Do We Need a High School Building?

Do We Need High School Building?
The election to be held for the
purpose of voting upon the erec-
tion of high-school building on
Minnesota avenue and Twelfth
street has caused considerable
discussion. Some of our citizens
have suggested that it is exped.
lent to build high school at this
time, because they are laboring
under the impression that the
mum Der of pupils it would accom-
modate would be very small, and
there are others of the opinion
that the proposed site is located
too far north and west of the
business center of the city.
It is true that the enrolment
of the high-school at the present
time is only IS, but the main
dollhouse is already over
crowded, not only on account of
the high school pupils, but on
account of the large number of
pupils in the 9th, 9TH and 9th
grades. Next year the pupils as
shown in the following table,
will be in the 7th and 9th grades
and in the high-school, and it is

LEGISLATIVE SYMPOSIUM
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page,) though, as the legislators suffer more than anybody else from their pro- longed attendance at the capitol, l think that most of the criticism grow ing out of the extended session is en- tirely uncalled for. Probably the state expenses are increased to minute de- gree by the long session, but so long as most of the state servants work by the job rather than by the day it seems to me that they have right, not quite to take their own time, but to be par doned for a considerable amount of de- liberation.
 I do not favor return to the an- nual session, either with or without a time limit.
 As for special legislation, I think that most of the work which would proper ly come under that title should be placed in the hands of commissions, and I do not believe that such course would be fatal Q democratic govern ment, that 1t would break down the barriers" or "open the flood gates" If popular government preeludes the possibility of having things done by people who know how to do them then indeed there are serious objections tc

LIGHT THAT CLEANS IN GLOOM.
Lighthouse on FaullSner's Island Which Warns Imperiled Mariners.

Mournfully lowing With monotonous insistence twice every minute the fog horn on Faulkner's island during thick weather emits the doleful below, which under the name of The Cow warns mariners off the reef, There are many dangerous reefs and rocks and the fog horn and light there are as necessary to maintain as any along the sound.
 Many boating parties have visited Faulkner's Island this summer, and find it high out of water with steep banks, blossoming abundance of blue ohickory flowers, but only few scrub bushes for trees They learn that the lighthouse is not as tall as others, but its land elevation raises it as high above water level as any.
 The keeper of the light has not had holiday in two years, but sticks to duty with dwelling house well stock ed with necessaries. At the edge of the island are two looking glasses set 1T swinging frames at such an angle that the light is reflected to the keeper 1T his sitting room, so that he knows al is going well.
 The engine house contains two largt machines which run the fog horn ant the revolving lamp. A steam launcl is also kept to provide connection witl the mainland.

 Dear Sir: In reply to your recent re- quest for an expression of opinion from me relative to the advisability Of holding annual sessions of the Gen. eral Assembly, 1 would say, that from my experience and observations as a member of the Senate for two terms, I believe that yearly sessions would be for the public good.
 am aware that good reasons are urged against converting the legislature every year, but I am satisfied that on
 the whole such a course would be ad- vantageous. Such a great mass of bills

 give these measures the study and at tention they ought to receive for care flu! and deliberate legislation. Toward

NEGRO JUMPED TO DEATH.
Killed Instantly at West Haven Cross
 ing hv Passing Train.

John H. Hewlett, a deaf and dumb negro, was killed by an eastbound pas senger train at midnight, Monday about 100 feet east from the Wagner crossing at West Haven.
 It is supposed that he was stealing a ride on freight train and jumped off near the crossing to another track, On this track was coming in the same direction a passenger train, which kill ed him instantly. Papers found in his pockets indicate that his name was John H. Hewlett and that he was deaf and dumb, for they contained a long string of questions in the same hand- writing and answers written in several different hands.

Senator Honan.

