Tuition Bills To Be
 Sent Out To Towns
Waterbury Will Collect Fees for Out of Town Children
 Educated in Our Local Schools

Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, said to-day. Dr. Con- don explained the system in answer to a question as to why Water bury has been billed for $792 for tuition by the City of New Haven.
 According to a statute enacted by the 1893 General Assembly, com- were deprived of the right to collect the $2.25 per pupil grant for children educated in other towns; and communities which furnish the tuition were giv- en the right to bill and collect for the education on the basis of .. pro rata cost per pupil.
 Each city employs . similar process. Waterbury must pay tuition bills to other cities with legal claims, so that the income received from payment for pupil education here does not represent net profit.

PART l.

those workers who received the benefits were merely receiving tenn porary advance from the in- surance fund which would be repaid as soon as employment was restored. Unfortunately, this was illusory.
 The importance of this point, in considering our proposed legisla- ton, is that we have no assurance as to when our own depression will end. It is clear that if the British had the thing to do over, and could know that their depres- sion was really only beginning, in- stead of being nearly over as they thought, they would not extend their limited system as they did by the 1920 Act, but would await the return of business recovery. Yet we in the United States are being urged to institute a general system in the midst of an unpre- cedented depression, when no one can predict with any degree of certainty when normal employ ment levels will again be reach ed.
 Although we are attempting to embrace the entire scope of social security in one sweep, it is pertl- nent to note that after score of years experience, Great Britain in 1881 became so involved that if appointed q special Royal Com mission to study their system, and 1t took this commission two years to make its report, which led again to a general revamping of the program in that country.
 There is one additional factor which ought to receive serious consideration, namely, whether in the event "a system is established it should rest upon contributions by employers only as presently proposed; by employers. employ ees and the Government; or em- ployers and employees jointly. The British system is founded on equal contributions by all three parties. The British argument is that if there is three-way plan of contribution and on an equal basis, each of the three parties is practically estopped to agitate for increases in rates of benefits which may have the effect of breaking down the fund. The unions cannot agitate for these increases because to do so Is to advocate additional taxation of the employees. Majority political par ties being charged with the re- sponsibility of balancing budgets and maintaining the solvency of the insurance fund are much less likely to make inroads upon the fund when they also have the re- SnOO SihiJitV of layVipp fayps to meet possible deficits. {

 Before beginning to analyze just what this legislation means and its costs, it is interesting to review briefly the experience of other ma, tions with such programs. Great Britain, for instance, began her ex- periments A years ago and since then has altered the legislation .24 times. Beginning in 1921, Parlia- ment acted from time to time to relax various requirements in the belief that prosperity was just around the corner and that the relaxation would be only temper ary.
