"CLINIC''

The free "clinIc" is one Of the
most beneficial of the institu-

word "clinic" is derived from
the Greek through the French
"clinique" which means "reclin-
ing" The clinic patient, prop
erly speaking, is one who is con-
fined to bed and who is treated
in the presence of students of

AL SMITH AND SCHOOLS.

It is a peculiar fact that father even though he has been very spc- cessful tand the rule may not apply to fathers who have been failures) who has had little schooling is the one most anxious to have his children have the best of schooling. A father who has made a success may be apt 10 feel that he could have gone much higher if ho had not been handicap ped by a lack Of education. A father who hps not made a success can't sec success for anyone, probably unless 1t should come through good luck.
 Governor smith, or New York, is strong for schools. lie wants every child In this country to have the ad- vantage of as good free schooling as it is possible 10 obtain for him. He himself had little. And yet. in this country, the wealthy and particular are not interested especially in the public schools, except in a city like New Britain, where private schools are lacking, because they can afford to have their children go 10 private schools. Of course the reason for this preference is often the parents desire to have their children associate with the elite" and all that. Occasionally there is the honest belief that the pri- vate schools are superior as many ot them are "a New York city, for in- stance. where the children Of many of the moderately well.to-do attend the private schools.
 But the ideal situation in this coun- try would be to have the public schools so good that people Of all purses would prefer to have their chill dren attend them. For fin those schools America should be develop cd: life as it is should be presented to inc young students. and the char acters of the future citizens strength ened by contact with others Of the world.
 New Britain Is growing pretty par ticular about it's schools and 1t will beco ne more so as time goes on. Into those schools go. day after day. the future citizens of the country. Their surroundings should he made to mean something. In this ncld there is room for a great advancement which the instructors and those at the head of school matters are only too glad 10 give the moment authority is given them-and the moment the people zee the need of giving that authority. Look to our schools and be ready for the great changes that must be made in them in order that they may keep abreast of the times.

The Herald seized upon the sn- nouncement made a few days sgo that the city would cell at cost and plant tree. without cost in front of residences in the city provided those wishing trees would notify the board of pubic works on or b1fore May I. The vision Of the splendidly att tractive appearance Of New Britain in the future. with it's streets lined with great trees was an enticing one. Moreover every property holder who eoes 10 this trouble today will in- crease ths value of his property, and thsf value Will continue to increase ese3 day as the trees in front grow srsnx and old.

DENTAL wonK IN SCHOOLS.

Tn eHect thlS cofiHieht ID u'hio' propaganda.

 The action of New Britain Dental society in voting to have the execu- tive committee take action on the srhool boards resolution to discon- tinue dental hygiene work in the public schools is approved. The State Dental Hygiene association has Appropriated a fund to carry on this work in the schools. The local organ nation, therefore. believes action should be taken 10 persuade the school board to continue this work.
 Unless we are entirely mistaken the only reason for giving ID this work Is . lack of funds for it. The services of an official were dispensed with or something of the sort. Whatever the cause this work, perhaps moro than any other, should be continued.
 It was but . few years ago that -a..~l.i... ka.a. "A dis.axar thst thn teeth caused many Of the troubles which pull men and women down to ruin. Gradually the Information has sceped Into the intelligence of comparatively few people. Each year brings enlightenment, and today many know of the terrible dangers coming from infected teeth and gums and ether parts Of tho body diseased be- cause of bad teeth. The teeth them- selves. even, may appear to be perfect ly healthy. They may be beautiful teeth. But at their roots may be ab- scesses from which there comes poi son which is being absorbed by the system constantly until finally the hn- man frame breaks down with a dis eased heart, mind, brain or vital or san. No part of the body seems to be exempt from the poison that may come from the teeth. Some specialists refuse to treat a patient until X-ray pictures of their teeth have been taken.
 And much of this begins in child hood. Lack Of proper care is the first cause. Attention at that time may prevent blindness, deafness, insanity even, waiting for the later years. No enc who has not had the personal ex- perience Of intimate knowledge Of the horrible results coming from a lack Of attention 10 the teeth is able 10 understand inc importance of con stant care. And people who can "chew their victuais all right" can not Do persuaded that the twitching of their faces. the nervousness that sometimes drives them wild. the palns of Rheumatism Or other bodily ills would all disappear were their teeth attended 10 or pulled out Of their mouths where they are living things sending out their poison doses to bring about the collapse of the body.
 Propaganda for dentists? All right. perhaps it is But these are facts which the most cursory study of the matter will reveal, and which should be taken into consideration in plan ming what we shall do for our chil- srsn in order to give them fair start in life.
 Renew the fight 10 have dental hy- sisne a part of the school work.

