SUPT. BEEDE SAYS TUTORING TENDS
 TO FAV0RITISM

Although I believe there Is very little tutoring being done among local pupils and that mainly in the High school departments. it Is my opinion that if the matter should come up be- fore the Board of Education the board would disapprove of it." This state ment Is made by Superintendent F. H. Beede of the New Haven public schools in connection with the question tutoring in the public school of Wa terbury. -
 There Is no tutoring going on at the present time in the grammar schools. to my knowledge." continued Mir recommend a tutor and they are will ing to give compensation for the work but the matter Is not favored and does not exist generally in New Haven.
 There is a natural inclination on the part of teachers who tutor their own pupils to get their students along in their studies and for reasons that are obvious the practice would be ques- tioned If 1t should come up before the Board of Education Although the practice Is not general, nearly all of the tutoring is done in the summer time when pupils are trying to make up conditions at the High school and there are manifest reasons why it should not be done. The temptation of a teacher tutoring a pupil to give the student special help in the class room is one Of the chief reasons why the practice would be questioned if the board was called upon to take action on the matter. The question has never been taken up by the Board of Educa- ton"
 While there is little or none of this tutoring in the New Haven grammar schools. 1t Is understood that there is more of 1t fin the High school. some of the more experienced teachers receiv- ing. 1t is said. as high as s2 an hour for their services It is not believed. how ever. that the practice is extended enough to call for official action by the Board of Education.
 Attention was first called to the mat ter of tutogfng by, Attorney Edward B. Kelley. Jr.. of the Board of Education of Waterbury. who claims that over 50 per cent. of the Waterbury High school students are being tutored for pay A number of Waterbury High school instructors have taken excep- ton to Commissioner Reiley's state ment.

 "I sec" said Orde.
 Now, don't misunderstood me-" said Newmark dryly. This is your own affair. and do not urge 1t on you. If we raise as much as S75.0O0 on that upper peninsula stumpage it will be all it can stand. for next year we must make a third payment on 1t If you take that money it Is of course proper that you pay the interest on it And if there's any possibility of the fore closure of the mortgage it Is only right that you run all the risk of loss-not myself.-
 Certainly said Orde.
 From another point of view" went on Newmark. you are practically mortgaging your interest fin the Boom company for. $75.OO0. That would make. on the usual basis of a mort gage. your share worth above $200- 900. and $4O0.OOo is a high valuation of our property"
 '-That looks more than decent on your part" said Orde-
 ,"Of course it's none of my business what you intend to do with this" went on Newmark, but unless you're sure you can meet these notes should strongly advise against it."
 'For how long a time could get thisT' asked Orde at length.
 T couldn't promise it for longer than five years, replied Newmark.
 That would make about S15.0OO a year and interest. We'll. I don't see why can't carry that easily on our present showing and prospects"

TRIED TO CARRY
 CHURCH ON BACK

Greenwich. Dec. 2-Residents of Sound Beach village yesterday heard a salt sea tale of an octogenarian who
 tried to carry a church on his back" Captain Theodore Newton. eighty-five years old. spun the yarn. The police self and the nefghbors with it's details at the expense of Captain Willard K. Palmer.
 Captain Newton sailed the seas many years in quest of picturesaue and also sea dog of the old school. who has samassed a large fortune From the command -of a sea vessel Captain Palmer, shifted his employment during late years to working before the mast at the Sound Beach Presbyterian church During a financial squall. in which the church was flying her flag upside down. Captain Palmer loaned to the institution s5.000. and later. 1t tsfy his debt
 All Of which moved Captain. Newton, likewise a mariner now upon the Sea of Salvation. to cut loose all of the picturesque language he had gathered during a life on the ocean and send 1t in three sections at the devoted head of his neighbor captain. Opening his monolog11e. Captain Newton asserted that Captain Palmer had tried to- carry off the Presbyterian church on things lively. he added that Captain Palmer was a praying old hypocrite."
 Every time the accusing voice from the sea found it's mark. whether in public or in private. the, flood of de nunciation was started afresh. If Captain Newton saw Captain Palmer on the next block he megaphoned his sentiments. if he saw him in a meet ing he delivered an oration. He utIl- ized every means of communication known to the voice exceut that of whispering Twice the wealthy sea capoain had his accuser taken to court for making charges against him Once he got a suspended sentence; then a fine of s10 and yesterday he paid s10 and said he was tickled to do it.
