A REAL LOSS

Judge Bernard r. Gaffney has re-
 iterated his statement made and men,
 toned some time ago in the Herald
 that he would not again serve on the school board. For over 20 years he has carried much of the burden of school matters on his broad shoulders and has brought to the deliberations of the board spirit of common sense that has at once checked the plans of the impractical and at the same time helped the too conservative to see the necessity of making use of modern ideas and methods.
 Judge Gaffney has been and is the sort of man the school board, es- pecially needs. He has the practical wisdom which realizes that innova- tions winch are purely "fads" have no place in the school program, and he he has that understanding of the value of education that will not allow him to disapprove of real progress sive step even though many. not un- derstanding. may stamp it with the stigma of modern nonsense"
 It will be difficult to i'll his place adequately, as it is always difficult to find q man public spirited enough and wise enough to devote time and thought which could be used more profitably in his private business. to the affairs of the city. There is no doubt but that he feels this step a sentimentally difficult one to take. He has an interest in the children of the l city and in the far treatment in the 1 important matter Of education. For some time, il may bc predicted, he will | feel that he has given up a work | which he ought to continue. But were every citizen Of the city, in the posi- ton occupied here by him. to give as much oS himself to the important in- tercsts of the city as he has, New Brit ain would take that inevitable jump ahead far more quickly than she will under present conditions.
 Judge Gaffney deserves rest from this arduous and often thankless work but we need lot more like him.

THI; HIRE

From personal experience-if the
 expression may be used--the Herald
 is in a position to express the deepest
 sympathy for those who have had the
 misfortune to suffer material damage through fire. This newspaper takes this opportunity to voice that sympa- thy for the men who arc concerned over the confagfation here Sunday night No matter how adequately they may feel they arc insured. their way will not be an easy one pending set. tlement.
 There is reason for great safisfac- tion in the fact that there were no fatalities. The experience was a terrI- bie one for many of tho dwellers in the Main street building to undergo. but fl Is our sincere wish that no bad results will come to them.

PERHAPS

Every young baseball player wht
 goes to spring training camps of thu
 National American or other recognized ! leagues. is perhaps" player, nc
 matter how good he may have ap. peared in the semi professional ranks
 Even the players purchased or draft
 ed, experienced professional, often fall 1 down in faster company. So it is no
 slur upon a new player to say that the 1 question of the breaks" enters into
 his chances for future success.
 Baseball, years ago. was not what
 it is today In it now are many college | men, many young chaps of excellent education and character and who lead I the most exemplary of lives. It is not 1 recommended to everyone as the best profession to enter, but often it payes
 the way toward greater things, and
 often it offers a splendid opportunity
 to young man to amount to more. eventually, than he would had it not
 been for his skill at the game.
 New Britain is especially interested just now in a young man who was but few years ago an active member of the Boys Club of this city that ex- eellent institution which inculcates the right ideas in boys who might not otherwise have the chance to learn the many things to be learned outside of school. Frank Wojak, known as Chuck" star third baseman on al local team last season will have his chance with the Baltimore Orioles. He is said to be an excellent player, a 1 good hitter and the possessor of n 1 great throwing anna necessity for 1 one occupying the difficult corner" What is more those who know him declare that he is right-thinlling | young chap, who will prove to be q good representative of this city in this game of baseball in which we are all interested. He may make good with the Orioles, or he may fail. It is quite certain that his time spent in the local Boys Club, under the taetful leader ship of those in charge, will help not nnly to make him popular with and expected by those with whom he as- iociates, but will increase his chances or making good. We wish him well md would remind him that if he does lot stick" his experience will be only imilar to that of many men who ul- imately became starts at the game.

SHE'S .EOR 'EAI"

Tho dear old women Of botI
 sexes--and there arc quite as many il
 the one as in the other--will be shock.
 cd to hear that a young thing Of only
 l1f years does not believe with said
 dear old women" that the modern
 girls ought to be spanked.
 "The modern girl is all right" she
 declares "In my day women worked
 too hard; we had too many children.
 and we slaved too much. Girls are
 exactly right in declaring their in-
 dependence from bondage" stroking
 her white hair gently and trying 10 quiet her young energy. this defender of the girl of today looks back over her 1i4 years of life and goes on. acc cording to report: "If 1 could live again yon bet I'd bob my hair and smoke cigarettes"
 Of course said dear old women of both sexes, especially the males, will declare that the giddy creature who thus approves of the modern girl, after her 1i4 years Of experience in life, is too immature 10 form an opinion worth anything. Probably she, when a girl. was ahead of her time; probably she refused to be q family woman and lived in careless luxury.
 Quite wrong, D. 0. W. of both sexes. This woman who says the modern eitl is all right had so many children she has forgotten some Of their names- not strange perhaps. she is 114 years old. and some died almost a century i lgo. She has A grand children. 50 I reat-gtand- children and some great ! sreat-grand-c children. She came down | he Mississippi in q dat -bottomed boat l Io4 years ago. The only money she 1 rad was that coming from the sale Of Jutter and eggs which she sold al the tore. and from the time she was ten -eafs old she had to drive team of ,Nes clearing land. And Maybe that's vhy I'm so glad 10 see women having
 little chance 10 live, these days" she dds.

 It was an unfortunate occurrence.

 As long as the double standard of morals exists. for instance, some of the criticism might well be directed at the boys and young men. There is a song popular on the vaudeville stage just now which is not so silly after all: "A Man is to Blame After All"

The case is expected to be in the hands of the jury late today The defense was that Miss Miller had no intention of killing him but that she wanted him herself.