who does the thing which surprises others. than to be one of those who. seeing what you have done, are in- spired by you to equal your record. It is more worth while, in other words. to blaze the trail than to follow it, even though you blaze q better one yourself than has the pioneer trail maker.
 The bit of philosophy is suggested indirectly by the news of an old base ball pitcher, Jack Quinn. who was re- garded some time ago as "has been" too old for good work. He ''cariie back" and one of the greatest helps to efficient work was his ability to de- feat the baseball team the uniform of which he used to wear. This. in turn, brings up the fact that baseball pitch CTS who are released" by ono team are usually able, when playing against that team. to pitch the best baseball of which they are capable. In this success against their own teammates there is mere than the ordinary in- centive--the desire for revenge. That is present. of course. They would rather defeat the team the manager of which did not consider them worthy to remain as part of his outfit, than any other. But there is also, and of more power, the confidence acquired by the knowledge of the fact that certain members of that old team of- ten failed to hit the ball when they wanted to. Every one of them had failed. Well, "I'll make 'em fail; l know what lot of punk hitters they are" And the old pitcher goes to work and proceeds to make them fail, just because he has the confidence that he is able to do it. And they are not punk hittcrs' at all.
 Remembering what people have done who have had fewer chances than we, is apt to bring to the right thinking man, first a bit of feeling of shame--proper humility; then anger anger at ourselyes--then confidence Of the sort that makes us go out and so 50 to it.

TRAFFIC AROUND THE PARK.

A thorough trial, beginning Mon- day, of one-way traffic about Central Park, is to be made in the two weeks following. This is the arrangement which the Herald has advocated and by which it believes traffic will be facilitated and the merchants and everyone concerned will be bene- fited.
 This determination was arrived at last night at meeting of the common council ordinance committee attended by an unusual number Of persons who had something to say concerning the proposed ordinances. The plan is merely a trial preparatory to the adoption of an ordinance if the trial proves a success.
 As previously outlined in the Her. aid many times the arrangement pro- vides for csst.bound traffic coming down west Main street turning south at the park. passing along the west side Of the park to point about op- posite the Savings Bank and turning north there, fl not headed for more southern point, and passing north on Main street. Thus there will be only south -bound traffic west of the park, and only north-bound traffic east of the park. There will be only vest bound traffic north of the park on West Main street.
 The probable arrangement that will be made regarding the isle of safety at the south end of the park and the turning point there. will be that the isle of safety will be moved north SO that there will be no open space for the passage of automobiles between the park and the present isle Of safety. This will make less confusion ss to the passageway for turning automobiles. They will turn just be- yond the isle of safety. as it will be then located, instead Of turning, as now. between the park and the isle Of safety--a spot which is, at pres- ent, always dangerous.
 It is planned to have this one-way traffic plan in operation from 9:so a. m. to 6:so p. m. every day and to use it Saturday nights as well. At the end of the two weeks trial the re- suits will be noted and reports heard as to its feasibility. Action will be taken in accordance with the decision based upon the results.
 Of course, such an arrangement must come eventually. We trust all will find it helps rather than harms the business Of those located in the center. Certainly if will facilitate traffic.
New Britain herald., 1924-05-02

This is one case where man may benefit himself and at the same time bring added attractiyeness to the city where his home is.
 With the hope that more people might be persuaded to plan to have trees planted this year, the Herald obtained q wlllingly-giren extension Of time in which to make appllca- tion for these trees. and City En- gineer Williams stated that appli- cations for trees received today and tomorrow will be taken care of, al- though May is passed.
 It would seem almost needless to emphasize the value, practical and artistic, of this movement. Yesterday it was noted that the Providence Journal, speaking of the movement In Waterbury to increase the num- Der of trees which adorn the city, said in part:
 There is no reason why our
 manufacturing centers should be
 shadeless, with streets baking hot
 in summer. There is every req
 son. indeed, why they should be
 quite otherwise. Waterbury has
 made fine If beiated start in the
 right direction. It hopes to put
 out 500 trees every year and the
 outlook is good for the planting
 of that number within the next
 few days. Other factory towns
 ought to take notice.
 The Herald takes considerable pride in the fact that adoption of the zoning plan which it was the first to urge and which it continued to advocate until beginning was made, is prac- tically assured of adoption. We would feel almost as great satisfse- ton if we might emphasize this tree planting plan in such a way that there would come as a result a city of slor- ious shade. This plan contains the sort of practical sentiment which loses none of it's beauty because of the ma terial benefits 10 ceme from it.
 And do we urge again that prop erty owners notify the board of pub lie works today or tomorrow that they will want those trees planted in front of their property to give to them and theirs and to the people of tho city the pleasure of natures beauty.
