Most people who know Miss Forbes
and what she has done probably
would think that all OF her time is
occupied with histrionic endeavor-
but she said Tuesday at the Winecoft
that she gave about az much time to
the study of woman suffrage and in
working out plans for the emancipa-
ton of the American woman as she
does to her stage work
Miss Forbes gave the cause" her
enthusiastic Endorsement, and de-
clared that every woman in America
should be eager to work for their
rights She thinks. in common with
intelligent women all over the coun-
try, that the American woman is as
well fitted, mentally and morally. to
vote as is her self styled lord and
MASTER And what is more. she be-
lieves that the men OF America are
fast becoming converted, and that
very soon women win vote from San

Of Interest in

NEW BRITAIN'S DEBT.

According to the annual report or
 ity Treasurer Chamberlain the net
 debtedness of New Britain at the be-
 Inning of the present fiscal year was B.019, 9,83s.64, which issan increase of 72,O2O.37 The increase the sink hg funds is s7o.479.73, making the btal amount in the various funds now 345, ,66136.
 The indebtedness is not large when he assets of the city are considered mich foot up more than double that
 nm. The largest individual depart bent debt is the water board which yves $1,175,OO0 and it is this depart nent which has the next issue of onds coming due, the amount being 200, 1000, the year is 1918, and at resent it has $132,424.42 in the sink ng fund with which to meet them. his department has been paying arge sums into the sinking fund, hav- ng paid $35,O0O last year.
 The sewer department has an in- 9ebtedness of A$1,025.O00, in 1918 it las q bond issue of $1O0.0O0 coming ue and has at present $129.982.93 With which to meet it, so that it can 3eadily be seen that the city will be yell able to meet it's bonded obliga- ions when they mature. In the
 ase of schools and subways the i'm lebtedness is of a serial nature, a certain sum being paid every year.
 Aside from schools New Britain will loon be in a fair way to reduce it's Indebtedness because there are no other undertakings in sight to re- 4uire large expenditures of money. Fhe city has passed through it's most Irving periods, the sewer and water Departments having required large Sums for improvements which could hot be avoided and which were ab- folutely necessary The schools will Rlways require increased appropria- lions as the school population in- freases, and as educational improve |ments require. These cannot be avoided. but taken as a whole New Britain is pretty well off in every way.

Why Socrates Drank.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Socrates had been condemned to death, and his disciples were gath cred around him. The fatal cup of hemlock. was at his elbow.
 He smiled, raised the goblet, and spoke gently and wisely of Immor- tality. In the deep silence that greeted his words nothing could be heard but the busy scratching of Plato's pen, as he saved this dandy copy for posterity.
 Then, as Socrates raised the cup to his lips a sob broke the silence
 .'Why, how is it with thee, Crito ?'' asked the master. Why weepest thou?''
 "Ah. Master" replied Crito brok- enly, "ah that thou shouldst have such bitter draught to drain!'
 t.Be of good cheer, my Crito,' '' smiled Socrates. Where is thy philosophy? Think you-it might have been one of these coffee sub- stitutes which are being advertised about Athens!'
 And the cup might have contained nectar so eagerly did he, toss it off!

PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

The New London Day publishes a. very sensible article on "The Salaries of Primary School Teachers in which lt says that such teachers are now Ibe1ng recognized as being just as inn |portant a factor in the machinery of ehucatian 'I as the instructor in the grammar grades or the High school and they have come to be little bet ter paid than formerly
 When the question of increasing the Isalary of the New Britain High school principal cameaup several years ago Secretary Hine of the state board of Education said that he would rather see the principal of one of the graded schools given the money, and, upon being asked for his reason, said, that hef work was the more important. This did not mean that her work re- Guired more educational training than the High school principals work did, but that she had scholars who would never see the. inside of the High SGiiOOi q HI dil s<InS euuCaI10f1 they would ever receive would be that re- ceived in the graded school. He said at thestime that only about five per cent or the scholars ever received a High school training, that it was quite important that the remaining ninety five per cent. have better teachers and 1t is very difficult to find any holes ir that statement.
 The High school has it's place in education but it is optional with a town whether it has such school or not, but there is no such option with regard to the graded schools The great value of the latter cannot be overestimated; they are thes natura growth, of the primary system, are the foundation on which a large par Sof the success of the state must rest and it is quite important that the bes Teachers should be employed there ana there is no question but that they should be properly compensated.

dispose of it in such manner as did not endanger public health and did not arouse the anger of his neighbors. It has had trouble with it's collectors, be- ginning with George Brown of Der. lin and afterwards with James Rog- CTS. The latter took the contract for two years at $1 1000 a year, found he was unable to perform the work sat- will remember the dispute that was raised over his bond which, by the way, was not called. That was under the old system of government and when consolidation went into effect the contract price was increased to $1,70O and the following Year it went up to $2,5OO and the complaints con- tinued to come in until the, city paid more money and the collector found that he was able to get by on his all lowance. "
 It is now proposed to eliminate the
 
 private collectors, about whom the greater part of the corHplaints are made and the work is to be done for $2,95O. It does not seem as if that can be done with past experiences to judge by, but the city is informed that the collector is going into the pig business, will feed his stock on gar bage and what he may lose on the collection he will more than make up on the hogs. The arrangement sounds reasonable enough and he may make a success of it, but if he doesn't the city will find itself in a most un- pleasant predicament. It can, of course, call for the collectors bond, but in the meantime the garbage will remain uncollected and there will be general indignation throughout the city. New Britain has evidently em- parked on a peculiar voyage which may land the board of health in a safe harbor or it's garbage ship may be wrecked. Let us hope it may have good sailing and pleasant trip and that Furman's pigs may like their food and thrive upon it.

Criticising the Mayor.

4
 New Britain's new mayor is re- ceiving some criticism because news paper reporters were excluded from a meeting of the board of charities in that city at which the board asked for the resignation of the superin- tendent of the town home. Under the circumstances the criticism seeE.s to be just. The board of charities is a public board elected to transact the public business and it should. not go into executive session to take up the matter of getting rid of the Snpn-ir- : tendent of the town home, and espe- cialIy as this particular supe. ln,s.,,t- ent was under fire some time ago and at that time was stoutly defend- ed by the board of charities. He has recently signed a contract to work for the city for another year but it is now proposed to get rid of him. The whole matter should have been taken up in the open and not be- hind closed doors so that the public could see just what was done. There are matters that come before the board of charities such as the cases of the poor which should never be aired in the public press, but getting rid of a superintendent of town home is different matter and ougkr to be given the fullest publicity.
