THE FEAT OF BLERIoT

Louis Bleriot, the Frenchman, made history Sunday when he flew across the English Channel from Les Baraques to Dover, distance of 21 miles, in the re markable time of little less than half an hour He was the first man to ao- ,complish that feat which has been the goal of many disappointed aviators.
 The success of the hazardous under. taking did not in itself mark any pro- gress in the science of air navigation but was rather an achievement of per sonal recklessness. The distance was not extraordinarily great as the Wrights have covered more than twice the dis sance in their machine when flying over land, procedure considerably more dangerous than over water. Airship passenger lines and invasions of oversea countries in bomb laden flying machines are not brought any nearer by Bleriot' $ accomplishment. but it has lent an ad- ditional impulse to inc intense and widespread interest which is being taken all over the world in aeronautical ex- periments just at present and more sub- stantial. if less spectacular, accomplish ments may be expected in the future,

. J. R. H. Moore, who has been making short visit with Mrs. Nj. G. Adam, has gone to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he will take up his duties as supervisor of history in the public schools of that city and lecturer on history in the public schools of that city and lecturer on his tory in the manual training high school. w. Q. Sheldon's House Burned
 A fire, originating from spark in the chimney, shortly after noon yesterday, completely destroyed the house of w. D. Sheldon, in Weataug. The fire burned so rapidly that only few articles could be removed, but fortunately the wind blew away from the barns, or the loss might have been greater. There is an insurance of $500 on the property.
 East Canaan Road Open
 The East Canaan road. which has been closed for repairs for two months or more, was reopened to traffic Saturday even. ing. Although the road has not been entirely completed the top dressing is being rapidly put on and will be finished in few more days. The road is greatly improved. The rock has been blasted out from the road bed which has been lowered on the grade just be- yond the railroad crossing three feet for length of 300 feet, while the rock at the right, going east, has been blasted out to depth of 10 feet for length of about 200 feet. This latter makes the road much wider and straighter. A fine road bed has been built and it is now smooth as a carpet and nearly as hard as bed rock.
 Death of Mrs. Martain Langs
 The community was shocked Monday morning by news of the death of Mrs. Martain Langs which occurred i'll the Winsted Hospital Sunday evening Mrs. Langs had been i'll for several weeks but it was believed and confidently hoped that her recovery would be the certain result of her treatement at Winsted. Measuring reports were received from time to time of her improvement and for this reason announcement of her death came as the greater shock to the members of her family and to her host of friends. Mrs. Langs had been resi- dent of Canaan for several years during which time she had won the esteem and friendship of all who knew her. She leaves besides her husband, two daugE- ters, Mrs. Arthur Grinnell of Waltham, Mass, and Miss Ella Langs of Canaan, to whom is extended the sincere sym. pathy of all in their great bereavement The funeral was held at the Pilgrim Church at o'clock yesterday afternoon Rev. E. O. Gillettee officiating. There was large attendance of friends and many floral tributes were received Interment was in the family plot here

TOWN SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

We print in another column this week tho act recently passed by the legisla- turs concerning town management of public schools, an act of great importance to those towns which have not already taken upon themselves this power. The defeats and evils that have existed and continue to exist in the small town schools and the urgent need of remedial legislation have been apparent for long time.
 It has been pretty generally admitted that the parent of all evil in the schools of the small towns is the district system, Q system long outgrown, a breeder of discord, a promoter of financial stingi- ness, the essence of misrule, legislated out of existence in all other states, and surviving in Connecticut only, a blot upon the educational system of our ytate. ..
 All the features of the district plan are bad. The worst are the lack of any definite system, excessive number of school officers, neglect of school build ings, negligence in securing competent teachers, incompetent pay of teachers and impossibility of best supervision.
 There can be no definite school system in the district managed small town. Each little district is a prinoipality in itself, mismanaged without reference to the schools of the town as whole. Each district committee is an autocrat, usually not especially interested in schools, very seldom with any expert knowledge of school management or school needs, and frequently at variance with the board of schools visitors. No one person knows who is teaching in all the schools or whether all the schools are in session. There is no official or ganization or head and it is unnecessary to argue that system is impossible under such conditions. The neglect of school buildings, because no one has sufficient interest to make the constant minor re- pairs, and the incompetent selection of teachers in district managed school are not matters of fiction but oftruth, proved by bitter experience. A pre- naium is placed on parsimony under such management and the inevitable re- suit is that the teacher is chosen not so much for her competence as for her price, and while there are many earnest, faithful, competent teachers ill district towns they are too frequently the ex- ception.
 The act providing for the town manage nent of schools after last Thursday will without doubt go far to remedy the conditions outlined above, will remove a great disgrace from our state. put no undue burden of expense on anyone and mark long step forward in school mar- Agement. sa

THE scHooLsIN SHARON

In view of the passage of the act con- as discussed above and it's becoming effective the discussion of this same sut- feet held in Sharon in May by men deeply interested and thoroughly in- formed on these matters will be recalled with renewed interest. Among their statement the following will be partic- ularly pertinent at this time:
 Flown management means; first, that purposes; second, one set of officers for school purposes; third, schoolbuildings become the property of fhe town; fourth, fhe town pays all the bills; fifth, all school business done in the town neet- ing; sixth, all district lines abolished
 This means no particular change ex- cppt that the town committee can send children to which school they think best. In Sharon at present there are F districts and i'll each district three officials also six school visitors, making 57 off, cials to 233 children. Would you pre- f5r 50 selectmen to three? Just as sem sible. Why cannot three officials con- duct the school business as well as three conduct the town business? In district meetings petty jealousies crop out. In ,towh meeting you can get the sentiment of the people. Sharon spends more money for roads than for schools. Sharon spends more money fer roads than for schools. Force of pubic opinion cansed good roads and will finally cause good schools.
 ''Now as to the objections to the town system. One of the main ones is that the small schools will all be closed. As matter of fact this is not so. Under the present system the town board of Sharon can close any school when ill their judgment, there are not scholars enough to make it wise to continue. They have already closed four. Many barns in Sharsn are far better equipped for their purpose than one-third of the schoolhouses. They are a disgrace to the town. The trouble with the dis trict system is it is almost impossible to get necessary repairs under this system mud the committeeman are not to blame
