VOICE OF THE SCHOOLS

The schools opened Monday morn
ing after q vacation of two weeks anq
about five hundred fifty grade and
high school children, one-fifth OF the
population of the city, returned to
school. No doubt there was some COM
motion and hustle in some homes to
get the little ones up, dressed, fed
and bundled-up to get them to school
on time. They had been at home two
weeks and were missed when they
left and in some instances the resump-
ton of school was welcomed.
The task of getting the children
ready for school in the mornings is
divided between many individuals and
many homes. The putting on OF the
little overshoes and the tieing OF the
warm scarfs is done by many differ
ent loving hands. But when they have
reached the school building there is
but one individual there to receive
and unbundle from forty to sixty of
them. This individual is the faithful
teacher who gives them a CHEEKY
greeting. unbundles them and guides
their thinking and their acts during
the day, and in addition, gets them
dressed to 90 out to play at recesses,
to go home at noon and again sees
that all are started on their way home
in as safe a manner as they came to
her in the morning. H wv fortunate we
are to live in community that pro-
vides an efficient public school sys-
tenn, and what greater asset has a
community than it's school rooms
filed with healthy learning children.
Three more weeks and the school
year will be half over. The semester
will close January 23d and the sec
ond semester will begin the Monday
following. There will be some changes
in the high school classes, but the
main subjects will continue the Sec
ond semester.

COBB'S TWENTY YEARS IN THE BIG LEAGUE

So Tyrns Raymond Cobb has been vita tho Detroit baseball team twenty years. the exact anniversary being on Saturday. Small wonder that Detroit will celebrate the event with fitting ceremonies, ending with banquet 10 be attended hy leading citizens.
 Twenty years in the big league is no mean accomplishment. The youths who attain athletic prowess enough 10 get a berth in the "big show" as A rule don't last half that long. For athletics of this caltber demands much; and the human flesh is not capable of standing too much spocd for too long a time. II Is only tno exceptional individuals who can krop their names in the batting ayrraros for anything approaching 1; or 2o years - and il doesn't happen often.
 How Cobb has changed in 20 years, II seems only yesterday that sawky younrstcr from Georgia landed in Detroit and got a foot hold with the Tigers, at that time giving promise of heinz flag con- tenders.

MACMILLAN EXPEDITION
 A FAILURE

After announcing that the uSo Of airplanos 10 explore the polar re- gions would be abandoned this year. that they would be used merely for local exploration north of Green land, etc, MacMilan apparently has changed his mind and the entire expedition is already heading south from Etah.
 So far as exploration is con- cerncd, the expedition has been a failure Previously unknown noun tain ranges were discovered and hitherto untraversed ice regions were flown over, and the estahlish- mont of radio communication with civilization was maintained for the first time in the history of Arctic exploration, hut little else was ac- comrlished.
 The NacMilan expedition was late in getting started and when it reached the cold regions it was dis covered that the weather was more rigorous this year than usually, and that fogS were common. and that fhe arctic winter was approaching unusually "srly. MacMillan knows enough to retreat while this Is pos sihlc

 The Herald will bulletin the Cor bett- Mccoy fight this evening.
 Several counterfeit silver dollars of the date ISN9 have hoen put into circulation in town today, They are underweight and are dark in color. They resemble the product of the Polish countcrlcitere, arrested here a few years ago.
 The painters have made very rapid progress at the Nv Britain institute building and two weeks more will sec the inside decorating work finished. The finishing Of the woodwork in oak has been com pleted and the painters are now em- ployed on the walls.
 Although demand has been made on the town for damages caused by dogs killing chickens and calves and such claims have hyrn settled, the town is still in more money on the dog account than il was last year. Town Clerk Pennold closed up his dog book today and he finds that the receipts for dog licenses this year amounted to $976.G6 against 792.97 for last year, showing an increase ot s1S369 for the year.

sector. That there has been a sp.-

sector. That there has been a spe- cies Of quiet animosity on the part of the Hearst clan toward Governor Smith has been suspected ever since Mayor Hylan's traction record was shown up, The stage being all set for the showdown, the Hearst onslaught against tn 0 governor closely approximates tho vicious vehemence of Mir. Hylan.
 Then there is Senator Copeland. This gentleman has political ambl- tions of great moment. He wishes 10 be the political leader of the Democratic party in New York state. Before he became a senator he was identified with the health department and was looked upon as a gtver of good advice regarding how 10 avoid catching a cold in Ndl III Ntdlhcl' IlpM JIG Evl oD ldl as to be |. g. senator Is one of the stories of political hukedom. But he's a senator and does not care 10 regard a mere governor as a popular individual. If there is any popularity 10 be distributed the senator thinks he should get most Of 1t. Thus he has become one of the cornerstones of the Hylan- Hearst Copeland empire of political blah.
 And how is Governor Smith get ting along during all this mess? Very well, thanks, the governor would say. He isn't lying prostrate but is Up and kicking around like a mad steer at rodeo. When 1t is a matter of making speeches and invading the boroughs of the me- tropolitan empire he is always on time and primed with dynamite.
 Mean things are being said on both sides; mud is being thrown. By the time the primary takes place all contenders will be as be- spattered with mud as a Hopi h. dian is with oil when he fondles a rattlcsnake.
 But after the primary, what? One faction must lose, and the mean things that were said may be re- membcred for a long time.
 The Democratic party got its worst blow when the national con- vention was held In New York City; and it may get another blow as its largest Democratic city" goes dippy over factional politics.
 The Republicans, who also arc in- terestcd in the mayoralty of the metropolis, cannot lose, even should their candidate fail of election.

Likewise, 1t seems only yesterday that Cobb was the predomlnatinl star of the game, with Home Run Baker running horsehides for the Philadelphia Athletics, Honus Wag. ner hitting 'em where they amt" for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Wal Ter Johnson binding the batters op. posing his tail-end teammates.
 Yet, after all these years of rhysi- cal exertion on the diamond, Cobb only this year broke the home run record for two successive days. For a tottering old man who has been in the big show twenty years. this was no mean feat.

Judge Andrew Drew Douglass Will

Judge Andrew Drew Douglass Will
 In connection with the publishing of the will of the late J. Spencer Douglass. the impression is given that the New Britain Trust Co. drew tho will and in it was named as it's oXecutor. Such are not the facts. This will was drawn entirely and abso- luteIy by the late Judge George w. Andrew, who as many know, was able 10 draw very strong and ex- cellent will, and in it he was named as executor and 10 serve with out bonds. But i'll health suddenly overwhelmed him and he was ob- lged 10 give up all business cares, He was counsel for Mir. Douglass for some thirty years, and an intimate friend for many years before that.
 I consider 1t nothing more than simple justice to the dead that this correction should be made.
 Mrs. George w. Andrew.
