CoNNECTICUT's SCHOOL YEAR

You cannot eduGEse children when they are not at school" was the pithy remark of Dr. Albert H. Meredith, the state commissioner of educa tion in ref erence to the lengthening of the school year by two weeks beginning with the term which opened this week.
 Dr. Meredith said that the addition of two weeks to the school year makes the length exactly what it was twenty years ago or 190 days
 Dr. Meredith added that the school year of 192O-21 opened with an ample supply of teachers for the schools of the state. There is no dearth of teach CTS now This satisfactory situation is different from that which existed last year when there was a serious insuf- f1ciency of teachers. Not only is the supply of teachers ample but the stand ard of requirements gives an assurance that the teachers will be competent and that their work iE the school room will be efficient. There are about 7,S00 public school teachers in the state and they must measure up to a standard which is a guarantee of their fitness to teach the youth of the state. The standard is high school education and, where a normal school course is not taken. attendance for six weeks at an approved summer normal school except in cases where the previous work of the teacher proves her ability to teach. There is no 1 lack of teachers and there will be no incompetent teachers. This gratifying condition has been brought about by the 1 recent changes in the school laws and | by the financial assistance which the | state gives to the small towns to en- able them to pay decent salaries. This l assistance Is rendered in the form of grants. There are ninety six small towns | in the supervisory system and they in- i clude the smallest towns in the state | Every school in these towns will be in i charge of a teacher who will be comnet-
 ent to teach and who will be encouraged
 to do her best work by the salary which she receives
 pr. Meredith said that normal school students who are given scholarships of
 $50 year for two years on condition
 that after theiH graduation they will
 teach in country towns for three years
 will be required to live up to the condi.
 tions of the scholarships In the past
 some of them have not observed these
 conditions and the state has not had the
 bene1s of their trained services as | teachers for which it contracted wher

CROWDED CONDITIONS SHOWN
 AS SCHOOL YEAR OPEN

With the opening of the public schools on Wednesday, the urgent need of better school facilities is again brought to mind as the congested conditions this year are even more marked than in previous years, especially in the first grades.
 There are a number of schools en the town that are overcrowded and the need of a new school building, especially on the West Side. is evident. At Pearl street there are 5S pupils in the first grade, at Tigh street there are 91. at Boswell avenue there are 53 in the sec and fourth grades. and at Taftville the third and fourth grades are overcrowded.
 As the usual number of pupils to one teacher is 30. it can readily be seen that at Pearl street and High street the con- ditions are far above normal At High street three teachers are needed and at present the work of three teachers is DS- ing done by two. At Pearl street school the second grade teachers are assisting in the first grade, and a reorganization of the teaching system is taking place owing to the overcrowding of the other schools.

WILL MAKE NO CHARGE
 FOR AUTOMOBILE INFORMATION

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Stoeck- el has been notified by the New York state tax commission that it has re- considered its letter of two weeks ago asking to be paid for looking up for the Connecticut authorities New York cars whose drivers are believed to have vio- lated the laws Of this state. It has decided to make no charge in the future for such cooperation.
 It was efter information about New York cars had been denied the state police over the long distance telephone and charge of six cents each had been made against State Policeman Nich- ols for information about certain cars for which he was compelled to travel to the department headquarters in New York state that Director Lord of the New York sta'e tax commission reply ing to protest of Deputy Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner Macdonald of Con- necticut sent the following letter:
 '1nformation as to owners of certain number is given upon receipt of six cents, which is the fee required by law It is impossible to give this information oven the telephone since the fee for search must be paid in advance"
 Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel replied that this ruling would make it impossible to identify stolen cars prompt ly, and adopted the expedient of forward ing a check for S25 to the New York office as deposit to be drawn upon whenever information was sought by the Connecticut department. He informed the New York authorities however, thai this state would continue to cooperate with the authorities in any way possible and without charge.
 Director Lord, who is in charge ot the motor vehicle bureau of the state taz commission, sent the following answer T am in receipt of your letter of Aug. ust 27, enclosing check, which I am re. turning and assure you this departmen will be pleased to give you informatior In regard to cars at any time without charge.
 We receive so many requests from our own people that we feel obliged tc make charge. However we are will; ing to cooperate with your commission in every way and have notified all O our offices to give you this information whenever you request it.''

