 Hamlin and his son went to the garage several days ago and became embrpiled' in a dispute with the notary who, according to the celect- man, was creating the impression that his service at 50 cents was re- quired for each person assisted. When they reached the examining officer. after paying the 50 cents, they were told that they had spent their money needlessly since notarial service is part of the officers work.

 Exhibit
 In 1920 an exhibit of the work of all departments and phases of the school work was prepared and offer ed for, the inspection of the public. In the ten years since. the city and the schools have grown consid bly,. Here are presented figures which show to some degree the increases in school enumeration, school at tendance and school property:
 1919-1920: School enumeration, 1s,027; total enrolment pupils, Ill., 133; average daily attendance, B. oS7; valuation school property, s2,- 5000; number school buildings. 23;snumber school rooms, 319; num- Der of teachers. 336.
 1929-l930: School enumeration, 1o,595; total enrolment pupils, 15,- 713: average daily attendance, 12,- 653; valuation school property, ST. 266,l50: number school buildings. 2S; number school rooms, 524; num- Der of teacher, 502.
 The comprehensive education ex- hibit presented in April, 1880, was intended to present to the citizens of New Britain and to interested visi- tors the aims of the schools; the ways and means employed to realize these aims; the work of the pupils of all grades and types; and the well fare and health service carried on by the school department.
 The new Senior high school addi- ton afforded a very satisfactory and adequate space for such an exhibit, one of the prominent features of the exhibit being the Senior high and Trade school plants themselves.
 Tt is probable that 10000 people inspected the school work displayed and witnessed the live exhibits of | school activities in the auditorium ] and gymnasium during the four days of the exhibit. Many visitors from, ether towns and citiesl viewed the displays and expressed their appre- clation of the evidence shown of the character of our school system. Great credit is due to all mem. bers of the school staff for thei, whole hearted and fine cooperation in making the exhibit success 1 Tho executive committee, Mir. Louis P.

cant and interesting facts. The ele- mentary school attendance in cer- tain sections Of the city has in creased; other sections have re- mained practically stationary and still other sections have suffered decreases in the period from June, 1928, to June, 1880.
 The total average daily atten,. dance for all elementary schools has not increased in the two year period. The average daily attendance in the two junior high schools has increased 155 in the same period The average daily attendance in the Senior High school has increased 174, For the same period so far as we have been able to ascertain, there has been no appreciable in- crease in the average daily atten- dance in parochial schools.
 The foregoing statements might seem to indicate that there has been no need for additional school build ings during the past two years. Such a conclusion would be unwar- ranted. however for the reason that the population centers of the city have been shifting during re- cent years. This shift is indicated by the following figures:

For auxiliary agencies for all schools total Of s4s,S77.S7 was ex- pended. This is 3,9 per cent of the total amount expended for all schools for all school purposes. This was distributed among the schools as follows:
 For elementary schools: $34.- 756.75; 69.6 per cent.
 For junior high schools: ss,2o7,- S5; 1s.4 per cent.
 For Senior High school; $5,91s.- 27; 12 per cent.
 Costs Per Pupil
 Figured on the foregoing state ment Of expenditures. and based upon the average daily attendance, the total cost per pupil in each di- vision of the schools was as follows for the year 192s-19so:

 This statement Is significant and warrants careful consideration as we'll as comparison with cost figures in other cities of the same class as New Britain.
 Tt may we'll be asked whether it should cost, to provide schooling for a. pupil of the Senior High school, three times as much as il does for the pupils of the elemen' tary schools The larger differences in costs for both junior high ani senior high schools as compared with elementary schools lie in the items of instruction and mainte- nance Of plants. These items should be carefully studied for the purpose of explaining fully these differences if not for securing a reduction o the differences,

MORE COURTS IS THE SOLUTION.

