 The school committee has adopted the recommendations of the sub-eom- mittee calling for an expenditure of s567,0O0. Of course the cry put some of 1t off will be raised. The point to be emphasized is that the city must practice economy, It will be practicing economy to authorize a sum sufficient to meet all the needs as they appear. Putting it off would be extravaganza. It ia not likely that better market for municipal bonds will come for some years It is probable that the muni- cipal bond market will not be as good as it is at present a few months from now, perhaps, Meeting those needs now would be practicing economy in the wisest sense, the biggest sense, Then when 1t comes to letting of con- tracts and purchasing appointments for the schools there will be other opportunities, not only to practice economy but also to sec to 1t that a wise policy of awarding contracts, by means of sealed bids. and of accept ing only articles which come up to specifications, is adopted.

TWO MEN DIE.

Thomas Nelson Page, author and former Ambassador to Italy, died on Wednesday. Yesterday Thomas De Witt Cuyler, noted railway executive ended his life of hard work. In the taking from the world the sources of such wealth as the minds of these men produced, people may we'll feel that the work to be done by those who remain becomes more difficult if the richness of the worlds life is to be maintained.
 !. As Ambassador to Italy for six years Mir. Page displayed qualities probably unsuspected by many, but certainly known to be in the man by former President Wilson whose ap- pointee he was. "Marse Chan" the delightful pen-creation of Thomas Nelson Page the author was known and loved and it Is for his ability to portray such characters and place them in the atmosphere which pic tured truth that MT. Page will be longest remembered. But his under standing of human nature, as evinced in his writings. played no small part in his successful diplomatic life, and his reputation as a writer suffered not at all by his record in the other field of service.
 Strong strokes of the artists brush characterize the portrait of Thomas De Witt Cuyler. He happened to give his talents to the transportation of the world. He was leader and he would have led in whatever path he had taken. His achievements, bring ing him to the chairmanship ofsthe railway executives association, were the result of a strong personality aided always by persistent, hard work. Ills stand recently in keeping his promise to the 3oo,o00 railway workers who remained at their posts during the strike that they would not suffer in their seniority rights although a much easier way out of the strike situation was presented was characteristic of that firmness
 The lives and activities of these two men, passing into the long quiet almost simultaneously, suggest to the thoughtful the vast range of life's possibilities.

LOCAL WOMEN WHO WORK.

If one looks back through todas' yesterday or the day before that anu considers the people with whom one has transacted business it will be seen That women have prcdominated' Tn shopping, of course, most Of the pur- cb.ses have been made from women Tn offices there have been transactions with women stenographers, clerks Tn other matters there have been business talks with women,
 Collectively the men of New Brit- ain. as the men of other cities, should nau.e and take off their hats respect fully to the women who work. Trained for generations to expect men to support them they have thrown aside traditional handicaps' True, some will say that they have sacrificed other good qualities in the process. but 1t must be remembered that the present Is a transition stage.

Many or tne disagreeable features will disappear and there will be left only the splendid picture of women taking a self-sup- porting position when it is proper for 1 them to do so--and women making the most of the mental talents with which they have been endowed.
 These local women who work or ganized. Their organization has pros- pered. Credit should be given them for their initiative. All honor to the women who conceived, organized and continued the Business and Profess sionai women's club and to the mem- bers who sustain 1t in the highest spirit of womanhood-womanhood which should be spiritually free whether IS the soul and heart of the family or one of the cogs of the great business or professional ma chine. s9 s3

SCHOOL PLANS.

It is practicing economy to make adequate plans now for the school buildings that are needed now and those that will surely be needed soon. The New Britain school committee realizes pretty well how difficult it is to get favorable action on plans that seem to touch the future. The members of that committee, intensely interested in school matters, have. had difficulty in providing for the imme- diate needs. They are not at all inclined to be optimistic about how plans for the future will be received. An indication of this situation was shown in the arrangement decided
 upon to place the needs in list. the

WELL, WHAT OF IT?

Suppose the obvious& things are granted. People in this locality are more comfortable today because the weather has treated them well. Now, in November, no protracted cold spell has emphasized the unpleasant coal situation. That Is one of the obvious things. The city Is pretty well off because there Is practically no suffer- ing from unemployment. That is another obvious thing. Nothing more distressing than politics--and perhaps that is distressing enough-concerns us at the immediate moment
 No one can be given credit for the moderate weather. No person or group can be prasied for the lack of nemployment-unle one wishes to enter into protracted political dis cussion. In other words our fairly comfortable condition is the result of conditions over which men have had no control. Laws which men did not formulate are responsible. They are natural laws; and there are laws of supply and demand. We'll, what of it?
 There is this "of it." When the chance comes, as it does often, to encourage movement that will bene- fit others than ourselves, at no cost to ourselves, 1t wouldn't hurt to remember that we have been benefited through no action of our own. Re- membering this, one might well be inspired to give the good movement a push. This is no academic the ory, no sermon on "helping the other fellow" It IS merely the emphasizing of the fact that because real, prac- tical advantages come to us without initiative on our part we will be more practical men and women, more eff cient, because we partake less of the qualities of the parasite, if we give something to others. Perhaps we have not worried because of an empty coal bin. The weather kept us from suffering. Perhaps we own house which needs repairing so that the wind won't blow through it. Repair ing that house would add value to our property, and would make our ten ants more comfortable. That's con crete illustration. And that's that!
