LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor News:-
 Referring to Miss Roraback's very interesting and historically valuable paper on Canaan schools, my memory, which runs back with considerable vividness to the early seventies, notes one omission and one error.
 The omission is that of a girls boarding school conducted for few years, at about that time by Miss Mary Cunning and my aunt, Miss Sarah W. Adam. The boarding pu- pills were housed in the old Lawrence house now occupied by H. E. Lyles and the recitations were heard in a little school house that stood in the northwest corner of what are now the Lyles grounds. The school house was approached from Elm St. by a long narrow board walk and the school was attended by a good many day scholars from this village and East Canaan. Of those scholars now ivingI recall Mrs Jennie Camp, Miss Fanny Whittlesey, Charles S. AudHu dIluP Culuh dlSO1 MLS. NSI4lS Andrus Preston, and there, are prob ably others whom I can't recall.
 This school house was, feel sure, subsequently, used by Rev. L. H. Reid and Son in connection with the boys school they conducted in Ca naan for few years and which had it's headquarters also in the Law renee house and not at the Naples.
 I never heard of any school being conducted at what is now called the Naples" except the one started there by Miss Susan Bennett some time between 1920 and 1880 and the Thompson school, both of which are referred to by Miss Roraback.
 In this connection however / all though in an entirely different cate gory, mention should be made of the White School of Photography which has been housed at the Naples for several summers and whose stand ards have discovered so many beauty spots in this vicinity, some of which were unsuspected by those of us who are free to look for them all the year around.

 GRADUATION EXERCISES
(Continued from page II

to the general abandonment of religion.
 The fault is with the young men of to-day! loudly vociferate the mothers of daughters. The girls are entirely to blame for the lack of manners and morals, announce the mothers of sons. The grandfathers shake thoughtful heads. "The real explanation of the lack of good breeding to-day is that the modern mother is NOT a mother at all. The grandmothers are convinced that they alone hold the secret of the collapse of taste saying, ''the whole trouble is with the fathers" "Men have no authority nowadays over their sons, daughters, or wives" !" But, perhaps guiltiest of all, are certain members of the last genera ton who sit on the side-lines and criticize.
 This generation defends itself in many ways which the elders must admit to be true. We have been forced to become realists overnight instad of idealists, as was our birth right. We have seen man at his lowest, woman at her lightest, in the Terrible moral chaos of Europe. We Nave been forced to question, and in many cases to discard, the religion of our fathers. We have seen greed, anger, hatred, and all un- charitableness, unmasked and un- ashamed. The boys have been forced to live in an atmosphere, oc- casioned by the war, of tomorrow we die", and so, naturally they drank and were merry. We have seen the shortc omings of all govern ments, even the best and most stable. We have seen entire social systems overthrown, and our own called in question.
 You see this generation wants to find things out at frst-hand. We have been taught so many things that have proved not to be true, that we have naturally grown distrustful, and are perhaps apt to dismiss fact as a fancy just because it has been handed down to us as tradition, and we have not discovered it for our selves. We believe that the most frivolous and seemingly empty headed girls of to-day are going to produce just as fine a generation of children as our parents did, but if we are going to be better fathers and mothers than we have been sons and daughters, it will be partly because we have learned through bitter experience that sympathy with the growing generation is an essen tial part of progress, and we don't

How South American Duellsts !. Settle Difficulties. ..da
Visitor From the United States Per. ' 55$ceives Something Humorous .tln
 7 the Desperate" Encounters, '

AS l was smoking on the throne of the Incas at the ancient fortress of Secsahuaman, I beheld a party of two dozen stinguished-looking gentle. men in high hats approaching with a pair of weapons that resembled the cavalry sabers of Napoleon's time. It seems that Senor Escalante, editor of El ComeTcio, and Senor Castro, editor of El Nacional, both, of Cuzco, were about to settle an editorial quarrel upon the field of honor. Harry l.. Eos ter writes in Leslies. ...-..
 l had already noted that newspaper men in Latin-Anerica invariably car r1ed canes. l had at first supposed that they did It for the sake of dig nity, but after reading the editorials l decided 1t must be for self-defense. Every Latin-American city, no matter how small, has half a dozen sheets published, not as commercial ventures. but as organs for the saying of mean things about each other.
 Escalante and Castro had grown SD heated in a debate over a local po- ittcal campaign that only blood could atone for the insults. From the duel 1t appeared that both of them had read Mark Twain. They were still insulting each other as they met sword in hand, but both were shaking visi- bly,.
 "Go on, smite him." shouted Esca- lante's seconds, as neither of them made move to start hostilities.
 Thus encouraged, Escalante made wild swipe with his weapon, clipping off piece of Castro's ear.
 Immediately swords were dropped, the cOmbatants embraced each other and the seconds led them back to town, where champagne was opened.
 Dueling is by no means limited to petty editors. During the last presi- dential campaign in Chile, according to well-authenticated inside story. Don Arturo Alessandri, then the can- didate of the Liberty party, after a slight dissension with Don Guillermo Rivera, another politician, chaIlenyed him to a duel to take place near the famous monument of the Christ of the Andes in the CordiHera. .::
 Disguised with false whiskers, ac- cording to the story, Alessandri and bis seconds sneaked out of the capital. closely shadowed by the police. The meeting was to take place at 8 D. m. At 3:20 Senor Rivera not having made appearance. Alessandri started back toward town. On the way he encoun- tered Rivera, but on another road just across the ravine.
 "Why didn't you come out to 8ght?" demanded Aessandri, shouting across the ravine.
 How could IT" demanded Senor Ri- vera Your agents bought up all the mules so that couldn't get there.r

believe our children will be half So rebellious as we are! You know, warnings are sometimes just as Eelp- full as examples.
 There is no question, but what the responsibility must be shared by us all. It is the duty of every father in making his girls feel thet with mem lies the entire future of the human race. If the gir,s are heed less to this instruction, then 1t is time for the modern father Jo get out his good old weapon. now dull with disuse, the trusty sledge ham, n,er of Parental Authority.
 With mothers lie still creHter responsibilities. In these days of lack of constraint among young people, it would do no harm 10 have a little more frankness between members of the family and to en- courage mothers to tell their daughters truthfully the effect of some phases of their social laxIty on the men whose moral fibre they are weakening. /
 And how about the young girls themselves? The modern girl may be popular as a partner in a ,me- step, but will she be popular as a life-partner in that permanent two step to which different gaits adjust themselves with such difficulty? The responsibility lies with her as to her morals, mode of dressing, ways of living, and her attitude toward men.
 The present day young man by seeming to admire the most objcc- tionable type of modern girl, cer- tainly encourages that type to per sist. It is for them to exhibit more of the gentlemanly conduct which they would wish to have shown to their own sister by their friends.
 It is not surprising, in the general speeding up of every enterprise during the last hundred years, that human nature itself fails to respond when the feeble hand of middle-age or old age tries to apply the brake to new motor-force which impels it forward Steam succeeded stage horses as a method of locomotion, and a consequent acceleration of speed vibrated through society; hu- manity took to an even quicker pace when electricity and gasoline in- creased the tempo of life.
 We are all in the same rushing stream, but there are all kinds of inviting little brooks that some of us like to explore |: they all empty into the same big ocean, and if we keep pure and clean I don't see that it much matters which current we follow so long as they are all headed in the same direction and so long as all keep moving.
