Some people look with contempt. on conditions
think that everything long distance from home is
fine and wonderful, and that everything in their
home locality is mean and crude It is hard to
know which attitude is lacking in intelligence
While it is fine for people to be loyal to their
home surroundings, the entertaining of prejudces
and cooperation.
Probably much of The i'll feeling manifested
against American tourists in Europe, is due to the
tendency of many of those tourists to speak con-
temptuousy of those countries They not slow
to express the idea that those famous old cities
far behind the times, and good old home town in
the u. S. A. is infinitely better That may be
true, and yet it is i'll hammered fer tourists to
let it be known that they think SO, as it would be
to be entertained in someone's home and spend
your time in ridculing their furniture and habits.
The same principle applies when people travel
in our own country. It is fine thing to boost
their own home localities and speak warmly of their
advantages. But when they give the impression
that they look with contempt the localities they
are visiting, they convey the idea that the regions
where they come from are producing uneultivated
people.
The gracious traveller who distributes smiles
and compliments, and praises the localities which
he sees for whatever virtues they have, and is silent
about their faults, if fine advertising for The local
ity from which he came. People say they would
like to see the city state hat produces such good
examples of culture.

THE STUDY OF NATURE

Mrs. Coolidge, it is said, while staying in the
Adirondacks, is taking great deal of pleasure in
studying trees, wild flowers butterflies and birds
When the first lady of the land does something it
is apt to become popular. Perhaps shall now
see revival of nature study.
About couple of decades ago, nature study
was fad. Many classes were formed for his
kind Of inquiry, and innumerable people began to
equip themselves with flower books, bird books,
tree books, etc. 1t was common sight to see
people with opera glasses trying to identify the
personality of that little warbler that sang SO
Justify in the tree-tops and with their magnifying
glasses examining the structure of the flower
that they had captured in their rambles
These people gathered valuable information,
and they became more obsersant. Many persons
who previously had been dreamy and scarcely con-

Of keeping their eyes open, which is extremely use

70 YEAR GROWTH
 IN SCHOOL DEPT.
Statistics Prepared Reveal h.
 crease in Facilities Here

In the 20 years administration of
 Supt. s. H. Holmes, the total enroll
 ment of the school department has increased 9.512. according to fig ures released by the school depart ment today. A comparison as to enrolment, average daily attend ance. enumeration, city's popula- ton. total expense, valuation of city property, valuation of school pro- perty, number of teachers in the service, number of rooms. and the number of buildings in 19N6-o7 and in every year until the 1926-27 year is contained in the report
 The report was the result of sey- eral months of work and research on the part of employees of the school department. Every year the enrolment has increased over that Of the year preceding it. The same is true of the average daily attend ance showing that the attendance bureau and it's predecessors have continued to improve it's system as the years went by The population of the city in 1906 was 4S.00O but now it is almost double. According to figures gathered by the Chamber of Commerce, the population is now So,o0o.
 An item which is expected to cause much interest is the increases in ex- panses of the schools. In 1906-07 the total expense Of running the department was S11I902.9S. In the l925-26 school year, the expense reached a million dollars for the first time. Despite this enormous amount of money the departments financial heads successfully handled ! t so that the school was able to stay within it's appropriation.
 The value of city property 20 years ago was s3n,o0o,o00 Accord ns to the school department figures

WARNS DRIVERS ID
 LEARN ROAD RULES
Judge filling Says Number Of
 Accidents Can Be Gut

Imposing fine of s2o and costs on Louis Cielakiewicz, aged 31, of Silver street, formerly of Torring- ton, op the charge of violation of the rules of the road, Judge B. W. filling in police court this morning said that if automobile drivers famtliarized themselves with the rules and. when driving. observed the rules, the number of accidents ways would be far less than at pres ent, and there would also be few CT cases of motor vehicle law vio- lations for the court to dispose of.
 Cielakiewicz was driving an auto m obile truck at the corner of Silver and Broad streets on August A and struck a motorcycle on which Ed ward Jankonowicki of 179 Broad street was riding. The latter spent six weeks in the hospital, having suffered a fracture of the leg and fracture of the ribs. In court today he used crutches.
 Officer A. c. Walinczus investi- gated the accident and arrested Cielakiewicz He and Detective Ser geant Ellinger testified and showed Judge filling sketches they had drawn of the corner and the loca- ton of the vehicles Attorney B. J. Monkiewicz represented Cielakie- Wicz.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney W. M. Greenstein recommended that the reckless driving charge against Stanley Meskil, aged 34, of 225 Mill street, and Tony Askur, aged 2S, of 166 Water street., Hartford, be rolled. The men were driving cars that collided near the New Britain West Hartford town line on August 2S and Askur has been in the hospi- tai since because of injuries. Mr. Greenstein said it is his belief that the case is one for the civil courts as there does not seem to be foun- dation for criminal prosecution.

