 A contract has been awarded for an additional "L" to be built onto the Barracks Al U. s. A." owned by Mrs. Col. Caldwell.
 Dr. Chas. D. Farriss of New York City, who has been enjoying his vacation with his family at Summer Rest" left yesterday for trip to Georgia.
 w. Martwick, who has been spending his vacation with his family, at the Ward Cottage" has returned to his home in New York City. He will be much missed.
 There were about one hundred people out on Sunday to listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. MT. Wallace, also to the rendering of fine musical pro- gram led by Professor Bowden.
 MT. Penney and family of Stamford, Ct., are at their pretty cottage "Housa- tonic Lodge" Their arrival is hailed with delight as they bring with them their share of life and enthusiasm.
 Mrs. Clayson Hoyt of Stamford gave an afternoon lunch at Camp Partridge" on Saturday afternoon in which most of the people of the grove participated. Muskmelons and waters were served and all enjoyed a pleasant hour especially the little folks.
 Saturday evening is generally quite the event of the week at the Grove when most of the cottages are illuminated with Chinese lanterns and the large dining room at the Inn is the centre of attrao- tion, for the guests, as we'll as cottagers where social hour is spent in music and recreation.

PRICES STILL SOAR

The results of the many actions brought by the government to break up trusts have been astonishingly satisfac- tory in the courts and as astonishlngly unsuccessful in restoring normal com petitive conditions, or of reducing prices to the consumer or of disrupting the mo- nopolistic methods of production and distribution There have been long lists of favorable court decisions and yer diets, but the trusts seem to have thrived on them and the costs have as rule been borne by the consumer in the shape of increased prices. Now the Depart ment of Justice. experimenting on the tobacco trust, is to make an effort to es- tablish new and striking pro cedure, that is the application for receiver for the affairs of such combines as operate in violation of the Sherman Antitrust laws. By this means, providing. of course, that the courts sustain the De- partment, the Government will be em- powered to take charge of the business of any trust violating the law and ad- minister not only it's affairs, but regulate it's business, establish prices, restore competition and otherwise burst trusts with free hand. It sounds Utopian, and it will be hard for the long suffering consumer or frozen-out dealer to believe that it will succeed, but Roosevelt luck has attended most of the Presi- dents radical movements, and it may be that this will not prove an exception.

BETTER SCHOOLS

The legislators did at least one thing at Hartford last week that should be, and probably is, pleasing to the rank and file of citizens in this state. They took the initiatory action toward better ing educational conditions and 1t IS to be hoped that there will be no cessation of effort until a change has been brought about.
 It seems to be fact, however reluct- ant we may be to admit it, that in the matter of educational facilities. with particular reference to the common or public schools, Connecticut is sebehind many of the other states. There are ex- captions, of course, but generally speak; ing such is the condition.
 Senator Luther, presented bill directing the governor to appoint com mission of five to investigate the school conditions and see if they can be inn proved
 In speaking on the subject he said: "It is high time some investigation was mdO0. ucTc dIo SICdG LhnhJ fOAy good schools in the state. but there are many very poor schools. In many the teachers are poorly paid, and in many pupils are poorly taught. The relation of the state to public education, under changing conditions in the rural dis tricts, calls for attention, and even in city schools are problems that may well be discussed No one who has served at this session on the education committee can fail to recognize feeling in parts of the state hostile to the state board of education. Connecticut Is not doing as well for education as some other states. In Texas the road is wide open for the boy, from the gutter clear through to the profession, without expense"
 The senator has the right idea of the situation. Constantly changing condi tions require change in methods if the state is to keep abreast of the times in school matters.
