Board of Education Will Receive German Protes
A Tribute To "Jin" Darling (Rv fho EoSf Endor
(By the East Ender) )

Jim Darling, the policeman, who died suddenly Tuesday afternoon, was a native of the city. We knew him when he lived over in Bald win street, and when the Baldwin streets used him to care for the bats in the numerous strenuous amateur ball games played between the AbrigadorN team, and a similar lot of boys from the East End. We watched him grow from boyhood into manhood; we saw him go to work down at the old Ring shop, and from there, as we remember, to Benedict & Burnham's and eventually to his work as patrol man in the police department, af- ter having had taste of work as conductor on the trolley cars.
 Jim was part of good sized family, highly respectable people, who made their home in the city from childhood. They first lived in Baldwin street, then in Wash ington street and in lower South Main street. Jim and Tom were probably better known than any of the other members of the family. At any rate, these two young men were widely known by young fel- lows of their age over in Washing ton Hill, in the south end, and in the eastern part of the city.
 Jim was always a big fellow, a hale fellow well met. Everybody liked him; quiet in his ways and manner, he endeared himself to the many he had become acquainted with, and they became his close and loyal friends. When he got the idea of becoming 8 policeman into his head, he had little difficult ty in swaying the then commission CTS into naming ilim for the per- manent force.
 We of the east end always liked him, both as boy and in later years as a trolleyman and as a patrolman. He was one of that type always willing and anxious to do his part in the interest of a friend.
 Of late years hls station was dur ing the day time in Waterville There he made hundreds of friends by his loyalty to duty and his care of the numerous children of the Sprague school. Identified with Waterbury Lodge of Elks, occasion ally he would be seen at the clubs quarters, where he was well known and exceedingly popular. And why |shouldn he be; wasn't he native wasn't he a Waterbury boy, and didn't he possess the old time spirit and tolerance which went al- ways with Waterbury birth? He was born liberal, instructed that his first thought of living was fairness, and justice to all. He ad- hered to all of these principles through life.
 Yes, Jim Darling is dead, but those of us who really knew the

 The EZRA men here were bus fly working to-day with curtailed forces. There will be no activities here tomorrow at all, on the EZRA program, this extra holiday having become necessary because of the fact that the EZRA quota for April has already over-ex- pended on the weekly budget.

 'The place for the committee to discuss this matter is at the meet ing of the board of education meeting on Monday" declared the mayor.

 Germans May Organize,
 Attorney Hummel, following this mornings conference with Mayor Hays, declared that there is now 8 movement underway to bring about the setting up of a central committee representing federal ton of all the local German so- cieties.

Committee Advised
 By Mayor To Be At
 Meeting Next Week
Discontinuance of German Subject at Wlby Basis of Action Society Leaders Discuss Matter at Con-
 cordia Mass Meeting Condon Plan Criticized

Actions of the superintendent of schools changing certain courses of study in the high schools are not matters for his consideration until the school board, itself, takes a stand on the matter by a vote, Mayor Frank Hayes this morning informed a delegation representing the German people of Waterbury. A proposed change in the course of study has been given serious con. sideration by the school commis. sioners which would drop the study of the German language in Wilby high school.
 1. Attorney Albert Hummel headed committee which visited Mayor Hayes this morning protesting against the proposed discontinu- ance of the study of German at Wilby. Accompanying Attorney Hummel were William Mueskes William Schlauwecker. Mrs Frank Prosl and Mrs John Hermann.
 Protest To Board
 Mayor Hayes advised the dele. gation to take their protest direct ly to the meeting of the board of education at the regular meeting next Monday afternoon,
 The committee which visited the mayors office today was named last night at mass meeting of German society leaders in Concor- dia hall. Mrs Florence B. Webster, member of the board of educa- tion, Attorney Hummel. Mrs W. D. Messer, former teacher of Ger man in the high schools, and oth- CTS discussed the dropping of the subject at Wilby and criticised the proposed plan of Superintendent Thomas J. Condon.
 Economy Is Cause
 The reason for the dropping of the class at Wilby is in the inter. est of economy, according to Su- perintendent Condon. There were 2s German pupils in the first year and 12 in the second year, accord
