Editorial Ink Drops. VIEWPOINT AS A SUMMER RE-
 SORT.

The promise for lively sum- MODEL mer season in Newtown is ex- SUMMER ceedingly bright, and the out RESORT look is that our excellent hotels will be crowded, There is no more de- lightful town for summers sojourn in all Connecticut. It has many advantages over Litchfield, or the Berkshire Hills country, in that it is not too far from New York. There is no other town in this section that has more natural advan- tages in the way of scenery and drives. As place for permanent summer resi- dence, Newtown has many attractions, and number have already discovered this. Newtown's hotels have a reputa- tion for genuine hospitality which is greatly appreciated by our city cousins, who sojourn perchance but for few weeks. There are many private homes, also that open their doors to the city peo- pie, and the large number who annually return to Mt Pleasant and to other sec- tions of Newtown, testifes to the popu- larity of Newtown as a summer resort. It stands in the front rank.

THE TIDE No two subjects have provok-
 SETTING ed more comment in recent TOWARDS years than the trend of popu-
 THE lation to our great cities and COUNTRY. the poverty that finds it's home in such populations. Prof Francis G. Peabody of Harvard, who has personally studied the great social question of pov- erty in all the principal European coun- tries, combines discussion of these two subjects in most instructive article in the March Forum. He points out that one cause.-the prime cause perhaps-of poverty in the United States is the rush of people to the great centres of popula- tion. He finds remedy for poverty, therefore, In the contrary movement, that is to say, by colonization. After pointing out the efforts that have been made in Holland and in Germany and in England to colonize the unfortunate of the cities by making homes for them in the country, he shows how, to great ex- tent at least,a movement of this sort con- tains the solution of a great problem that concerns us. As matter of fact, colo nization from the city is already going on in two or three shapes. The very poor are colonizcd by being sent to institutions outside the cities. Organizations like the Children's Aid Societies are constantly removing the young from city life. At the other social extreme, people of suf- ficient means are more and more making their homes, and especially the homes for their children, in the country. Prof Peabody's study of this group of subjects combines the two very rare qualities of scientific investigation, method and ac- curacy, and the zeal of the reformer.

 WHEN WILL PUBLIC SPIRIT AROUSE?
 The annual spring crop of complaints about bad roads, dark streets and muddy walks, is being heard now at every turn, and with increased emphasis, this year. When will public spirit arouse enough to put these things into decent shape? The fine macadamized road has ''gone all to pieces" in two or three places, and unless it receives immediate attention will be utterly ruined. The selectmen are quoted as saying this is not the prop CT time to repair. In this they differ with the best authorities. Now is just the time to remedy defects, not in August or September. The neglect of this fine road during the past year has been almost criminal, and unless properly attended to soon it will be an utter loss. The side walks, too, in the center of the village are in worse condition than for years. They stand as an exhibit of the great de- cline of interest on the part of property owners. Even in the simple and mex pensive matter of street lights we see lack of public spirit. Especially notice able is this near the stores and postofiice, where the gloom and blackness of dark nights is almost impenetrable after the stores close, and their lights are extin- guished.
