Converse, Miss King, MT. Frazier. Cheney Bros. of South Manchester have presented to the high school a set of stereographic pictures relating to the silk industry in their plant. This is an excellent set and is greatly appreciated by the school.
 At the last meeting of the school committee the special committee appointed to investigate the advisa. bility of employing superintendent of schools reported progress. The school board does not take kindly to the idea of combining the duties of the superintendent and principal of the high school, as has been suggested, as it is estimated that it would in. crease the school expenses $1 ,OOO a year. The plan of reducing the num- Der of teachers in town by three, in order to combine with another town to form a supervision district and get an appropriation from the state to help pay the superintendent s salary, also does not meet with approval by the board. The need of school supervision is acknowledged but the committee questions the advisability of increasing the cost of schools at present. It looks as if Stafford would not have school super. vision in the near future, but it is bound to come in time. The oom- mittee has made 8 good move in deciding to require a regular meet ing of the teachers of the town with the principal of the high school once month for the purpose of con- sultation and suggestion for better ways and means of instruction.

pernieious Speed Doctrine.

In the open country.", says the Waterbury American, discussing auto mobile speed laws, "with the ruud clear for long distances, there is no danger in speeding up at any rate that the machine is caple of making.
 Here is an example of prrnicious, death dealing speed doctrine, the kind of false belief that leaus scores of driv. CTS and occupants Of machines to their death, and deals death and destruction to innocent sufferers who come in the way of the speeders.
 There is no public road in Connecti. cut that is "clear for long distance" in fact, though it may be at times to the eye.
 To be clear for long distance. SO as to permit of such speed as the Water. bury Iaper speaks or, road must ful. fill remarkable number of require. ments. It must have no cross. roads It must have no bends or turns. It must have no other vehicles upon it.. It must have no houses from which people can appear. It must have no driveways from which vehicles can turn into it. 1t must have no open lots or fields from which teams can be driven into it.
 A road which does not meet all of these requirements cannot be said to be "clear" within the knowledge of driver of fast-speeding vehicle. If crossroads exist, he has not the slight est guarantee that vehicles will not come suddenly out of them, and hay. ing little or no control of his own ve. hicle at such high speed, he may not avoid hitting them. If other vehicles or pedestrians are in the road, he can. not know that they will not turn in front of his machine, nor that his ma. chine will not skid or veer slightly and hit them. If there are bend in the road he cannot tell what is around them. If thore are driyeways, he can. not tell that vehicles will not come out of them at moment when it will be impossible to avoid accident.
 There is only one kind of road in the world that meets these requirements, and that is an automobile speedway, banked, roped of, and devoted to the sole purpose of automobile speeding. And even this is not safe unless it is policed, as bitter experience too often has shown.
 And after all this, a speed of 10 or 90 miles an hour takes no thought of the safety of the occupants of the car. If we had less of this pernicious speed doctrine and laws that more nearly resembled those of the. communities in which there are no automobile acc cidents, we should be much better off.

Happiness.

Happiness is the shortest distance between two disappointments. 1t is the background of hope, the reaction from despair and the illusion of for getfulness.
 Happiness is the brief moment after something attained. It is something we remember to have had after it has gone.
 Happiness is what we often envy in others, who make Us think they have it. It is q transient in the house of your mind who is gone before you have shown him to his room.
 You are always waiting for his com ing. When he comes you never know how to treat him.--Life.

Un-scrambIing the Canaers.

Un-scrambing the Canaers.
 Canaan and New Canaan aren't the only two towns in Connecticut that gel mixed up with each other. Oh no Milford and New Milford also gel mixed aud mixed with greater degree of frequency than either the home of Johnny Hersham or the abode of Johnny Rodemeyer
 Of late the hairy Johnny and the baldheaded Johnny have heen "ahus- ing" each other in the columns of their respective papers and tEe entire news paper fraternity of the state have been amused at their antics.
 But as for the mixup-The latest miSup in the towns of Milford and New Milford has teen concocted by u Bridgeport newspaper. 1t is altogether to be regretted that the newspaper erred ill the article in question. The article stated that the Warner Bros company of Bridgeport would oren a department in Milford in the building formerly occupied by the Nichols Underwear company and that 100 Nil lOIAl Dtbllt liuAl bGth SbEhKNA NAl MNlh in the new, department. Too bad! TCo bad The inhabitants of Milford won dered just where this new department was 70 be located. The oldest inhab'- - tant had never heard of the Nichols Underwear company's building in Milford and neither had anyone else. AS matter of fact the company never had a building in Milford but they did have one in New Milford.
 The only way out of the difficulty is to change the name of either Milford or New Milford. Then merchants in both towns would not abuse the Eng. fish language when goods expected in one town landed in the other or when newspapers credited one town with getting something that was going to the other fellow.
 New Canaan has been called the "Next station to Heaven" while Ca naan struggled along for some time without any synonym. Now it has been suggested that it would be easier to change the name os New Canaan than that of Old Canaan and as New Canaan is known as the Next Station" to place where everyone hopes to eventually visit, it might be appro- priate to rechristen New Canaan and call it 'PurgatoIy.
 Canaan folks would doubtless be agreeable to this new name but there might be some objections from the town fathers of New Canaan. Now Milford hasn't name or title other than Milford and it isn't known whether or not New Milford is known by anything outside of reflected glory from Old Milford, so the re-christening idea seems to be "In statu quo" as re. gards these two towns. Probably some of the wise men of the state can hand little advice hitherward regarding the dilemma. Milford Advertiser.
