Ii it goes no further, the Paris
agreement will prove a constant
deterrent TO statesmen who believe
in war as the natural solvent OF in
ternational differences. But it
would be TOO much 10 hope that
even il the picture is painted for
which the frame has been made,
even il plans are drawn in detail
for the practical application OF the
general principle, the constitution
will be guarantee of permanent
universal peace. What causes wars !?
Dynastic ambitions are blamed, but
democracies have fought each 9TH
er with the greatest fury. One
school attributes, them-as it at
tributes nearly everything-to eco
nomic necessity, yet it is clear that
the business interests OF Ger
many did not favor the war. Light
minded politicians dcnounce the
munition makers, but our own
'prOllteerS' continued TO advocate
war with Germany when they knew
that it would make an end OF their
profits. The truth may be that new
wars come when the horrors oi
old wars are forgotten and only
their triumphs and their glorics re-
main. At such times ambitious OF
impatient public men feel behind
them the impulse Of warlike youth
and lightly throw armies in the
field to be sacrificed. Each gen
Grafton has its wars. This one has
had enough Of the terror, and its
outspokcn hatred OF wholesale
killing !, really the motive that
compelled the Paris agreement.

tory The same criticism might
apply to the Constitution OF the
United States. 1t was not adopted
without protest 1t has undergone
Interpretation, between John Mar
shall and Louis Brandeis that
would have dizzied Hamilton or
Madison. But there it stands,
somewhat SCARED by the kicks OF
rebelhous Judges, still the guide
post The clergy tell us that the
Ten Commandments are sometimes
di.regarded But they continue to
warn the sinner before he sins. to
rebuke him after he has sinned,
and to increase the length OF the in
tcryals between his lapses from
grace. Words have made crimes
and social conditions obnoXious
before this. A law is always a re-
minder to the wayward whether it
is enforced or not.
The difficulties in the way of
working out the plan are so lar be
yond the range OF all old nations OF
international relations that no GER
tain method of meeting them sug-
gests itself To begin with, there
is deep feeling in this country
that we have venturcd almost too
far already into the labyrinth OF
European and Asiatic politics, that
we have done all that a prudent
consideration for our own situation
can permit and shat we ought
to retire while it is possible to
retire with safety, The proposed
League OF Nations does not wipe
out boundaries, or race jealousies,
or economic rivalry, or the deep
ignorance that pervades most Eu-
ropean states. The alliance of
Great Britain, France and Italy was
not the outgrowth OF friendship.

remembering that it is only a few
years since Great Britain was at
the point OF making war on France
over the Marchand exploit. 1t is
not 50 long ago that the periodical
customs wars between Italy and
France we're so bitter that a trav-
eler OF the 'neighborhood OF Veng-
timiglia was treated like an escaped
convict Will England reduce her
navy; To the minds OF many
Englishmen, TO do this would be
national suicide, Can France dis
arm while, not only a Ger
man army but q German ma
tion, exists, France is sep
arated by only little rivers or
arbitray boundary lines from her
ancient enemy who even now
shows no signs OF repentance.
France has lost 100000 OF her
young men out of a total popula-
ton OF 100000. Think OF it!
On the same percentage our loss
in dead would be 3500,000. She
must be enabled 60 protect what
is left She can take no chances.
But, as NJ. Bourgeois complains, ii
She is compelled to maintain an
army, what place can she hold in
economic competition with nations
that can safely dispense with the
burden? The only answer is that
the five great powers have agreed
to attempt, in good faith and as far
as their own national restrictions
will permit, to solve the problems:
In the words OF the philosopher
quoted by the Italian Premier, they
have proved that there is such a
thing as motion, by walking.
The moral indignation Of the
world against Germany's ruthless
ness and defiance OF treaties was
one OF the greatest factors in the
downfall of the German Empire.

