WHERE COOPERATION
 IS NEEDED

The long dispute between Inc To- cal office of the state department of education and the town clerk may seem an cminonty worth- while verbal combat between the two offices but it Is one that docs not benefit the public. Co-opera- ton between the two offices is nee essary and 1t ought to be brought about.
 The task of the state department of education is to see that the en- ployment feature of the state de- partments work Is carried out ac- cording to law, which includes sec ing that no pupils leave school for employment before they are of le- gal age and before they have ob- tained the schooling prescribed by law. This information noccssitatcs the gathering of information re- garding children who wish to work or whose parents wish them to work -- and birth certificates ncc- essarily must be produced
 Failure to obtain such birth cer- tifcates from the town clerks of' flee is the basis of the contention between the two departments re- sulting in the state department making complaint to Mayor Paonessa regarding Town Clerk A, l.. Thompson and his aids, The complaint of the state officials that inc town clerk has no legal war rant 70 rofus" certificates. all t1ourN he ran it he wishes. sci $ fee 10 produce them seems m sonabc. It would bc ridiculous situation if birth certificates can not he obtained when necessary in this city.
 We arc of the opinion it will be a good service to inc public if the town clerk produced q transcript Of the birth certificates whenever these are necessary, Under the eX- isting rule of the town clerks office children are required 10 prove they have employment or they cannot get certificate. and many times the children have found they Can- not obtain work because they can. not prove their ages by prcscnta- ton of certificates. Maniicstly such an impasse Is injurious to the pub lie and should be ended by CO., operative effort between the de- partments involved.
 There should be careful over sight, however, in the case Of chil- dren whose parents are willing to have them go to work instead of continuing at school. In many cases such children really do not need 10 be put 10 work, Every child is entitled 10 a good rudi- mentary education and the law of the state offers educational protcc- ton 10 all children as a right, An education that is not obtained dur ing the years of childhood usually is detrimcnt throughout litci hence it is a serious thing for par ents to place children at work in. stoad of Keeping them at school But there arc cases where such q procedure is justified, and it re auires cooperation between 'ho two departments 10 carry ont this important state and mnnjcirt function.

Ny little niece, five years old, had just started school. The teacher asked her name, and she told her. But the child talked so fast that the teacher could not understand so, with little formality, sho asked for tho name again. The child repeated it, and against the teacher didn't understand.
 When she asked a third time the child answered: "That's all right teacher, call me anything you want to-"

 on tho principle that II is an evil 10 change horses in the middlo of stream, and in view of tho eNtcn- siyc school construction work being under way throughout the year Patrick F, King chairman of the school committee, and Henry r. Burr both of whom have an- nmneci their intention Of retiring ai thp cud of their terms in April should reconsider and decide to re- tain office,
 Both are too valuable and ox- porirncrd mrn for tho school com mittoo to lose; and tt is 10 inc best interests of inc rity that they re- main upon the board. They have been identified with the beginning of tha greatest school construction work in the history of the school district have been instrumental in bringing about eool feeling and cooperation with the city govern mrnt, and hy all means should re- main part Of tho school oycrsccrs HnNH thn work under way and that which is contemplated is finished. We have nn doubt that should they conclude 10 remain with the hoard. that tho public would give its unqualified assent and keep them there for another term or even longer.
 There have been no complaints nnl nothing but satisfaction re- ycalrd in connection with their membership upon the school com mittcc. They have grown wise in inc needs of the city's school equipment and should they retire in April and new men be elected 10 succeed them, their successors necessarily would be compelled 10 take q long time 10 become con- &crsunt with tho school situation: and meanwhile the construction work under way would continue and new work planned would be started such situation would not be 10 the best interests of the city and mistakes might be made which with King and Burr remaining upon inc committee would not oc- cur,
 Both men have personality plus experience in school matters. It would be too much of loss 10 inc city should they leave the school committee. We trust they will re- consider their announced intentions to retire and decide 10 remain al their places of responsibility and trust. They should realize that the city needs them and that the voice of duty calls loudly. Nothing will be more pleasing 10 citizens as whole than to learn that they will continue upon the board -- and an announcement 10 that effect, we ar. SUIT, will hr tantamount 10 1h.fr rr-o.nrtion,
 Tn. same could well be said of r..

Pratt likewise has been efficient in his sphere and has i had much routine experience that will be difficult for a new secretary 10 surmount readily; and If ho thinks his health will permit he might also well reconsider his plan to retire.
