MIR TINKER'S REPORT
Comparing School Work of Fifty
 Years Ago With the Present.

Fifty years of school progress in Waterbury formed the subject of q report of Superintendent of Schools E. w. Tinker to the board of educa uon Monday evening. It occasioned q great deal of research and hard work Tor Mir Tinker, but it was pleasure 10 hlm to prepare it.
 Waterbury. Conn. Jan 1. 1907. TO the Board of Education:--
 Gentlemen en:Periodically critics of schools throughout the entire country have stated that the school children of to-day can not spell as well as <those of fifty years ago. that the work 1n arithmetic is less effectively done and that in general the quality of the ; work in the three R's in depreciating. These criticisms have been answered by educators who believed that inc scharges were untrue but who were unable to wholly refute these state ments from the lack of any docu- mentary evidence which could be used as just basis of comparison. Within d year in the city of Spring held. Mass. there has been discovered complete set of examination papers given to the pupils of the Higll, school in lS46 These tests in spelling anll arithmetic were given to 2l0 ninth grade pupils in the city of Springfield and have been recently given to the ninth grade ill the Margaret Croft school. In both cities the tests were given exactly as they appeared on the original papers and were conducted under the direction of the principals. The following are the results:

 The test in spelling could hardly he considered a fair one to submit to grammar school pupils of to-day, for Hiany of the words are seldom used by the pupils and slightly drilled ,ip, on. but they are Just the words that were spelled over and over again ill thc old fashioned spelling matches oi 50 years ago. yet in spite of this fac, the pupils of today easily Outspclled

TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS.

A symposium on the treatment of
the criminal and other social parasites
was held at the joint meeting Of the
Physicians Club at Chicago this
week. The following two theories
were advanced:
Elimination of criminal children by !
sterilization.
Treatment OF criminals over thirty !
years old as habitual and either send I.
ing them to penal institutions for
life or putting them away in some
other manner. possibly by the Gene
terry route.
DR.. William T. Belfeld was the adj
vocate of the sterilization idea. He
took up the biological aspect of the
criminal, and after tracing the devel-
opment Of the individual to the point
where he became a danger to society,
made a plea for race suicide.
"Morauty Is the arrest of the in
stincts by intellect" he said" A child
is a savage. If he continues to i'm
prove slowly h has chance to out
grow his tendencies before he is 80.
Before that he should be given all the
care possible. But when man com

no hope Of improvement. For the ma

FOR COLD ROOMS HARD TO HEAT

HE coming OF the co1u weather
gives rise 70 she question Of how best
10 heat those rooms and Railways of
the house that seldom. if ever, warm
up. no matter how big a fire there
may be in the furnace or other heat
ing apparatus.
The best way out Of the difficulty
! is the use of auxiliary stoves-and of
these it would be difficult indeed to .
find anything so handy and at the I
same time so clean and economical |
as the Perfection Oil Heater.
To begin with it is absolutely safe.
The wick can be turned as high Or as
; low as possible without danger. But
perhaps the most desirable feature of
all is its convenience. The Perfec-
ton Oil Heater can be easily carried
to any part Of the house where more
heat is required 1t may be a cold
: bedroom, a chilly hallway, a sick
/, room. Or you can use it to heat the
bathroom while you take your morn
.. ing bath-then dress by it-and then
. carry it to the dining room and eat
- YOUR breakfast in comfort. The occa-
, sions on which it can be called into
use are numerous-ano once you've
. tried the Perfection Oil Heater you'll
wonder why you ever struggled
: drought cold winter without one.
Another advantage is the smokeless
burner, which prevents any of the un
Dleasantness that perhaps have giver
YOU a poor idea of oil heaters in gen
eral. 1t is very handsome in appear
ance and beautifully finished in nicke
and japan.
Another home comfort for the Ion
winter evenings is the Rayo LAM
which can be used IN any room in tn
house-from parlor to bedroom. 1t
is the latest improved burner, maxim
il unusually safe and clean, and a
ideal lamp for all round househol
purposes.
The Perfection OH Heater and tn
Pavo Lamp. combining as they do
make the house warm and Cheerful
are valuable additions to any hom
an no household should be witho'
them. They are sold al modera
prices by dealers everywhere.

KINGSTREE'S Two BANKS.
Annual Meetings Held and Both Make
Fine Showing.

The Bank of Kingstree held its
annual meeting on January s and
declared a dividend of S per cent,
lnaddition to which they carried u
handsome amount to surplus. The
same board of directors was elected.
viz: Messrs D G Scott, J A Kelley.
R H Kellahan and ] F Cooper.
All the old officers were reelected,
as follows: D G Scott, president;
j A Kelley, vice-presldent; L II
Fairey, cashier; n D Lesesne, assist

The Bank of KingStree has made
a remarkably fine showing every
year since its organization and this
years business shows 40 exception
to the rule.
On January 10 the Bank of Will
liamsburg held its first animal meet
ing, there being present large
majority of the stockholders. The
report of the years business was
most encouraging, showing a healthy
and prosperous condition of affairs in
every detail. The net earnings of the
bank amounted to 104 per ct. of the
capital stock, and when it is consid:
cred that the capital stock is $40,-
OOO.one-third more than that of the
second largest in the county-the
showing made by this bank is
certainly one to be proud of. And
that, too, when the first year of its
existence was one so disastrous to
this section.
1t was decided to pay dividend
of six per cent of the earnings and
pass the balance to surplus.
The board of directors was un-
animously reelected, with the addi-
ton of Mr. E G Epps, the popular
and efficient cashier. The personenl
of the board is as follows: J F Nc
Fadden, F Rhem, P G Gourdin
