GIT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

You know about the 'saddest words of tongue or pen;" they are Tt might have been." Well, the opening of the evening schools brings to many the thought of what might have been if they had only taken advantage, early in life, of the chances they had to learn. And it brings to the mind of many too, the chances they did not have to learn. Years ago there were not as many of these advantages as there are now, and years ago boys and girls men and women had to work harder for the opportunity to get a good education.
 But today there is little excuse for most people if they do not try to get all the information they can in order to better their condition in life. The chance to go to school is not limited 10 the young. These evening schools are primarily for the person who IS busy earning the daily bread during the day. In that fact they have a tremendous appeal 10 those who realize how much happier, more pro- ductive life is when work is based on knowledge. There will be three Of these schools, the Central Grammar School where Grammar School diploma is given graduates: the Elihu Burritt school and the Trade School. 1 How much would not men and women | now well advanced in life and having suffered always from lack of the help education brings. have given 10 | have had these chances when they were youEg-in the days when they were not too worn out by the labors

COMMUNICATED
Thanks, to New Britain Girls
 Sent. IS, 1923.

Thanks to New Britain sal,, Girls ;. ,o,. The New Britain Herald.
 Gentlemen:-
 am an overseas American Legion man who went to the convention Tn, your most hospitable city and won der if you would care to print this letter in your paper. l feel very deeply in debt to the young women from the factories, stores, etc., who entert9meo us so wonderfully at the two Armory dances. Their spirit and hospitality made two evenings for us visiting Legion men of such enjoyment that we will never forget them and all they did, even to the making of their own costumes. feel that such effort should get it's reward. We get kicks in this world but very little appreciation, and I want them to know how l feel and how greatly I thank them for those two Armory dances. l have heard the same thoughts voiced by other Legion men who were there. These young women own a warm spot in our hearts and memories. It was the best conven- ton of the Connecticut department or the Legion ever held, and these young women had one of the biggest parts 10 put over and make 1t a success, that of making us strangers feel at home in your city. Every one else who had anything to do with the great success of the whole affair deserves a lot of thanks. and I myself and Post IS of Ridgefeld, Conn.,, join me in thanks to all, especially to all the young women who were French In costume but real true Americans In manners and hospitality.
 Sincerely, .

PLAN RELIEF PROGRAM
White House Expected to Announce An Agricultural Policy For West Within a Few Days.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The admin istration is studying the agricultural situation in the west with the purpose of determining on some program of relief within tho next 10 days.
 That the problem during that pe- riod will receive the attention of President Coolidge and his advisers was stated by Senator Borah of Idaho after an hours conference with the executive. Senator Borah said he told the president that from his observa- ton he believed the entire agriculture situation west of the Mississippi river had never been more serious than it is at this time.
 As to the question of calling an ex- tra session of congress to deal with the situation Senator Borah said rhis had been discussed but that he agreed with the presidents view that the effort to define program for this purpose should be made before an ex- tra session was called.
 If we cannot find remedy before such session. the Senator said We probably could not find one after wards"

G,-ARDIsG HEALTH

Pains have been taken in these co.'s umns just recently to emphasize inc importance Of safeguarding the health of all the people in the city by taking all precautions in ones own home Measles and the disease of diphtheria have been discussed by the superin' tcndent of health of the city. and eds torial comment has been made there on.
 Now there comes the news Of diph- theria in the state. New Britain IS not exempt. There Is no alarming situation threatening but there is a situation which demands added attention to this matter of health. It Is not ono to be read Of casually and discussed In theoretical way. It Is one of practical importance that should be kept con- stantly in mind for the sake of every individual in town. If your neighbor's child is sick you ought to be concern cd not only because you sympathizc with him but also because there has come a danger to your own child. 1T family in far distant part of the city is suffering from a communicable disease their condition affects you be- cause it may be the starting point Of an epidemic that will sweep the city
 Guard against disease as you would watch for visible army re- ported to be threatening. Disease is a force far more likely to bring tragedy to your h ome just now than any army existing today.

TIE COMING FALL.

