One was thrown out because it did not have the required certified check. In- stead Of 6 cheek there was bond and the committee did not feel that under the terms of the specifications this bid could be considered. The bid was by Lewis A Miller, of Meriden. The bids ranged from sf23.500 to S165.566. There were several alternatives in each bid for brick wainscot, copper. glass. and other things which had 10 be considered in connection with the general bid. Bids were also received and opened for the heating, vacuum cleaning and heat regulating. Rep yesentatiyes of most all the bidders were on hand at the rooms of the Will iimantic Board Of Trade and Business Mems Association, Incorporated, when the bids weTe opened. After the va rious bids had been read the commit Mrs aHHOuhGtu lhdt IL WOHu bO lbbo executive session for the purpose of considering the bids. For the erection Of the building only four Of the bids were considered. They were from The Fenton Charnley Building Com pany. of Norwich the Shaefer Con struction Company, of New York. Jo- seph A. Dolan, of New London, and Tracy Brothers, Of Waterbury.
 After several hours of deliberation Che building committee awarded the contract for the erection of the high echool to the Fenton and Charnley Building Company. of Norwich. The trouble with the bids was that they were too high for the appropriation which the committee had for the erec- tion of the building The committee WAS able to shave off enough on the proposed building to reduce the bid from st23,500 to s115.000.

TN these days there is too
much bewilderment in va
riety Of amusements and
great danger in confusing pleas
ure with excitement and making
it a pursuit. No matter what
the cost may be, in health, time
or money, plea is pursued
with a sustained effort and en-
ergy worthy Of better aims, and
in spite Of difficulties, obstacles
and dangers to life and, it may
be said, to manners and morals.
For with this rage for amuse-
ment has come the temptation to
lower moral standards. This
seems TO be the besetting sin
of society. 1t affiicts the young
er generation as we'll as the old
er. In fact, the danger is espe-
cially to the young people.
Youth is the time for gaining
ideals, fixing standards. Parents
can give an enduring happiness
to their children by keeping them
unhampered by too many pleas-
ures. too many opportunities, too
much theater going, too many
rushing trips abroad, too lavish
an expenditure of money.

A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
dlLor The Georgian

Editor The Georgian:
In my opinion the very inter
estinE suggestions OF Mr. z. A.
Jones, appearing in your issue
OF Saturday, relative to County
Attorneys, might be added to in
the following respects with great
benefit to our procedure, the en-
forcement of Law, and the proper
protection Of our people:
In sbolishing the present Of
ice of Solicitor General with its
too large field of several coun-
ties. let there be in each county
instead not only . Public Prose
cutor, but q Public Defender as
well. This would assure every
person accused OF crime an equal
opportunity with the state of
making proper presentation OF his
case in the trial court
Then let 1t be further provided
that should the defendant engage
additional counsel that the State
engage similar assistance at an
expense equal to that of the de-
PENDANT, the cost Of this add
tional counsel on both sides to be
paid by the losing party, that
is by the State il the defendant IS
acquitted, and by the defendant
II he is convicted.
Thus again would equality be
assured. IN so far as possible, be-
tween the State and the defend
ant in the presentation of their
cases, and the tremendous advan-
tsge enjoyed by the wealthy Grim
inal under our present procedure
would be done away with.
This system would inevitably
abolish in the trial OF important
criminal cases many OF the de-
lays encountered at present. II
would work justice in making
the guilty person pay the added
cost OF his own conviction, and
in relieving the innocently &C
cused Of the burden Of expense he