OKLAHOMA THE BEAUTIFUL LAND

OKLAHOMA THE BEAUTIFUL LAND
Q ONE years ago a rowing citizen OF the realm OF
y rhyme, now living in Oklahoma wroesa little
piece of verse which, if we may trust to an un-
dertrained memory for quotation began about like
this.
There is so much of beauty in the world
1t lies in luscious leaf and blossom fured;
1t hides in daisies, swims in silver dew,
CLOVIS in the sunrise, paints the perfect hue
OF sunset on the clouds, thrills in the heart
OF mountain echo makes the silence start
Into rapt song: so, ever at our feet
1t pleads with rosebud lips for kisses meet
And overhead, untimorous OF touch,
1t stoops inviting Oh there is so\much
OF beauty on the earth and in the air
And uhdersea, star-set and everywhere"
These lines are recalled by the reading Of a signed
editorial in The Okahoman by Miss Edith {. John
son, woman whose vision is not bounded by four
man-buil. walls "Do you see much that is beautiful
in Oklahoma:' She inquiries, and then she proceeds
to tell something OF the natural beauties Of Oklahoma
which means in Indian nomenclature beautiful land"
Miss Johnson even attributes to Oklahoma "an emo
tonal climate which phar,c is almost poem in

enough Tor any imagcst poem to run, by the way

quately paid, and efficient body of teachers is necessary for the contin- ued prosperity of the schools. The foregoing recommendations have been made with that aim in view.
 Before closing this report 1 wish to invite the special attention of the school committee to the very interest ing and valuable reports from the principal of the High schools, the principal of the Prevocational-G Gram mar school, and the supervisor of Elem entary schools which are pre- sented herewith as a part of this re- port. They are intended to set forth in brief the principles which underly the managem of the schools. As such they are worthy of the careful reading, not only of the school com mittee, but of the citizens of New Britain.
 In conclusion, it is again my privi- lege and pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness and appreciation for the continued confidence and support of your honorable committee.

ment of the Grammar school plant or the erection of another Grammar school ceu1pr
 Other reasons may also be advanced for the 6-3-3 plan. among theI0 being that of greater convenience and short CT distances for larger numbers of pu- pills living north of tho railroad tracks, and also the proba ble con- tlnuance in school of a large number of pupils for at least another year to complete the last year of a junior high school, i. e. the ninth grade, who now end their schools days with the completion of the eighth grade and graduation from the Grammar school.
 This prohlem of the High and Grammar schools has be~e~> discussed first because of it's possible bearing upon the solution Of the elementary school problem
 If he 6-3-3 plan were to be adopt ed and an intermediate or junior High school for grades :, and 9 were established in the north end of the city, it would be advisa ble to seri- Ously consider the use of the Elihu Burritt school for this purpose, and the erection of a new school to take the place of the Elhu Burritt school for the accomm odaton of elementary grades. The Elihu Burritt school is well planned and well adopted for in termediate or Junior high school pur- poses as we'll as conveniently located
 The elementary school problem is a problem of the suitable location and planning of schools to meet present needs and to accommodate probable future growth in school population.
 The line of the N Y, N H. & H. p ,o dividing line between the north and the south sides of the city. It is in teresting and helpful in the con- sideratiOn of the elementary school problem to note that all of the large elementary schools are south of a straight east and west line drawn midway between the north and south boundaries of the town. The only schools north of this dividing line are two four-room buildings, the Stanley and Osgood Hill schools. If we regard the N. Y, N. H. &z H. R. R. as dividing line we find that there are six elementary school buildings south of the railroad and only three north of it, not counting the Old Bur ritt school, which should be aban- doned for school use.
 The six buildings south of the tra ok contain 76 regular school rooms and during the first week of the fall term, 1919, were housing 3,032 pupils, an average of 40 pupils per room while the three buildings north of the track contain B regular school rooms and were housing 2,4S7 pupils, an averag ge of 46 pupils per room
 Room Averages
 But avera ges are misleading and when we examine the figures for the Individual buildings we find that the buildings south of the track had aver ages per room as fOllOWs

Teachers Must Live Better.