The word 'pfephfeuhess '""N along with the war and has been so persistently used that it, like charity. eoyereih multitude of things Never inc less, in spite Of the slightly worn' out tsint of the word, it's a good one and one that suggests many wise principles including thrift. foresight vision, The thrifty man prepares TOT the rainy day; the man with fore- sight plans for business In such way that it will meet future conditions; the person of vision looks far ahead in- decd and holds dreams which are combined with the practical to such an extent that he stands out head ana shonlders above others about him.
 Well when we come down to a simple matter like changing seasons the word vision" Is a bit too ann bilious to use unless 1t be applied to the more or less spiritual side Of life where a man with vision secs life's possibilities for him. the chances Of success growing smaller with the pass ing of each season. each year or each decade. In this, one may have vision, too,
 Moreover, discussing changing sea- so,s inc word foresight" is too pro- found inasmuch as foresight or weather comes more or less instino- lively. If 1t looks like rain the man picks up his umbrella without think ing much of what he does; it is in- stinctive action. As the mornings grow colder he takes his oVercoat when he goes to work. The sugges- ton comes from the most primitive part of him--his body. protecting It. self from the cold.
 But preparedness covers all these expressions which mean that person takes account of what may come. II may be used in a larger or limited sense, And at the end of each season, or as that end approaches, the person who would make the most of life and enjoy it to the full as well as the one who would make it the most pro- ductive, should be prepared for another season of the year quite as though he realized that the number of those seasons was limited.
 The fall is here. It will not De long before the leaves will be turning
 to those glorious colors that thrill lovers of the out of doors in all sea
 sons. There will be new beauty all about-the beauty of vast silence which we associate with fall; the last bird songs; the cricket's call, tho hush. Love of the fall is a deep af' lection for that which approaches the somber. It is the time when sincere 1, thought may come on those long walks in the open, the time fol thinking of the significant matters O life with the threatening winter st near. The fall Is the farewell to thu open lands, bit sad, bit melan
 choly, yet, following summers gayety
 it emphasizes for those who have eye ! and hearts to see and feel, the breadtl
 and depth of the mystery of life. II the material things we will be pre-
 pared, we are prepared for the fall The deep significance of the passing
 years as typified by the changing sea
 sons should not be lost to the spirit.

Tao,jRLE IN SPAIN

The Catalan provinces, Tn the coun- try's northeast corner. are spains great industrial region. Being the biz producers, the Galatians pay large share Of the taxes. They say the gov crnment wastes them, mainly on a needlessly iong-drawn-out war Tn Morocco.
 Finally they've baked on keeping this ID. in doing so, they invited other big taxpaying districts to join in their revolt. The Basque prov inces, in the central north, where the innings done, and Galicia, In the northeast, accepted.
 It was so serious that Premier Alhucemas' cabinet had to quit. Whats described as a military d. rectorate," headed by Primo Rivera, captain-genera of Catalonia, has taken the cabinets place.
 Virtually it's something ike Fascist movement, but there are many reds" among the Catalans and Basoues and it may take commun- istic turn yet. It amounts to a near revolution already and threatens to become a real one.

 PART OF SCHOOLS
Ohio Chaplain Doesn't Like to
 See Men Waste Time

Columbus. Sept si,-fsorn m the mind of Chaplain r. 0. Reed of the ohio penitentiary as he watched men brood in their cells during idle time' an idea. which those who are foster ing it declare has been hailed as "the greatest step forward in prison work In years" shortly will be put into ex' eeutien in penitentiariss Of the eoun- try,
 The project has been named the Intra- Wall Correspondence, Schools, and it's project Is to provide means whereby eonviets in their cells may obtain an education in whatever they wish.
 Chaplain Reed has operated such school in the Ohio penitentiary for it months. The students number i,6oo out of a population Of $500.
 Publisher Aids
 Now. with the aid Of Napoleon Hill Of New York. publisher of monthly magazine, Intra- Wall Schools are be- ing established In the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. and budget Of si.5oo. .oo0 has been set to extend the work to every penitentiary In the United States.
 According to Mir. Hill. the greatest employers Of labor in the United States have endorsed the plan and have assured him that every man turned out by the Intra- Wall School and vouched for by its officers will be given position in the work for which he has fitted himself as soon as prison gates close behind him.
 They also have assured him de- clared Mir. Hill. that nothing will be made known of the graduates past life and that he will take his place on equal terms with all other em- ployes.
 What we want to do." said Mfr. Hill, lis to meet mentally these men who are shut off from the outside world. We're going to prove to them that they have something to look for ward to. then put in their hands the tools with which they can carve out their future"
 Great Support.
 Wardens and chaplains of peniten- tiaries in every section of the country have agreed to support the schools. and governors of 45 states have en- | dorsed them. MT. Hill has agreed to donate $2,500 to each school as 1t is founded. National headquarters of the system will be established here, with Chaplain Reed as director. As soon as the Atlanta school is functioning third will be established in the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, prison, and after that two states will 1 be taken at 8 time.
 An administration building to cost $100.o00 is planned for Columbus.
 The method is the same as that, oi recognized correspondence schools. Ali the Ohio penitentiary the lessons have been turned out on hand press by the prisoners. The idea has taker such hold there, according to Chap lain Reed, that 1t is not unusual tc hear men calling to each other from their cells, T got 95 in arithmetic today; boy. I beat you