There is only one right way for Congress to solve the congestion due to crowded courts on account of the multiplying criminal actins for viola tions of Prohibition laws and denying those charged of crime the right to jury trial is not it. The sole just remedy is the creation of more court ma- chinery to try cases That is the way industry and business take care of increased demands and that is the way engineers meet situations. If the people want more of the products of manufacturers, more factories are built if there is congestion of traf fic additional transportation facilities are provided and if increased sloughing overflow interfere with engineers they provide the for caring for the interference In private matters men will not tol- crate the curtailment of the service demanded in order to meet unexpected conditions. And so it ought to be with the courts. They ought to do the work that has to be done, and if there are not enough courts to do it more should be created
 It has been urged that it would not be possible to provide room quickly for enough courts to care for the existing situation. We'll similar situations have been met before New York for time met the demand for school room by working the available room double shifts. Why not have two court shfts-or three, if need, four? Courts do not usually work over six hours to a shift and days are twenty-four hours long. It would be an easy matter to- arrange for two or three court shifts Or by introducing the dog watch system they have at sea so there would be no lunch time lost by court rooms. the judicial mills could grind continuously day and night. That would enable them to consume several times many criminal charges as they disposng of

SCIENTIST EXPLAINS NEW
 CALENDAR.

If present agitation to make the calendar year consist of 13 equal 28-day months is successful we may all find ourselves with extra holiday on hands. The extra day the last one of the year, would be holiday called year day" In leap years another holiday called leap day" would be inserted in midsummer
 Prof. c. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau of the United States Department Of Agriculture, says the proposal to make the calendar fixed and perpetual by giving nonweekdays names to year day" and "leap day" is believed by a number Of students who have investigated the history of the calendar to be in reality effort to follow the ancient Mosaic plan to begin every year on the same day of the week
 For this purpose, he explains, the day we now call Pentecost combined by Moses with the preceding day one prolonged Sabbath day in com- memoration of the great events of the Exodus which occurred when the children of Israel were before Mount Sinai and received the Commandments of the Lord According to this view, Moses set up the first perpetual" calendar in history each year beginning on the week day at or near the vernal equinox. The first five months contained 30 days each, the sixth month had B days, and the first half year 183 days The second half year similar to the first, began near the autumnal equinox.

Visionary and Illogical.
CNew work Herald Tribune )


 Senator Vandenberg's plan for renouncing Amer ican sovereignty over the Philippines in 1940 is somewhat less credulous and fanciful than Senator Kings proposal for immediate reunciation It in- wolves a ten-year trial of Philippine autonomy, including application of American tariff laws to Philippine products entering the rest of the United States After half decade of such experiment even the most emotional Filipino politicians prob ably would be camoring for return to the present order, with it's invaluable economic privileges. And the independstas in Congress if by 1940 they did not repudiate the Vandenberg plan, might convict themselves of greater cruelty to the Filipino people than would be involved in casting them adrift tomorrow. For if they bent doing a thing which is equally deplorabe from the point of view of Filipino welfare and from the point of view of American duty and interest they might as well try to do it now when at least some of the Filipnos half believe that they are competent to wreste with the onlinous problems of independence rather than later when they will have become demoralized and embittered by the demonstrated economic and political failure of semi-ndepend- ence.
 few of our independista politicians wish to get rid of the Philippines at any price, simply and solely to put an end to Philippine agricultural com petition in our market They would haul down the flag and speed the islands out as an incident of tariff legislation a handy substitute for do- mestc beet and cane sugar bounty. MT Vanden- berg does not subscribe to that narrow and gnoble policy. He told the Senate that he would not vote
 
 and also that he would not help to "penalize the Filipinos so long they are under the American flag"
 Such an announcement does him credit He knows, too, that this country with full control and authority over the Philippines could blame only it's own incompetence if any serious differences of economic interest between the archipelago and the rest of the United States were not successfully composed by legislation. Tariff autonomy is per- fectly practicable for the Philippines as Mir Borah Out under the present regime The fundamental ob Jection to any conditional unconditioned promise of independence for the Philippines arises from the patent fact that the people of the islands are h no sense prepared for independence and that to thrust It upon them, apart from the immortality and folly of such action our part would cer- tanly condemn them to political anarchy and con- quest and to economic ruin

 The National Commander said:
 In fairness to those who oppose the uni

 the plans offered for its operation and in
 fairness to those who advocate the adoption
 of this principle into law. it seems to us
 that Congress should authorize special and

STATE RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA.

State rights has become very live issue in Australia The Commonwealth has submitted to the voters of the several States the question of abandoning their State Legislatures and govern ments and centering all authority in the Federal Government. Australia is organized similar to the United States. except that she has only half dozen States as compared to the four dozen we have in this country.
 One would think, particularly when he considers that the area of Australia is about the same as that of United States, that the tendency there would be the creation of more States rather than the abolition of those she has
