EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
MIR HOOD OF SHELTON GIVES A A FINE ADDRESS BEFORE THE MEMBERS OF P00TATuCk GRANGE.

The members of Pootatuck Grange enjoyed an instructive and able ad- dress. Tuesday night, by W. D. Hood, superintendent of schools for Huntlnec. ton and Stratford. Among some Of the good points he emphasized were: No school in any district will be bet ter than the parents of the children re- quire it shall be. Regularity and pune tuality of attendance pay large dlvl- dends. There ought to be public school sentiment in every town. Ey- cry school building ought to be a fit place to house children in. Of five sixths of the country schoolhouses Tn the state MT Hood had visited for the State Board of Education, he said the honest and progressive man would not
 keep a fine horse in them. The teach CT should make the schuol exercises at tractive. No school can do good work unless there is obedience on the part of the pupils. One urgent need of the day is for better qualified teachers, especially in the rural districts. MT Hood favored the taking of the certifi- cation Of school teachers out of local hands and placing the examining of teachers in the hands of the State Board of Education. Light refresh ments were served following the ad- dress.

SOME FEATURES Of
PEARL HARBQR WORK

1t is stated that the contract fol-
the Pearl Harbor dredging, which wa:
| awarded to the Hawaiian Dredging
! Company, will be carried out by it il
| connection with the San Francisco
Bridge Company. Both concerns have
large amounts of the needed appa
ratus, and additional apparatus will
be secured by George Denison and W
f. Dillingham; while they are in the
East.
Francis B. Smith, engineer of the
San Francisco Bridge Company, is here
now preparing the data for his com
pany's bid for the construction of the
Pearl Harbor drydock, bids for which
will be opened at Washington Febru-
airy Is. Mr.. Smith constructed the
drydock at League Island, Philadel-
phia, and that at Mare Island now
nearing completion.
The specifications under which the
bids for the Pearl Harbor dredging
were put in divide the estimates for
the work under four separate heads
Items l, 3, and 5. The first item is
for the dredging alone, all of the ma
terials taken out to be wasted. Item
calls for bid on conserving 100000
yards of the material dredged and the
placing of it on the Naval Station
site. Item calls for bids for the
placing of 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial on the Queen Emma site. Item
calls for price for the placing of
T00 n0n -
material on the Puuloa site.
As nearly all of the material taken
out by the dredger will be needed in
the work which the government will
subsequently undertake, the prices
quoted by the bidders under Items 8,
4 and were taken into consideration
in determining the lowest bidder.
The Hawaiian Dredging Company
made a fat bid of Is cents a cubic
yard for conserving the material and
placing it on the three sites named
in the specifications. The next low
est bidder, R. A. Perry, was 2 cents
cubic yard higher in the price de-
manded under these three items. The
three other bidders demanded a fat
rate of % cents for conserving the
material.
The material mentioned in Items
and 5 is for the use of the Army In
filing the marsh land around Pearl
Harbor to make it suitable for forti-
fication Sites Without the material
the Army engineers would encounter
serious difficulties in their work, so it
is considered practically foregone
conclusion that contractors will be
reauired to conserve the dredped ma
terial in accordance with the speeifi-
cations.
The contract price for the actual
dredging, $3,560,00O, will therefore be
increased to $4,109,000, the extra
$4,000 being for the conserving and
delivery of S,O50,000 cubic yards of
dredged material at 16 cents per cubic
ward.
