LATEST ON THE SCHOOLS

Most citizens, we are sure. will agree that the annual report of Superintendent Holmes on the schools omits no detail and comes 10 logical conclusions. If the schools were in every way adequate and there had been no stimulation Of popular attention in their manage ment by the Board of Education the report of tho superintendent would have been no more than formality. In view Of the attention that has been bestowed upon these civic as- gets. not unmiNed with criticism. the report gains immoasurcahly in im- portance. Furthermore, il is authori- tative and needs no defense from any quarter.
 Suggestions for the disposal of the difficulties that have cropped up at the Stanley school most particularly merit attention. Ttsn- appears no two sides to the discussion at this point The school must either be en- larged or d new school built on Oak street.

 There is confidence that if fu- ture action by the Board Of Edu-a- tion is prodicatod upon tho suegas- tions thus made the school situa- tion in the city finally will come under complete control. all sections Of the city will he adequately served and there no longer will he a "Schoo problem

Fl ROPEAN BROADCASTING

Last spring the president of the NEG returned from abroad with the information that the American hroadCasting system was so superior 10 anything found in Europe that there really was no comparison. Numerous radio editors on the American journals avidly tooksup the propaganda and played it up as com ing from an oracle of wisdom.
 In this weeks Saturday Evening Post there is an article on European broadcasting which leaves one in doubt whether the American com- mercial broadcasting system is so very superior. In every European country except France the system of broadcasting need take no lessons from the NEG or the CBS. France too, will improve after the government and the broadcast CTS get through with their row.
 The blemish on the American sys- tenn of broadcasting is the advertis- ing chatter that comes with the programs. The leading nations in Europe have avoided this bad feature by exacting a license fee from every owner of receiving set, which with reasonable government subsidies provides class and type of music which the NEG might envy.

Men Should Be Chosen Because of Their Nationality

Because of Their Nationality
 James H. Passerinis resignation from the fire commission emphasizes a condition which is created in any city the population of which is con- posed Of peoples from many for eign lands. Mir. Passerini resigned because he strongly desired to have an Italian appointed lieutenant in the fire department. The three other commissioners demurred, not because of the nationality of Mir Passerini's candidate but because they believed there were other men in the department better fitted to occupy the position. MT. Passerini resented their attitude so strongly that he decided to retire from of flee.
 Selecting man because of his nationality is not the proper way to fill vacancy in the public service, their merit. considering their ey- perience, their talent and interest in their work. Only In this way can the public be assured that it is re- ceiving the greatest return on the money invested. No private busi- ness man picks his assistants be- cause of nationality except for their ability to speak a foreign language and understand the customs and viewpoint Of customers. In public service this is not necessary. Public servants should be efficient in the special line for which they are chosen.
 Mayor Paonessa has been com mended on his stand against being influenced by the appeal of nation ality. The mayor is a native Of Italy The candidate favored by Mr. Passerini was the mayor nephew. It would be human nature for the executive to support his ap- pointment even at the risk of being charged with nepotism. But Pao- nessa withstood the temptation, strong as it might have been, and kept his hands off, allowing his commissioners to carry out their task without interference.

London Sept. 14 UP) -- Now that Millionaire William F. kcnney has his barber in England from New York, it appears he has lost him.
 For Louis Arico, who got into England by a close shave without passport yesterday, seemed today to have vanished as wondrously as ono of his vanishing creams.
 NeWspapermen followed Louis from Southampton, where he had docked from the Leviathan with permission 10 stay until Tuesday, They followed the brown sedan, which Kenny had waiting for him. as far as Winchester, some 40 miles from London
 Stops For Ale
 When Louis stopped at a "pub' for a sip of ale, for which he pro- fessed to be dying, the chauffeur o; the sedan told the reporters hi. only instructions were 10 keep go. ing, he couldn't say where. Then, when Louis emerged smacking his lips and got into his car again, the reporters gave up the pursuit. assuming ho would go tc London or perhaps to the Kenny house at Harlow on Thames to call on the rich New York patron who footed the bills for his holiday trip But Arico later turned up at none of Kenny's favorite haunts in Lon don. Marlow or Stoke Poges. Lead l ing hotels reported registering mo- ] body called Arico.
 The butler at kenny's house at Marlow- on-Thames informed the United Press early today that Arico was not there and that Kenny him. self hadn't the faintest idea as to the 1 barber's wherea bouts.
 Concerned Over Disappearance
 MT. Kenny. is most concerned over Arico's disappearance, which is mystery to him." the butler said. Kenny inquired everywhere yester- day without result. He believed that as Arico 'came to London on vaca- ton, and is determined to have one, avoiding publicity.
 Somewhere in London. or else where in the British Isles, the Bar Der Arico was believed chortling over the trimming he has given | lnewspapermen in a country where :. ale is ale and bay rum is just for the hair.

EXPLAINS NOISES AT CHURCH
 Editor, Herald
 In Thursdays New Britain Herald was an article saying that the church on 39 Oak street which is attended by colored people was mak- ing too much noise and bringing complaints from the neigh bors. These colored people are worship ing God as they should and even though they do clap their hands, they do not make enough noise to disturb the neighhors. The noise that the people are complaining about is this: The boys and chil- dren of this vicinity stop and form crowds in front of the gate. There they shout and holler and swear at the tops of their voices. Last night they broke the gate which was fixed this morning. The complaints bout the Church of God n Christ should be taken back.

ODE TO MY STRAW HAT
(Sept. 15, 1929)

Sept. 15 1929) o nifty cover of my dome,- Thy maker doth decree That on this date,- Sad to relate, I'll bid farewell to thee A silly custom ts. forsooth, And hardly fair tc you, It matters not How beastly hot The weather might be- too. For girls keep cool with rolled down hose, And skirts above the knees, Still must wean You from my bean, Or else be called cheese. So now I'll hike me to store And dig down in my jeans, And get felt In which I'll melt, For which I'll pay five beans. ~ But will dig thee up next year And if theell stand the strain, I'll make thee clean With gasoline And make thee work again. Yes l will drag thee out next year. love thee ol straw hat,- I'll make thee bring Me joy next spring Thou can'st quit me like that.
