HIGH LEGAL FEES
 DRAW COURT FIRE
English JuriSts Find Expenses
 Astounding Today"

London, Sept. 20. tpI-Thcrc is growing resentment in England over the high cost of going to law
 Sir Edward Parry has commented on the astounding expenses of litigation today by citing one di- vorce case which cost S150.0O0.
 Lord Justice Scrutton has gone even further by denouncing the Outrageous estimate for costs in a case brought before the Court of Appeal. He called attention Of ficially to the increasing costs of legal expenses which, he said, may develop into serious scandal un- less checked.
 Judge Crawford recently ordered an investigation Of a case in which q woman found herself faced with a legal bill for s2,5OO arising out of a dispute about a carpet.
 There have been many similar eases recently before the British courts. The Tichborne trial about a disputed estate cost $520, ,ooo. The costs Of another famous lawsuit are said to have totaled S25O,OO0. Eighteen counsel were hriefed. There were nine Kings Counsel among them, five of whom each re- ccived fees of 5000 with Ire freshers" of s795 a day
 It is argued that. while in many cases the litigants can well afford the luxury of expensive attorneys, the practice tends to place justice for the deserving poor out of reach and that even in country courts the legal costs are out of all propor- tion to the issues at stake. so that justice becomes a luxury limited to the well-to-do.
 The late Judge Atherly Jones urged a bill which would enlarge the discretionary powers of a mag istrate in the matter of costs.
 Another remedy that has been suggested is the amalgamation of the two branches of the legal pro- fcssion, the solicitors and barristers into one class Of attorneys, as in the United States The British solicitor handles all the legal work out of court while the barrister does all the actual work in court, thus creating two sets of fees.

school systems; and we have many teachers, principals and superinten- dents who come to see us. They usually comment very favorably upon the school as a place of work and upon the general attitude and spirit of the students. They say that they find them, for the most part, of apparently serious purpose and at work, enjoying a large liberty with out manifesting lawlessness. A pro- lessor of education wrote o m e months ago that our assignments a n d tn e accompanying practises provided him with the best illustra- tions he had found for the instruc- tion of his student teachers.
 "One index of the results of our work is to be found in the records made by those graduates who enter h 2 h e r degree-giving institutions. About every five years we make a systematic inquiry of those institu- tions which have received our grad uates. At the last previous inquiry the returns showed an unusually normal record with good average and with many favorable comments. Unsolicited reports during the past year concerning some of the college freshmen who prepared with us would indicate that our good aver age is maintained.
 "Of our graduates who go directly to work in New Britain and of the effect upon them of three years of senior high school work, the employ CTS frequently become the judges. Some of the comment is, from time to time, unfavorable but, for the most part, it is favorable and the continued demand for their services would seem to indicate at least a relative satisfaction with our in tluence.

 "This report would be seriously incomplete and misleading were 1 to neglect to speak of your part and that of the school committee in the attainment of our successes.
