GENIUS OF WESTINGHOUSE.

George Westinghouse has q creative mind. There is no country in the world where train runs. or an en- zine works. or dynamo turns. in which his name is not honored and fa- miliar. He has bought new mechan- isms and new industries into being: he has contributed largely to the prog ress in modern methods of transportl- ton and communication which have shaped to such an extent the relations between individuals and communities between nation and nation. The post office. the telegraph. the railway. and the steamship unite the most distant regions. Upon them modern life is wholly dependent in its social. indus trial. and commercial phases. Stephen son gave us the railway: Westing- house made the modern complex rail- way system possibility by his in- ventions which control the move ments of trains. Had he done no more than this his name would still stand among the great achieyers.
 George Westinghouse will be sixty years of age next October: he Is built on massive scale. tall. and as strong as a blacksmith. He is alert. farsIght- ed. quiet. sangiIine. and untiring. with a constitution strong as nickel steel He is most agreeable man to meet. and has rare faculty for iu- Spiring others with his own enthus- iasm.
 \ remarkable fact in his career is the early age at which he hecame prominent. At inc age of tweniy-two George Westinghouse made his first great invention. tho afr brake.

 The annual borough meeting was called to order by Warden Roberts at s o'clock last evening. One of the first questions discussed was the appropri- ation of S41.000 for schools. Edward J. Kennedy thought it might be pos sible to cut down on the kindergarten and physical culture expense. He thought the kindergarten was detri- ment. because if children were com pelled to go through the kindergarten they would not be able to get into high school until they attained the age of siyeen or seventeen years. Mir Rodenbach said the kindcrs lrtP-l had come to stay. Attorney Kennedy. al- so representing the board of educa- tion, said that the kindergarten was and that it advanced ratFsr than re- tarded the children. F.. F. Stevens said there was rumor on the street that the physical culture department was not in satisfactory condition and he thought the borough should not pay for something it was not get ting. William Kennedy said he was not aware that anything was wrong with the department. The schools of Naugatuck were getting more for their money than any other town in the state Edward Kennedy made motion that the appropriation for schools he decreased S3,000 to wit: S1.no0 for drawing teacher. S1.300 for Kindergarten and sToO for physical instruction n. F. Mills. William Ken nedy. W. T. Rodenbach and Charles Baxter spoke against the motion. The motion was lost by an almost unani- mouse vote. there being only two af. frmative votes. The estimates for the coming year amounted to S141.22a.