fields and pull out any vines which are affected with a common potato disease such as leaf roll, mosaic and rhizoctonia.
 Mir. Dimmock is very careful to keep his vines well dusted every 10 days. He is using a dusting machine to keep off blight rather than the ordinary spray rigs which are used in this locality. This method has proved very satisfactory dur ing the past season and up to the present time no late blight and only a small amount of early blight fas been seen. It is too early as yet to predict what the yeild will be. One of the men asked MT. Dimmock how much he expected from one of his best fields. MT. Dimmocll said that it hardly paid to make guesses. but he was hoping for yield of from 4e0 to 500 bushels to the acre. J. s. Owens, the crop specialist from the college, Henry Dorsey, the agronomy specialist, and H. F. Johnson, the New London county agent, accompanied the men on this trip Several other fields of potatoes were wis tied the following day in Windsor | county.

COUNTY POTATO GROWERS
 INSPECT VERMONT FIELDS

Five of the large potato growers in New London county recently met and visited central Vermont, inspecting fields of growing potatoes. During the past few years many of the potato growers have made practice of buying northern seed and these men felt that they would like to see some of the certified seed stock growing in the fields with a view to buying some of this seed if the price was right some time this fall. The men who made the trip were Arthur Shedd, 1. F. Foote, MT. Pendleton, Tom McCli- mon and MT. Main, all of Preston.
 Mir. Dmmocks farm was visited at East Corinth and four different fields of potatoes were visited. MT. Dmmock is growing this year so acres of potatoes. all of which he hopes will be suitable to sell as certified seed. His fields are be- ing carefully inspected during the sea- son by officials of the Vermont state de- partment of agriculture, and he also has his own inspectors who go through the

After much of the day in the session of the criminal superior court here Thurs day had been taken up with conferences as a result of which a number ot cases were disposed of, the first trial of the term was begun about o'clock in the afternoon. Court adjourned half an hour later after one witness had been put on the stand and had not completed his tes- timony.
 The case brought to strial is that against John A. Johnson of New London, who is accused of obtaining $350 by false pretenses on Oct. 14 1920. from Osborn Sharples of Groton. It is charged that Johnson represented to Sharples that he had A patent on a so-called side contor- tion." which was an invention supposed to made riding in a certain popular make. of automobile more safe and satisfactory. But the state claims that Johnson's al- legged ownership of the patent was pretty much of a fivver, as it is charged he had no such patent and was getting money from Sharples under false pretenses when he sold him a half interest in the patent.
 State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull is prose- cutting the case, assisted by Attorney Thomas A. Troland Judge Herbert w.. Rathbun and Senator B. H. Hewitt are counsel for Johnson.

state. AS a matter of fact some of those who have had scholarships but who have found after their graduation that 1t was not to their advantage to teach in country schools for three years have refunded the money. The towns in which the normal graduates holding scholarships are required to teach for three years are those which have a grand list of $1,500,000 and under. Com missioner Meredith will insist on the graduates complying with the terms of the scholarship.
 "All children in small towns may now have high school education said Dr. Meredith. This Is an important state ment and it removes the obstacle to a high school education which the boys and girls of rural communities have in the past encountered in securing high school education and which was looked on as one of the disadvantages of resi- dence in a small town. The removal of the obstacle has been brought about by the law passed at the last session of the general assembly by which the state very materially increased it's grant to towns for the transportation of chill dren to high schools and the amount which it will pay the towns for the high school tuition. Rural towns must now proVlde TOT the ngh scnooi euu' cation for their youth and they cannot plead poverty CT for any other reason 1 inability to meet the small part of the
 expense which they will be required tc
