THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

No more hopeful information for the future
nj Georgia has ever been published than the an
nouucement in Sundays Times-Recorder that the
n~w compulsory school law would go into effect
January and notifying all parents and guard
ians that under it they required to send their
children between the ages of and 4 to school at
least six months of every year.
This means that every child regardless OF
gircumstances-unless he is physically incapacitat
ed-will receive at least common school educa-
hon # will mean that more free born Ameri-
can children, so far as Georgia can prevent, will
grow to maturity handicapped by inability to read
and write and calculate-handicapped because ev-
-rv uneducated boy and girl who grows up has to
compete in life with the boys and girls who are
educated; unequipped by mental training they
have to compete with those who so equipped.
Heretofore the lack of an education in Geor-
gIa has been a misfortune; hereafter it will be a
crime. Heretofore there have been hundreds and
thousands of good people who could neither read
nor write through no fault of their own their
parents many of whom managed to struggle
through life fairly successfully But hereafter the
State of Georgia intends that the rising generation
shall not be denied this opportunity-this neces-
azty-and Georgia will be reaping wonderful re-
suits before another decade has passed.

NAMING OUR LANGUAGE.

An editorial in the American Legion Weekly
urges change in the name of the language used in
the United States The writer points out that there
in this country. There are also differences in ac-
cent and usage between the language as spoken on
this side of the Atlantic and in Great Britain Why
not, the writer concludes, quit press-agenting
ohm Bull and have our own language-the Ameri-
can language?"
+ There is one difficulty here which the writer
overlooked That is the looseness of the meaning
of American We in this country like to consider
ourselves the only, original Americans. Yet dur
ing the war many resemblances were discovered
between Canadian troops and ours that persons dis
cusslng them in comparison with European troops
frequently classed the fighters from both the great
North American democracies as Americans
Then there are all the South Americans Their
ways and manners are very different from those of
the northern continent, but they are at the same
time different from those of the European parent
countries. And in the Old World they are fire.
quently looked upon Americans" As a more
complete understanding and harmonious relation
ship is established between the two Americas this
similarity will be increased, not lessened
To call our language United States is awk-
ward. And if we insisted on a special designation
for it would simply be naming colloquial
language. The written words of literature would
still be English. No change of name could alter
the fact of it's being essentially the language of all
the English-speaking nations

LABOR PARTY DOESN'T REPRESENT
LABOR

Conservative souls that have been worrying
aver the organization Of the new labor Party in
a national convention at Chicago may quiet their
fears. So far, at least, that party seems to have
surprisingly little to do with American labor" as
&he term is generally understood.
IF the Labor Party is going to amount to any
hing as the political instrument of the laboring
classes in this country, it must be expected, of
course, to speak for organized labor Now, or
gained labor today means primarily the Ameri-
zan Federation of Labor and along with it, the
powerful railroad brotherhoods, and few smaller
independent bodies. 1t naturally occurs, then to
an inquirer to ask what part these representative
groups have had in the organization of the new
party
Well of the ! l. z international unions in the
United States and Canada that make up the Fed
Grafton of Labor and of the z other international
unions not affiliated, making I24 in all, not one
was represented by delegates at the Chicago con-
venton. There are some local representatives to be
sure But out of the $4,000 local unions in the
Federation Of Labor and 5000 independent un-
i0ns, all of whom were invited to send delegates,
only o42 responded. That is about IL per cent.
This is what might have been expected from
the history of the Federation of Labor and the
strongest of the independent unions In the past
they have consistently refused to support any
movement for party of their own, preferring to
make their sentiment felt through the medium of
established parties. 1t is gratifying find that the
counsel of sober heads still rules in the ranks of
labor in spite of the efforts of vociferous and ir-
responsible radical minority to draw line of pol
idcal cleavage between labor and other elements
af American life.

SAFE CHRISTMAS TREES.

