Two notable flaws in the New Britain school system are the Lin coin street school and the Monroe street school. The former, because
 of lack of proper sanitary equip ment and poor heating, is blem- ish which brings bushes 10 the cheeks of parents. In the Monroe school, lack of room discourages the teaching staff, as well as the fathers and mothers of the district. Dur ing the first semester there were CT children in the first grade on half
 time. During the second semester there was only one session daily in the Kindergarten and many children who had reached their fifth birth day and who. through their parents, lad the right to demand admittance, could not he received. In spite of the installation of tive portable
 school buildings, there are now PC
 first grade pupils on half time.
 The Monroe street school is the
 educational headquarters for dis
 trict of homes. It is a pleasant part of the city in which a great many
 people own their own homes in
 which they take pride. They would
 like to see the board of education hurry along its program which in- cludes facilities demanded by modern 1 Requirements. The Standing Room i Only" sign has been pinned on the
 door Of the old building long enough.

Bristol. like New Britain, is suf- fcring from growing pains as re- hcctcd in a demand for better and more school accommodations The problem is becoming more acute in the Bell City but the citizens are facing their duty without flinching and are investing heavily in new buildings.
 In Bristol, the school accommo- dations problem is handled by dis tricts. Taxpayers in each district provide the schools although the general management of all institu- tions is vested in the city board of education.
 The Observer. being firm be- lieycr in the ccntralization of author ity and responsibility in school mat ters, suggests that the good citizens of Bristol get their heads together and foster movement for the con- solidation Of all school districts on the same plan as adopted by New Britain and other communities. The district system is antiquated. It leaves the door open 10 discrimina- ton against children of a district which cannot bear financial burdens caused by the issuance of bonds, and every child should have equal op- portunity to gain an education. In New Britain funds for the admin istrstion of the schools comes from general taxation. There has been some agitation for the segregation of the school tax from the tax levied for other purposes and executives do not lose any time in pointing out the large appropriations made for school purposes. Whether the school tax is ever segregated will make no difference. The money comes out of the pockets of property owners and, in the writer's opinion, brings greater returns than any other investment.

From the Rome Daily Orb' of 1 A. D.:
 The proposal made in the senate yesterday to the effect that women constables be hired for the purpose of preventing women from drinking wine or eating olives in the temples and public baths has occasioned much discussion as to the success of similar plans in the future. Horace, the famous poet and the worlds greatest authority on women, re- called several instances today for the benefit of an "Orb" scribe:
 An identical scheme was placed in force at Carthage some centuries ago, when several women were plac- ed in the baths to arrest others of their sex detected drinking imported wines. The plan failed, as the fe- male constables were found too sus- ceptible to bribery, frequently re- leasing an offender in return for a clandestinely transferred lipstick. Two others were discharged for ex- cessive gossipping and the spreading of unfounded scandal about the pa- irons of the baths. These unfortu- nate incidents occasioned the trans fer of the women constables to the circuses, where it was thought, they would, by their presence, cause a change for the better in the invec- tive hurled at defeated charioteers The Carthaginian state was ruined financially by this plan, as bank, ruptcy followed the treasury de partmcnt's futile attempt to keep ur with the rapid change in uniform styles.
 The feminine constabulary inaug. uratcd in Athens was demobilized when the city council. while trying to grant their employees request fol pale blue uniforms with pink TO. settcs, refused to accede to their de- mands that the costumes be of finest silk from the Indus.
 The war between the Babylonians l and the Amazons was recalled bI poet. Tn this titantic struggle, 1t wil | be remembered by Orb" readers tol, there is a chance for neighbor' hood iealousios to interfere with tho school program. This was witnessed | lately in the twelfth district where petty personalities were indulg"d 1T because Of the hostility of scvera factions. If the consolidated Sys tenn were in effect, broad program for tho general improvement of al city schools would he made possible The argument may be advanced tha certain districts woIl1 Ee neglected and others favored. l. would no work out this way. Boards of cdu cation are usually composed Of in telligent men upon whose shoulder responsibility does not sit lightI. ard who want to see the whole com
 munitv gain. This is the case il New Britain. There are school
 here which are not up to the stand
 ard but the situation is beinl
 rcmedicd as fast as possible an'
 within a few years this city vii
 have Q school plant of which it vii
 be proud.

Babylon with fiatirons. They were defeated however. when Neyeran- other, the Babyionian general order cd that his eatapults should lay down barrage of chocolates. The advancing Amazons checked their |attack, gorged themselves, and were defeated when their stomachs began to loop the loop.
 In order to be fair, Horace cited one example where the Idea was success When the Tyrlan army was attacking Egypt, their own elty was bcsiegcd by the llittites and could not hold out. Estimatings tho invaders at 1000. the King of Tyre sent out 1000 of the fairest maidens of his city. At tho sight of the hand somo IIittites rushing toward them, the girls dropped their spears and used their eyes. The Hittites were conquered and 1000 marriages were celebrated the following day. Thus great war was ended" finished Horace. adding, as an aftcrthought, but 1000 little wars were started,'
 More power to the legislative committee which is said 10 favor the sale Of gasoline at cost by tho state.
 Automobile drivers cannot be convinced that they should fairly pay 2G cents a gallon for the fuel. They do not believe. despite any ex- tended remarks by high salaried press agents and lawyers, that 1t is necessary for producing companies to charge this rate. They know that it is sold for less only few miles away in the state of Massachu- sette.
 Within a few months the rise in the price of gasoline has been eight cents, an increase of nearly so per cent. It is difficult to convince the average man that business which boosts it's prices that much in snch short period is rightly managed. The only explanation, as they see 1t, is that a few companies have corner on the market and can squeeze the consumer for all they can get.
 It would be a novel experience for the state of Connecticut to go into the gasoline business but it would be worth trying If for no other purpose than 10 teach les son to the high-minded producers who jump their price a cent every time they decide to buy a valuable piece of real estate in New York city and erect a million dollar l h,Iildjnp

