There appears to be good reasons
why the Soldiers Orphans school at
Hartford should he left intact.
The legislature gave the commission
sufftcient money to run four such
schools, but the commission in a few
weeks closed one of the schools.
The pupils in the Hartford schools
are much healthier than those of the
other schools in the state. There has
been no sickness in years, of seri-
Gus nature in the Hartford schools.
The cost for children in the Hartford
school is less than in the other schools.

Springs and Scotland, are in the oX-
treme south of the state, and the re-
moving would be unfair To soldiers
families. The school at Hartford is full
There is no lack of children.
