 Education Week Reealts
 Greatest in Ctty's HiAt0ry
 New Britain parents and teachers are justified in feeling elated at the success of the National Education week in this city.
 School authorities report that tn- interest reached the highest point ever attained here. Newspapermen who covered meetings of school as- sociations corroborate these reports. Attendance at meetings has been large, the prospassas have. beens fn- teresting, the speakers have been very much to the point and the teachers feel well repaid for their efforts in arranging the, gatherings.
 Under fire for several years on the charge that they have indulsed in extravagances. school commits sioners have continued to give this city the best Of thor efforts. They have set . high tdeal and have stuck to their guns Some of the ava lanche of criticism has been in the nature of honest dtngreement; some has been for the purpose of making political capital. The latter should have no place in the life of the mu- nicipality. tp.
 Education week is a fixture 70 far as New Britain is confarned. The education system would be better if the interest excited during the week could be spread over the school year but one week alone produces beneficial results which contribute immeasurably to the progress of the schools and to the happiness of teachers and children.
