EDUCATION CALLED
 AID TO GOVERNMENT
H. I. Burr Explains It's Purpose
 to Graduates at H. s.

One hundred and seventeen stu dents members of 1927 mid-year graduation class at the Senior High school, bade farewell to their alma mater at solemn exercises held in the school auditorium last evening. Sec- retary Henry T. Burr of the school committee offered words of advice to the graduates before he presented them with diplomas. Throughout the evening an interesting program of music under the direction of George B. Matthews was given.
 MT. Burr's talk, in part, follows:
 This evening marks the close of your 12 years of study in this city. The city and state have spent much money in giving you this education, but do they do this so that you may get the benefits of an education? Although the state and city likes to see you enjoy the benefits of educa- tion it is not for that reason alone that it educates you. It expects that with an educated citizenry its gov ernment will be safe. All the state asks in return is for you to act as educated people.
 During high school it is not the facts that you learn. The progress of your mind toward the gathering in of influences about you is the real accomplishment of your high school course. You will not ge. the full benefit unless the windows of your mind are open at all times through out your later life.
 Democracy depends on education for it's existence. That is why coun- tries spend millions on education. The government by the people would not be respected in countries where the population is unedrcated. The development of civilization came with the progress of education"
 The program of graduation fol- lows: Processional: Coronation from "The Prophet" Senior High school orchestra; invocation, Rev. Martin W. Gaudian; "The Heavens Resound" and Where Sparkling Waters Flow" by the school chorus; xylophone solo, "Menuet" by Robert V. Young of the graduation class; Blue Danube Waltz" by the orchestra: presenta- ton of diplomas by Secretary Burr; Star Spangled Banner" by the or ,hestra, class of 1927 and audience; recessional.

Outlook For Industry and Commerce in 1927 is Rosy,
 Head of Bethlehem Steel Corp. Says

try today represents a total invest ment of approximately s5,000, ,000,- 900 on which the industry as a whole is not earning more than five per cent, Schwab declared that steel in- vestors are not getting a proper re- trun on their money.
 Tn fact, money invested in steel stocks is yielding practically no more than bonds would yield" he added. "The only remedy I can see for this situation IS curtailment of expansion and production on the part of steel companes."
 Discussing the Chicago Pneumatic Tool company, of which he is the principal stockholder, Schwab ex- pressed himself as pleased with its outlook and predicted broadening of its interests when it's new cleo trical refrigerator, representing a broad departure from existing types, is put on the market.

FEWER MOTORCYCLES ARE
 REGISTERED EACH YEAR
State Figures Show Only Third as Many as 10 Years Ago-Morc
 Motor Driven Hearses.

Hartford, Jan. 29.-LP-Each year sees few less motor cycles on Con- necticut roads according to figures given out today by the state motor vehicle department, which show that the total of 3,399 motor cycles regis tered for 1926 was 6S5 less than for 1925 and SIP less than for 1924. There are only about a third as many licensed operators of motor cycles in the state as ten years ago. The figures for the past year, BPS, showing a decrease from the 1,227 of 1925 and the 1,520 of 1924.
 Municipally owned motor cycles however showed a slight increase.
 The demand for motor hearses ap- pears to have increased approxi- mately in proportion to the increase in other vehicles, there being regis tered last year, 214 of these against 19o in 1925.
 This did not appear to be due to increased demand made necessary by the increase in other motor ve- hicles, for tentative totals indicate that automobiles caused less deaths in Connecticut in 1926 than in 1925.
