LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
 The Hiqh School Question,

Mir. Editor: If there exists any real issue of importance to the city and town, it may be said that, so far, the presentation and the discussion of it has revealed nothing calculated to prompt the public to any immediate decision of formal action. The card, issued to all electors by the school bard. signally failed in obtaining q big meeting. or the impetus appar- entity looked for in--in fact it rath- CT created much opposition.
 We gather from tho representa- tions of the board that it is moved deeply by two CD propositions-the first being the great need of a school building up-to- date. Secondly-for the pur- pose of saving large number of our pupils of the Sixth, Seventh and of MT. Bishop, according to our school records. we lose each year from our schools.
 We confess ourselves at a loss to know what is meant bv this desis- mated Toss" or how it is to be rem edied by an 'up-to-date" building. whatever that may mean. If a pupil is considered lost because he hasn't got a high school academic or colle- gian course; and doesn't enter the professions, then we object. The professions are overcrowded now, and there are too many pseudo educators who are inculcating the idea that ed- ucation fits a pupil only to live by his wits, and tect by honest toll; hence we have an ignorant laboring and mechanical class. with its walking delegates and strikes.
 All schooling nowadays seems to be to aid the pupil to avoid anything like mechanical or laboriouS work, or that if into these he goes he needs TO ~-eat skrl in f~'1rer. erar'"1ar, or the sciences. We know there are what is called manual training schools now, but these are mosly looked up to as a preparation for the graduate to teach in other manual training capacities and not to fit him for actual work.
 made up of successful, practical men, chosen to this board because of their acumen and common sense. it would be interesting for them to tell us just in which grade they each left school, and how many of them vantages of which they talk as being SO necessary for the pupils of to- day: who nay soon be replacing them in office. The writer of this which requires mathematical and scientific knowledge. He got his ed ucation in a country school where everything was taught from A B C's to algebra. The pupils were not graded by their ages. nor had their aavarrArne-t by the year and diplo- ma, nor had they to go from one school to another to get a knowledge to fit them for life's common and useful tasks.
 Let the Norwich school board give 1 us their experiences. and not try to l great expenditure with their visions | ,f what they deem "Up-to-date."

THE WILKINS CASE.

Because of the manner in which the crime was couonitted, the prominence in the community of the accused and the apparent plausibility of the story told in explanation of the killing oi his wife. so much so that the authori- ties were inclined at first to believe it much interest was manifested in the Wilkins murder at Mineola, L. I. where two wives had but a short time ago been freed after shooting down their husbands in cold blood.
 In view of the evidence presented however, there could hardly have been surprise at the verdict that was rem dered by the jury in finding the doctor guilty of first degree murder. In spite of the careful plans for covering up his crime his defense was badly jury didn't reach it's decision without long deliberation or decide to do it's duty in finding him guilty without showing its desire that some other than the penalty prescribed for such a crime should be imposed. This was made evident when it recommended mercy for the prisoner. Whether this was the consideration which caused the change in the standing of the jury is not disclosed but it was ap- parently not known that it could not receive the attention of the court.
 If by any chance the verdict was reached through the belief that the penalty would be other than death there may have been grounds for a successful appe1l. which seemed like ly to be taken, but that has all been made unnecessary by the suicide of the convicted man. whose act indi- cated his hopelessness and guilt, and what would have kept the case in the public eye through an appeal will be an investigation to find out who was his accessory in ending his life.

Women's Rights in Albania.

 Owing to the Greek clans in outh- ern Epirus and the Albanian demands for complete independnece the delim- itation of the boundaries of Albania is ticklish matter. Albanians have re quested the Americans to enable them to recover the lands distributed to others by the Berlin Treaty and the Treaty of 1912.
 An interesting feature of the visit of the American mission was their meet ing with the Albanian virgins. The betrothal of children is still custom ary in Albanian but of, when the time for the marriage comes the betrothed girl refuses the man and swears etern- al virginity she may acquire property and have a mans privileges, including that of associating with them. voting and smoking.

 Now that the Germans have signed the treaty. leaders are returning tc their countries and the president is on his way home, it does not mean that all is over at Versailles. The peace conference has much work that re- mains to be done and it would not be surprising if the session had not been completed on the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice.
 It is realized of course that the treaty with Austria has not been sign ed. that there is none as yet under taken with Hungary, that Turkey has not been informed what it's terms will be and that Bulgaria does not know as yet what it will be called upon to sign Thus while the main business has been disposed of and the rest of the work can be left to others it is evident that they will have plenty to do to get the remainder of the busi- ness cleaned up.
 As far as anyone knows the dispute about Plume has not as yet been ad- justed although there is reason to feel that the change in the Italian cabinet may indicate an early settlement of that matter, but there are also the claims of Greece and the adjustment of numerous problems relative to the smaller nations that must be accom- plished before it will be possible to ad- journ although there will be many matters that will be referred to the league of nations to deal with. The big show, however. is concluded and though what remains to be done is inn portant it will nevertheless come un- der the classification of side attrac- tions for which the programmes have for the most part been arranged and the future work will to a large degree be a matter of form though 1t may require some time
