Jail officials.
1t is understood from Mr.. Galleher
that the prosecutions case against
Crawford will be built around the testi-
mony of witnesses who say they saw
him near Middleburg before the crime
and he will be linked with the actual
staying by q note later found in the
car stolen from Mrs. Ilsey the night
she and her maid were beaten to death
with a bootjack. the prosecutor said.
A confession of the crime Crawford

The State Is expected to attempt to
establish double motive for the mur-
ders-robbery, because money and
jewelry belonging to Mrs Buckner was
missing after the crime, and revenge
because Crawford is supposed to have
known that Mrs. I1sley had sworn

a previous HOUSEKEEPING at her estate.
He was suspected Of that because he
formerly was employed by the sports
woman, but disappeared shortly after
the burglary.

 SYSTEM CRITICISED
Dr. Hopkins Talked on Sub- feet at Conference of
 Principals
FACING A CRISIS

Cnugtic criticism of curriculums offered to pupils in the majority Of secondary schools of this country was voiced by Dr. l.. Thomas Hop kins of Teachers College, Clumbia University, in talk at the three. days conference of principals oi junior and senior high schools Of the state at tho New Britain Nor nal school last night. Principal Joseph P, Kennedy of Wilby att tended the session.
 The speaker placed secondary school curriculum in three cntegor. ies; majority practice, in which the so-called academic studies pre- dominate preponderantly, with Q largo number of individual subjects and curriculum; conservative min- ority practice. in which is practiced a small number of subjects organ ized In broad fields; progressive minority practice representing q curriculum based upon abolition of all subject categories with mater ials organized functlonally in res lation 10 pupil experience and need.
 Present day movement in sec ondary schools Is away from the majority practice to one of the two minority types of practice, he snid, adding that he believed that sec ondary school education today ia facing c crisis period which 1t never before faced and q battle in sec- ondary school education during the next 10 years will be based upon those three problems.

The unusual feature of this drive in favor of Mr Colgrove Is the fact that those behind the city manager form of government are planning to keep him in the back. ground as much as possible until after they see how their plans for city managershlp come out In other words, those backing Mr Colgrove for mayor also oppose q mayor form of government they will strive to institute a city man. ngcr form of government; falling, they will back Mr Colgrovc for mayor.
 In the same breath. those back Ing Mr Colgrove for mayor are al- go striving to defeat the renomina- ton of Registrar of Voters Thom- as r. DIllane, republican.
 It Is known for Il fnct that tllc E. 0. D. leaders want to unseat Mr Dillnne and name e&-Alderman Arthur E. Blewitt. However, they nro skeptical about this because they fear the wrath of fourth and ilfth ward democrats as well as many democrats who split their whole ticket in order to vote for Mir Dillane.
