 Police Court
Man Just Released From Jail Sent Back for
 Another Term

Released from New Haven coun- ty jail last Thursday evening, Mi chael Bartholomew, 36, former local pugilist, was ordered commit ted again for a period of four months following his appearance before Judge John F. McGrath in police court this morning on the charge of breach of the peace. A bond of $1,O0O was named in event of an appeal to the court of com mon pleas.
 MichaePs war on some of his former acquaintances led to his downfall two months ago. He is alleged to have attempted to slap the face of Miss Ella Shannahan of 146 North Main street. On being released Thursday night it is alleged that Bartholomew waited in the vicinity of the young wo- mans home until 1 o'clock Friday morning and then aroused the household by ringing the door bell. Still later he called the young woman on the telephone and told her she was going to get a mark on her face, which was just an- other black mark against Michael, and he was arrested last evening following a complaint to the po- lice.
 Bartholomew has been "in" sev- eral times within the past two years. He escaped several long jail sentences or heavy fines by his claim that he was about to leave Waterbury to enter gov ernment hospital.

Deplores Cutting
 Teachers Salaries
Commissioner of Education Butterfield Claims It
 Shatters Morale

Dr Smith warned the superin- tendents that they were going to face one experience in the near fu- ture that they have never had be- fore. He said he hoped he was wrong, but that he was of the be- lief that for the first time public education was going to be put on the defensive"
 Various groups of people are go- ing to take advantage of economic stress to make attacks on things in which they do not believe, and at the same time advance their own ideas, Dr Smith said. There are more cities and towns where sal aries and appropriations are to be cut, he continued. But no matter what happens, the public schools system Is not going back to where it was 50, 25, or even 15 years ago, he insisted.
 School construction has been greatly improved in the past few years, Dr Smith said, adding that pensions have been created, salaries have been increased and school ap- propriations have been advanced. Nevertheless, he contended, educa- tion is going to be closely scrutin- ized and severely criticized.
 The newer things in education ought to be defended, Dr Smith argued. Rather than discard these innovations, he would abolish the things that were planned in the fifteenth century. If cities are so poor that they are forced to cut from $200O to 5000 from the sal ary of teacher making between $1,500 and $2,00O a year, then they are too poor to build six-lane con- crete highways, such as the one be- tween Boston and Worcester, he said.
 Dr Smith deplored the transfer of huge properties from the tax lists to the tax exempt lists.

Cutting of teachers salaries means the breaking up of the morale of the teaching force, Com missioner of Education Ernest w. Butterfield said in an address at the annual banquet of the Con- necticut Association of Public School Superintendents at the City club, Hartford, last night.
 Commissioner Butterfield, who spoke with Dr Payson Smith, com- missioner of education in Massa- chusetts, and Rev Hugh Shields of Ridgefeld, urged the superinten- dents to oppose the giving. up of anything gained in the past few years in the way of educational advantages; to fight any move to shorten the scope of instruction now given, and to protect against anything tending to weaken the morale of the teachers.
 Dr Butterfield briefly reviewed conditions in schools of western states. Summing up his expe- riences, he said people in New Eng land are not in the condition that those of other states are in finan- cially.
 If salaries of the teachers are cut, the commissioner said, it means the better teachers will go to other states, leaving behind thom the less competent teachers wko will be dissatisfied.
