 Under the heading. where is the Polish School in Brooklyn?' the Rev Father Saurusaitis writes to the Demo-
  Irish or English residents of this town think if you should refer to them as Germans? There are only few Polish families in Waterbury. there fore there is neither Polish church or Polish school here. Neither is it true that the teacher who disciplined an unruly pupil in the alleged Polish school would be up before the courts on q charge of assault and battery if he were employed in a public school and resorted to similar treatment to- wards one of the pupils. The teacher referred to knows something about the discipline of the public schools. and what is done from time to time to maintain it. and so long as he keeps within the bounds of moderation. which he feels he has never oyer- stepped. he feels that it is hardly fair to drag him before the public in the role of an assailant. when as mat ter of fact he has done nothing con- trary to the law of the land or in any way exceeded the bounds of reason" | The Polish people object to being called Lithhanians. and the Lithu- | anians don't want to be referred to as | Polanders. So few know the differ ence that frequently both races feel aggrieved at newspaper items which l jntan1pI either.
