or not, but they are primarily gradu-
ates of the public press. 1t furnishes
almost all of their reading and most
Of their topics of conversation. II is
not merely the medium which brings
to them news Of the outside world. To
them il represents culture. Ii also
plays an ever-growing part in the men
tai life OF those whose schooling has
been more extensive.
That is a SOLDERING thought to any
newspaper editor. II invites much
heart searching as to whether the press
is living up to the standards called for
in any such powerful instrument of
education
The usual verdict of the newspaper
profession-however the other profess
sions may feel about it, is that the
press, as n whole, is really doing this
very thing. and serving the public need
and contributing to the shaping of the
public mind to the best of its ability.
Any editor will grant that there Is
much Of a light or fippant or other
wise undesirable nature in the present
day press, but viii urge that a press
that was perfect according TO the no.
tion Of highbrow reformers would never
have enough readers to support il.
Editors are driven to the practical con
clusion that human nature has to be
taken as il is. INDUCED moderately
in its harmless boibles and led on very
gradually TO any high degree Of serious
education or culture.
With all its faults, the American
press today is probably more honest
and fair. and certainly prints a far
larger amount of interesting. true and
valuable information. than any other
press has ever done in this OF any 9TH
er sge-Brattieboro Reformer.

STAMFORD ELEVEN TO MEET NORWALk
 FOR GRID HONORS

Friday. the Stratford High will line up against the strong Norwalk High school football team. The game should prove an exciting affair as Norwalk has always put up a strong opposition in all lines of lay This is Stratford's second game. being de- feated by Shelton last Friday 60 by a fluke play.
 Coach Mead has had stiff workouts every day this week and feels quite confident In the teams play. The team has greatly improved, especially on the defense. Much time has been given to the handling of the ball to eliminate the fumbles which were so prevalent in the last game. New plays have been practiced and the team IS now strong in all departments
 There have been some changes made both on the line and the back field. Saley will be used as tackle being shifted from haIf-back. Way will will be in guard instead of tackle Bayus will be back in the game play ing on left-end. making the line one of the most formidable in years b1eferon. who proved the hero of last weeks game at right half. will be at his regular position at quarterback Hart will probably be used as half back.

DIAL PICKED } PENNANT WINNERS
 BY OWN SYSTEM

Jack Dial, baseball dopester and figure retriever of Pembroke street gave further evidence at the end Of the baseball season this year that he belongs in a class with Al Munro Elias and Hugh Fullerton, and others, as a. baseball prophet and statistlaner Below are MT. Dials 1922 predictions made by the lOCa astrolOger about the first week in May and published in The Times of May Is. They show that the demon dopester picked the correct winners in all three leagues New Haven in the Eastern; New ork dn the National. and New York in the American.
 Dial, who is a student at St. Thomas, Hartford. last year a1so prognosticated the teams. finishing one, two and three in the Eastern, National and American Leagues. Dial it appears is on a fair way to snatch the statistian crown now held by Al Munro Elias.
 Dial follows a System all his own" his friends explain. After following the work of the teams in the early games he draws his cOnCIusrons.' The following forecast was based on dope after one game had been played in the Eastern League and after ten contests were staged in each of the major organizations

SHELBY ELIGIBLE FOR NAUGATUCK
 FOOTBALL GAME

Howard See1ey, 1921 veteran half back, who was ineligible for last weeks opener with Ansonia High, will swing into action in the Red and Blacks game with Naugatuck High at Newfield Park tomorrow after noon. Tomorrow's game was orig inally scheduled for Saturday, but had to be arranged this way because the upstate team plays all of it's games on weekdays.
 While Seeley wifi be back, Lou Berger, who played a great game in the backfeld last week, will be in eligible. If the Hi1ltoppers defeat Naugatuck it will mean quite a feath- CT in the cap of the Robins-Reil1y troupe of footballers. Ansonia, which only beat the locals 12 to 0 last week and Naugatuck were con sidered the strongest High elevens in the state last year, and if the Red and Black makes a good showing with the up-staters as it did with the val ley outfit, the sailing thereafter will be smooth, as these two teams are about the toughest on the Hilltop schedule.
 R. H. S. will probably lineup in this wise: Walker, left end; Allen, right end; Adams, left tackle; Farrar, right tackle; Larson, left guard; Behrens, right guard; Brownstein, center; Shea quart terhack; Seeley, right halfbacl>; Jacobowsky, left halfback; Lynch, fuIlback.

BEATEN
 BY CANS IN 60

Soldier Bartfield, the bucking ibron- cho of pugilisIn, received. a painful surprise at Ebbets Field last night in the form of a severe drubbing from Italian Joe Cans.
 The swarthy Italian outboxed and outpunched the soldier, and had a wide margin of advantage at the close of the tenth and last round.
 Cans battered Bartfeld several times with heavy right handlers to the jaw. Bartfield leaped and bounded like a frenzied acrobat about the ring in his effort to hit Italian Joe Cans or avoid being Init. The soldier swung from his right heel and once nearly hit the ring lights.
 Bartfield landed on Cans at times, but the chief execution was by Cans. Bartfie1d tried to make a wildwind finish, but Cans lasted the limit.
