Cost Of education has been incrcas- ing throughout tho nation; in Con- nnciicut the record for the past five years indicates an increase of 135 per cent The state now spends more than s1a.Goo. 0o6 annually ia teaching it's yomh-a creditable sum consider ing Inc size and population Of the Nutmeg State.
 Assuming that costs in other states have also bccn increasing in spproNi- mstrIy the same ratio. it appears that Connecticut spends more than twice as much money for educational pur- poses as Maryland and twice as much as Georgia. Virtually all the stntes of equal population spend less money. a do macy Of those eith greater pop ulation and wider areas.

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE /. ID LOCAL SCHOOLS
Journal of Education Praises . State and City Systems

That statements by local educators , that New Britain's. educational
 standard is so high that it is the aim of school teachers all over New , England to come here for at least
 few years training are literally true is
 borne out in a striking manner, by
 statements in the June issue of the Journal of Education which states that New Britain public schools are in the front rank among the schools of the country. The article follows:
 New Britain, has been one of the leading educational cities in New England for 75 years and maintains it's prominence.
 The New Britain state normal school, Marcus White, principal, celebrates it's seventy-fifth anniver- sary by entering the best state nor nal school building in New England, costing s750, 900 and the most com- plete building for junior college preparation of elementary school teachers under one roof in the United States.
 The Nov Britain state normal school, created by legislature in 1S49, was the pet creation of Henry Bar nard, the running mate of Horace Mann in public school promotion, and 1t was generally regarded in its early years as the best equipped normal school in the new world,
 Tt was located at New Britain be- cause the citizens were ready 10 make larger financial sacrifices therefor than any other community in the state, more than any other commu- nlty in the United States had made np to that time for such an institu- tio1S Thus carly did New Britain appreciation of profcs- sional preparation Of teachers. lis principals were men of high national reputation.
 To-day, as on every day of these years, the New Britain school has been the leader in many essentials of teacher preparation. For instance, New Britain was the first community in the United States 10 put city schools unreserycdly at the disposal of the state normal school for train ing school purposes. There has never hccn a time when the citizens Of New Britain have not Loyalty and liberally met the needs of the school. There Is not teacher in New Britain who has not frst-class certificate, and | his has been true for many years. | soveniy.nye Of the teachers are i, graduates of thirty-eight different ! Of which nineteen are New England colleges or universities.
 Superintendent Stanley II. Holmes l s one Of tho ablcst leaders of a | school system in tho country. He i mad national reputation for efficient i aducation progress before he went to i New Britain nineteen years ago and i nc has worked faithfully with an l efficient school board in ! heir evolution Of a famously sue . 'cssful school system,
 judge Bernard r. Gaffnev. who . .ctircs this year under a universal protest has been chairman Of the chool board for moro than twenty i've years.
 "Whcn Superintendent Holmes was emp,ed 10 accept other professional crvice tho school board and tho ,uhlic protested so earnestly and . inccrely that he acccdcd 10 their re- Iuest and accepted thrcoyrar crm.

Near Zero Weather For the
Past Few Days Holds
Sway in Mountain
Home

Mountain Home and nearby has
been experiencing below freezing
weather for the past few days. The
colder wave hit here last Tuesday
morning and continued for some ht-
tie time thereafter. A cold north
wind has helped to exaggerate the
actual weather conditions. Accord
ing to the older residents of this sec
ton the present weather condition
is more or less unusual owing to the
fact that 1t arrived SO suddenly, al
most unannounced as it were, as It
was quite comfortable up until last
Tuesday morning, when the weather
man evidently decided for a quick
change.
The cold weather is reported from
all over the Northwest and as far
south as Arizona and New Mexico
and in numerous instances is ac-
companied by heavy snow storms.

ANSWER in CONTEST
Incumbent Denies Irregu-

Votes in Hammett
Precinct

Thomas Trathen, the forepart of
the past week filed his answer to the
allegations of w. C. Ruberry rela-
tive to the contest of the vote of
Hammett Precinct, wherein Mr.. Ru-
berry states that there were irreg-
ularities, which If corrected, would
make him the successful candidate
for the office of County Assessor. Ac-
cording to the poll book as received
by the Board of County Commission
ers. the tally marks totaled forty
three and the total was marked as
fifty-three, after making this correc-
ton the commissioners as a board of
canvassers declared Mr.. Trathen
elected and Mr.. Ruberry has asked
for a recount of the votes in that
precinct.
Mr.. Ruberry filed his contest pa
pers some time ago and during the
forepart OF the past week, Mr.. Trath-
en- filed his answer, wherein he de-
MED that there were any irregulari-
It's in that particular precinct and
he protests against a recount owing
to the fact that the ballot box was
in the hands of unauthorized parties
for several days prior to its delivery
to the County Seat, which he de-
clares is contrary to law. On these
grounds Mr.. Trathen asks that the
request of Mr.. Ruberry for recount
be denied.

CITY WELL To
BE CASED
Work Starts on the Placing
of the Casing in the Mu-
nicipal Artesian
Well

/ The driller at the city well last
week reached depth of one thou
sand feet and was held up for sever
al days pending the arrival of the
casing, which came in the forepart
of the past week and is now being
placed. The drill is now in a strata
of clay, of cement nature, which
is supposed to be slight covering
on the ancient lake bed, where the
artesian flow is expected to exist.
Owing to the fact that -as yet a
flow sufficient to force the water to
the surface has not as yet been
found, it has been decided to pro-
ceed through the clay. The log of
the well is very similar to all ar
tesian wells that have been found in
the Snake River valley and it is pre-
dicted that a good flowing well will
be the result of the city's efforts. The
depth, of course, is much greater
mere ludu III OIlCA AONoAAtlCo IL Sh%S
section, owing to the thickness of the
strata of lava, and this fact is be-
lieved to have been caused by the
fact that we are located nearer the
edges OF the ancient lake.
1t is stated that there is now an
unexhaustable supply of water in
the well at the present time but that
in order to make it useful it would
be necessary to install pumping ma
chinery and the maintenance charges
Of this would most necessarily be
high, consequently it has been de-
cided by the Village Council to pro-
ceed to some greater depth in the
hope of finding pressure that will
force the water to the surface.

that there are now about ten inches

sometime after the first of the year
