troduccd to his listeners the progress
Of the schools of the city.
He said the Stanley Quarter school
was one of the cornerstoneS of the
schools Of this city, and even of the
schools Of the state. It exemplitied
New Britain and even New England,
He spoke of the progress Of time
which rolls onward and is stopped
by no man, and in that progress he
spoke of the progress made along ed
ucational lines.
Continuing he said; In the prog
ress Of time men look backward to
the days when they were youths.
They think Of them as the glorious
days and the best days of all. I'M
looking back and thinking of those
good old days they forget that Amer
lea stands for progress and that its
schools, being American, also stand
for progress. All honor to Captain
Griswold to the 1920 and the other
men who fought They were products
of the schools and they did their duty
well knowing what their duty was
He quoted Edmund Burke as fol-
lows: 'Political society is a union
between the living and the Dead and
adding said: 1--WE must carry on our
part and make that bond perpetual.
That saying is based on the principle
that education is necessary for the
progress of society. The public
schools are transmitted to us from
the past. When started the people
did not ask if they alone would ben
Gift 1t is tho same with the planting
of a tree for you know it may grow
but you ask not if you will reap all
the fruit And so it is that educa-
ton is a real debt to society. We owe
it to society to educate our children
and it is therefore our duty to trans
nit, with progress to the future what
has been transmitted to us from the
PAST
Continuing, he said, Il tell you,
gentlemen, the man who says a word
against the public schools is a traitor,
a traitor to his city, his state, his
country, his flag and even to his God.
In Oklahoma they have system
where the children are in school "a
hours a day, seven days a week ana
| 365 days a year. That is training Tor
! citizenship and is done by the aid OF
| the parents. It is a step for pro-
| gress."
He spoke of the partial adjustment
of the kindergarten in the schools be-
| cause it was considered q waste of
| time.
| He defended the physical training
system in the local schools. He
spoke of the weaklings with great
minds and weak bodies who are not
| of natural development. They are
not the kind of men we want the
, Judge said. I'VE want good strong
bodies for well developed minds. They
| should go hand in hand"
He spoke of the platoon system in
the schools which has not been gen.
orally known to the people. The
system calls for a class on the play
ground all the time and is necessary
because the grounds are not large
| enough to accommodate more. The
pupils get their educational work and
also the recreation during that period
on the playground. 1t has three ben
efits. It releases the classes one by
one to the playground, it gives the

added benefit of one room and saves
building for awhile; it gives the chill
dren a special training.
Judge Gaffney stated that it is his
personal belief that the Fairgrounds
of the city should be under the school
system.
He spoke of the Grammar school
which Is unique and one of the first
of it's kind in the state. 1t is a con-
junction of pupils They come to
know each other and learn nacN 9TH
er's habits as we'll as strength of char
acter, he said. It's man, man that the
schools are developing, citizens, too,
that they are developing. It is the
duty of the schools to give them citi-
zenship. The pupils move at the
sound of a bell. That is one of the
first traits necessary to good citizen
ship. 1t is obedience and is necessary.
1t shows respect for authority, the
lack of which has caused the spread
of Bolshevism in Europe. Germany
never went to pieces until the officers
lost control of their men. Russia was
not overthrown until the lawless and
non respective BoIsheviki overran it.
He praised the work of the superin-
tendent of schools, Stanley H. Holmes,
and termed man who would speak
against him as an assassin. He told
Of the executive ability of the man
and of his shrewd policies. He also
spoke of his interest in progress and
mentioned the prevocational and vo-
cational schools as proof of it.
He told Of the many diversions
there are for children who do not
like books and instead of being drop
ped as they were formerly. they are
10 n+1 y, icI,
they seem more adapted to. The
great purpose of educating the boys is
to make them self-supporting and
that is taught them from the begin
ming. He spoke Of stopping truancy
and said that the parents were 60
blame because in many cases they
condoned the wrong acts of their chill
dren and even told falsehoods to pro-
tect them. He spoke of the manner
in which the truant is being cared for,
not by policemen running after the
boys, but by kindly advice and Il good
word spoken at an effective moment.
He praised the work of Principal
Louis P. Slade at the High school
and criticized people speaking about
that school who did not know condi-
| lions as they exist. Instead of being
mere filter for college as it formerly
dren of the people, and instead o.
having them all take the colleEo
course and If they don't pass haTa

which they hope to improve.
