 Building Committee Meeting
 No definite measures for the re- lief of the school housing problem were adopted at last nights meeting of the building committee of the school board. Various plans were considered but delay in taking any final action was OCCasioned by the feeling among the members of the committee that any measures for rSl relief must have the whole hearted approval of the voters of the town, and with this idea in their minds they are giving every possible angle of the situation careful con- sideration before making any recom- mendations.

 Despite the efforts of court off cials to have Lester Brotherton of New Britain speak in defense Of charges of reckless driving, speed . ing, disobeying an officer and breach | Of the peace, he maintained a si- lence that left the motive for his actions still a mystery when the case was brought to an end in Plainville town court today. He was fined s25 for reckless driving, $5 for disobey- ing the officer, and s5 for breach of the peace. The charge of speed 1 ing was nolled.

large, but even in such colleges, through
the development of intramural pro-
grams, there are more men interested In
intercollegiate competition.

Essential to Be Hopeful.

on in the hope that his team may be

rugged up to win part or all Of its i'm
portant games. I do not know that 1
have ever heard of coach who in adj
vance picked his team to stand at the
top. This is not because of modesty,
but because few teams that think they
are champions fail TO fall down at some
stage of the journey. The making of
foot ball team requires effort of most
serious sort, and each man must strive
for self and team improvement until
the whistle blows at the end of the last
game.
I broke the rule to some extent last
year in the case of Vanderbilt, because
nearly all the sports writer's, in the list
of contenders, did not put Vanderbilt
in the first 10. told these men to re-
wise their list and put us in the first
five. 1t seems to me it is wise philoso-
ply to encourage men that they may
be good, so the team may be in the
running with proper determination and
preparation, but 1t is never wise to say
in advance to a team that it will be
first.
There is an impression this year
around the conference that Vanderbilt
will be at or near the top, due to an
unusual amount of very good material
coming over from last years freshman
team, and due more to the fact that
Vanderbilt has scheduled games for a
"B" team. Vanderbilt "B" team will

in schedules. There will be half a
dozen teams this year which will lose
one or more games, but which could
pick a schedule that would give VIC
tory in seven conference games. The
better method would be to judge teams
by what they have attempted as well
as by what they have accomplished.
But it seems the desire of the Ameri-
can people to applaud excellence and
to seek out some person or organiza-
ton to proclaim champion.
Most Squads Are Strong.
Almost all the teams in the confer
ence are abundantly provided with let
ter men and veteran material, although
many brilliant men passed with the
1929 season. Some of these were Arm
strong and Banker, Tulane; Thomas
and Mizell, Georgia Tech, and Brown
and McGaugly, Vanderbilt. All the
institutions lost some good men through
graduation, but squads are not depend
ent upon stars to the same extent as in
former years.
Not only have the colleges grown
greatly in attendance, but through the
DEVELOPMENT of the intramural pro-
gram more men are brought out for
competition. Some Of the State uni
versities have 100 candidates or more.
Institutions like Vanderbilt, not sup
ported by the State and limited in en-
rollment have difficulty keeping pace

The New Fourth

Year by year the old-fashioned Fourth of July
with splitting cannon and sizzling rocket against
blue-black sky is becoming more and more of mem
ory.
The Fourth of July which small boys and girls
awaited as eagerly as Christmas ITSELF day of toy
torpedo Of cellulod collared orators and ice cream
socials has been transformed into independence
Day of quiet and dignity
"But how can we teach our children what Fourth
of July really means?" mother asked not long ago,
adding, ''you must meet child on his ground
things must be explained to him in terms that ne I'm
derstands."
This mother, who is fortunate enough never to
have been forced to the tragic task Of binding up
mangled little fingers shredded by innocent fire
crackers is arguing that child must be taught the
meaning of liberty and freedom and independence by
lighting pin wheel or hurting torpedo cane upon
the pavement.
It difficult for us who passed childhood in the
old-fashioned noisy Fourth of July decade to remem
Der that our Roman candles and 'flower pots meant
anything lofty and inspiring to anything but a
Eollickng holiday.
Safe and sane Fourths pretty we'll established
but the argument that some way should be found to
make green the meaning Of what those periWigged
builders of our nation did back on July 4, 1776 is
worthy one.
The great purpose Of a Fourth Of July observance
is not only to pay respect to the early trainers of this
government but to measure the patriotism of this
with that day. to determine whether this nation has
been true to the fath whether it has kept aloft the
TORCH whether it's willingness to sacrifice for the
mon good deserves place with the sacrifices of the
fathers of the nation. Such speculation is in order in
these times and quiet dgnifed observance such as
this city has in mind will be helpful.

The Immortal Fifty-Six

Fifty-sx members Of the Continental Congress
signed the Declaration Of Independence after its ad
option July 1776 and Of these daring patriots it
has been said that mot Of the signers fell
from the high estate to which that great act had ee
waited him.
Among the Sc were many Of the notable figures Of
the early history of the United States Two of them,
Adams and Jefferson, reached the presidency. Ben
jamn Harrison became the father of President and
the great grandfather of another The bold signature
of John Hancock who signed first President Of the
Congress- is the most conspicuous feature of the orr
ginal document Other exceptionally prominent sign
ers were Benjamin Franklin, Robert Norris DR.. Ben
jamin Rush, Samuel Adams Richard Henry Lee, and
Charles Carroll Carroll the last survivor and v
ed 80 years after the adoption of the Declaration
reaching the age of 95.
The sgners included "a lawyers, 13 farmers, nine
merchants five physicians, mechanics one clergy
man, one mason and one surveyor All except eight
were born On American soil.
To the wisdom, courage and patriotism of these
immortal S. who declared our independence and made
heroic sacrifices in it's behalf the existence of the
ton is largely due. They will be held in grateful
remembrance.

TEACHERS

One reason why our public schools
are not as good as they could and
should be is that we do not pay tH~
teacher the same respect-to say moth
ing of salary-that they do in Europe.
To be a school teacher in Germany
for instance, is to achieve at once a
degree of social standing, equivalent
to that of a physician or a lawyer.
Texas set an example years ago of
one way of increasing the teachers
self-respect. In 1860 'teachery' was
built in the Blum school district in
Guadalupe County-a home for the
teacher. Now Texas has 1,330of these
teachers homes, costing an average
of $780, One teacher, HI. E. Dietel,
of Schumannsville, taught one school
and lived in one teachery for 40 years
He became the foremost citizen of his
community.
The rural school without home for
the teacher or teachers is. z. relic of
the dark ages.
