GERMANY TOOK THE LEAD

In PIedging the Powers OF Europe to
Maintain Absolute Neutrality.
Berlin, April Let is learned from
an authentic source that Germany took
lead in pledging the continental powers
to maintain absolute neutrality in case
of war between the United States and
Spain. The greatest resistance offered
to Germans proposals was from France
and Austria, who acquiesced only with
the proviso that Europe is to have
something to say towards the end, or
after. in settling the peace conditions.

The Empire of the south.

The wonderful progress which the South has been making in all lines of industrial, commercial and intellectual development has been most fittingly set forth in magnificent volume, which, after months of careful preparation, has just been issued by the Southern railway.
 This book, the title of which, "The Empire of the South" conveys an idea of it's character, is beyond question one of the most comprehensive and at the same time artistic publications ever is- sued from the press. It contains nearly two hundred octave pages, over four hundred exquisitely printed illustra- tions, and makes presentation of Southern interests in all lines of human activity, which for thoroughness of treatment has never been approached.
 The opening chapter of the book un- der the caption of "The South, Yester- day. To-day and Tomorrow" discusses in broad and forcible manner the present and future of the Southern States, treating at considerable length the various interests, such as agricult- ure, cotton, tobacco iron, coal, resorts, climate, etc. Following this are chap ters devoted to each of the States south of the Ohio and Potomac, and east of the Mississippi rivers
 These give brief, interesting sketch of the early history of each State and then touch upon all it's important &C., tivities, showing the progress being made not only by the State itself, but by the leading cities.
 The author of the work, MT. Frank Presbrey, Is a close student of south ern progress, and in the collection and preparation of the immense amount of important information given in the book, has had the cooperation of the officials of the Southern railway. The distribution of this magnificent volume will do an incalculable amount of prac- tical good in calling the attention of the world to the South, and the Southern railway has demonstrated it's faith in the future of that section by the expen- dfture of many thousands of dollars which this great work must have cost Those who are fortunate enough to re- ceive a copy of this edition de luxe, which Is sent with the compliments of the company will prize it as a most valuable addition to their library.

system, and decrease in the number of officials, which consolidation would bring about; where one set of officials would do the work formerly done by several sets would reduce expenses still further. As matter of fact there has been marked decrease in the running expenses of the Meriden schools since the change was made there to the town system and this has been the general experience.
 The particular advantage in Walling- ford would be the providing the outly- ing districts with all the educational advantages that the Central district now has, and this at very slight ex- pense; a decrease of the taxation of the Central district, due to the bearing by the rest of the town of part of the ex- pense for teachers and supplies, and for the High school In return for the ad- vantages mentioned above. The distri- button of taxation would be fair. For, since the denser population is always the heavier taxed, each part of the town would pay only for what it re- ceives. The district lines would simply become lines of attendance. Town management would not necessarily mean the bringing together of different district schools into one. The town committee would have no greater pow CT in the matter than the board of school visitors now has, for the board of school visitors can, If it sees wise, unite the schools of any two districts it l chooses. Each district would be re- sponsible for it's previous debts unless the town should vote to assume them, and it would be paid by the town for such school property as it delivered up to the town.
 Nearly all the schools in the country outside of Connecticut are managed by the towns, and this has been found the | best system to promote a progressive development of the schools. Many 1 years ago Connecticut schools were among the best in the country. There Is no reason why they should not be so ] to-day. That they are not so Is because we are not alive to the present needs of l our schools as the citizens of those | places whose schools now lead the | country, and as our forefathers were
 when they planned the district system which fulfilled so well the purpose for which it was planned. The first step in restoring our schools to their former prestige is in the adoption of a system of town management as it has been de- veloped by the experience of successful schools during the last thirty years, and it is expected that the voters of Wal lingford will have an opportunity to ex- press their choice at the coming town election.

WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
OBLEBRATION OF OPENING. OF NEW
 STATE ROAD IN NORTH HAVEN.

Parade and Bicycle Wallace Hose cOmpany'a Masquerade- Many Trees Blown Down by Saturdays Wind Other Fresh Borough Items.
 Quite number from here attended the celebration of the opening of the new state road in North Haven, Satur- day afternoon. Although the weather was quite chilly there was quite g. crowd present to witness the cere- monies, which were quite interesting, consisting of parade, bicycle races and ball game between the North Haven team and the Quicksteps of Wallingford. The parade was quite an affair, with decorated wagons, bicycles and other conveyances. The first bicy- cle race was a half mile event and was won by a boy named Kegwin in 1:55. There were four starters in the five mile race, which was won by George Leete in 153S, Richard Pierpont second, 1545, Arthur Thorpe third 16:10. Ar thur Drinkwine came in last
 IuC SSCOllu lNe lIlllS ItICS NdS WOll by Henry Kale in 14:46, Leslie Munson 15:O9. Lawrence Bruce Jr., did not fin- ish.
 The next event was five mile con- test between Henry Kale and George Leete, the winners of the previous races, which was won by Kale in 14:45. Leete was only seven seconds behind. One of the amusing features was an 1mpromptu race between the veteran, Lieutenant Solomon T. Linsley on foot and Dr. Goodyear on his bicycle. The distance was about seventy-five yards and return and was won by Lieutenant Linsley, who got the best of the start and the turn and came in several feet ahead. The ball game on the green re- suited in favor of the Wallingford team by a score of Il to 6.
 The auction sale of building lots on Quinnipiac street Saturday resulted in the disposal of several lots just west of the cottage schoolhouse to an out of town person named Holmes for $650 a foot
 The Atkinson Comedy company with ''Pecks Bad Boy' will be the attraction at the opera house this evening.
 The Wallace Hose company will give a masquerade in the armory October 2S
 Saturdays high wind played havoc with the trees about this section and broken limbs were plentiful about the streets.
 The sudden drop of the mercury Sat urday was almost unprecedented, and the change of clothing from linen dus- ters to overcoats occurred within a brief space of time.
 Mrs. G. Fred Hull is home from a visit in Chicago.
 The store in Thomas Pickford's building, formerly used as drug store, is being made over into tenements.
 The grand list of the central school district, just completed, shows total of $3,041, ,195, being an increase of $179,- 526 over last year.
