ThompsOn's Communication.
CONTINUED from pageD

the Police Jury for the three
mills set aside for the benefit of
the schools. The provision for
the payment of this money to the
schools is statutory and must be
paid to the school authorities
whether the Police Jury wishes
to do SO or not. This is the man
date of the law and the Police
Jury cannot avoid compliance
with it. AS to the number of
high schools and the method of
their management, / have to say
that the School Board, in the
creation and maintenance of
these schools, has only complied
with the laws governing this
subject. The State passed gene
raj laws with reference to the
establishment of high schools,
and the State Board of Education
supplemented these laws by re-
solutions to make them operative
and effective. They named to
the people of each community
the conditions under which high
schools would be established in
their midst, and when these
communities came toward with
the announcement that they had
complied with or were ready to
comply with those requirements,
all the School Board had to do was
tosee that the law had been COM
piled with and established the
school subject to the approval of
the State Board of Education.
All applications, statements of
fact and certificates required by
la were then gathered
up by the Superintendent
and Secretary Of the Board and
transmitted by him to the State
Superintendent of Education to
be submitted by him to the State
Board of Education for action
thereon. Now the State Board
requires that there should be an
average of not less than twenty
in the four grades constituting
the high school department, and
as long as that average is main
tanned / do not see how you can
lessen the number of 6 h
schools. Where should the elm
nation begin? I am sure if you
were to tell the people of any
one of the communities in which
high schools exist that the char
aeter of the school was going to
be changed and the school put
on the grade basis
as a gram mar s h o o |,
that you would create a great
commotion in that community,
and the people would lose inter-
est in their school and fail in the
future to be responsive to their
school necessities; besides, there
is no way in which this can be
done except by an unjust dis
elimination against t h e COM
lnunity in which it might be pro-
posed to make the change. II
have written this article to set
this question right before the
people, and to correct any wrong
impression which may have
gained currency through a mis-
understanding of the true situa-
lion with reference to our high
schools. / hope I have said
aothing at which anyone could
AXE offense, and | expect to see
favorable action taken by the
Jury in granting the very
reasonable request which has
been made Of it for the benefit
# the coming manhood and
vomanhood in the rural districts
f this grand old parish.
Yours truly,

AN AFFECTING SCENE
 IN PROBATE COURT
Boy Brothers Deserted By Father Hear of Mammals Death-Com-
 mitted to County Home.

Ten year old Harry Smith and his four year old brother. Daniel, sat in the office of Probate court this morn ing waiting for the clerk to fill out commitment papers for the county home in Norwalk. His little flushed cheeks showed the stains of uncheck- ed tears and his little heart throbbed Smith was at the state hospital in Hartford, lowering between life and death. His father had deserted the family and there had been a hard struggle to eeke out living until sickness took the tired and wearied woman to her sick bed.
 Then an aunt walked sadly into the court room. She was dressed in mourning but her clothes had no sig eyes were dim We buried your mother yesterday Harry" was the sad announcement of the grieved relative
 It was a pathetic scene that fol- lowed. Harry's head bent to his knees sobs which had been held back while he was waiting, broke out anew and the little fellows convulsed with anguish. Little Daniel sat by. clasp ing bag of candy in one hand and the arm of the chair with the other. He looked at his brother Harry and wondered-just wondered.
 The aunt stopped and kissed him. She turned to Harry with the remark: Don't cry Harry dear, mamma is better off" A few more sobs a flood of tears and then the boy bravely straightened up. With determined effort he held his emotions in check and until the commitment paper were finished, sat gazing absently out the window The father is said to be at sea.

 Notwithstanding the specific in structions of the captain regarding Mr. Ismay's message to Vice President Franklin,'' the committee declares, "the evidence shows the message was not received by Franklin until o'clock Wednesday morning, April 17, two days later"
 That the White Star officers receiv- ed their first official account of the news from Captain +Haddock, of the Olympic, at 6i16 D. m.- on Monday, April IS. was asserted
 That the committee does not be- lieve," it is declared, "that the oper- ator of the Carpathia showed proper vigilance in handling the important work confided to him. Information concerning an accident at sea had previously been used by: an operator for his own advantage. That such procedure had been permitted by the Marconi Company may have had its effect on this occasion. Sale of the experiences of operators of the Titanic and Carpathia subjects the partici- pants to criticism and the practice should be prohibited. <

SENATE REPORT ON TITANIC DISASTER
 LEAVES ISMAY OUT
(Continued from Page one)

(Continued from Page One) ator Cotton retired.
 s'The committee is forced to the in- evitable conclusion that the Califor- nian, owned by the same company, was nearer the Titanic than the 19 crew saw the distress signals of the Titanic and failed to respond to them in accordance with the dictates of humanity, international usage and the requirements of the law. Had assist ance been promptly offered or had the minutes longer at his post the Cali fornian might have had the proud distinction of rescuing the lives of passengers and the crew."
 ''The failure to utilize all the life- boats to their recognized capacity un- questionably resulted in the needless sacrifice of several hundred lives. Had the sea been rough it is question able whether any of the lifeboats would have reached the water with out being destroyed.
 Except in isolated cases there was no panic. No distinction was made between first, second and third class passengers. Women and children without discrimination, were given preference. Under proper discipline, your committee believes, the survivors could have been in fewer boats after
 
 would have been possible to have saved many lives had those in charge of boats returned promptly to the scene of the disaster
 How the survivors waited until the cries of the drowning had subsided, without making an effort to save the struggling masses of humanity in the water, is then drama tically detailed by the committee.
 That the Titanic did not break in two, but plunged down perpendicularly is the finding of the committee. Alb sence of suction is declared remark able.
 That every lifeboat was picked up by Captain Rostron of the Carpathia is declared. How the first boat was picked up at 4:1O a. m., April IS, Is recounted, with the prayer service on board the Carpathia for the living and dead That no floating survivors or bodies were found above the wreck is ex- plained by the committee by the fact that they were either carried down and held for hours, were caught be- meath ice fields or carried away by the swift current.