NolStCad Act "Hopeless'

Moreover, since conditions have become worse, not better, each year. and with the next generation drinking as never before, there seems 10 be no hope that the Vol stead Act. in it's present drastic form, can ever accomplish its pur- pose"
 During 1914 and 1915 before the war boom got under way, drunken ness remained practically stationary. the report states.
 During 1916 and 1917. war boom years, there was a pcrceptible in- crease following the known rule that, other things being equal. drunkenness increases with good time and decreases with hard times.
 Tn 1918 and 1919 emergency wartime restriction on alcoholic beverages (far short of bone-dry- ness, however, were imuosed. Drunkeness took an astonishing drop during those years.
 
 stead Act went into effect. In 1920 there was q further drop which the 1921 rise wiped out Since then there has been an increase each year, so that by 1925 there were more ar rests for drunkenness than in 1914"
 Conditions in the former so-called "dry' states are worse today. the report states, compared with 1914. than are conditions in the so-called wet states"
 Perhaps one reason for this greater increase in drunkenness in the dry state,' the report says. lis that most of these so-called dry states were not really so; but were in inc main. merely restrictive.
 The most curious result of Ma tional one-dryness." the report states lis the remarkable increase in the number of drunken drivers"
 The number of drunken driver before National prohibition was more or less constant from year 10 year, showing only small luctua- tons, with tendency toward a gra- dual rise commensurate with the increase in the number of automo- biles," tho report says.
 Explain" Drunken Drivers
 The reason for this enormous in crease in drunken drivers seems fairly clear, the report states.
New Britain herald., 1926-09-28

After prohibition one could not purchase intoxicants. or at least safe intoXicants, almost anywhere as previously. This necessitated procuring an ample suppIy-a case or bottIe-in advance, and it was then carried around on the hip or in me car and consumed in transit. Drinking before prohibition was largely done indoors: and after pro- hlbluon, from a flask on the road. l"
 Figures obtained from public wei fare organizations and police offi- clals' the report states, shows an alarming increase under prohibition Of intoXicatiou among minors.
 This can only mean" it states that each year We are raising new crop Of drunkards which Is much larger than tho annual crops We used to raise even under the saloon"

 We are also of the firm convic- lion that such policy Of wise re- StrIction would have the incidental advantage of eliminating almost en- lirely the scandalous corruption and bribery of public officials. wonrd stop the growth of the hootlogcinr class, would check d,sra- Spoct for the law, and would in ad- dl'ion produce a handsome national .

NATIONAL SURVEY
 ON LIQUOR EVIL
Report Shows Drunkenness Is
 on Increase

New York, Sept. 2S. R)- Drunk enness in the United States last year increased almost twice as fast as 1t did in 1924 and now has reached Its pre- prohibition level, the Moderation League, Inc, reports announcing the findings of a nation- wide sur vey of conditions in more than 1900 cities.
 Reaching the conclusion that the Nolstead Act has failed utterly to promote temperance and sobriety," the report expresses the belief that "a greater degree of temperance would be attained by a wise restric- tive law"
 The survey was the second con- ducted by the League, a similar finding as to the effectiveness of en- forCement under. the Nolstead Act having been announced last year.
 The League is an organization composed of men from all ranks of life and is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York with its announced object are "Restora- tion of Temperance"
 The League bases it's findings on reports obtained from police de- partment records of intoxication ar rests which Tn 3S4 cases extended back twelve years.
 When on the basis of these re- cords, the report states i've consider that drunkenness generally has all ready increased 10 the prc-prohibi- ton level, and that drunken drivers and drunken children have increas- cd far above anything ever known before in this country, we cannot escape the conclusion that the Vol stead Act has failed utterly to do what it was intended to do, namely, promote temperance and sobriety."
