Making Up Time

The calendar of school vacations as ar ranged yesterday by the Board of Education is good one. It should meet with the approval of the general public and also with those whom it more directly touches - school children and their teachers l he state laws demand a certain number ot school days. each year. he law must DC complied with if towns and cities are to share in the school fund prorated each year on the number of school children. It IS common sense to limit the school year to definite length and to stick to that schedule come what may. Discipline could never be maintained with a haphazard schedule nor could registers be kept with such lax meth ods of schooling.
 Early announcement of school vacations shortened of necessity to make up the eleven days lost on account of the infantile paralysls epidemic, will be of distinct advantage. It will permit all concerned to plan for those intervals of vacation between now and next June. It will enable the school officials to put their efficient organization to work. By shortening the regular school vacations one or two days there is no necessity Of lengthening daily schoolhours, holding ses- sions on Saturdays or legal holidays All the latter will be observed as they should be. There will be a regular five day week with regular sessions each day.
 The first session is scheduled to end the day before Christmas and to open the fol- lowing "Wednesday, December 30. There will, of course. be day off that week also for New Years Day. There will be five day recess carly in March and also similar period in May. All public schools will close on June 24 It seems as if all concerned are being considered in this arrangement. It should work no hardship upon anybody. We feel sure that parents of Waterbury school children will be glad to see the new schedule.

STATE AID HAS STRINGS
(Hartford Times)

The question of improving ti,, schools in the rural or semi-rural communities in Connecticut through state grants has become inter twined. as it logically must, win the issue of control. If the state is to increase it's financial aid, there is bound to go with this help an enlarged measure of state super vision. How this works out in &C., tion may be seen in paragraph or two in the recent annual report of the Glastonbury board of education which states:
 As the town receives financial aid from the state for transporta- tion, evening classes. special classes, etc. so the town must conform to state requirements in these mat etrs. These requirements become yearly more exacting.
 In view of these things 1t is not likely that our school budget can be materially lessened in years to come. Rather to the contrary. Tn" only practical relief from this bur den, which all acknowledge to be excessive, Is state legislation that will increase state aid to such towns as our own.
 State educational authorities will not be displeased with the indica- ton that local town independence Is giving way before the proffer of state funds. linked as these are wi:h requirements which further add to need for more state help, Ex-
 ponents of the little red school
 house" have stoutly resisted this
 surrender of town autonomy in school affairs and theoretically cast far from them the idea of giving up local independence for mess Lof pottage in the form of state grants. But hunger Is doing It's work and with the state authorities prescribing forms of exercise
 which increases the appetite, the demand for more financial help from the commonwealth's coffers
 becomes necessity.
 The situation does not call for
 tears. The principle of school con
 solidation, meaning equal educa-
 tional opportunity. has some ap- plications which are wider than town areas. In. the towns with small grand lists. assuming they are made by the same standards
 as those of other cities and towns. but with approximately more chll- dren or are handicapped by trans portation problems. the educational
 standards may never be adequate
 ly improved except through some form of state intervention. This I the towns will resist unless they
 are tempted, persuaded or invited
 to accept 1t along with state aid
 Once on that path the. towns are Likely to prize less their isolation l and independence and more or less
 willingly accept from the state
 both money and supervision. The I Glastonbury report describes thit 4 situation as a trend" That is Iexactly what it Is and the end is mot yet h sight.

Some people note sim liar situation in Meriden. although this city is rated as normally republican and the dem ,oerats have heretofore had to fight hard for victory. In connection with the Waterbury election it will interest Meridenites to know that the city has discarded the unsatisfactory scheme of keeping some members of the board of Education in office and will choose a whole board every two years. Moreover. the mayor becomes member of the board and will have leading voice in its affairs. Things are different in Meriden where the mayor is not even consulted by the board. Y"

To-day's Selected Poem
THE LANTERNS OF ST EULALIE


 Monitor) ''''t In the October afternoon Orange and purple and maroon, Goes quiet Autumn, lamp in hand, About the apple-colored land, To light in every apple-tree The Lanterns of St Eulalie. They glimmer in the orchard shade Like fiery opals set in jade Crimson and russet and raw gold, Yellow and green and scarlet old. And O when I am far away By foaming reef or azure bay, In crowded street or hot lagoon. Or under the strange austral moon,-- When the homesickness comes to me For the great marshes by the sea, The running dikes, the brimming tide, And the dark frs on Fundy side, In dream once more shall behold Like signal lights, those globes of gold Hung out in every apple-tree The Lanterns of St Eulalie. Bliss Carman. in Ballads and Lyrics. '

Washington.-Wa if it is not the best policed American city, is certainly the most policed
 First, there's 8 Metropolitan police force of 1.341 men and this corresponds to the regular force in any other city, policing the Dis trict of Columbia in general. This force has a superintendent with the title of major and he is really responsible to President Hoover because he is named by the three district commissioners who are presidential appointees. President Wilson was once credited with hav- ing dictated the appointment to the superintendency of cop who haI .attrac acted the favorable attention of the official family.
 Entirely separate is the Caplto. police force, 90 strong, directly under the control of congress and responsible to the sergeant-at- arms of the senate and house. They patrol the Capitol, the con- gressional office buildings and at- tached grounds and direct trafhc in that territory. Congress ere ated this force remembering what happened when the capital was at Philadelphia. Unpaid soldiers be- sieged it and entered on the floors of both houses, the local gen. darmes being unable or unwilling to stop them. So congress estab- lished a force for its own protec- tion. The Capitol cops, most of them appointed through politics. are considered to have the softest and incest of the local police jobs. They have no contact with speak easies, slums or buns. And only an occasional crank. If commun- ists try to riot on the Capitol steps they call on the Metropolitan cops to squirt the tear gas and do the black -jacking. Many of the Capi- tol cops are students, working their way through college or law school here.
 There are AZ men on the White House police force, most of them former service men carefully picked from the Metropolitan ranks. They are under command of a captain and subject to orders from the secret service officers. They wear a snappy black uniform with gold trimmings.
 You find the 75 men on the park police all over town. They work directly under Colonel U. S. Grant III, director of public buildings and parks. and indirect ly under the secretary of war They police the public parks which comprise such large part of the District of Columbia area many small parkways and circles For instance, streets and avenues run off Dupont or Thomas circles in eight directions, streets up aud down and avenues diagonally. Ii the center the park police are on guard. Control over such circles was retained by the war depart ment when 1t thought of the French Revolution mobs and the way they barricaded and con- trolled the streets. Nobody has worried about 1t for a long time but the idea was that, owing te the peculiar layout of Washing. ton, small groups could contro the whole city from these strate. gic islands which look down tht

 traffic.
 The public building guards, with 394 men, is still another police force. This is also under Colonel Grant and patrols Al buildings and their grounds with full police au- thority on federal property. In and around some of the buildings they handle traffic.
 The Treasury and Agriculture Departments, Veterans Bureau and Smithsonian are among other departments and bureaus which have policemen of their own. Az riculture, for instance, has a force of 90 men.
 And this is not to mention the forces of detectives. investigators and other enforcement officers maintained by the Treasury (es- pecially secret service and bu- reau of internal revenue), jus- tice department, prohibition bu- reau, immigration service, cus- toms, post office department. coast guard and so on. Most of those officers are out in the field.