1t is not too early for holiday fire 'don'ts'
to be urged upon the public The National Fire
Protection Association has been scattering warn
ings broadcast. The safe and sane Fourth of July
has greatly reduced fire loss from independence
Day celebrations. Christmas seems to be the next
holiday needing this particular kind of reform
In the first place the tree should not be decor
ated with paper, cotton or any nAammable mate
rials. Powdered asbestos makes safer snow" than
cotton. Metal and non-inAammable trimmings
may be just gay and CHEEKY as the dangerous
kinds.
Candles should not be used for decoration
or if the habit is too firmly rooted to be done away
with suddenly, the first step toward safety and
sanity might be to leave the decorative tapers un-
lighted. Also the tree should fastened firmly so
that nothing will tip it Children should never
be permitted to light candles No matches should
be left within tempting reach either. Electrical IL
Elimination is much safer all around.
The tree should not be left standing too long.
Many fires occur in January because trees have
been kept until they very dry and are easily
ignited by an accidental match.
The of precaution and common sense
need not destroy the festive spirit of the season
Ii will be far merrier Christmas if all fire hazard:
are eliminated beforehand and no one has tc
watch the fun with anxious eye and worried mind
The coal strike is ended and the forbiddins
prospect of winter fuel famine is averted -

COSTLY MALARIA.

The Rockefeller Institute has been expert
rnentng with the control of malaria in the Southern
states Its findings are that it is cheaper to pre-
vent malaria than to have it. That is to say the
rost of getting the disease under effective control
is less than the doctor bills paid by malaria pa
Eisnts.
When to doctor bills are added the loss from
beng absent from employment both in salary to
the patient and in production to the country-at-

LAW AND ORDER.

GIVE an issue sounding title, and 1t may cut
grass enough; but the only one that's vital
is this law and order stuff. Oh hear the states
men chatter of small things and call them
great, but such trihes do not matter when the
traitors boldly trait; when they hurl dehance'
waving flags and beating drums, and tor action
have reliance on the homicidal buns All the
forces of the alley, of the kennel and the stew.
have united in rally, anarchistic things to do.
They have long since crossed the border of high
treason, and they swarm, crying, Down With
Law and Order and it's time for reform. We
crush the deadly adder, see its venom does not
last, or our future will be sadder than Gomor-
rah's dismal past. We must stop the maudlin
pleasures of the treason spoutng jay, and rehn-
ed and gentle measures are but kindness thrown
away We can't stop the screeching vandal
with tap upon the wrist; all such cattle must
handle with a scourge of wire, | vvist. Still we
argue, when wee orn't, when stern weapons
should draw; for the one thing that's import
ant is the old time reign of law.

New Britain herald., 1919-09-20

History reveals that for more than 100 years, since 1912 to be exact, the manufac- ture of hardware products has been carried on continuously on or near the site of the present factories of North & Judd Manu- featuring Company thereby establish ing this Company as the oldest extant in- dustry in New Britain. Alvin North plant ed the acorn and for more than forty years engaged in manufacturing, at least half of this time producing plated wire or articles made from wire.
 In 1S4S Hubert F. North purchased the interest of his brother o. B. North, and in 1855 another change in ownership occurred when Alvin North disposed of his interest to Lorin F. Judd and J. A. Pickett, the name of the firm becoming H. F. North & Company. MT. Pickett retired in 1863, selling his share in the business to MT. Judd, and once more there was change in the firm, name, this time to North & Judd. A short time later in the same year it was incorporated as

OLDEST EXISTING INDUSTRY M NEW BRITAIN

North & Judd Manufacturing Company with capital of S6O0O0.
 Fire destroyed the wooden factory at the corner of East Main and North Stanley streets in 1888 and it was replaced with a brick structure.
 Greatest progress has been attained by the Company during the past quarter cen tury. It has enjoyed healthy and con- servative expansion until today its buildings and yards are spread out over seventeen acres. A photograph of the factory and working force taken in 1872 shows twenty two employees. By the year 1900, the force had increased to five hundred hands, and to- day there are more than twelve hundred names on the payroll
 This growth has not been achieved with out effcrt. The creative force behind the Con1panys success has been and still is Presi- dent H. C. Noble, who has given of his talents and energy in full, unselfish measure.
New Britain herald., 1919-09-20

MT. Noble entered the employ of the Com- pany in 1872 as office boy and bookkeeper, and since the death of Lorin F. Judd on March 10, 1896, as general manager he has surrounded himself with a corps of bright and ambitious executives, who are giving their best efforts toward far greater de- velopnaent of the Company's business than has yet been accomplished.
 North & Judd Company is extending its field of endeavor and taking every ad- vantage of opportunities created in foreign countries with the result that its exporting trade is expanding in most satisfactory manner.
 During the World War the company fur nished a large volume of hardware products which were vital to victory. More precious than that record, however, are its honor rolls containing the names of seventy-eight of its employees who entered military service.
