WON'T ENDORSE

 and Apparatus.

The fire commissioners turned down datly the recommendation of Chief Mooney last night, that another com. bination pumping engine be purchased and also his report that more men be added to Chemical Go. No. 2. com manded bysCapta1n M. J. Daley.
 When Clerk Hall had read a com munication from Chief Mooney in which the requests were made Presi-s dent John A. Leonard Immediately more men in Captain Daileys com pany at this time. He said money was needed for other requirements of the departmen ent and none could be spared to place more men with Captain Dai- ley.
 He referred to Chief Moneys re- Equest for a combination pumping ap- papatus as a stbugbear', from which the chief has suffered for the last three years. commissioners Cassidy, Tague and Lindquist coincided with the views of President Leonard.
 The main objection of the eornmis- sioners to the combination motor is that much valuable time is lost in lay ing hose and driving back to the hy- drant to couple the pumps. Chief commissioners to the fact that most Ref the apparatus in the Hartford, Springfield and New Haven fire de- apartments is of the combination char Eacter and this apparatus gives sat1s- faction in these three cities.

NEW SCHOOL HEAD
 PLANS CHANGES IN
 COURSES OF STUDY
Intinates Ideas of His Own Will Be Put Into Effect
 Under His Rule.

Infimations that a study of the school system in Bridgeport has caused him to determine to make changes here, were made last night by Samuel J. S1awson. new superin- tendent of the Bridgeport schools, when he was among the guests at q banquet given by President Elmer H. Ravens of the board of education.
 Tn a address carefully worded, but nevertheless denoting a spirit of In dependence. MT. SiawSon outlined his policies and beliefs. As result of his address, changes are looked for when he is in charge of the schools. a
 Not all boys should study Latin declared MT. Slawson. implying that study of certain subjects will not be continued and that vocational work will be given attention. He said in part:
 ~Dr Deane and I agree upon the Fundamental principals of Education If any one is expecting revolutionary methods, let him cease to expect such things. No revo1utionary methods will be inaugurated- There will be changes, but they will be minor in importance compared with tue gen eraI volume of work.
 "But changes must come, because, in the third place, am not coming here with any expectation of trying to innpeES0nate Dr. Deane. His great strength here has been his personal ity, his Individuality. so my person. ality and my individuality must have sway and freedom of exercise. In the administrative apacity which Dr. DeaIe has so long exercised. certain general principles have become es- sentially Deane. and acting in the same capacity, certain general prin- cfpIes must become essentially SlaW- son. If in these we should have diff ferent view points. then I am not an tagonfzing Dr. Deane when exercise my rights as the leader directing the ! forces toward my point of view. The stressing and enforcing of my opin- I ions are but the free exercise of my rights in the establishing of my in
 dividua1itys and initiative in my per sonaI obligations and in this connec- 1 ton shall recognize ana encourage
 the same spirit in pupil. teacher, pTfn- cipaL supervisor, members of the 1 board, in all who share the respon-
 abilities.
 ttI ana not coming with the hope or
 purpose of eliminating any phases of l academic study as studies nor the
 substitution therefore the much dis 1 cussed and little understood voca- tional or industrial work, but rather it will be my problem to adjust these
 studies to the needs of individuals
 neither should all boys be encouraged
 to pursue to any great degree sub- 1 jects of industrial training. yet to different ones these subjects have Eequal training and utiIitarian value T What is true with reference to the studies of boys is equally true with reference to the studies of girls
