 It is understood that the Chamber

 discussed the advisability of recon.
 mending the cutting off of the corner lat the gateman's house on the rail-
 road tracks at West Main street and Central Square. With the new cor
 ner about to be made on Whiting
 street, which is bound to improve the center of Plainville, opinions have
 been ventured on the conditions existing at the end Of the Bristol Manufacturing company's fence. Although 1t Is not believed there will be anything definitely started on the proposition, the plan, in the minds of the commerce officials and town heads. appears to be an excel lent one and in the near future, some thing may be done which will prob ably mean a big change in that spot The plan in brief. would be to cut | off the section at the fence where the gatemAn's house now stands. This would bring West Main street almost on an even line with the sidewalk at Center Square, starting at Ryders store. The gateman's house would be moved across the street and double gate would be necessary to cover the then widened street in, stead of the single one which Is now in operation.
 There would be nothing touched on the side across from the Bristol
 Manufacturing companys plant as that walk is now on a direct line
 with Manning's Automobile Accessory shop in the center
 The cost of putting the plans into actual operation would not be large,
 1t is said. If the street was widened

 safety.

Besides, the jewels shone with many
colors, and he liked that. So he
stretched his arm towards them. At
that moment, God sent an angel to
save the future deliverer of Israel.
And the angel quickly pushed the
baby's hand towards the Goals. Moses
seized one, felt it burning him, and
with all a baby's helplessness put
it at once in his mouth.
His life was saved But because
of the burns, when he began to speak,
says the Talmud, he always spoke
slowly and with little difficulty.
That made Moses shy and unwilling
to trust to his powers of speech.

Why Moses Stalnrnered
A Story from the TaImud

When God told Moses to go back
to Egypt and to tell Pharaoh to let
the Children of Israel go, Moses an
swered that he was heavy of speech
that he was a slow, stammering
speaker. The Talmud has this pretty
story to tell, about how Moses be-
came stammerer.
Pharaoh's daughter, you remem-
Der, saved the little baby Moses from
the Nile, and brought him UP as her
own child. Pharaoh made no objec-
tions, especially as Moses was very
beautiful and lively baby, and won
the hearts of all who looked at him.
In fact Pharaoh himself liked to play
with this little foster-child of his
daughters, and would often hold the
baby on his knee.
One afternoon they were having
their usual game. But Moses,
was one of those babies that you can
hardly hold because they are so full
of life, and jump and dance so,-
reached up his little arms and caught
at the crown of Pharaoh, and pulled
it from his head!
There was a dreadful silence in
the Court, because that was very
bad omen. The kings wise men had
a great deal to say about it. Nearly
all of them said:
"Oh king, this child that you are
holding will live to deprive you OF
your crown and your power, If you
permit him to live. Be advised by
us, and kill him!" But there was
one among the kings advisers who
said: s'It is only harmless infant.
The child does not know what he is
doing. Why should you have him
killed, oh Pharaoh" The princess
was very grateful to the man VINO
spoke up for mercy.
But it seemed as if the other ad-
visers would have their way. 1t was
almost decided to slay the child,
when again the merciful advisor in
terfered:
"Let us see if the child is really
born to be your enemy, oh Pha-
raoh," he said, cor whether he is
merely an innocent baby. Let them
put before the child bowl of gleam-
ing Jewels, and bowl of hot Goals,
and see which he will reach out for.
If he takes the gems, it will show
that he really understands more than
an ordinary child knows. But il ne
takes the glowing Goals, the king will
know that the little one meant no
harm by reaching for the crown :
This advice pleased everybody, even
the other advisors. A bowl of red
Goals was placed on the table, and a
bowl of beautiful gems.
Now Moses was really bright
baby. When he stretched out his

Dear Boys and Girls:


Dear Boys and Girls:
I want nice long talk with you
this week, because there are so many
things to say, in answer to your let
ters, that I don't find the space for
each Friday. 1t always seems to me
that by the time the Sabbath Angel
comes to call for this little magazine
of yours, to carry it away to the
Editors office-where it becomes

nearly ready to stop writing to you.

big wings in business-like fashion.

chair. In a minute or two he stops
me.

page now," he. says.
''Just a little more" I plead.
'sShe's such nice girl, and she'll
think we don't like her if I don't an

''If she's nice girl, she'll know
better. We DO like her. he says
promptly, "But-next week."

