URGES PENSION
 FOR TEACHERS
 IN SELF DEFENSE
Charles A. Ames Says State Must Act to
 Get Good Ones
Connecticut Association of Su- peTintendents Regards It As
 Business Proposition

New Haven, May 1O-When the Con- necticut Associa tion of School Super intendents met in this city, today, for the annual session. they had before them in addition to the routine busi- ness the question of the training of teachers for rural schools. The mat ter came up in the presentati ton of the report of the committee which has been Investigating it and also in ad- dresses by Henry c. Morrison, su- perintendent of public instruction in New Hampshire and by Secretary Charles D. Htne, of the State Board of Education s
 Considerable emphasis was laid at meeting of the superintendente, last night, on pensions for school teachers by Charles A. Ames, of Hartford. He urged the adoption of a state pension, solely as a business proposition, as a rehabilitation to the profession, which he said, is fast becoming the least desirable of all, and as a defense for the schools
 Business houses, railroads and stores,' he said, think it good busi- ployeS as a stimulus to efficiency and why should the school administration be backward? The state must do something to keep the women from mercantile and business houses, where they secure better pay and more SIADIS. assurance TOT the IuluEG. W0 are not doing it for the teachers but for the children who are suffering from the poor quality of instruction received in our schools.
 tsNo town board of education has the courage to. get rid of it's old in structors, incapacitated by years and broken down health. but a pension system would provide a safeguard to them and a defense to the schools. All the good teachers in the state are go- ing to Massachusetts,, New Jersey and nearby states where the pension sys- tenn is in vogue and aln1ess Connecti- cut adopts some system to remedy this 1precario1ls situation in ourschool system, our schools are doomed to absoIute failure as institutions of learning.
 Rev. Ellsworth Nj. Tracy, chairman of the legislative committee on -educa- ton, urged the need of trade schools for every center of population The public school, he said, is under the i11ain ense burden of. Americanizipg the hosts of foreign children and the trade school is the dominant need of the situation. -
 George l.. Fox favored the trade school idea but advocated boys over 14 years of age paying trade school tuition.
 Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton Morrison, of New Hampshire, favored pensions as the best means of the efficiency of the teach ing force in the public schools.

That the lodging houses o9s tie wa ter front district of Bridgeport are being operated in open violation. of the State laws, and are 3. menace to pub lie health are the conclusions. of John J. O'Donnell, tenement inspector of the New Haven Board of Health, who last evening made a tour of the Bridge port institutions with David w. Lynch, sanitary inspector of the Bridgeport Board of Health.
 Inspector O'DonneIfe investigation here are part of a series he is rnak- ing in the four largest cities of the State, for the purpose of comparison of the methods in the various cities He has no criticism to make of the Bridgeport Health department, but rather planes the par sin1onious meth tenn of meeting the lodging house con ditions
 He believes the lodging houses should be closed, unless radical changes are made, for as at present Conducted he says they are dark, lily ventilated and consequently are un- sanitary. There is>not sufficient room for the number of dodgers, he says, to give the amount of, cubic feet of space that each sleeper should have, 800 cu- bic feet, and from this fact alone he says the city should cause the houses 
 ..tI. was very much surprised at con ditions I found here,'' said Inspector O'Donne1I to The Farmer. ''I do not want to appear criticizing your Health department, because feel that the system, not the men, is to blame for the conditions existing here. The city doesn't supply money to maintain the corps of inspectors needed in a, city of this size With but one man to cover this entire city, it is impossible to get to the root of things"
 Mr O'DonnelI was unS pairing in his condemnation of the lodging houses. Prom what [ saw of them, said he, %the men who run them all ought to be in jail. The Health department should close them up, for they are worse than any prison cells in the country I visited six of them, all along the water front section. Among them was a new one, just opened, they told me. According to the State law, provision of 500 Ncubic feet of space with fresh air must be made for every lodger. It is impossible to get fresh air into these cells, because they are not open. You can't get light into them because they are not laid out that way. A man wouldn't keep his cattle in such places
 Asked as to the conditions in other cities. MT O'Donne1l said that the BrfdEeport lodging houses were the worst he had encountered, though he found that the other Connecticut cit ies were on more or less the same footing as regards the difficulties of

BRIDGEPORT LODGING HOUSES
 MENACE 10 PUBLIC HEALTH
 SAYS NEW HAVEN OFFICIAL

Keeping up proper inspection, because in every instance the cities fail to appropriate sufficient funds for persis- tent investigation. ss' Here in Bridgeport" said he, you have one man for the entire, city. One man would have plenty to do handling nothing but tenement houses. Here the conditions are such that tenement houses are not visited, as I understand it, unless there is a complaint calling for a special investigations There ought to be one man attending to nothing but the yards
 Mr. O'DonneH talked Interestingly of the cooperation of various depart ments of the city government in his city. towards enforcing the sanitary regulations. This is along the line of endeavor recently taken up by the Bridgeport Board of Health.
 'In New Haven said he, the po- lice, fire and health departments work in harmony. The new chief of police. Chief Smith, has issued orders to the various captains of police to cooperate with the Health depart ment. The same is true in the fire department. An inspector who finds bad conditions may report them to the nearest. fire captain, who will see that they are remedied, if they are such as bring them within the prov ince of. the fire department.
 
 cd of enforcing the Health ordinance in his city He has been connected with the department for 10 years and is especially assigned to tenement house investigation.
 ''I cover a certain section" said he, by way of illustration. When I find g. condition that requires a change, I. point out to the offender the fene- ment house rules, and tell what must be done. If within 20. days the order is not carried out, we refer the mat ter to the prosecuting authorities. That does not mean that the offender is dragged into court. He sends a letter stating that if attention is not given to the matter at once, the of- fender will be prosecuted. When sew en days have elapsed, the prosecuting attorney issues subpoenas and some times as many Is or 20 are brought into his office during single after noon and given final warning. Then. if the order Is not complied with, ar rest follows, and the courts, knowing the ample opportunity given the of lenders, deal strongly with them.
 f.The heaviest penalty imposed in any of our health prosecutions in New Haven was by Judge Frank l.. Wilder of the Bridgeport City court bench. Judge Wilder was sitting in the New and he imposed fine of $50 in each of them. Appeals were taken, but jury of the common pleas court sus tained the conviction and the sano penalties were imposed"

held from those places. Whenever
possible friends of stricken families
took care of bodies and had them pre-.
