 One important Committee is that which deals with the management of the Bolshevist Schools opened in many parts of the country. The Bol- shevists are not slow to recognize that it is the children of today tha. they must look for the supporters of tomorrow. and in order to convert" the young, schools have been opened in England and Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

 Where Funds Come From.
 The cult of Bolshevism, like its twin borther, pacifism, finds support chiefly at the bottom and at the top of the intellectual and social scale among the workers and those intel lectuals who are sufficiently remote from it's workings to be easily led astray through purely academic dis cussions.

VIEWPOINT
Especial to The Timcs-Farmer)

Especial to The Timcs-Farmer)
 Few people recall a. better attended town meeting than that which was held at the High school building on Saturday for the purpose of consider ing the proposed new High school as a testimonial to the soldiers and sail ors who served in the late war. The stud! hall was filed to it's capacity and nearly as many gathered outside. Town Clerk Oscar Pitzschler called the meeting to order and a vote taken to make Selectman W. F. Glover chairman. The warning as read was accepted and business proceeded. A motion was made to have the meeting adjourned. which motion was amend ed by A. T. Nettleton, who suggested adjournment to July 12 at Town hall. which would give everyone more chance to consider the advisabiIity of building a new school. Discussion followed the amendment. William Hayes contending the difficulty of again scouting SO large an attendance and the advisbility of bringing the position to a vote at once. At this point Rev. George T. Sinnott. secre- tary of the town school committee, made speech which. while not bringing the desired vote. was a strong plea for the school and a revelation of conditions on the present building and the importance of spending money wisely it had a telling effect as the tenure of the meeting changed 10 a willingness to consider at least. When the vote was taken Mir Net tleton's aendment was lost by vici voce vote.
 Representative John Behn appar- emily made the most satisfactory sug- gestion when he reminded the meet ing of the expense of building at the present time and from the applause his talk brought forth it appears that the time Is not ripe for new S45,- 900 High school in Newtown.
 A resolution was then read to have the school board and finance com nlittee prepare an estimate of the probable expense of repairing the High school and report at a special town meeting to be held at town hall at future specified date.
 This resolution was made a vote and accepted. The meeting then adjourned.
 Many took advantage of the visit to look over the building and there was some keen disappointment felt at the failure to appropriate. How V ever. from the view point of others, the meeting was great success. It
 
 need of every district school as well as high school.
 Those who voted no. were in no mode of victory, but rather of regret that conscientious feelings of the in ability of the town to shoulder the great debt forced them to disfavor it at the present time. In fact no defi- nite plan of raising funds was sug- Eested. No one offered a large amount to start subscription. The taxpayers were fearful of consequences to them. Many are willing to contribute, few, if any are satisfied to be taxed; how ever. the new High school has grown in popular favor although lost by vote. 4, strong impression has been made on the minds of those present and the delay. although disappointing, will bring a more universally good feeling later when it again is brought before the public. Perhaps not for some time but in the opinion of many it will come. About 20 women voters were present.
