Quizz Teacher On
 Convention English
Gilmartin Called Upon to Clarity Pronunciation of Political Terms

There has been so much discus
 sion during he past few weeks
 concerning the pronunciation of
 certain words used by speakers at the democratic and republican con- ventions that a Democrat stan man interviewed John c. Gilmartin principal of Croft and Welton grammar schools and the author of several books, for his interpreta- tions of them.
 The Croft school head remarked that he had been called upon to settle the same difficulties a num- Der of times within the past two Or three weeks. The words that lack uniformity in pronunciation by the various speakers were: dele-
 gate (the noun), candidate and
 legislative.
 MT Gilmartin remarked that his sources of information were the three dictionaries, Webster's Inter-
 national, Funk and Wagnall's
 Standard and The Winston Simpli-
 fled. In regard to the noun dele- gate, there Is only one pronuncia- tion sanctioned. The "a" is pro-
 nounced like "a" in senate and
 not like the "a" in gate. The a
 is pronounced as if it were spelled dePeget.
 Candidate has but one pronun- citation. Here the "a" is pro-
 nounced like the "a'' in gate and
 not like the "a" in senate. Legis-
 lative in the Webster and the Win
 ston Dictionaries, has but one pro-
 unciation, it Is legislative. It has no secondary accent after the 'la"
 and the "a" is pronounced like
 the "a" in senate. In the Standard

LIST PROPERTY
 SOME TIME TODAY
Last Chance to Save Ten Per Cent Penalty Add
 cd to Bills
OFFICE OPEN TONIGHT

This Is the last day for filing lists of taxable property. No matter who wins the coming national elec- ton, people will have to pay their taxes and for this reason it be- hooves everybody to see that the bill will not be any more than is really necessary. All who fail to list their property according to law, have ten per cent added to their bills. The assessors have no choice in this matter. so as many as fail to comply with the law pay well for their neglect.
 It is surprising the large num- ber of citizens that make fuss about the size of their rate bills, but do not give this matter enough thought to file lists once a year. All you have to do Is call at the office, tell one of the assessors what property you own and put your own value on 1t. This may be changed, but even so you will save having the ten per cent added to the amount of your bill. The, office will be open until o'clock this evening.

Would Prohibit Dangerous Toys
Society for Prevention of Blindness Makes
 Move

New York, July 1-Absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of dangerous toys such as air rifles, cap pistols, slingshots, bows and arrows, darts, toy guns, and other devices for projecting mis- sels, firecrackers and torpedoes is advocated by the National Society for the Prevention of Blidnness in the report of study of eye acci- dents in child play made public by the societly today. Julay 1st.
 The society finds that ther are now in schools for the blind some 500 children who have lost their sight as result of accidents, chiefly through the use of fire works, air rifles. and other wea- pons. Each year between 750 and 1000 children suffer accidental eye injuries in the United States, ac-- cording to c. Edith Kerby. statis- tician of the society. who ana lyzed data of such accidents throughout the country. About 70 children are actually blinded by accidents annually, and an extra ordinary proportion of these acci- dents. Miss Kerby says, occur on the Fourth of July and during the few days preceding and following. The society found that while more than 100 cities in the United States have some sort of ordinance restricting the manufacture, sale or use of air rifles and other weap- ons as children's toys, the vest majority of these laws are either inadequate or not properly en- forced. The surveys shows rela- lively fewer accidents to children in communities where there is re- strictive legislation. Since single small town having no fireworks legislation may act as "bootleg- tger" and sell fireworks to inhabi- tants of surrounding communities which are presumably protected by ordinances, the society advo- | cates statewide and interstate prohibition of fireworks, firearms. and other weapons as children's toys.
 The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness is sending the report if it's findings to the governors of all states. to the may ors of cities of 50,000 or more population, and to the manager of every safety council in America. In letters to these officials, Lewis H. Carris. managing director of the society, says: "The blinding of a child is always a great tragedy. This year-with millions of homes depressed by unemployment and povety, with hospital facilities throughout the country overburn- ened by the double load of inade- quate funds and increasing number of free patients, and yit hwide- spread undernourishment of the children of the unemployed-i tis more important than ever that the usual toll of serious accidents from fireworks. air rifles. and oth- CT toy weaons be Eliminated.

