as announced to the meeting of
the Association for the Advancement of
Science now in session at Los Angeles
on the likes and dislikes of the common
fly.
Dr. Freeborn arrives at some interest
ing conclusions following the more or
less monOtonous Job Of counting 10000
fly Specks. Among the conclusions are
that, contrary to the prevailing opinion
that a mans bald head Is the favorite
spot for Mr. Fly to make landing, he
really prefers . landing field of dark
blue hue. Of course if the bald-headed
man happens to be suffering from the
blues, that might make his dome the
ideal place after all.
Opposite from the bald-headed mans
head. or fields of blue in popularity, Is
any surface finished in a primrose hue.
The flies Just can't abide it and prob
ably go off and commit suicide after en-
countering it.
1t all seems so silly. this idea of
grown and intelligent man counting fly
specks and peelling in on the privacy of
a flys life to find out his habits, but is
it?
MOI NIeu one lGdI is tIlG 1SeloOlI bC-
hind Dr. Freeborn's experiments. 1t
wasn't Just curiosity which prompted
them. He had been asked by dairymen,
pestered with flies, to find out, if pos
sible, the most desirable tint to paint
their COW barns, in an effort to cut down
the number of flies with which such
places are extremely popular.
Imperial Valley dairymen, when they
learn of DR.. Freeborn's 5 experiments and
conclusions, might do we'll to try them
out. The fly, far from being a joke, is
one of mans worst enemies. He is a germ
carrier of high efficiency and no small
number of deaths can be traced direct
ly and indirectly to him. He thrives on
filth and dirt
Anything that can cut down the num-
Der of flies is certainly worthy of cOnsid-
GRAFTON and far from wishing to poke
fun at DR.. Freeborn, we not only admire
his patience, demonstrated in that big
count of fly specks, but cite him as an
example of those unsung heroes-the
scientists who labor quietly and efficient
" to make this world a better and more
healthful place for man.

OUR SCHOOLS FUNCTIONING

Taxpayers of Fl Centre have every
reason to be proud of their school dis
trict and proud also of themselves. ac-
cording to the annual report submitted
TO the board of trustees by Superintend-
ent Guy A. Weakley.
While schools throughout the country
are in financial difficulty some having
to suspend classes or being unable 10 pay
their teachers. Ell Centro's district IS not
only functioning up to standard but has
a financial surplus, Is paying its way as
it goes along and Is making improve
ments in its physical equipment and ad-
ditions to its curriculum. This has been
accomplished not by increasing the tax
rate but by decreasing it, the rate for the
past year being six cents under the pre-
ceding years figure. That the methods
being pursued in management are sound
is indicated by the possibility that the
rate for the next year may be even low
er with practical assurance that it will
not be larger.
This is all to the credit of the school
superintendent and the board Of trustees.
On the credit side of the taxpayers is
the fact that they are not only meeting
their present obligations but are catch
ing up on delinquencies caused by the
financial stress Of the past few years,
SO 600 in delinquent taxes having been
| received during the past year.
Any concern which could keep going
on an even keel during the past few
years, has surely been entitled TO credit.
Few could cut down their income and
still show a profit. The Ell Centre school
district has done Just that. and We be-
+ lieve taxpayers will appreciate the ef-
forts which are being made to give chill
| dren Of the city the best there is in edu-
cation and at the same time show the
proper consideration for the taxpayer.
Comments are always in danger Of be-
. ing nlisconstrued, yet we cannot refrain
from expressing our admiration for the
present grammar school set-up. During
many years past it has not only been
difficult but next to impossible at times,
. to obtain information Of general inter-
est to the public, and which it was en-
titled to know from school officials.
Evasions and even rebuffs were the rule
rather than the exception. The present
set-up not only has coOperated IN CIV
ling information at all times, but on num-
erous occasions has volunteered it, not IN
any effort to publiciZe itself, but, by Civ
ing parents facts and information on the
schools, encourage them to take a great
er interest in school affairs. A news
paper cannot help but recognize and
compliment such cooperation and wish
that it would extend to every depart
nent of government. too many Of which
adopt the attitude that what they do and
how they do it are no concern of the pub
lies.
Contacts with the present school board
and the school superintendent have con-
vinced us that they are individually and
collectively interested in just one thing
30 far as schools are concerned-to make
them better and to do so in the interest
of the taxpayer as we'll as the pupils.
This city is indeed fortunate in hav-
ing such citizens at the head of one Of its
most important departments

