Sandy Hook, Conn.,, Nov. 20-The
incendiary fire in Zoar last week by
which the M. Chisrak barn was burn
ed to the ground in broad daylight
has aroused the neighborhood. A
vigilance committee has been formed
under the leadership of Alexander AL
len, and nightly patrol Of the neigh

scare has spread to Sandy Hook, and
it's inhabitants for the first time in
the memory Of the Oldest, see person
ally to locking doors and fastening
window catches Of their dwelling,
and padlocking doors of barns and
outbuildings before retiring.
The fear of burglars, and things
has become almost mania, since the
large influx of strangers in their
midst, brought here by recent indus
trial operations. These apprehens1ons
are groundless in the opinion of Sher-
if Morris D. Beers, but nevertheless
life is made miserable for him as we'll

Last Tuesday night Frank Banks
returning from the store where he
was employed saw lights in the win
dows Of the Whitlock residence, the
owners of which are visiting in
Bridgeport for the winter. Banks was
sure robbers were at work and rushed
for the sheriff's home. Taking a cou-
pie Of pairs of handouts and his
+>-,,e
informant ran all the way to Park
Lane, expecting to round up at least
brace of midnight marauders in the
act of robbery. Pushing open the
door both rushed in and in the circle
of light thrown by the flashlight they
saw Mrs. Luther Turner on her knees
lacking a carpet on the floor while
her husband reposed beneath the
blankets in an adjoining bedroom.
The dwelling had been rented that
day from the Whitlocks by the Turn
ers who had just moved in.
The sheriff hot and perspiring from
his chase grew hot in the collar by
this time, but Banks slipped away to
his home and thus prevented an out
burst of righteous indignation from
the baffled sheriff. But that occur
renee was only a flash in the pan to
the happening Friday night to Con-
stable q. J. Thrall. About midnight
he was aroused by a changing tele-
phone from the central office that a
gang Of burglars were ransacking the
residence Of M. A. Corbett of Corbett
& Grove, and posse should be organ
lied at once and surround the house.
The doughty constable, his brother-in
law, Morgan and other volunteers
armed with shot guns rushed to the
scene. Sure enough electric flash
lights shone at intervals from both
floors and. cellar of the home as the
officers of the law approached. Form
ing wedge they stormed the back
door which yielded to the onrush,
precipitating the whole force in a con-
fused mass on the kitchen floor The
noise brought the owner on the scene

TEACHERS.

There is a pretty good story going
about town about how some school
teachers "did'' the Consolidated road.
Nobody appears to condemn them for
doing it. 1t takes a pretty shrewd
person to get the better of the railroad
officials at any time and anyone who
succeeds in doing it generally wins
public applause rather than condem-
nation. But that it should be done
and practiced by school teachers,
w:ao have, the guiding Of our young,
gives the story spice and excites more
than ordinary attention.
The course of lectures delivered for
teachers at the Yale university every
Saturday is attended by teachers all
about the state. The Bridgeport teach
ers-the majority of them-attend
the lectures with others Perhaps as
a partial inducement, the Consolidat-
ed road offers the teachers of the state
one-half fare one way to attend lee
lures.
The story goes that one of the local
teachers told the conductor on her
way home from New Haven that she
was entitled to pass on half fare as
she was a school teacher attending
the lectures at Yale. She did not ex-
plain that she had paid half fare to
New Haven. Instead she gave him to
understand that she had paid full
fare. The artful teachag schemer ex-
planned the plan to her associates.
She said. she had got the tip from a
teacher who lives Hartford way, who
worked it. The thing was simple
enough, she said, because there is al
ways another conductor on the trains
going home.
Of course the other teachers tried
the dodge and were amazed to see
how easily it worked. The thing leak
ed out some way and is very much
discussed and laughed over in some
quarters. Whether the Consolidated
road officials were first to ''get on to
the curve or whether the thing. was
given away" by one of the conscience
stricken teachers is not known

BETTER TEACHERS
FOR RURAL SCHOOLS

(By J. L. McBrien School Extension
Agent, U. S. Bureau of Education,
Department of the Interior.)
The rural schools of the United
States are in sore need of better quail
fed teachers. AT least one-third of
the rural teachers for the country at
large have no professional training,
The average scholarship of this class
of unframed teachers is little more
than an eighth grade education. There
are $4,000 one-teacher rural schools
In the United States. It is conserva-
tive, therefore, to say that there are
10000 rural teachers in this country
with only elementary education and
no professional training. There is
one state in the Union that has over
1000 teachers, with only a seventh
grade education and no professional
training, in charge of it's rural schools
this year. There are several states
that number their rural teachers in
this class by the thousand and there
are many states that count their rural
teachers in this class by the hundred.
Another third Of the rural teachers
of the United States have only limit
ed amount Of professional training
and on an average their scholarship
is not above the tenth grade, that is,
two-year high school education be-
yond the eighth grade. There are at
least 10000 teachers in this class.
A majority of the remaining one
third Of the rural teachers Of our
country have on the average only
four-year high school education which
includes from one to two years attend
ance at State normal school or the
professional work given in the junior
and senior years in Misunderstanding
high schools. or several summer terms
at summer schools for teachers.
These are the conditions that face
us in the qualifications of our rural
teachers. The problem that confronts
us is how to improve these conditions
1t is the purpose of the Bureau of
Education to issue series of talks in
an effort to show the country how to
solve this most important problem in
American education to-day The fact
that we have over 10000 teachers
without adequate preparation for
| their work is enough to arouse the
public mind on this question to such
degree that within the next decade
we shall have a sufficient number of
teachers with adequate training for
every rural school in the United
States.

Of autonomy under Russian sover-

cial announcement issued today de-
nouncing the Austro-German procla-

as an effort to swell the ranks of the
Teutonic armies. The statement reads:
The German and Austro-Hunga
ian governments, taking advantage of
the temporary occupation by their

tory, have proclaimed the separation

Empire and their constitution as an

enemies evidently is to obtain an addi-

part Of Germany and Austria Hungary
a. q fresh. gross infringement by our
enemies Of the fundamental princi-
pies OF international law which pro-
lhtbit the population in military-occu-
pied territory being forced to raise
armies against it's own country. The
Imperial government regards this ac-
ton as null and void.

war, has twice previously expressed
her views on the entire Polish ques-

Owners of Destroyed -
Houses Must Rebuild

Amsterdam, Nov. 20-According to
the TELEGRAPH, the Germans have or
dered the owners of houses which
were wrecked in Dinant, in August,
1914, to rebuild as rapidly as possible.
If they are unwilling to re-erect their
houses they must remove the wreck
age and make the site into a garden.
The town of Dinant, the Telegram
says, has been ordered to rebuild the
belfry Of the church toward which
the Germans offer a subsidy of 600
pounds from the Belgian government.

Why should they? AS a competing
road it is not worth "shucks,' as an
investment to any one. The New Ha-
veners have an idea they do not get
their share of the business of the Maui
gatuck Valley by the present road,
but Bridgeport people think we do
not get the share that Bridgeport is
entitled to. If time and distance are
points to be gained, New Haven will
derive no advantag es over Bridgeport
by the new road.
