HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Principal Louis r. Shade is q gifted educator whose value to New Britain Is not mlnimized. He is profoundly in- ierested in the welfare Of his school and city. His Interest is not academic nor is it based on the amount of salar, ho receives. Nature endowed him lavlshly with the mentality and en- thusiasm of one whose chief ambition in( life Is to direct the footsteps Of young men and women. to mould their :. characters and to train their minds.
 Regardless of his high standing and appreciation Of his worth, the public will not agree with his proposal to dis continue interschoastc athletic con- tests. Sports are as much part Of the school In modern. times as the buildings and the books and should not be discouraged. Like study. sports also make for manhood and woman- hood. They add to the prestige of a school in the eyes of other cities and they make school life more attractive in the estimation of the students. : Dissatisfaction with the athletic sit uation at high school has been ex- pressed recently. There has been much smoke. there is perhaps some fire. The matter has been brought to head by the letter of Principal Slade to Superintendent Holmes recom- mending the abolishment of inter- school athletic contests. A crisis is pending which it would be folly to. ignore.
 If an investigation is desirable, and it seems desirable, an open hearing should be held before a committee consisting of members of the board of education and alumni who still have deep interest in the success of the Red and Gold on the athletic field. Athletes who have grievances could present them. If any person believes | his honor questioned he could have an | opportunity to present his case.
 Disseminating athletic relations with | other schools would be any easy way out of an unpleasant situation. But unpleasant situations have been faced before, and this one should be faced and conquered.
 Athletics must be kept alive at the high school.

"sTUNTs FLYING

A dispatch from Los Angeles say!
 that more than 100 aviators united ir
 forming the Professional Pilots As
 sociation with the chief object tho
 abolition of stunt flying, which is
 said to be responsible for more thar | half the number of airplane accidents This is a move that will correct in great measure the erroneous inn
 pression so general that flying in the
 air is still of little practical use to
 men and nations. Doing away with
 stunt flying will not only lessen the
 number of accidents but it will make
 less prominent the accident news of
 flying. Deaths are spectacular and
 reporting of them is news that is
 necessary. But the number of acci-
 dents, now so emphasized, gives the general idea that the use being made of airplanes is unquestionable wis., dom.
 Few realize the fact that the for est service is using airplanes in tim Der patrol in Oregon and California, so necessary to the conservation and protection of our wooded lands; the coast guard use the airplane: sections of the country are being re-mapped with the. aid of the airplane; scien- tific study of fisheries is facilitated by the airplane; the air mail of the post office department has operated with increasing efficiency for the last three and half years and night flying has reduced the time for crossing the con- tinent to 30 hours and less.
 This emphasizing of but few of the fields in which the advancement has been made in as romantics is made necessary if the situation is to be properly understood because of the frequent shocks which have come through the death of men engaged in this undertaking. And now It IS learned from authoritative source that over 50 per cent of these deaths are caused because one aviator tries to outdo all others in stunt" or spectacular flying. True it may be that executing these stunts" may bring greater skill in the handling of the airplane and may in some measure | make an air pilot better able to han ile his plane when an emergency arises But the practice of taking needless risk has done far more to 1urt the progress of aviation than to improve it. Unanmous approval of ,arrying this line Of endeavor to it's init will aid in obtaining ways and means to further the cause of avia- ion which holds such wonderful pos- The universal approval and of it may best be ,ained by avoiding unnecessary risks md emphasizing the real practical made.

HOW LoNGe

New Britain has deserved lower In, surance rates for long time. Ger tainly it should be advanced to a city of the first class in this regard Be- fore the two-platoon system was in- troduced it had an efficient depart ment and efficient fire fighting appar- tus. When some matter was brought up such as the character of its hose coupling it was found that New Brit ain had been for years fully prepared in this aspect of protection.
 But the people of the city were not satisfied merely to recognize the merits of it's department in a general way. They wanted those efficient men who form the force to be treated as they should be treated. They, the people of the city, voted to grant them the two-platoon system which would allow them to live like other workers, having portion each day free to use as they desired. Their hours were made better, through this system. not because the people feared that the fremen under unreasonaby long hours would not continue to give the good service they had in the past. but rather because the fremen had given that good service and the people thought they were entitled to decent hours.
 So, at considerable expense, and af- ter great delay. the flremen were given the two-platoon system. The relief from the long hours, of course, made stronger department already strong -one which had shown its worth over and over again. But the two-platoon system quite naturally gave the men a chance to become more fitted to their dangerous work.
 So the insurance companies, already protected amply by the fire depart T1ent oG this city. were more fully pro- tected through this action by the peo- pie Of tiie city. - And now comes the superintendent Of insurance for the New Haven rail- read and eeEsfatgjates our depart raeht on spleadid work recently per- formed.