The bill to annex a strip of New ington to New Britain has been in- tered in the legislative sarcopha- gus and will remain there indefinite ly. It is doubtful whether it comes out even on judgment day.
 The public had no confidence in the measure. It was suspicious from the beginning that there was some- thing hiding in the woodpile. 1t was impossible to learn the real purpose of the bill's sponsors but it was hinted in the halls of the senate that a desire to increase the value of Newington real estate, which would be included in the strip, was the real motive.
 New Britain was not interested in the project which would have saddIed needless expense on the city in the way of tuition for high school pupils who live in Ncwing- ton. There is no reason why we should have been interested. We had nothing 10 gain and everything to lose if the project were successful. It is to be hoped that every child in Newington who desires a high school education gets it, but not out of New Britain's pocketbook.

The need of women In the con- duet of city affairs, emphasized during the past week, Is not so much a delicate compliment to the sex as 1t Is an acknowledgment that women can do certain work for which men are unsuited.
 Mayor Paonessa recommended that the charter be amended so that policewomen can be appointed. This suggestion met with approval in the common council and will now be passed on to the committee on cities and boroughs of tho legie- lature. Judge E. w. Alling showed his appreciation of certain condi- tions by appointing a permanent woman probation officer.
 Policewomer, now on duty in many cities, have proved that they can function successfully where men would fail. With the new free dom of the sex has come need Of restraining license. Women, like men, sometimes mistake license for freedom and when this occurs 1t is necessary for society to step in and call halt.
 The appointment of women to the police force is sign of the times. The day or night - when self respecting women remained home after dark, unless escorted by protecting male person, has passed. Being out in the evening does not indicate lack of character in 8 woman. The emancipation ol | woman is complete. She votes, eats | in one-armed restaurants, waits foI her turn in barber shops, smokes and drinks in public without any ] apologies. Sober minded women realize that this new-found free dom is being abused by some oi | their little sisters, who have mol awakened from their daze at having obtained 1t. And they are among the first to approve the appoint ment of women officers of the law because they know that regulation is necessary.
 In explaining his recommenda' ton for policcwomen Mayor Pao nessa said he had been informed that girls who attend dances smoke and drink in the. dressing rooms If 1t is proper for men to stroll ou between dances for a smoke 1t can not be such horrible crime fol girls to do the same. But drinking well that's another matter. Man! girls are said to carry small flask under their garters and from thes' they imbibe when the desire for stimulant, vulgarly called a kick, asserts itself Drinking in dane hall dressing rooms by either SC: should not be tolerated and if tn girls are doing it they should no have any more leniency than thei brothers.
 The selection of a woman fo permanent assistant to the proba tion officer is step in the right al rection. Children are more amenaDl to advice from a woman. whose in tuition assists in handling case with diplomacy and sympathy aliel 10 the sterncr sex. It is also prope that she should have cases in whic members of her own sex are prln cipals because she can talk to then more freely and with greater con sideration for their problems.
 The day is not so far distan when we should have women in tn common council. There are severa who have demonstrated their soun judgment and ability in other pub lie offices and there is no reaso why they should not sit with th

-THE OBSER YER Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

Was 1t MT. Barnum who said There's one born every minute? 2" Never mind. 1t doesn't matter. Who- ever said 1t was right. If proof of this is needed, 1t Is necessary only to turn back the pages Of the news- papers for a few days and read of the swlndlo of large number Of hard working housewives by n slick gentleman who induced them to enroll in a club with the expecta- ton that they would get something for nothing.
 The agents game was to collect a small amount of money each week from members Of the club. At the end of the week q name would be drawn and someone would get set of dishes. For sev- eral months the smooth-tongued agent, who had winning ways about him, succeeded in enlisting a large number of women in his club. No one with whom members were acquainted ever won. Inen the bubble burst. The only winner was the gentleman who was collecting the money. He will have the pleas ure of explaining to judge of the superior court.
 There's a moral in this. Trade with men who are in one spot long enough to become acquainted Trade with merchants who have es- tablished Q reputation for integrity and who will make an adjustment if their wares are not up to the standard represented. Distant hills look green and distant china sets look pretty but it would be to the advantage of buyers to do their purchasing nearer to Itheir homes
 Conducting clubs must be 6 profitable business. It is said that I stack of cards five inches high and containing the names of women ir this vicinity was found in the officC of the company giving away" the sets of china. All were members of the club.
