has already refused to approve in
creases Of sSo9.904 in the support of
schools grant. 100000 in the average
attendance grant and several thou
sands more in retirement allowances.
The committee has taken the ground
that all attempts to advance the eff
cheney of Connecticut schools by in
creasing teachers salaries by tenure
of employment, by liberal pensions
and generous state grants. will end
in failure If an adequate supply of
well traiRed teachers is not provided.
To meet n demand for 500 new teach
ers in the state next September, the
State Normal schools will graduate
only 200 this year and these will be.
for the most part, teachers for the
lower elementary grades.

mend only half that amount with the
idea that IL will be sufficient to make

Firmly convinced that this is the

"SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN"

Argus-Leader-South Dakotans may
we'll feel a pride in the work Of the
Children's Home in which Superintend-
ent A. ID. Stuckeman has just com
pleted fourteen years of service.
While strictly speaking is is not a
state institution in that it receives no
share of taxes for its upkeep, it is
the only orphanage in the state of
South Dakota and through a long
series of years has proved a haven
for little children who through death
of their parents or other misfortune,
had no place to go.
1t was to fill just such a need In
South Dakota that the late w. l..
Sherrard founded the institution 26
years ago, first utilizing a little frame
building over near the Baptist col
lege. Since that day many a tousled
head has found rest and comfort be-
meath its sheltering roof and many
a tiny heart has been made to bloom
through tender care and nurture.
IL tHc StolcS Vi IltdUly illCllnCu
people of the state had the many
lodges and organizations hat annu-
ally lend their support to the Chill.
dren's Home, it should be a source of
gratitude to know that nearly 1,40G
little one have been admitted during
the past IA years, an average of about
100 a year of which between IS and
rs per cent have been placed in good
homes, most Of them within the state,
where they have grown into useful
and happy men and women And not
alone have these children benefited
by the work Of the institution but
they haXe filed an aching void in the
hearts of many a childless or lonely
couple eager to bestow a love that
sought but expression.

1t was a couple of hours later that
Hugh rang up his rooms in Half Moon
street. From Algy, who spoke to him,
he gathered hat Phyllis and her IA
Their were quite safe. He also found
out another thing-that Ted Jerning-
ham had lust arrived with the hapless
Potts In tow, who vas apparently sur
ficiently recovered to talk sense. He
was weak still and dazed, but 10 long
er imbecile.
Tell Ted to bring him down TO The
Films at once" ordered Hugh. There's
a compatriot Of his here, waiting to
welcome him with open arms
Potts is coming, Mr.. Green" he
said, putting down the receiver. Our
Hiram G. And he's talking sense. 1t
seems to me that we may get a little
light thrown on the activities Of Mr..
Hooking and Herr Steinemann, and
the other bloke."
The American nodded slowly.
"Von Gratz," he said. II remember
his name now. Steel man. Maybe
you're right, Captain, n that ne
knows something; anyway, l guess
Hiram c. Potts and l stick closer than
brothers till / restore him to the bosom
Of his family"
But Mr.. Potts. when he did arrive,
exhibited no great inclination to stick
close to ehe detective; in fact. he
showed the greatest reluctance to en-
ter the house at all. AS Algy had
said, he was Still weak and dazed, and
the sight of the place where he had
suffered so much produced such an eff
feet on him that for a while Hugh
feared he was going to have a relapse.
At length, however, he seemed to get
back his confidence, and was persuad-
ed to come into the central room.

selected and the weekly programs are
divided into two industrial, one ath-
letic and one social meeting a month.
The girls are very enthusiastic and
a number of new members have re-
Gently joined. The Sophomore Girl
Reserves and the High School Club
are forming a company to be known
as the Senior Girl Reserves.
Some time next week Thursday
night there will be a ~get-together meet
ing of all girls and women in town
and at the college who have v er at
tended a summer conference of the
Y. w. c.. A. AT present the commit
tee in charge have the names of thirty
seven and there are probably more
whose names they do not have. Such
persons are urgently requested to
phone at once to the president of the
club, Miss Ella Swanson, or to Miss
Keith at the Y. w. G.. A., so that they
can be notified of the exact time of
meeting. A good program Is being
planned so that a real Geneva time"

That's all Over now, Mr.. Potts said
Hugh gently. you got into the
clutches of the most Internal gang Of

you out again" He looked at him
quietly. 'Do you think you can re-

time" he urged. "There's no hurry"
The millionaire passed his hand daz-