Miss Kelley Of Maloney Named
 Her Successor
Miss Bossidy, Principal of Washington Offered Posi- ton But Refuses Miss Louise Butler Succeeds Miss ReiIey-More Changes Reported Under Consideration

Changes are constantly coming up, in the public schools, and be- fore the teachers get back to their positions in the fall it is likely that there will be many Lew faces in some of the buildings. The last resignation filed comes from Miss Mary A. Cass, principal of the Mer- rinian school. This is not because Miss Cass has reached the age limit, so that teachers are quitting for various, reasons. Miss Cass has always been popular with the child ren and holds high place in the estimation of the school board. Her place will be filled by Miss Julia Kelley, assistant principal of the Maloney school Miss Kelley has been teaching in the schools of Waterbury for about 30 years and ranks high as an educator.
 It is understood that the Mer- riman position was offered to Miss Bossidy of Washington school. but although owing to falling off in att tendance, at Washington means

Woonsocket, Rhode Island. which has a taxpayers association estab- lished during 1880 and represent ing in its membership about one third of the city's total assessed roll, avoided a tax increase Tn 1851; reduced the city's bonded debt by $583,3O6, and operated within It's revenue with net profit Of $5S,- 823 during the year. The debt re- duction will save $23,00O in inter est. and this saving, in addition 10 rigid economy in municipal ex- penditures, will make possible a tax cut in 1882. This was accom- plished without bond issues Of bor- rowing, except for the sale or tax anticipation notes. a plan wnicn has since been adopted in several other New England cities.
 Unemployment relief in Woon- socket has been supported entirely by voluntary contributions, Without the necessity of municipal loan, and projects which at their peak employed more than goo men nave been carried on.
 The Taxpayers association, in addition to its other activities has CONSlSteHtly puWiiSA1SN .~~> about Woonsocket's financial situa- tion.
 Another New England city to recognize the necessity of setting it's financial house in order is Paw tucket, which reports that through the joint action of its city admins tration with taxpayers, bankers and brokers the following program has been accomplished:
 1. The office of director or the budget has been established.
 2. A five-year program of re- trenchment has been instituted, which will bring the total city debt to a five per cent basis of assessed valuation at the end of that time.
 8. Immediate measures have been taken, including esta blish- ment of a line of credit with local banks against tax anticipation notes equal to about one half the annual tax levy; the sale of $1,- 6S0.O0O 30-year, per cent bonds. to brokers, and the sale locally of $1,2O0.000 10-year serial 5 .1-2 to 6 per cent funding bonds: The last were subscribed for locally through a taxpayers bond commit- tee. without commission or other cost, to the city.

Dictionary 1t is legislative, that is, 1t contains e secondary accent or pause after the '1a' and the "a" Is pronounced like the '.as in gate. Hence in regard to this word either pronounciation is cor rect, whereas for the other two words only one pronounciation for each Is permissible and correct. Mir Gilmartin concluded by saying common usage Is ultimately re- sponsible for different pronOuncia- tions being incorporated by diction- ary makers.
 Ones English therefore, is help ed by these political gatherings and 1t proves that the radio has done much to aid the improve ment of pronunciation.

NOT MANY BOOKS RETURNED TO DATE
Opportunity for People Who Have City Pr0p-
 erty to Make Good
WHY NOT ACT TO-DAY

So far the Return Book Cam paign at the Silas Bronson Library has not been a success, but there is time enough yet for people who have books belonging to the insti- tuition to make good. The plan has worked well in other places and there is no reason why 1t should not have the desired result in Wa terbury. The Bronson Library, like all other libraries, loses a great many books in the rounds of a year. There is no explanation as to why this should be SO, but 1t is a complaint common in libraries all over the country.
 If you have a book belonging to the library which for any reason has been kept in your possession beyond the time limit, drop 1t in the receptacle at the main en- trance to the library building.
 Don't take any stock in the ru- nor that there is somebody watch ing to see who makes returns. This is not so. Nobody is watching and no questions will be asked by any body who returns book.

Rhode Island To
 End Financial Ills
Cities Organize in Effort to Tighten the Burden of the
 Taxpayers

of the Providence Chamber of Commerce urges that all adminis- trative officers exert constant vigil lance to keep expenditures in their departments below the amounts ap- propriated. The committee points out that in the last five years ac- tual total expenditures have been from $49,OO0 to $235,000 less than total appropriations, and that if such savings can be effected in less abnormal times, even greater sav- ings can be made in the current emergency.
