NEW BRITAIN YOUNG FOLKS

The Connecticut Humane Society
offered prizes for posters in conneo-
ton with its activities recently, and
more than 5000 pupils in schools in
some 100 cities and towns entered
drawings in the contest. Seven per
cent of the total amount in cash offer
ed was won by New Britain boys and
girls. This, to say the least, Is a
pretty fine showing and there should
be recognition of it in justice to New
Britain young folks
Drawing posters. Years ago people
would have been inclined to remark
that prizes for washing dishes or dig
ging bitches or something else of the
sort would have been more important.
Even today there are people who de-
precate anything that is not called
manual labor" But those who realize
the many-sided characters of life,
while giving due importance to man
ual labor and work other than artistic,
see, also, the broader life that is being
opened to young people in the en-
phasizing of the importance of life's
artistic side. AS proper care Of the
body and training in athletics is being
given proper place in the school
activities, so art is receiving the at
tention 1t deserves. With solid
foundation of knowledge and the best
methods of gaining it through proper
study of books, a school boy or girl
becomes far better able to make a
success of life when possessing a
sound body and clear mind and an
o appreciation of grace and beauty rep |
resented by the arts.
The young people are to be con-
graduated on their good showing, aid |
their instructors on the way their
pupils have rewarded their efforts.

DANGER ON TRACKS

A warning notice given out by the
railroad company against men, women
and children walking and playing
along the tracks should he emphnaia-
ed. The campaign" which the New
Haven road intends to start against
this practice is one which all orga MIA
lions interested In safeguarding life
should take up. not. OF course for the
sake OF the trouble II would save the
railroad. but rather because by such
emphasis life may be saved.
More and more the schools are be-
coming institutions where other things
than 'readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmatie"
are being taught. The outlook on life
today OF a school child is far broader
than II was years ago. Even the "age

years. Today such matter as this.
as well as the matter of the danger of
plhsinE III hnf slItfls, inc HtIFSsfIs
for cleanliness etc. is one which
should be emphasized in the school
room, There was the day not so long
ago. when even a currents topics"
class was denounced by some parents
as being something outside the iuris-
diction of the school. That day has
passed long since and the young pupil
In school often puts to shame older
people when this country's affairs and
even international affairs are dis
cussed.
So this danger of walking along the
right OF way of the railroad should be
made a matter of special note in the
schools and elsewhere. People have no
right there anyway and children, es-
pecially must be kept off that danger
GUS ground.

CITY LITIGATION

Anyone who is familiar with the
records of cities other than New Brit
ain as shown by cases In court, Is
stuck by the recent freedom of this
city from litigation that proves costly
TO the city. Perhaps the greatest rea-
son for this citys freedom from liti-
cation is the cooperation Of the poo
pie, the claims committee and the
corporation counsel in settling claims
against he city out of court There
has been shown no tendency on the
part of the people who have claims
against the city to seek excessive
damages. There has been no apparent
desire to go to court rather than TO
settle the claim in accordance with
the idea of fairness conceived by the
claims committee after hearing the
facts. And the corporation counsel
has played his important part in keep
ing the claims committee informed as
TO the possible damages that might be
obtained were an action against the
city to be successful. This spirit has
helped to keep down the amount OF
litigation In which the city might be-
