SEEKING SITE FOR
 A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Extension Committee Authorized
 to Secure Options on Land
PART TIME FOR B. ]. H. s.
School Boartl Finds Such Action Nee essary Because of Increase in Scholars-Junior High Class Day Friday-Notes About Town.

The extension committee of the school board was authorized, at d meeting of the latter board held last evening, to2go ahead and secure op- tions on sites to be recommended to High school. This recommendation was made following a report that the extension committee felt that an en- tire new building would be preferable instead of the proposed addition to the kensington Grammar school.
 The above announcement has caused a considerable amount of in terest in town inasmuch as the ex- tension committee has been working ''in the dark" for the past few weeks and no public announcements have been forthcoming about their work.
 It is said that only careful study on the part Of the extension commit tee has caused them to make this recommendation in view of that fact that it will be saving to the town through the maintenance of such a school instead of paying constantly in creasing tuition rates in out of town Senior High schools which, it is said would entirely finance the expense of erecting a, new school.
 An effort was made to determine where the new site would be located but persons interested in the subject are not inclined to talk on that part of the program. It is expected, how ever, that the new building, if voted for at a special town meeting. would be erected in kensington.
 Part Time For J. H. $.
 In discussing the plans in reference to the Junior High school in kensing ton, it was disclosed that to date there are between 200 and 220 pupils reg istered to enter that school next year. This number does not include the sev- enth grade pupils from the Blue Hills. Worthington, South, Selden or Hub hard schools. If these children were included there would be total of over 2S0 pupils.
 Because of the fact that there are only four large rooms and one small room available for use at the school, it has been found necessary by the school authorities to have the Junior High school go on part time next year
 By this it is meant that some of the pupils will attend early morning ses- sions at the school and others will at tend later sessions. The plan will not interfere with the curriculum of the school, the superintendent explained, but the children will be obliged to prepare some of their studies outside of school hours. This is done in all of the towns and cities where it is round necessary to go on part time schedules.
 Teachers Approved.

RESOLUTIONS

The cheerful custom of wishing ones
friends Happy New Year is good old
custom as far as it goes. The atmos-
phere of good will created by such hearty
greetings is charged with possibilities Of
helpfulness and constructive cooperation.
happy.
But we'll wishers and those for whom
they wish may we'll remind themselves
on New Years Day that it is largely
within their own power to make the new
year happy one for themselves and for
the community in which they live. To
do this simply requires taking thought and
action to make the wish come true.
And here we come to what we call the
good old New Year resolutions. Accord
ing to the jokesmiths, the good resolu-
tions of the first day Of the year rarely
survive the month. But supposing that
only a few of them hold out for a good
part of the year. If they have been
made with a positive purpose to improve
ones thought or habits or surroundings,
rather than with a mere negative pur-
pose not to repeat some of the mistakes
Of the past, they cannot help but avail
something. And if resolutions do nothing
more, at least they are a recognition Of
weakness and of the need of a new and
constructive purpose. For example, i'm
agine families who now find the struggle
for existence hard one resolving to es-
tablish a budget for the coming year.
Would they not fare better? Imagine
others resolving to take better care of
their health by conforming to the simple
laws of nature. And imagine still others
looking their faults in the face and re-
solving to replace their chronic worries
with wholesome and constructive thought
Is there any doubt that their lot would
be far happier? Suppose a whole new
group of persons--or natiors-took to
heart some of the practical suggestions
in the Sermon on the Mount and resolved
to be merciful, to be righteous, to make
peace and to deal fairly with all men.
Imagine them keeping their resolutions.
Would it not be happier new year?

NEAR-EASTERN ATROCITIES

A recent communication issued by the
Turkish delegation at Lausanne accuses
the Greeks of confiscating all the farms
belonging to Moslems in Crete, and says
that the Turkish residents in the hills
fearing massacre, have fled to the cities
and are dying there of hunger.
All this sounds strangely familiar. 1t
is natural to suspect the veracity of any
statement from Turkish sources, yet it
may be true. And true or false, it rep
resents the Greeks as doing in Crete pre-
cisely what the Turks have done on far
bigger scale in Asia Minor and on numer-
GUS occasions in the Balkans. They were
accused of massacring Turks when their
army first entered Smyrna.
Sometimes an American reader wond-
ers whether there is really much to choose
between the hostile races in that whirl-
pool of human rivalry and hatred at the
eastern end of the Mediterranean. 1t is
natural to pity them all, distrust them all
and rejoice that we are far away.

billion tons of coal year instead of the
half-billion tons actually produced.
The commission, therefore, warns new
capital away fro: soft coal mines.
That is obviously a sensible warning.
Yet how is it to be made effective? Th-e
is human nature to consider, as we'll as
coal. When farmer or lessee discovers
what looks like a paying vein of coal,
it is human to want to work it. 1t is
natural for operators to want to open
rev fields and for investors, familiar with
stories of fortunes made in coal, to want
to put money into promising ventures.
So new mines are opened right along,
multiplying equipment and personnel and
overhead cost, and the whole industry
suffers from excessive power of produc-
ton. Many lose money, but there are
always new optimists coming along.

As the People View It
Albuquerque, Dec. 80.

EullOF MOFHlHB JOuIHdl.
1t seems that the time is appro-
pirate for a word of caution in the
selection of new secretary of AS
sociated charities, or by whatever
name this work is known in AL
buquerque. Haste is the last thing
to be used in that choice. The
time has passed for a city that
hopes to maintain its self respect
in its relation to the INDECENT to se-
lect an unframed individual for
this work.
Anyone can give away the peo-
pies money. But how many know
how to spend sparingly yet aid gem
erously. The outgoing secretary
has been quoted as saying: There
Is no constructive program in
charity work" That means a poll
Icy of hand outs" of money, food
and old clothes and a consequent
multiplicity or special appeals
for Special" cases which q proper
manipulation of the "indigent
fund" should make unnecessary.
We grant the always possible eX-
ception.
The secretary should be a wom-
an with large sympathieS and
good common sense. A woman
because she can enter into the in
ner problems of the girls and
women who are the greatest suf-
ferers from poverty, and the dan
ger Of blackmail is reduced to a
minimum
She ought to be trained for this
special work. Not long since a
woman was recommended for this
position in a Colorado city be-
cause "she had been poor, and so
could sympathize with the poor"
The administration Of public
charities" has come to be pro-
fession and should be so consid-
cred for the sake of economy and
real Justice to the deserving poor.
There are institutions which
train these workers in the practi-
cal as well as the theoretical phas-
es of this work, and there are or
ganizations, like the American Red
Cross, which have list Of COM
petent trained and experienced
people available for this service.

by short covering.

time Nav was off 6 hc from the

ratio in the early dealings, touch
ing $1.23 on a break and then ral-
lying to $1.2f. Tho changes were
so frequent that at times there
was difference of 1ac between