Col. N. G. osborn, Editor:
 My Dear Sir: Replying to your in- ouiry of August thirteenth, asking my opinion of annual sesElons of the leg islature with time limit would say an. decidedly in favor of annual ses- sions and believe they would be bene- ficial from every point of view; partic- ularly so, if the senators and represent atives continued to be elected for two years, which would give them the op- pertunity of serving throughout two sessions. During the first session, a new man would gain the experience and practice necessary to enable him to reLder to the State valuable services at the succeeding session.
 It Is a mistake to send man to the legislature for the first time and ex- pect great results, no matter how able the man may be. He must first famil- lisrlze himself with rules, procedure and methods. and be able to properly value and classify the different inf1u- ences brought to bear. About the time he acquires this information the ses- sion closes. If he could serve at a sub- seouent session, he would then have g
 chance to profit by his previous expert. ence and show the stuff of which he k made. I believe this would remove much of the trouble and undue influ ence said to be often exercised, ant lwould give us a law-making body tha
 could act intelligently upon every mat
 ter presented; or, if it should happel
 that any proposition was not thorough lily understood, a committee could b.
 appointed to investigate the matter an
 report at the next session,
 I believe the biennial session has
 tendency to attract business because o it's infrequency. The legislators, realiz
 ing that they are to meet but once
 spend much time in preliminary work which seems impossible under presen conditions to avoid. The new men es pecially demand slow and careful move ment in order that they may act in telligently. This has tendency to dra the session to such a length that, i the end, they grow tired and are apt t rush legislation without the carefl and conscientious consideration tha was given at the start.

Senator Keeney,

 Col N. c. Osborn;
 My Dear Sir:-
 Your letter received. l am decidedly lin favor of annual sessions of the Gen. eral Assembly. From conversation with many members of this years as sembly, I am inclined to believe, that this is desired, and I think the ses- sion should terminate, not later than May 1. This would assure a more regular attendance of the members; give ample time to complete all the business, and would in many ways, produce better legislation.
 The long sessions under the present system are very tiresome, and are con- ducive to unwise legislation, through a tendency to hurry many delayed mat ters, without giving them the careful attention. Given in the earlier part of the session, many changes can, and should be made to expedite legislative business I believe the people are ready to listen to, and accept sug- gestions from those who are qualified to act in this matter,

New Britain, Conn, Aug. 21, 1907. Colonel N G. Osborn, Editor, the Journal and Courier, New Haven, Conn:
 Dear Colonel--In answer to your communication of August IS, I beg to say that l am very much in favor of annual sessions of the legislature; am also favorable to restriction of special legislation.
 With my limited experience as a | legislator I do not know that l am qualified to suggest any specific rem | edy to overcome these evils, but per sonally l feel that it is radically wrong and absolutely harmful to the | best interest of the state to ask any busy man to spend seven months of his valuable time in any one year in the interests of his state or the Unit ed States, and that this practice or method is liable to work to the disad- vantage of all concerned

 Dear Sir:
 Replying to your letter asking for al opinion as to the desirability of hold ing an annual session of the Legisla ture for limited time and with pro hibition placed upon special legislation I believe that 1t would be of very ma terial benefit to the state
 If the Legislature held annual ant daily sessions, the business could b finished under two months and mue more efficiently and meritoriously Els pccially would this be possible if public utilities commission was creat ed to take care of matters relating t publia service corporations It appear to me that the greatest material wei fire that could come to this stat . would be through the creation of sue d commission with ample power pro vided and composed of men of tf highest character and ability and adt S quately paid. The saving and ecor - omic progress to the State which coul < be accomplished under such conditio , would justify the State in securing tf best sort of men at whatever sala1 e was necessary for the purpose. s I am not clear as to the relativ e merits of annual and biennial se g sions of the legislature, but dai session, with a time limit, and pu q lie utilities commission would appei d to be conditions for which we shou p earnestly strive.

NFw HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER WEDNESDAY, 1907

til the closing days of the session when the conditions I have mentioned make their passage easy!
 If short sessions were held yearly this great volume of business could not pile up and more careful attention could be given to the work in hand. Then again, if the legislature met annually condi- tions in the State which are found to demand remedial legislation could be more readily and speedily bettered.
 But while I am satisfied that annual sessions of the legislature would be for the benefit of the public, still I realize, with all other unbiased minds, that the great evils in our legislation arise principally from our system of repre- sentation with its growth of machine and boss rule. In the senate during the last session I witnessed most ab- ject subservieney to boss rule on the part of Republican senators. No law | was enacted without the consent of the party leaders. No one at all familiar with the conditions which existed in the last senate win deny this I have said that at times it seemed to me that if an angel from above should ap- pear in the. senate chamber and inplore some of those senators, who sat in the south side of the chamber, to show some in dependence and act according to their conscience and their duty to the public, they would still harken to the party bosses. Senator Atwater says that much good legislation was defeat- ed by the railroad lobby, but say most emphatically that the defeat of much good legislation was not the
 work of a lobby but rather of Re publican machine.
 If the Republican party would send to the legislature more men like the present Governor and two or three Re
 publican senators that I have in mind and who are pretty well known to the public 1t might not make very much
 difference whether we had sessions of
 the General Assembly yearly or once in
 two years.
