The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-05-03

The board of education held Q long session yesterday afternoon during which the Robinson case came up again and considerable attention was paid to report of the state board of education on the condition of some of the schools.
 The case of Stephen W. Robin- son, manuel training teacher at the Duggan school, which occupied the attention of the board last week on q charge that he was absent from his class on March 31, and of which the accused was exonor- ated, came up again this time on motion that an investigation be conducted to determine whether MT Robinson had violated the spirit of his contract with the city when he made over his business to his wife presumably with the understanding that he would devote his entire time to his position in the schools. During the discussion on this matter, Miss Adams, office clerk who has kept tract of the work of tho ten manuel training teach CTS, was brought into the meeting and asked to explain the nature of Mir Robinson's work and how he performs 1t. Miss Adams described in detail how the work Is carried on and in answer to @ question as co whether she had received any complaint against MT Robinson she replied that she had not, adding that so far as she knew his work was very satisfactory since he en- tored the employ of the schools in 1919. In fact 1t developed from what Miss Adams said that MT Robinson Is responsible for cutting out the expense of repairing' tools for the manuel trainers, this work being done by those in charge of the departments.
 After a long exchange of opin- Ions, 1t was decided to refer the matter to the committee on teach- CTS for investigation and report,
 The statement of the state board of education relative to the condi- ton of the schools. printed In the Democrat last week, was gone over In a most thorough manner by Chairman Walsh who showed that very little of what was charged iS true, and quite a few statements had no foundation in fact. Some Of the things complained of are be- ing attended to and others are or a character that to carry out the suggestions would mean a complete encouragement of the buildings at an expense that the school board would not think of undertaking even though the funds were avail- able. The only things mentioned by the state board which MT Walsh admitted to be true were that there are q few leaks in some of the rooms, but these are being repaired from time to time. He denied that there was anything In the charge that examination of tho fire extinguishers had been or that there was Q scarcity of toilets in any school.
 MT Walsh called Building In. spector John White before the meeting and asked him questions about different buildings with the result that Superintendent Dono- van inquired of MT White what kind of men had made the inves- tigation for the state and how much they knew about their business. To this MT White replied that he could not answer that question. but he did know that most of the com. plaints were of character that did not amount to much.
 Tn conclusion Mir Walsh said that Waterbury has the lowest rate or any city in the state on the ih-

THE SALOON AND THE WOMEN.
(New York Post.)

The Daily News makes an interest- ing answer to the question, We'll, now that the saloons are coming back, are women to be admitted to them or barred from them as they were before Prohibition The answer of the News is, Our belief is that the la dies. will be admitted to the saloons and welcomed, just as they have been in the speakeasies during the Prohibit tion, nightmare" Nol constitutions
 amendment can prevent the return of the saloon, in one form or another. The constitutional prohibition of all liquor, as well as all saloons, failed in that result. The only way We are going to attack what used to be known as "the saloon evil" is by edu- eating public sentiment in temperance and by, letting local communities han dle their individual problems. We are inclined to agree wit hoour neighbor that the new saloon, whatever its form, cannot exclude the women. The women are already there. They are in speakeasies. whether high or low. Teey are in barber shops. They are in smoking cars. For we'll or i'll. they have broken down many of the old puritanical barriers against their. sex. We do not believe that .tha saloon. can raise them again. .,Women'ss stand- ards may eventually be lowered. by the saloons, pr. .wofen. may raise the standard of the saloon. Whichever way it works, the News. succinctly points out where the responsibility lies when it says: "We can attribute to the Prohibitionists the fact that, when they tried to stop men from drinking, they only succeeded :. in spreading the drink custom to women, boys. and girls. in addition to- men"

WHY PEOPLE SMILE,
John H. Goes Home,,


 Grover Whalen, formerly police commissioner of New York. said in an argument about religious persecu- cution in Russia .
 When the Soyiets deny that they prosecute religionists they are ex- actly like a Cinnaminson woman. "A league, called. the League for the Protection of Henpecked Illus bands, was once formed in Cinnamin- son, and John H. Row. was elected president.
 -."Well, John H. had just taken the chair and rapped the table for order with his gavel when a tall, gaunt wo- man burst into tthe hall. She glared around, and as soon as she. saw John she dashed down the aisle and up on the platform. She. clutched him by 'the back of the neck..ss-- "'You come home,' she snarled, and while she spoke she kept shaking him. What business have you got in a league of this kind? You ain't hena pecked.'."'