The lack of suitable living condi- tions for teachers and the scanty so- cial recognition which most of them receive is a matter for serious con- cern, both here and elsewhere. It should be worthy of serious considera- tion because 1t results in dissatisfac- ton and instability of the teaching force, if for no other reason. The modern factory organization includes among it's other departments a well fare department, The New Britain school department ought also to in- olude in it's scope 8 deliberately di- rected welfare policy for its teachers. Among other things to be sought by such a policy are CD @ teachers club room or rooms or a club house, and CD a sick benefit fund for teachers.
 Eleven years ago a semi official or ganl1atlan was instituted in the teach ing body known as the school council It was hoped at the time by the su- perintendent of schools that the school council would be u Valua Dle aid in the determination of school policies, and that it would serve as a medium for the form ulated expression of the opinions of the teaching body. The council has continued it's existence and has an honorable record of achievement and service, 1t has, how ever, never been accorded official rec ognitiOn by the school committee. The present would seem to be an appro- priate time for the school committee to give oonsid tion to the recogni- tiOn of the school council by in- viting or arranging for the appoint ment of a conference committee of teachers to act as an advisory body for the school committee upon such mat ters as may appropriately be referred to it for consideration and recom- mendation,
 The effect of such action on the part of the school committee cannot be other than beneficial to the schools and to all oncerned. The details of such plan must, of course, be core- fully worked out and the represe-lta- ton must be inclusive of all the inn portant divisions of the teaching force.

 track had averages as follows:
 Average
 Pupils Per Room Bartlett school ... 543 50 Elihu Burritt school 952 40 Sma1ley school .... 992 55
 Please note that the averages above are based upon the number of school rooms regularly designed and built for school rooms. Basement rooms, etc, are not considered.
 An examination of these avera ges shows att once that the troublesome spots are the East Street and North end schools on the south side of the railroad, and the Bartlett and Snalley schools north of the railroad. For these buildings immediate relief is needed. The contemplated addition to the Northend school will give par tial relief to the territory south of the railroad. It will not however, re- duce the attendance at the East Street school. Relief for the East street school must be provided either by means of an addition to the present school or by means of another build ing suitably located to accommodate the school children of the east side of the city.
 New School.
 The proposed new school at the north end of High street will give re- lief to the Bartlett schOl and partial relief to the Snalley school. To re- lieve the Smalley school still another building will be needed in that sec ton.
 If the Elihu Burritt school build ing were to be taken for Junior High school use such plan would make it necessary to provide an elementary school to take it's place. In that case the problem of a new building should be considered in connection with the needs of the pupils of both the Smalley and Elihu Burritt schools. The Stanley school located in 8 rapidly developing district should have consideration for enlargement. All rooms in thsi building are now occupied and there Is immediate need for more A four-room addition should be provided.
 Trade School.
 Thus far the trade school has not been mentioned. There is no ques- ton that this school needs more com modious quarters, if it is to develop as it should. The consideration ol further expansion oe the work Of the trade school, either by addition to the enrolment in the trade courses now offered or by the lntrodr ction o1 additional trade courses, Is prevent ed by the limitations of the available

AGAINST COMBINATION.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov 3. -
Attorney General Palmer has in
formed coal miners who pre- tested
against the Anderson injunction that
the Government is ready to do any
thing in its power TO facilitate an
inquiry into the merits of the coal
controversy. In the meantime, he
says, the law must be enforced,
and the miners were given to I'M
derstand that the Government would
not tolerate combinations to stop
production.
1t is understood no attempt will
be made by the Government to set
tie the wage controversy until the
men return to their jobs.

RAILS ARE JOINED
ON FAIRBANKS END

The laying of steel on the Ne
mana Fairbanks narrow gauge rail
road, which has been progressing
steadily throughout the past season
was completed at late hour this
afternoon, with the closing of the
gap between the two towns The
last spike was driven at Ago
this afternoon, without ceremony
and with no one present other than
the members of the Nenana and
Fairbanks steel gangs, Superintend,
ent of Construction W. L. Packer,
and a few others, who CHANGED along
as the gap was closed.
The gap was somewhat more than
mile in length yesterday morning
when the Nenana steel gang re,
sumed tracklaying after an absence
of several days from the end OF
steel. Foreman Dunn and his men
had $500 feet of track to lay from
the Nenana end when they went to
work yesterday morning, and by
night they had laid approximately
$500 feet, which is considered ar
exceptional showing, especially in
view of the fact that the gang
worked without tracklaying equip
ment. By 1890 this morning the
remaining TOO feet had been laid
and the gang was sent across the
gap to assist the Fairbanks gang
which still had, considerably more
than 1000 feet to lay Of the 5000
foot stretch remaining on that end
