OF LOCAL SCHOOLS
EXPRESS THEIR DEEP REGRETS
Pay Glowing Tribute to Professor H. w. Sinner, and Speak in
Highly Commendatory Language of His Successful Admin
istratiOn of the Affairs of the School.
Shakespeare Favorite in Local High School

In the successful administration of
the affairs of any complicated system,
two qualifications are absolutely nee
essary. The first is a technical know
ledge of the work being done by the
system; the second is a sympathetic
understanding of the many men and
women upon whose loyalty and indus
try so much of the efficiency of the
system depends. The second qualifi-
cation is much finer than the first; it
demands a bigness of character and
broadmindedness not necessarily i'm
piled in the first.
A third qualification of the admin
istrator is well expressed in the Ian
guage of a world-renowned poet:
"Give to every man thine ear, but
to few thy voice."
If to knowledge, understanding of
human nature and discretion, there be
added the strength that overcomes
and is not disheartened by obstacles;
courage and cheer in meeting the diff
ficulties of each day; and the large
outlook for ones task, the Vision
which is so potent a factor in a strong
personality and which inspires big
INSTRUMENTATION, indeed, Progress
follows.
All of these qualities we have felt
in u association with Superintendent
Sinner, and it is with sincere regret
that we have learned that he is about
to resign from his position as head of
our school system. 1t gives us pleas
ure to make known by means of this
little tribute our appreciation of his
work among US.

Most Eccentric Preacher
That Ever Lived

Perhaps the most eccentric preacher
that ever lived was Lorenzo Dow. He
was born at Coventry, Conn, in 1777,
the year during which many battles IF
the Revolutionary War We're fought.
When he was only four years old, it is
said, strong religious impressions
were made upon his mind; but he later
drifted into bad company. While the
Rev. Hope Hull, one of the pioneer
Methodist preachers, was preaching,
he pointed his finger at Dow. who was
a reckless youth. and said: Sinner,
there is a frowning Providence above
your head, and burning hell beneath
your feet, and nothing but the brittle
thread Of life prevents your soul from
falling into endless perdition." Blu
says the sinner, "what must ] do"
"You must pray" ''But / can't pray"
"Then, if you don't pray you will be
damned" and as he said this the
preacher stamped his foot. Dow said;

caught hold of my cousin by my side
for fear | would fall into hell lie
had many inward struggles, was
greatly distressed by terrible dreams,
ard at one time he thought he was
reprobate and started to commit sui
side; but he was finally converted and
had great peace of mind.
At the age of Is he felt called TO
preach the gospel, but at first he
shrank from such a responsibility.
When he later yielded to the call, and
sought admission into a Methodist
conference, such We're his eccentric
habits that the conference was slow
to receive him on trial. His personal
appearance was very striking. He
wore long hair and a long, flowing
beard and he moved about in such
peculiar, mysterious manner that he
was regarded as little less than pro-
phet by the multitudes who were al
ways eager to hear him. Sometimes he
would rush into the pulpit, pull out his

HAVE you WRITTEN
TO PRESIDENT WILSON

We are solemnly serious about every
farmer, every railroad employee, every
worker in the mills, and every head of
a family writing the president at
once. Address him Dear Mr.. Presi-
dent" and send your letter to Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, The White
House, Washington, d. c. Tell him
precisely what you think, in as few
words as possible; about this coun-
try going to the enormous expense of
building the incomparatively largest
navy and organizing a large standing
army; about this country going to
war with one of the European belli-
gerents in case some of our aristo-
cratic, foolhardy. globe trotting citi-
Zens lose their lives on armed belli-
gerent merchantmen; about rural
credits, immigration, gambling,
marketing, good roads, parcel post,
and other needed progressive legisla-
ton. Tell the president in your letter
what you think about these measures,
and which of all these you consider
the more important for him and Con-
gress t. spend their time considering
Al also make it clear in your letter,
f. Mr.. Tumulty or his assistants will
open your letter even though marked
personal" and Confidential" and
"on.y for the president" that you do
not want the stereotyped routine ac-
knowledgement from Secretary Tu-
multy saying that your letter has
been received and he "had been di-
rected by the president to acknowl-
edge receipt thereof" general annual
direction under which Secretary Tu-
multy and his assistants acknowledge
receipt of eighty per cent of the let
tiers that come to the White House.
Of course, it is physically impossible
for the president, personally, to see
and read every letter. He hasn't the
time. He has to eat, sleep, play golf,
as well as attend to many other mat
tiers connected with maintaining his
health and conducting the important
office of president of the UnitedStates.
However, you should point out in
your letter that the president in his
speech before the Gridiron Club at the
New Willard Hotel, in Washington,
February 26, 1916, solemnly said: 81

WORKINCMEN ARE BLOCKING TO THE
 WILSON STANDARD
Editor of New York Evening Post Finds Much Repub-
 lican Dissatisfaction.

