the weakness of the present school
administration. E. Everett Cort-
right. retiring superintendent of
schools. delivered his “valedietory”
yesterday to the rotary club of
Bridgeport. and stirred his hearers
to it storm of applause when in-
scored the "committee system" in
the Board of Education and the in-
discriminate hiring of school teach-
ers without regard to their exper-
fence.
In the picking out of elementary
school teachers Mr. Cortright point-
ed out by way of contrast that last
year the city of Worcester added 187
teachers to its system. every one
of whom had at least two years'
actual experience. in addition to nor-
mal training or college training. and
some had as much as five yours' ex-
perience. Each teacher was picked
for her particular fitness for a
specific post. ‘
In Bridgeport in the same period.
about 165 teachers were added. none
of whom had any experience and
all of whom were taken off s. list,
just as they came. without regard to
their fitness for the particular posts
that were open. '
This situation. Superintendent
Cortright said, is due to the met
that Bridgeport makes a policy of
absorbing the output of its City Nor-
mal school and in fairness the girls
are taken from the list as needed.
He recommended that. the output
or the City Normal school be limit-
ed st all times to not more than
four-fifths the requirements, of the
city for new teachers. in order to
bring new blood and fresh ideas into
the system and to give more leeway
in placing the new teachers where
their capabilities warranted.
Deplores Board's Interference
Declaring that he as much as any-
body upheld the powers of the Board
of Education. Superintendent Cort-
right. deprecated the interference of
the board with the executive func-
tions of the school system and said
that: it runlned morale.
He deplored the ides. that any
one member of the board should
make promises involving patronage
or should takeiupon himself func-
tions which ought to belong to the
board as a. whole” Under the com-
mittee system, he said. the executive
becomes the servant of a. small com-
mittee of the board instead of the
servant of the whole board, and
often the responsibility for policies
is wrongly placed upon the execu-
tive when he is only carrying out
instructions of ants committee that
conducts its affairs in the dark.
Mr. Cortright sketched the pro-
gress of the Bridgeport school sys-
tem. He pointed out the fact that
through the cooperation of motion
piéture theatre owners. some 4.000
school children are seeing educa-
tional “movies" every week without
a cent of expense to the city. These
pictures are "tied in" with the les-
sons in history. geography. litera-
ture, and so forth. In this use of
the movie ides. Bridgeport's school-
system is ahead of any city east of
the Mississippi. possibly excepting
Washington. Mr. Cortright said.
The impression that teachers have
been added or removed from the
city's list. on religious grounds is I
fist injustice to the Board of Educa-
tion, the superintendent declared.
No such motives have ever entered
into the consideration of the Board
of the Executive committee1 he in-
listed.
Approving the ides/ of religious
education conducted in connection
with the schoolh but outside of
wheel hours and only upon the elec-
tion or parents Ind pupils, Superin-
tendent Cortright predicted that be-
fore yum ms elapsed most

FACTORIES lN
' STATE SHOW
BIG INCREASE
WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 10.—
An increase of more than fifty per
cent. in t e value of all products
turned out by manufacturing estab-
lishments in the State oi’ Connecticut
during the year 1923. as compared
with 1921, was reported by the U.
S. Department of Commerce, when
it made public its 1923 census of
mlnufactures for Connecticut today.
Jumps of 54.1 Per Cent.
The year's turnout of manufactur-
ed goods in the Nutmeg state resch-
erl a. total in value. of 31.288.293.000.
it was announced, which .excceded
the 1921 aggregate of $333.14ii.°00
by 64.1 per cent.
The department states that these
figures relate to manufacturing es-
tablishments whose output, during
the year was valued at $5,000 or
more. The elimination of data. for
the smaller («inabilrthmt-nts, how-
ever. it is stated. has only a. slight
effect on tho totals.
During 1929 an average of 263.-
160 wage earners Were employed in
the factories of the State. This was
24.1, per cent. more than in 1921.
when 210.999 were employed.
'i‘otni wage payments of (‘onnccti-
cut factories in 1923 amounted to
$314,833,000, an increase of 242.4
per cent. as compared with 8221.-
12li.000 in 1921.
Measured either by the number
of wage earners involved or by the
value of products, the brass. bronze,
rapper and nonferrous alloys in-
dustry is the leading one in Con-
necticut. in this industry, the user-
age number of wsgo earners em-
ployed during the last census year
increased from 15.873 in 1921 to 23.-
ton goods industry. with 14.305
000 in 1933. the per cent. of ill-lwlirkt‘l'h in 1923. againSt 14.279 in
crease being 49.6. The value
products increased from 365.795.-
(I00 in 1921 to $184,368,000 in 19211,
the rate of increase being 119.8 per
ct‘nt.
Hardware ls Second.
Second in importance in point
of view of number of workers in-
volved was the hardware industry.
including the manufacture of locks.
builders‘ hardware, piano and organ
hardware. satldlcry and harness
hardware. vehicle hardware, etc.
This industry employed 22.237 wage
earners in 1923, as compared with
111.985 in 1921. and turned out pro-
ducts in 1923 to a total value of
$83,643,913. as against $50,277,218
in 1921.
The foundry and machine shop
industry ranked third in the State
wit hths number of workers increas-
ing from 12.120 in 1921 to 19.068
in 1923. and the value of products
from $46,144,807 to 384.386.621.
Next in importance came the cot-
of 19:1, and products valued at 861.-
967,126—9. slight docreue from the
1921 output of 832,987,202.
Rallies High Electrically.
The manufacture of electrics]
machinery. apparatus and supplies
ranked fifth among Connecticut in-
dustries. Its products totaled ’71.‘
630,348 in value in 1923, as com-
pared with 933,839.350 in 1921. And
the industry employed 14.419 work‘-
crs in 1923. and 8.403 in 1921.
Other importnnt industries in Con.
necticut worn the silk manufactur-
ing industry, with 12.404 workers.
and a. turnout of $74,614.0fl in
products for 1923: typewriters and
supplies, with 7,068 workers Ind
products valued at 516.823.8111; um.
munition. etc.. with 6.420 wage
earners and $30,095.680 in products:
