(SpeciaI to The BulletinD

New London, April 7.-The optomis- tice ideas of Captain Thomas A. Scott were generally discredited when he, as alderman from the fifth ward, cham DiOned a new school house to take the place of the crude old Harbor sCnOOl, and insisted that it be a big one of the S1O0,OOO class. He claimed that the biggest kind of schoOlhouse would be none too big in the near fu- ture to accommodate the children of school age in that section of the city. The captain alderman was correct. It 1t now less than ten years since that SchOOlhOuSe was erected and there has been congestion there for half of that period. Something must be done to relieve il and now the school commit tee are urging the erection of another sChoolhouse in the near vicinity. The site has been selected in Linden street, which is about midway between the Nameaug and the Harbor schools, and the school committee has asked the court of common council to recommend an appropriation of $650O for the purchase of the site.

site has been selected ln Linden street, which is about midway between the Nameaug and the Harbor schools, and the school committee has asked the court of common council to recommend an appropriation of $6500 for the purchase of the site.
 The proposition would probably have received favorable action, had not an alderman suggested postpone ment for investigation, claiming that a p2rOchial school was to be established in St. Joseph's parish, and that if that were so, the congestion would be re- lieved and the city relieved of a big expenditure of money for the site and the new schooIhouse and the main tenance thereof This method of say ing money to the city, just at this time, was given the kibOSh when the parish priest announced that the people of the new parish had already erected a beautiful church and are paying for it at a personal sacrifice, and were not yet prepared to take on an additional financial burden The time will come: but not just yet
 There sure is need of additional school facilities in the fifth ward, and for that matter, in every other ward in the city. The parOchial school in St Mary's parish cares for the educa- tion of over five hundred children, and at no expense to the GUY or NeW Lon London. The parents of these children cheerfully contribute their full share of taxation for the support of the pub lie schools, from which their children get no benefit, until they pass into the high schools. It is expected that at the next council meeting the real start will be made for another public school in the fifth ward, just as the captain alderman predicted. Great Scotti

This large and convenient property is at present unoccupied, and it is be- heved will be placed at the disposal of the adults representing the pupils for the purpose requested, for the coming summer at least. This ex- tensive property was owned by the late Frank and Sebastian Lawrence and Is now a part Of the Lawrence gift to the Lawrence Free Hospital association, and is under the control

ASK COUNTIES AID
IN GASOLINE PROBE
Attorney General Appeals 10 Attorncys
Over state To Ascertain
Price of Oil.
Special to The World.

Speclal TO The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. July 26-
County attorneys IN the II counties of
the state were today asked by the at
torney general to assist in the state
wide probe of gasoline prices, to be
started by the attorney general An
gust y. Each county attorney is
asked to ascertain the price of gaso-
nne, wholesale and retail, for the past
sixty days; to also learn from what
refineries the oil is purchased and the
freight charges in transporting the oil.
with such information from every
county attorney in the state the at
torneS general believes that condi-
tons may be clearly placed before the
corporation commission, which tri-
bunal is called upon to establish uni
form price of gasoline in the stase
not to exceed II cents n gallon.
Determination to ascertain why tn
price of gasoline has been rising came
following numerous complaints that
pave been sent to the governor, the
corporation commission and the at
torncy-generars office from every see
tlon of the state. In some plaes the
retail price has gone to 2S cents Il
gallon. This is believed to be alb
Horma'ly high and not justified by
any condition that exists in the gasO-
line trade.