floats out of the window, and flies
away to you. So that's how it is
that we don't get more space for let
ters. There are so many lovely
things that I want to show you
stories that I enjoyed when I was
youngster, and that I am only too
glad to pass on to you-poems that
have been written specially for the
Jewish boys and girls who are grow
ing up, by poets who love and un-
derstand them-riddles that show
q how much fun there is in learning
about the famous characters and
places in Jewish History-that it's
hard to get everything in, every
week. For you see, these stories and
poems, and wise and humorous say
ings are legacy to you. They have
been handed down to you by the
past generations of Jews. And it's
only right that you should have them
without any more delay. III your
reat-grandmother had left you
beautiful bracelet, and your great
grandfather had left your brother
a handsome watch, you would both
feel entitled to have it as soon as
possible, wouldn't you? Well, this
is very much the same thing.)
Now I'll go back to the girl in
Pittsburgh" and tell her what have
been wanting to say for such long
time. She has sent me good many
stories, week by week, and I haven't
been able to print one of them. Why
not? Because they are written, as
she herself admits, quickly; and be-
cause she hasn't the patience, or per-
haps hasn't the time, to go over them
again and make them more interest
ing and shorter. Now am not lee
turing Selma-I'll call her that

that her thoughts "come too fast"

she has written. If that's the way it
is, Selma, keep on writing quickly,
because that must be your natural
way of writing. In time you will
want to "sloW up" and go more care
fully. And in the meantime, you can
go on sending your stories to me.

cause I am interested in you. But
I cannot promise to print them in

be disappointed about that Because
I can only print in the Sabbath An

tions that are short enough to fit into
our one page, and that are interest
ing enough, and carefully enough
written, to interest the other boys
and girls who read it. Some day,
perhaps, even though you write
quickly, you will be able to write
something good enough to print.
But even though you are quick,
Selma, think you could be more
careful I'll tell you how
When you have finished the story,
and the rush of your thoughts is over,
then you ought to put it away for a
day or so, and afterwards read it
over again, and see what you can do
about correcting it and making it
more interesting. That may not be
as pleasant as writing down your
thoughts just as they come to you
it isn't!-but it is very necessary.
Have you ever heard the saying
"Easy writing makes hard reading"
and the other saying "Hard writing
makes easy reading? Do you un-
derstand now, what they mean? The
harder you work over your story, the
easier it is for anyone to read it.
See?
Now I want to speak to the rest
of you about the stories and poems
and essays you send in. like what
you write, and the best proof OF that
is that I have quite waiting list OF
manuscripts by my readers, waiting
to be printed. That's lovely.
But I don't want anybody to ask
me to ssend back this story if you
can't print it., because it is my only

who sends away his or her only copy

to lose it! That is thing you should
never do, if you value your work.
You must always be sure that you
have a complete copy for yourself,
before you trust your manuscript to
the letter-carriers, and to the editors.

work, you may be able to find some

things that I am telling you may

that way. 1t does one good to be
corrected, and everybody has some
thing to learn. Just keep on writing
to me, and sending me your work.

special subjects superimposed. But the
time is not ripe to abandon instruction
ly means of courses in special SUBJECTS
since that mode OF instruction corrc-
sponds exactly to the condition OF the
law which is to be taught. Moreover
because the law Is taught thus IN SUD
tects, 1t by no means follows that each
subject is to be a legal world OF It's
own, unrelated to the other subjects In
the curriculum. Indeed, as things are
now. students counteract any such Ten
dency in practice by constantly bring
ing over ideas from one subject TO an
other and compelling teaching OF
every subject with reference to the doc
trines OF every other. Any such ten
Gency Is corrected also in some meas
Iro by changing teachers from one SUD-
ject to another from time to time.
1T may be admitted that the divi-
sion into subjects Is in some measure
artificial. But it may be made as little
artificial as possible by teaching each
subject in the light of the whole science
OF law and not merely by narrowly
dogmatic method. 1t Is submitted thai
this is the right line of progress rather
than to divide the curriculum into two
parts, one dogmatic and the other abb
stract and theoretical. Instead of add
ing an apparatus OF theoretical courses
as such the results and modes of thought
OF the legal science of to-day should
be introduced into each course In the
practical curriculum, and the student
should learn that science as he learns
the common law by studying its appii-
cations in the administration Of Justice
and generalizing therefrom.
Revision Only Necessary.
Hence radical changes in the cuc-
riculum are not called for. Revision
and readjustment will achieve all that
is desirable. The labor and expense of
preparing case books will make even
this conservative program difficult. But
1t must come soon and we need to be
working toward II at once.
Increase in the number OF students
calls for more effective methods of APP
plying the teaching power to the student
body. The development OF system of
the common law whereby the clements
common to large number of subjects
may be presented effectually once for
all is the direction in which improve
ment is to be sought. but the school
cannot move much faster than the law
in this respect. It can demonstrate
and can preach the need Of better logical
reconciling OF the different departments
of our law with each other and Of dis
covering general principles pervading
the whole upon which the phenomena of
the different subjects may be brought
together.
so long as there is, for example. one
set Of doctrines governing the courts In
case OF a sale OF chattel. and another
set of doctrines and a different mode
of thought governing in case of a sale
OF land, 1t is necessary to teach Anglo
American law In terms OF subjects be-
cause the law is in that stage Of de-
velopment."