New York, Oct. 21.-Oswald Garri- son Willard. editor and owner of the New York Evening Post, which has not been supporting President Will sons candidacy, is making a personal tour of upstate sections of New York. In a dispatch to his newspaper tonight from Western New York, MT. Willard reports an unmistakable and surprising drift to President Wilson which he says is strong, particular ly in the small towns" He adds:
 This impression already recorded in these letters was strongly confirm ed by the information gained during an automobile ride of 13O miles to- day. From the beginning we stopped every man we met on the road.
 "So remarkable were some of the statements made as to Republican disaftecuon. that they were hard to believe and could not have been talk en at face value. had it not been that they were so often checked up by Republican sources of information.
 "Everywhere the workingmen are flocking to the President, and if there are only few farmers in every cleo tion district changing their votes it will take a much smaller majority in New York city to carry the State for Wilson than the Republican realize.
 Finally, it should be noted that we ran across Republican dissatisfac- ton with the speeches of MT. Roose- yelt,"

POLICEMEN AND
 FIREmEN TO AID IN SAVING BABIES
Municipal Employees Will Have Their Own Funds
 During Campaign.

Policemen and firemen of the city are going to have their own funds to assist the -the-Baby" campaign to be conducted here next week. Such assurances were given Mrs. H. w. Fleck, division chairman of the cam paign committee, yesterday by Supt. John H. Redgate and Chief Engineer Daniel E. Johnson.
 The policemen, and firemen, in addi- dition to doing their share in rolling up the fund, will become boosters for the cause. They constitute mem- support is going to be big factor in the campaign.
 Another interesting feature in con- nection with the campaign is the win- dow displays that will be made by several merchants. "'Baby Week" windows today appeared in several large mercantile establishments, one at George B. Clark's in Broad street being most artistic display.
 Teams have been organized at George B. Clark's, Howland's, Reads and Dorsen's. These organizations consist of store workers who have banded together for the campaign.
 Assisting Mrs. Fleck. in charge of teams in the mercantile division are these sub-chairmen: Mrs. David Day, Miss Coggswell, Mrs. Roy Clark, Mrs. John T. King, Mrs. Charles Shapiro, Miss Leila M. Warnes, Mrs. Ruth Kill patrick, Mrs. J. G. Kingsbury and Mrs. w. K. Nolan.
 The workers met yesterday at The Stratfield and completed campaign plans. Mrs. D. H. Warner, general chairman, presided, and the cam paigners heard an interesting talk by Dr. George w. Hawley on the work of the Orthopedic clinic, which is one of the beneficiaries of the campaign. Tn the opinion of Dr. Hawley, Bridge port will soon have need for chill dren's hospital, though orthopedic work may be continued in a modest way for some time with the present clinic.
 The compaigners will make their reports of the first days work at The Stratfield on Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 o'clock. There will be daily meetings in the sun parlor at that hour, when workers will make re- turns.
 On Wednesday and Saturday there will be luncheons at 12:30 o'clock for the workers.

TRIBUNE ADMITS WILSON STRENGTH
 IS INCREASING 6
Hughes Injured Own Candi- dacy on First Pacific
 Coast Trip.

New York. Oct. 21.-The increas- ing strength of President Wilson in the Middle West is again admitted by the Tribune, the Gibraltar of Re- publcanism
 This staunchest of Republican newspapers prints the following frdm a subscriber who has just completed a tour of several Western states:
 "Mr. Hughes injured his own can- didacy on his first tip to the Pacific Coast One hears this everywhere, and Republicans declare it as openly as Democrats. Three Republicans from Kansas, who travelled on the train with me. declared they would vote for Wilson or stay away from the polls after having heard Hughes, and they asserted that Kansas was strong for Wilson's kind of peace and prosperity.
 T left New York convinced that Hughes would be our next President. Now I am in doubt. My reasons may not seem very important, but no one can go into the Middle West Sust now and not feel that everywhere the flow of the tide is toward Wilson,"
 Commenting on the letter, the New York Evening Post to-day says:
 Prosperity inuring to the benefit of a Democratic administration is naturally disgusting to Republicans, but it is doing, them a lot of good. The Republican who writes so pes- simistically about the outlook for Hughes to the Tribune, returns with feeling very much like loathing for the prosperity which has 'engulfed' the middle westerners. If this pro- cess goes on, the party soon will be singing the praises of poverty. and saying. that there is nothing like an empty stomach to stimulate true patriotism

 by workers guaranteeing minimum
 of $25. There was considerable disap- pointment at the scarcity of s25 boxes, on the part offthe eager volunteers. The enthusiasm ran so high that the corps of organizers was frequently forced to drive the crowd of volunteers
 back to its seats.
 The city was charted and squads were organized to cover all the prominent shops and office buildings. The re-
