son, hence the objection to putting the street into the Walsh district.
 No action was taken, the opinion seeming to prevail that so long as the children are going to the Walsh school 1t is not material whether the line Is changed or not.
 A petition came from Mrs Jean Foraker of West Main street ask ing that her girl be permitted to attend the Russell school instead of going to Driggs. The reason given was that Russel is much nearer and besides the child would not be subject to as much risk to accident ip reaching Russell. The petition was granted with the understanding that a few other children in that immediate neigh borhood, who are attending Driggs may go to Russel if they so de- sire.
 The trouble over school lines is one of the big problems in Wa terbury. There are schools enough but owing to the shifting of the school population, the board is finding it difficult to satisfy par ents who want their children to attend certain schools. As a re- suit ,of this double session are be- ing held in some schools while there are rooms idle in others near enough to children who are causing the crowding.
 The appointment of Ruth E. Blansfield and Margaret M. .Conaty, to teach in the grade schools each at salary of $500 was approved. The committe on teachers recom- mended the acceptance of the res- ignation of Miss Helene Miller, a teacher in the grade schools.
 Transfers authorized by Supt of Schools M. c. Donovan were as follows:
 Rose K. Bannon, from grade 6, Sprague. department, to grade s, arithmetic.
 Elizabeth Blodgett, grade 5, Sprague, language to grade 6, language. Kathleen Donahue, grade 4, Sprague, to grade 5, arithmetic.
 Evelyn A. Lawlor. grade 2 Slo- cum, departmental, to grade 4, Sprague.
 The miscellaneous bills amount ing to $13,252.17 were recommend ed to the board of finance for pay ment.

The board of education met yes- terday afternoon and transacted all the business on hand in ten or fifteen minutes. The first mat, ter brought up was the complaint of residents of Rose street against retaining that street in the Wilson school lines. The children are be- Ing permitted to attend the Walsh school, but this does not satisfy the people. They want the matter settled once and for all, so that they will not have the matter pn their mind every year.

Washington, Aug 30-(UP)- The new policy of the Reconstruc- ton Finance corporation in seek ing to "sell" itself to the public from the west reported to Presi- dates from the time when scouts dent Hoover that the impression was current among many that it existed solely for the benefit of big banks, Gardner Cowles of Des Moines, a newspaper publisher for years before he became @ director on the corporation has been dele gated to keep the press informed of the corporations activities. An- other director who is a newspaper publisher, Jesse Jones of Texas. made a speech last night designed to refute criticisms. Jones. like Chairman Pomerene. who ex- plained the corporation's policies to the recent business conference here, is an active party democrat.
 Government officials are doing far less travelling since the recent economy bill cut them down to $6 . day plus railroad fare, for ex- penses. Porters' tips and other ex- tras have been cut out. An official going from Washington the sub- treasury in New York for instance would be entitled to taxicab fare from the station in New York to his hotel. But no taxis down to the sub-treasury in Wall street. Not unless the subways should be closed down.
 Because of this low limit the government had . hard time get ting qualified men to accept places on the delegation to the forthcom- ing radio conference in Madrid.
 Senator Wallace White, repn, Maine, one of the authors of the radio act, refused to go because the assignment would cost money out of ilis own pocket.

that today he can read. write. carry on CONVEX

amount of enjoyment out of life.
Not since the story of Helen Keller has there
been so amazing tale Of victory over the
curses of darkness and silence.
Jesse Listens story has unfolded during the
last few years at the Indiana State School for
the Deaf. where he is one Of the ABS pupils.
Born at Logansport. Ind. he had oaly two
of the FIVE senses-the sense Of touch and the
sense Of taste. He could neither see. hear nor
smell.
For the first 10 years of his life he existed
rather than lived. His parents tried repeatedly
to get him into state schools for the handi-
capped, and failed.
"A UTHORITIES at the school for the deaf
y pointed out that he was blind. and authori-
ties at the school for the blind pointed cut that
he was deaf. Neither school felt itself equipped
to care for him. So he stayed at home and got
very little help.

attention Of the then governor of Indiana. War
