White Collar Ambitions.»A
Of Young Men Floutcd by
Dr. William J. Tracey

“Too Many Third Rate Professionals. and Not Enough

That Norwalk should have
vocational training to its high

ing in practical workhor who have no definite purpose in view,

illiam J. 31"?” at the monthly meeting
A

was the plea of Dr.
st evening.

of the Norwalk board of educatio

Deplores Lure of “Profession"

The doctor decried the fact that
a large' number of the local boys
who are graduated from high
school enter college with no definite
goal and do not adapt themselves to
the line of work they should follow.

“There are too many third-rate
professionals" said Dr. Tracey. ”we
need more tradesmen."

He urged that the school board
take definite action "concerning the
“meaningless higher education" of
scores of ‘the Norwalk High school
pupils.

Dr. Tracey was told by Superin-
tendent Lund that already there was
a dean of girls at the high school
and that beginning with next fall.
the men teachers at the high school
were to work with the boys along

vocational lines. helping them to
plan for their future work. Dr.
Tracey asked that Superintendent
Lund and Principal Jakob present a.
report of the above plans at an
early meeting of the board of educa-
tion.

Dr. Tracey stated he had inter-
viewed many boys at the Norwalk
High school and they all had stated
that non one had ever asked them in
high school. what they are going to
do when they were graduated.

Said the doctor. "thegprincipals. or

' svecial' colnmittes «teachers should
talks _

have serious and individual
with the pupils and parents. That is
the place to find out what they are
going to do. All of the high school
students are looking forward to a
high hat and white collar Jobs.
Too Few Apprentices
“There are not enough apprentic~

es to Norwalk tradesmen today. In- _

stead of boys looking for white col-
lar Jobs. let them look outside to
trade. We need more skilled work.
men. We need a trade school in this
city badly. We are doing absolutely
nothing to guide boys along voca-
tional lines. We guide them in athle-
tics and amusements. We should
have a commigce to talk to the
boys and with their parents. A trade
school would be the best thing for
our children."

Mrs. George Bette stated that the
Norwalk girls should have a trade
school as well as boys. but she
praised the vocational work being
done by several of the junior high
teachers.

Superintendent Lund. also men-
tioned the prevocational work being
done in the Junior high schools.

Miss Mary G. Rider said that the
local factories would strenuously ob:
Ject to a trade school.

Opinions Differ v

Incidently Mrs. Betta stated that
contraCtors she knew. had all the
apprentice help they wanted while
Dr. Tracey stated facts just opposite.

Dr. Tracey asked that something
definite be done and Superintenr‘g-pt
Lund and Principal Jakob will make
a. report of the vocational work done
at an early meeting.

Ellsworth C. Lockwood presided
at the meeting of the board in ‘he
absence of the chairman. Dr. George
G. Fawcet‘.

.. Alex Rummler. reporting for the
buildings committee. said the new
atheltlc field in Hroad River. would
not be completed this summer. but
would be ready for football. in
October.

, The board accepted with regret
the resignation of Mrs. Florence
McKenzie. as instructor in English
and dean of girls. at the Norwalk
High school. Mrs. McKenzie has
been extended a excellent offer to
teach in the ary " (1nd.) High

- school. which is near her home.

In his report. Mr. Lund said that.
Miss Morley of the Senior High
school staff was recommended as
dean of girls. She is very popular
among the high school girls and
was willing to accept the position.
Mina Chamberland was recommend-
ed for re-appointment to the High
School stair. .

Dr. Tracey questioned the princi-
ple of outside concerns canvassing
the schools to take pictures of the
pupils, but he was assured that it
was dune outside instruction
hours last tall. and that the pic-
tures had proved a. help to the
teachers. -.

Denied By Bureau

WASHINGTON. D. C. June
The Bureau of Valuation of the In~
terststs Commerce-Cornualssion has
disputed the New. York.‘ New. Haven
and Hartford's claim to ownership
by virtue of a perpetual lease of
fifty per cent of the walue cf the

York. .

“To give to the New Haven an
‘ownership interest' in this extreme-
ly valuable property. an iinter-
est valued at ”5.490.581" the state-
ment said. "would be a clear and
strong arm taking of the property of
one carrier and giving it to another
without any compensation."

The right of the New Haven to use
the terminal jointly with the New
York Centnl under the contract of
1m. 1m and 190?. it was asserts.
was s. "traekage light.” very valuable
in itself . “but not conferring any

So As Not To Conflict
Wilbur Smith Lecture

President, Edward Barrett. of the
Norwalk Council Boy Scouls of
America. decided yesterday that he
would not call a special meeting of
the council this evening as contem-

 

plated, due to the conflict with the . '

lecture on birds to be given by \
bur Smith in the Center Junior 1
school. As the general public

well as the Scouts are invited to at .

lend the lecture. it was felt the.

members of the Scout Council woul-
also wish to avail themselves of lb 3

opportunity to hear this mighly fin
talk.

Mr. Smith stated the other day I
has over 100 pictures of bird
that he has been many years in
looting. and that it has in s
cases taken many days of p .,
waiting and watching just to s 1"
one of the pictures. .

Other communities throughout .
state have been favored with It
Smith's excellent program a. nut.
ber of times. but this is the Ill
time that the Scout Council h.
been fortunate enough to be all
to present him to Norwalkcrs.
