per; $500 bills of red, $25 and
$100 bills of green. The children
make their paper banks of coloreC
paper. On one side of the bank is
printed "My Bank" At the enc
of each month the children empty
their banks. A record of the toy
money is accredited to each chilc
in his own bank book.
For every 100 per cent they
earn in each subject daily and fol
clean health habits 81 is earned
For perfect attendance for the siz
weeks period $5 bill is earned
and for no tardy marks a $25 bill
is given.
The banking system helps the
discipline problem. Every chilC
who tries to observe the rules re
ceives SIS. The children who brea7
the rules are fined 81 for each of
fense. They do not like to los
their money after they have earn
ed it. There is much competition
to see which boy or girl will hav
the most money earned eacl

PASSING FROM Pl BIlC TO PRIVATE IIEL,

When a man is Mayor Of th" city he is much in the public eye, When he retires to private life it is sur prising now rapidly he slips into tn" back ground. There is Mayo' Paonessa, for instance. Niril" energetic gentleman who during ;l soodly part Of his term just closing vas discussed wherever men and measures were of interest locally. When he relinquishes the reins Of office 10 d successor one will hear very little of Mayor Paonessa. In a few years from now, when his name is mentioned or he is pointed out or the street, the remark will be some thing like, "Oh, he is the man who was Mayor Of New Britain three times and raised quite a fuss. Then, What was the fuss all about?' may be asked. And the reply will he something like. "Oh, he had d jam with some officials dunno any more what the jam was all about but it was quite a fuss" Scla.
 There were the two yeals, for in- stance, when Mayor Paoncssa was just plain NJ Paonessa, when he lowered between terms and harbor- cd an idea that he might stage a comeback. He was out of town near lv as often as in, and was at least not seen often in our expanding downtown section. Once we met him in a, store and he talked just like any other citizen. showing an in- clination to view civic issues as they were being solved with quite citi- cal eye. That's what almost every body outside Of City Hall does.
 When a public man returns to private citizenship a great load rolls from his mind, and that is an ad- vantage. Many men with a flair for public life run for office and a fair proportion get elected. But going hack to public life always seems pleasant.

CHARTERS AND ORDINANCES

One gentleman in public life told us the other day that it was time something were done about the city printing enough copies Of the city charter and the ordinances Of the city to meet the demand for copies He himself, he admitted. had never seen a copy of the city charter for about a year" and to the best O his knowledge there are not many 10 be found in City Hall. When the Mayor recently referred to sOmc- thing in the city charter there was wild scramble among politicians to find copies Of the precious doCumeni and it IS said that some Of then were entirely unsuccessful. As fo! the ordinances, they have been printed ut a later date than the charter, and more Of them than the other are to be had; but they are not in sufficient quantities to astound those needing 10 look things mp.
 The new administration when jt goes into office would do well 10 have enough copies Of the charter and ordinances printed to fulfill T constant demand to consult them by citizens desiring 10 check up oli what's what.

The art of censoring has shown greater efficiency, and far from opposing it, the Hays organi- zation has invited women from cer- tain women's organizations to attend pre-views of films in Los Angeles, 10 pool" their opinions, and then the film magnates will do the rest.
 Not only that, but women throughout the entire country have been invited to join in the censoring crusade. It is terrifying to think what would happen in the case of a widespread divergence of opinion; but probably the Hays organization knows how to get around such a diff fculry.

 What the motion picture industry has not get learned, however, is that there is a minority in the United States which does not care for ths same sort Of fare as that desired by the "flappcr trade"-to use an expression from no less a trade authority than Variety, the famed theatrical weekly,
