 Don't you get it?' asked Sylvia, noting the raiders amazement. Gar rity looked more amazed.
 T guess you're not one of us," Sylvia finished sadly.

 Woods Pledges Aid to filling
 Speaking as campaign manager for Attorney General filling, Will liam H. Judd today made the follow ing statement:
 We appreciate very much the splendid work done before and dur ing the primary by the various ward captains and their aides. They form ed a fine organization, and the re- suits speak for themselves"
 Prosecutor Woods made the fol- lowing statement:-
 II desire to state that I am grate- full for the loyal support of my many friends in the campaign which I conducted. Those who had my interests at heart were very sincere to me, and I cheerfully abide by the result of the election. I wish to emphasize the fact that I shall SUD- port Judge filling for his election in November, and do all in my power to further his support in the coming campaign for judge of probate for the district of Berlin"
 filling Wins in Berlin
 Strength of the Woods faction in the Berlin fight was lacking.
 Repeated assurances emanating from the headquarters of the Woods forces in New Britain tended to leave the impression that he would experience little trouble in having his delegates named in Berlin. After the votes had been counted he was found to have received slightly more than Al per cent of the total num- Der of votes cast for filling.
 The total number of votes cast in the Berlin caucus reached 271 of which number filling received 192 while 79 were cast for the Woods delegates.
 The bitter fight that was prophe- sled on the floor of the caucus did not materialize because of the agreement reached shortly before the time of the caucus which SUD- planted the viva voce method of election with the paper ballot. This last procedure was a novelty in local caucuses and was taken to avoid confusion.

Good Roads Sound Knell of Little
 Red Schoolhouse, Butter6eld Says

Hartford, Sept. 5 (UP)-The day Of the little red schoolhouse" rapidly is passing, due to changes in rural education made possible by good roads and better teacher-train- ing, Connecticut's new commissioner of education, Dr. Ernest w. Butter field, said today.
 Dr. Butterfield, who officially un- dertook his duties this week, made this statement in an interview with the United Press in which he dis cussed such problems as loss of young teachers through marriage, eacher-training, function of the state in education, standardized methods and college training. A graduate of Dartmouth college, the ticut from New Hampshire, where he held a similar post, to succeed Dr. Albert B. Meredith
 By keeping the highways open the year around" pr. Butterfeld ex- plained, the state has made pos sible the erection of six, eight and ten-room country schools in place of the old one-room schools.
 This growth of larger school units in rural districts is of untold advantage to the educational sys- tenn as whole" he continued "The farmer gradually is s~iearning that the monetary value of his farm is not lessened by the fact that the district school is not just down the road He is learning that buses are making possible far better schools than anything he enjoyed as boy"
 Marriage Creates Problem
 The larger number of potential teachers graduated each year makes it possible to supply even small rural schools with instructors of q high type today, the commissioner pointed out. /
 A problem of concern to authori- ties, he said, is that of the young teacher who marries within few years after beginning to teach. "Of course we. cannot demand that our teachers lead a life of celibacy-that is decidedly wrong" he added.
 Discussing training of teachers, pr. Butterfield declared "the trend is now toward a four-year college course of preparation rather than the present two-year requirement" This, he explained, would serve to draw to the profession a larger number of those who intend to make it life work.
 ''The state should serve as a CO., ordinating force to unify the vari- ous educational systems used in the many cities and towns" said the commissioner Tt should point the way to improvement and serve as :I clearing house for various ideas and programs of improved education"
 Opposes "Mass" Education
 The new commissioner opposes the mass" idea in education. Such methods as intelligence tests, segre- gation of backward children and standardized forms of education, while highly, desirable" he said, can be carried to extremes.
 Dr. Butterfleld believes it the duty of the high schools not only to prepare for college but to give well-rounded training to those who will work in cities and on farms.
 He declined to discuss Connecti- cuts specific problems, explaining he has not been here long enough to become familiar with the states methods. He declared his intention, however, not to upset present pro- grams but rather to work slowly along lines which to my mind will bring improvement and advance ment"

 There certainly was nothing in the carrier }igeon's message, which was received soon afterward, to in- dicate an approaching descent, or trouble of any sort. There was no mention of formation of ice on the envelope, a gradual process. Since so little time elapsed between dis patch of the pigeon and descent of the balloon, the descent may have been due to a sudden storm, a rapid hydrogen leak. or other sudden, and unexpected cause.
