SEPARATION ADVOCATES
 EXPECT TO WIN
Doing Effective Work on the Quiet Is
 Report in Hartford.
Especial to The Bul1etin.)


 Hartford March 24-Among the last of the legislative hearings will be that which concerns the separation of the town of Norwich, which is assigned for next Tuesday afternoon before the committee on new towns and probate districts, and will be held in the hall of the house of representatives, to ac- commodate the large number of in terested citizens that are expected to be present. Already there is familiar ity with the situation that is SurpriS- ing, for among the men who are prom inent in shaping legislation the mat ter is being discussed and the trend seems to favor separation. This in dicates that the advocates of separa- tion have been getting near to the leg islative directors who are supposed to have influence. with the legislators, although having no direct voice or vote either in the house or the senate. The lobbyists, or rather those who say a word here and a word there in favor of measure in which they have no personal interest, have already com n7enced the buttonholing game on the separation question and claim their influence will be manifested when a vote is taken on the matter.
 Therefore it would be well for the opponents of the measure to produce convincing arguments to the commit tee, so strong, that it would be near the danger point for the committee to make favorable report on the prop osition. Much gum shoe work has al- ready been accomplished by the advo cates of separation, and so secretly, that their personality has not been revealed. One who is recognized as a legislative power said: "1 don't know much about the Norwich situation, but I do know that there is a growing sen timent at the capitol in favor of sep aration; and we hope to win. It will be among the last legislative matters to be acted upon and, my word for it, there is something doing, and more will be done to get a vote favorable to the separation scheme. How does the senator and representatives from Norwich stand on the question? You don't know? Well we'll try to find out Of course if they stand out against separation, we will have some uphill work. but we expect to get there just the same"

WRITES ANOTHER BOOK.
Rev. p. J. Mccormick, S, T. L. Ph. D., Professor at Catholic University, Native of Norwich, Wins Praise For History of Education.

Rev. Patrick J. Mccormick, $. T. l.. Ph- D., professor in the Catholic University of America, at Washington, has written a new book which the critics are commenting highly. Rev. Father Mccormick is a native of Nor wich, where his mother, Mrs. Daniel Mccormick and other relativecs live on Fifth street. Father Mccormick is associate professor of education at the Catholic university.
 His new history, as its subtitle de- notes is a survey of the development of educational theory and practice in ancient, medieval and modern times Its dedication, too, is of local interest, since it is as follows:
 To the Rt. Rev. Thomas Joseph Shahan, D. D., Bishop of Germanico- polls, rector of the Catholic Univer- sity of America; whose encouragement and scholarly direction through many years the author gratefully acknowl- edges.
 The book has the fine compliment of Pace, Ph. D., S. T. D., ILL. D., pro- lessor of philosophy in the Catholic university, one of the foremost scholars not only of America, but of the world. Furthermore, it has the of ficial sanction of His Eninence, Car dinal Gibbons.
 Ancient education, in China, Japan, Egypt, India, Persia, among the Sem itic Peoples, Greek and Roman edu- cation, are reviewed comprehensively, yet concisely. Early Christian edu- cation, the work of the Fathers of the Church, Medieval education in it's va rious ranifications and phases; edu- cation during the period of the Renaissance and Reformation, and during the Catholic Reaction; modern education in it's multipleX divisions and sub- divisions, through the devel- opment of modern school systems, are covered by the author with surety and ability which are the best index of his painstaking, broad and accurate study and research.
 Of the book leading New York pa- per says:
 The brief History of Education" by Prof. Patrick J. Mccormick (The Catholic Education Press, Washing ton) is an admirable clear outline, de- signed as an introduction to more comprehensive volumes on different periods. The first half of the volume, dealing with ancient and medieval teaching is common ground on which all educators can meet. From the Ref ormation on the fairness in notice able with which the achievements of men of Q, different faith are described, while the book has the advantage over other pedagogical historiesofdo- ing justice to the great educational work done by Catholics in the same period. In more modern times the au- thor restricts himself to explaining the theories of noted educators of all nationalities and to accounts of the school systems of the chief countries of the world. The volume is one of a Pedagogical SerieS'' issued by the Catholic university.

his opinion that the property had been damaged to the extent of $3,000 by the change in grade, giving the more difficult accessibility to the houses as the basis of the estimate. The witness said that he took great interest in trees, especially shade trees, and from his observation of the condition of the trees in front of the Hilliar property they were likely to blow over in a gale and fall over on the Hilliar property, because the roots had been cut deep ly. In his opinion the life of the trees had been shortened materially by the cutting of the roots.
 Testimony for Defendant.
 The plaintiff rested at this point wood, treasurer of the Mariners Sav- ings bank, as its first witness. MT. Harwood stated that as treasurer of the bank he was called upon to place valuations on property for loans. The witness testified to being familiar with the EIilliar property before and after the sidewalk was laid and his answer that the property had been generally improved by the laying of the walks was ordered stricken out on the objection of Attorney Hadlai A. Hull, counsel for the plaintiff. bas- the point at issue was not whether the sidewalk had improved the prop erty, but whether the property was damaged by cutting down the side walk elevation, the sidewalk of itself being naturally an improvement. MT. Harwood testified that in his opinion the property had not been damaged by cutting down the grade and that the adding of three or four steps to a flight of about the same number made no material difference in the value of the property.
 George Whittlesey, John Brown, Frank V. Chappell. A. T. Miner Simon L. Ewald, all testified that the prop erty had not been damaged, but rather had been benefited by the changes.
 John J. Ryan, stone mason; Joseph A. Dolan, contractor; George K. Gran dall, civil engineer; Highway Corn- missioner Courtland R. Darrow. tes- tified that while a portion of the re- tainipg wall on the Hilliar property had fallen. the excavating done by the city at the time of laying the walks was not responsible.