Death Recalls Peril

This Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Drey-
fus of France, who died just the other
day, will have about as odd niche in the
history books as any men that ever
lived. 1t was Dreyfus' unhappy fate to
be a living testimonial to the fact that
when men give way to prejudice they can
lose all resemblance to rational beings.
Not in all the innumerable years OF hui
man stupidity and meanness has there
been more clear-cut display of the sheer
dumbness of race prejudice than was
evinced in his case.
Consider his career for moment. he
was a young officer on the general staff
of the French army; a quiet, talented
man, who finished ninth in class OF 81
in the war college, minded his own busl-
ness and worked industriously at his
chosen calling. Then, out of clear sky,
he was assailed by the worst charge that
can be brought against soldier-treason.
From the very beginning the case against
him was flimsy The evidence stank to
high heaven. It was obvious that the
army high command was proceeding
against him largely because he was Jew.
1t was not long after he had been con-
yicted and sent to DEVILS Island that the
flimsiness of the accusation was too ap-
parent for any thinking man to miss.
Yet the French people managed to get
themselves so wrought up over the case
that only the bravest dared suggest that
Dreyfus had been wrongly convicted Men
were driven out of public life for taking
his part. An army officer who discovered
proofs of his innocence was exiled to the
desert. Eventually the swindle became
too apparent to overlook. Dreyfus was
recalled and given a new trial - and
convicted again. At last it took pardon
by the president of the republic to bring
him back to freedom; and even after that,
1t took extended court hearings to remove
the last blot from his record.
81. What happened to Dreyfus himself no
longer matters very much. The man is
dead, and whatever he may have known of
disappointment, of bitterness, of sheer
heart-sickness, is gone forever. The
thing that is worth bordering about is
what happened to his fellow citizens, to
make them go insane.
The answer to that is very simple They
gave way to race prejudice; and race
prejudice, being an utterly nonsensical
thing from the start blinded them to all
considerations of truth and justice just
AS it always does. On Dreyfus' unlucky
person it raised a warning monument for
all ages to note. 1t would not hurt us a
bit to keep the Dreyfus case in mind. Here,
once and for all, the utter insanity of sur
render to race prejudice is recorded in
terms of injustice and tragedy.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-07-18

According to official advices the WPA
will take over Connecticut on August i.
At least that's the way we regard it after
reading the glowing reports of how the
new federal administration is going to
swallow up the FERA completely and give
a fine account of itself in so doing. We
are willing to give every cooperation pos
sible, but we would like to see some action.
Other than providing helpful employment
we have yet to see in this state one major
project accomplished by the FERA. And
if that isn't part of its purpose, then we
misunderstood it completely.
Of course it is something to know that
FERA workers won't be completely out
in the cold when this branch of govern
ment services ceases to function It would
be quite demoralizing blow on recovery
in the nation to throw millions of men and
women on their own once more after play
ing fairy godmother to them for so many
months. But accompanying this good
will gesture of providing jobs for the
needy, there goes the corresponding task
of doing something about the hundred and
one projects that are crying for help
throughout the state.
The task of retaining Connecticut
from sewage-polluted waterways has not
even been attempted in this state. Prob
ably it hasn't in many others, if it has
in any particular one Still it is one of
our greatest problems. 1t constitutes
what could almost be termed a national
peril And in Connecticut with it's tiny
area some concern should be aroused over
the fact that few of our natural water
courses are free today from contamina-
ton. Even the great Sound that ticks our
southern shores is becoming infested. Re-
clamation of the water as we'll as the land
should be of vital Importance to Uncle
Sam acting as a helpful father to his off
spring.
