VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
 UNDER STATE RULE
School Committee So Decides at
 Monthly Meeting
.s.s--~~--.--- ----~--- .---4--z<-.

By a unanimous vote of the mem oers present at the meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon, the management of vocational training in the Bassett street building of the High school was turned over to the state. This move releases the clty from the greater part of the expenses of running the school with but rev items of expense being charged to Chc city.
 Favor 6-3-3 Plan.
 This was the principal item or puSl- ness transacted at the meetlnS. A preliminary report of the special com mittee of seven, appointed to consider the various recomm mendatiOns in Su- perintendent Holmes report was made. Chairman l.. C. Goodwin an- nounced that while he would not move at this time for it's adoption, it was the intention of that committee to recommend the 6-3-3 plan for local schools. This plan calls for the ap- proval of the Junior High school plan The first six grades are known as the primary departments of the school; the second three are the Intermediate High school; the third section, to con- sist of three grades, will take the place of the present High school four year course.
 To Buy IS Acres.
 Chairman B. F. Gaffney informed thu board that the finance committee had decided to purchase the entire Carmody tract of IS acres. While but five or six acres are needed for the inn mediate school purposes the remain Ing stretch of land can be used for a much needed northwestern play ground. Joseph M. Halloran inquired as to the method to be used in paying for the land, and asked why the park commission or some other such com m1ttee should not be asked to buy the land, thereby holding down the bonded indebtedness of the school committed It was explained chat the price was an advantageous one, and as it was much easier for the school board to make the purchase that method was thought best.
 Greeks Want Class Room.
 The board encountered an unusual problem in the form of a request from George Allard, vice president of the Greek schcol association, who request ed that his association: be given tho use of a school room in one of the city's schools from to 6 daily so that q class of 30 might be taught the Greek language. Dr. Martin thought it would be a good idea to grant the request inasmuch as it was for educa- tional purposes. Chairman Gaffney felt that as it was a foreign language it might give rise to problem.

 Doctors Want Increases.
 Drs. Zwick, Lyon and Dalton com- municated a request for an increase of $100. They pointed out that New Britain school doctors were receiving much less for more work than most of the cities of the state. Increased cost
  reason for asking an increase. The matter was referred to the finance and sanitation committees jointly.
 Chairman F. c. Goodwin reported that the plans for the new Northend school are about completed. The board discussed the communication from the probation officers association and vot- ed to send Miss Mary Campbell to the national convention at Philadelphia in the early part of next month.

at it from a different point of

night but occasionally bad
weather prevents the farmers

sport is excellent past-time and
a great deal of interest is being
shown on both side. Following

BAINVuLE TEAM LOSES
GAME. WITH LAKE

Bainville Tribune: The girls
basket ball team Of the Medi-
cine Lake High School took the
local high school girls into camp
Friday evening, defeating them
by the lop-sided score of 5 to
18. However this does not in
dicate that the game was a
'bum" one, but rather to the
contrary although the visitors
had the edge over the locals in
all departments of the game,
both as to age, weight and ex-
perience.
This was the first game of
the season for the team as we'll
as the first game for several of
the players and they are to be
complimented upon the showing
they made against a team that
is seasoned and have played to-
gether for several seasons.
Their defeat has not dampened
their ardor or enthusiasm in
the least and they have been do
ing some good practice work the
past week and will give good
account of themselves in their
next appearance on the floor
which will be on Friday night
when they will journey to
Homestead and will try conclu-
sions with the team, at that
place.

A mild experiment in Phila-
delphia has proved that the
farmers can be paid a higher
price for milk while the consum-
ers pay less. The city has been
divided into milk zones. One
wagon now covers the territory
over which half dozen used te
roam to deliver a few quarts OF
milk each.
AS a result the farmers get
8.2 cents a quart delivered at
the city loading stations and the
consumers pay IA cents. In
New York City the farmers re-
ceive 7.8 cents and the consum-
ers pay 16 cents. In Washing
ton the farmers get the Phila-
delphia price and the consumers
pay 15.5 cents. The difference
of II cents per 100 pounds be-
tween what the farmer receives
at Philadelphia and at New
York may easily be the differ
ence between a farm profit and
a loss. Two cents more a quart
for milk makes a difference with
the poor, too.
And this splendid social re-
suit can be secured in any city
merely by cutting out obvious
waste. Cooperative farmer di-
tribution of the milk to elin1in-
ate middleman profit would i'm
prove the Philadelphia situation
still further. Some day our
milk production will be strong
enough and wise enough to do
it.
Kansas and Ohio have fol-
lowed North Dakota's lead in
using state operation of mines
as a means of providing the
people with coal. The federal
government evidently does not
yet have official knowledge that
this is the only way to settle
the coal problem. So it will
blunder along in an effort to
protect the assumed superiority
of the coal monopolists over the
rights of the people who have to
have coal.
Even If the coal miners had
been content with conditions we
would have had a coal crisis this
winter. The miners merely has
tened the showdown. Before
the strike profiteering was run
ming wild and production was
below need. AS long as coal
mines are private property, the
owners will do what they please
with them, and sound business
demands coal shortage to boost
the price per ton. The remedy
is not to force free citizens back
to work for these owners. That
adds to the real problem the un-
pardonable wrong of enforced
labor. The remedy is public in
stead Of private ownership, with
the present profit margins split
consumers of coal.
One of the most spectacular
of the recent conven-
ton of the American Legion in
MINNEAPOLIS was the killing of a
bitter resolution against th,
league fasm"i:.. AS
soon as this resolution reached
the floor there were shouts for
North Dakota delegates and 20
to 80 delegates from different
parts of the Union were on their
feet clamoring for recognition.
But no debate was needed. 1t
was moved, seconded and voted
overwhelmingly to table the re-
solution.
A number Of observers have
called the incident the only de-
feat scored against the inside
Roosevelt Lindsey D'Olie r
group. But was it defeat?
The way in which the commit
tee brought the thing out after
resolutions on Americanism,
oyalty, [. w. W., and Bolshevik |
elements enabled the controlled |
press to put the Legion on re.
cord against the farmers. The |

VERDICT OVERTURNED

One of the largest judgments in dam age case rendered in Alabama in recent years was overturned by the supreme court Thursday when it reversed and remanded the case of the Illinois Central Railroad vs. O. B. Johnson from the Jeff ferson circuit court Johnson sued the railway, for $50, ,0O0 and was given $3O,00O by the jury. He was injured when an illinois Central railroad train was wrecked in Walker county he being em- ployed as baggagemaster at the time The supreme court reversed the case on the ground that the lower court should have granted the railroad application for another trial. Johnson contended that lie was employed jointly by the American Express company and the railroad, but the court ruled that the evidence also was offered by the company to show that Johnson received $500 from the express company then signed a release relieving the express company and the railroad company from further responsibility. Johnson contended that. he accepted the money as a gratuity from the express company and did not know the paper he signed was a waiver of future claims against either party.
