In an effort to bring about a
saving in the salary budget of the
New Britain school department,
the board has decided not to en-
ploy additional instructors despite
the fact that two new schools are
being constructed and third

under construction.
When the new Roosevelt school
is completed. Principal Edward E.
Weeks, who is now head of the v.
B. Chamberlain school, will also
take over the duties of the Roose-
welt school. Mr.. Weeks, according
TO member of the board, has been
competent in his present position
and could easily take over new re-
sponsibilities.
At rpesent the school board
plans to sell the old Lincoln school
when the new school is completed.
In that case the present principal,
Miss Elsie NJ. Miles, of the old
Lincoln school will assume the

will resume her tests tomorrow.
The break was in Engine No 8, one
of the five with which the dirigible
is equipped. The accident would not
have affected the Los Angeles had
she been in flight at the time, it was
said, for she can navigate safely on
three of the engines.
The Los Angeles had intended to

The storIl, localized off Norfolk,
gave indications of continuing for
four or five hours at $3.50 p. m. last
night, so the commander. deciding
to take no chances, pointed his craft
homeward, the trip being without
incident.
The dirigible arrived shortly after
a. m. and the engine trouble de-
veloped after she had been safely
secured.
The work of repairing was started
at once and If the weather continues
favorable, the dirigible will start to-
morrow morning to calibrate the

ROTARY CLUB, DICTIONARIES
PRAISED FOR HELPING BOYS

The league organized last year by
the Rotary club, with uniformed
players, regular scorers and news
parer publicity for all the games,
drew scores of smaller boys to Wal
nut Hill park week after week. The
youngsters were quick to select their
idols and the baseball fever spread
throughout the city. With their in
terests thus directed towards clean
sport, properly supervised. and with
no restraint on their enthusiastic
support, the youngsters were kept
out of trouble, and their parents
were spared the worry and en-
barrassment of the frequent ap-
pearance in juvenile court on Sat-
urday mornings.
In the opinion OF officials who are
in constant touch with Maynard
boys, the interest developed by this
league unquestionably kept many
boys occupied not only while the
games were being played, but be-
tween games, when they gathered at
their favorite meeting places to dis
cuss the coming contests and those
which they had witnessed on the
preceding days.
The American Legion. through its
bows work committee, has given Its
attention to groups recommended by
welfare workers, including lads who
were on the border line between
good conduct and waywardness.
Plans for schedule of winter activi-
ties. including basketball in the
school gymnasiIms, are being made.
The baseball team directed by Eddy
Glover pot ha7 no more ardent adj
mirers than many of the smaller lads
who formerly knew ball players only
at a distance. They can now look
forward to the seasons that are to
come in the hope that they, too, may
succeed to the heights OF fame at
tanned by this years team.
Probation Officer Connolly, re-
marking on the decrease in juvenile
delinquency in Nwe Britain, said he
believes the efforts of the Legion
the Rotary club and similar agencies.

while many OF the boys who, in the
past, were found to be uncontrol-
liable and capable of leading others
on wrong paths, have been commit
ted to reformatories. there Is no
question that the effect of the or
ganizations sponsoring organized
play has been to reduce by by great
measure. the unlawful tendencies OF
many New Britain boys. He said
Miss BRISTOL shares this belief, her
work being, to a great extent, among
bows.
Sergeant O'Mara, who Is paddy
to every youngster in the city who Is
brave enough to call a cop by
name. says the number of cases of
theft, sleeping away from home, and
offenses of similar nature, Is less
this summer than year ago, and he
believes the baseball games are
responsible for the improved con-
ditiona He is probably in closer touch
with the Younger element than any
other police or welfare official. and
nobody has ever worked among boys
in this city has their confidence to
greater extent than he has. He has
the faculty for knowing boys ways.

work among the boys who are free

Laud Their Efforts
Among Juveniles.

The interest taken in New Brit
ain boys by the Rotary club, and

Legion, experimenting the efforts OF
Judge B. W. Alling OF the police
court and social and Welfare work
ers, has gone great way towards
overcoming juvenile delinquency and

start on the right road in their
journey through life, in the opinion
of Probation Officer Edward C. Con-
nelly, Miss Ruth BRISTOL. woman
probation officer, and Sergeant Pat
rick ]. O'Mara OF the detective bu-
reau of the police department, the
latter's duties including the investi-
cation of the bulk of complaints in
volving petty thieving and similar
offenses.
The grand old game of baseball.
recognized since its institution as
Americas national sport. is attract
ing boys of tender years into the city
parks and Fairgrounds and taking
them off the streets and out Of their
gangs" formerly spent most OF
their time, 1t seemed, loafing around
street corners where the temptations
OF poorly protected small stores and
the danger of older leaders with i'm
properly developed tendencies were
a menace not only to the communi-
ties in which they lived, but a pow
erful thrcit against law and order.
Heretofore, Logs went into the
streets and played ball. Having no
money with which to buy the neces-
sary paraphernalia, they often stole
from their parents, and, becoming
holder, broke windows in stores and
took small change from cash draw
ers, spending it for gloves, balls and
bats that they might give express
sion tothe natural desire to hit home
runs and stop ''ot liners Many boys
whose delinquency misguided them
into the reformatory permitted their
home training to be overcome by
their light fingered tendencies and
when caught gave no better reason
for their offenses than that they
wanted to play ball and go to the
movies. -
Now. there are ball games in every
playground. Everything that is need
ed for successful competition is pro-
vided. All that is asked of the boys
is that they play fair. They can hit
the ball as hard as they are able to
swing the bat. and there is ample
room for them to roam around the
outfield, without fearing the wrath
of property owners who rightfully
demonstrated in strong terms against
the invasion of their we'll kept front
lawns. According to the authorities,
there is no longer any reason for
ball games on the city streets. OF
course, home runs are still hit
against windshields of automobiles
and wild throws shatter the windows
of houses. but the complaints COM
ing into police headquarters in this
respect are very few compared to
those of few ears ago.

giving greater measure than the in
