We'll" said the fluffy haired blonde
after a judicial pause. there are only
three causes that make a happy mar
ried woman sore on matrimony, if you
will pardon the phraseology. They are
dyspepsia, jealousy and lack of money.
Is lack Of money the canker that's
eating the blush from your damask
cheek, or words to that effect?"
Mrs. Allison shook her head again,
emphatically. Nobody has enough
money she said with conviction. But
that's the least of my troubles, and

fool to let money worry her, if it's
only a matter Of luxuries.'

City Should Have Leaving Law Says
 State Agent Hall
Bridgeport Now Has Permanent Headquarters For Issuance
 of School Certificates

For the accommodation of the Bridgeport school children who desire employment certificates an office has been opened by State Agent Charles N. Hall of the State Board of Educa- tfon in room g. Masonic Temple. and a clerk is in charge from 8 to 1 daily. Prior to this arrangement MT. Hall visited Bridgeport twice week, Tues days in the day time and Thursday eE- en1ngs, and met those who desired the certificates in the Common council chamber: Under the new arrangement MT. Hall comes to the city twice a week but by having an office opened daily the children are better accom- modated.
 In speaking of the work which is entrusted to him Agent Hall said to- day that good deal of difficulty is eSperienced because the city of definite leaving grade as has been done in other cities and towns of the state. The statute provides that it is within the province of the school board of any town or the Board of Educa- tion of any city, to specify some defi- mite grade before child can leave school to go to work.
 The vote as usually passed is in text about as folIows:' Voted that in the .own or 7ee--. no eniio shah pc ployed until said child. has completed work in the grade of the public schools of said town" Bristol has made
 
 in school until he has completed the sixth grade: Plymouth has Set the Sixth grade: Winchester has set the Sixth grade; Torrington, the Norwalks. Stamford and Green wich has set the fifth as the leaving limit.
 There is virtually a leaving grade established by the state law which makes 1t compulsory for a. pupil to get certificate for employment, said MT. Hall, "but if the city would estab- fish leaving law this would avoid a good deal of difficulty. In Bridge port children can't leave schools with out a certificate of employment and those certificates are not issued until the child complies with certain educa- tiona1 requirements. These require ments amount to the fifth grade in the Bridgeport schools. No certificate is is- sued to 8 child who has had less ed ucation-
 ssI,his doesn't take the place of a fix ed leaving grade however. The re- suit Of fixed leaving grade is that in towns where such a grade has been aware that their children cannot go to work before such a time anyway and very few apply for certificates below that particular grade. In a town established applications are constant ly coming in from children in very low grades. These are not granted of course but a good deal of friction and difficulty in getting the children back to the school follows.
 5 "A fixed grade in this city would mean a longer term of schooling for many children who are taken from can secure work. don't consider for a minute that old claim that there are circumstances which make it necessary in some cases for a child who hasn't ing, going to work before a certain time. .''
