EDWIN HALLoCK

At the head of the old and reliable hardware firm of F. Hallock & Co.,, is Edwin HallocL, one of the leading cit izens and business men of the NaugatucE Valley. He is a son of the late ZopAan- iah HaIlock, who figured prominent y in
 the early anti-s of the town of Darby and who came here from Stony Brook, l.. |, in l8lC, and engaged in the ship building business with his brother nea- the dam of the Ousatouic Water Go. He also traces his antecedcnts back t.
 the early settlement of Long Island.
 Peter Hallock, one of the l3 PU
 grim fathers, landed in New Haven
 in I74O, and afterwards located on the part of Long Island since know as Ha'
 locks Neck. The grandfather ano great-grandfather of Edwin HalIock als, served in the Revolution.
 The subject of this sketch was born il. Derby, August lG, l84O, and received his education in the local public schools.
 He formed habits of industry and thrift, and at 25 became a partner with his brother, the late Franklin Hal
 lock, in 8 large hardware firm of which he is now at the head. Upon purchas- ing an interest in the business the firms name was changed from that of Downs, Sanford & Co.,, to F. Hallock & Co.,, under which name it has since been con tinued. The business of the firm is probably the second largest in the hard ware line in the state, and the trade con- trolled embraces the territory within a radius of several miles of Derby. MT Hallock Is known as one of the most re- liable of business men, and has never sought nor accepted public office. His large business connections make him one of the most active of merchants, and the large store in which he is inter ested has shown the results of good He is a member of the Derby and Shelton Board of Trade and Is ever alert to promote the interests of his business and tho locality in which he raaidea

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Supposing that school business, like &ny other public business, should be done OH sound business principles; what would some of the effects be upon the schools of this Jowr? The total expense of our schools, last year. according to school report, was $8,l30,00. The actu- a expense to the town was SC 0GG.2I. Of the bal aaca, $i,5Gl.50 was received from the state and 85O3.50 was received from the town deposit fund,
 The money of the tax payer is levied and set apart for certain purpose; the sCato fund is to be used only toward a definite end; it is the duty of the Board of school Visitors to administer the schools according to the laws of the ate.
 Let the interested citizen take a copy of the last report of our public schools, if he can fad one, and study it, and see what he can learn from 1t. How was the B, ,l30 go spent? And what were the re- suits? When he has found our just what was done with the school money, last year, let him rutn his attention to how the schools are being run this year. 
 Last June, when the appropriations were made, I suggested that in the ease of certain districts which might be large ly affected by the parochial schools, the amount voted should be limited to the first term of school.
 The argument, which prevailed then was that the Board had power to close schools and so regulate that matter. When the question came up later the ar- gument was that the teachers having been hired for the year they could collect their wages for the whole time and there fore it would be of no use to close any school, this year.
 It is now a very interesting question how this matter will work for next year? Shall the hiring of the teacher settle the matter of making the appropriations and continuing the schools, which on sound | business principles ought to be closed? Or shall the Board reduce the-number of schools as provided by law and so regu- late the matter of appropriations?
 Last term the school in the North Gen. terdistrict averaged 8. little oyer6. Make it '. The appropriation is. $425. The cost per capita for average attendance was at the rate of sGo.71 per year.
 At the Middle school the average at tendance waskless thanl eight. Call it eight and the cost per capita, the appro- priation being s425, is $58.11.
