Kansas Nebraska Bill

The Kansas Nebraska Bill was
issued by Stephen Douglas of III
inois. He was the leader of the
Democratic party in the North, and
later became one of the foremost
figures in American life. Douglas
reported bill for the organization
of the territory west of Missouri
This territory was to be settled on
the principle of "squatter sovereign
ty."
Some days later, on the advice
of some of the Southern Senators,
and President Pierce's approval.
Douglas made new bill which re-
pealed the Missouri Compromise
and divided the territory into two
parts by the 10th parallel. Kansas
was to be settled to the south, and
Nebraska was to be settled to the
north. 1t was expected that Kan
sas would be a slave state and
Nebraska would be a free state.
This bill caused quite a little
criticism in the North. They said
that Douglas was trying to get
votes from the south; to run for
presidency. Douglas had voted for
the Missouri Compromise but was
now going against it.
The bill was passed by the House
and Senate, and signed by Presi-
dent Pierce.

An Interesting Letter by a Pupil

An Interesting Letter by Pupil
Dear Editor of the Herald:
AS a pupil of Clayton School l
will expires my opinion of the ?. I.
A work of this school. This year
there hasn't been much going on In
the line of p. T. A. work
/ think the p T. A. helps in the
advancement of our school. One OF
the main things it has done in re-
cent years is to aid in health work,
Tonsil operations, free lunches, q
balanced diet and an improved
cafeteria can be attributed TO y.
This year it is striving to aid in the
development of an all year round
playground for our pupils. | am
sure it will be successful in this en-
terprise.
Another reason for an active +.
T. A is the fact that it keeps par
ents and teachers in cooperation

of gaining all possible knowledge;
the Importance of any form of saw

Thus when graduated the pupil
of today knows the great value of
thrift-a lesson that well may be

What a strange setting Tor Ro-
nance! The scene, Brooklyn police
headquarters. All around, men in
uniform. On the faces of most
of the officers, concern and even
worry. Six-foot Patrolman George
Intermot, the most worried looking
and more nervous of all. He was
one of % officers against whom
charges for breaking the rules of
the department had been brought.
Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine
had appeared unexpectedly to take
charge of the trials. Astute, though
he is, the occasion was merely un-
pleasant routine-unpleasant be-
cause, having come up from the
ranks, he doesn't like to see po-
licemen up on charges. But Ro-
nance was present just the same
even though Patrolman Intermot
was the only one aware of it.
In the course of time, Intermot's
case was reached. The charge
against him was that of being away
from his most in Forest Hills,

Action

February 1st, has rolled around
once again and a new batch" of
Juniors have taken up their duties
in an attempt to raise money for
that "Trip to Washington" To
raise enough money to accommo-
date approximately As persons on
such a trip will take plenty of ac-
tion and cooperation.
1t is an annual duty for the Jun
iors to take over the management
of the candy department" in Feb
ruary, of each year. This gives
them a start before they reach the
Senior year, and a chance to ac-
cumulate the money for their trip
Every Junior seems to be glad to
get a chance to start making this
money; in fact, there seems to be
SO much pep" shown, that 1 don't
believe we shall have any trouble
getting the sum by June, 1887.

'BAHR PLAN ON
PSYcHIATRISTS
WINS SUPPORT
Stetson and Hacker Indorse
Proposal and Forecast
Approval.

Indianapolis public school educa-
tors today greeted with approval
the suggestion of DR.. Max Bahr
Central Indiana Hospital superin-
tendent, that schools should employ
full-time psychiatrists.
They predicted that Indianapolis
public schools will employ them as
soon as there is enough money te
pay their salaries.
Paul c. Stetson, superintendent
of schools, said:
"Dr. Bahr's plan would be a de-
sirable thing. There is room fol-
more than one full-time psychia
trist. But there is no money tc
pay them now. We have it in
mind, however, and the time will
come when they will be regular
members of the school staffs."
w. A. Hacker, assistant superin-
tendent and director of special edu-
cation, said:
"Psychiatrists would solve many
problems that now escape atten-
ton and end in unfortunate mental
diseases. We hope the time will
come when they will be on the
school staffs."

FRANK CONTI TO
 KNOW FATE SOON

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. IA (UP)- States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt prepared today to conclude the states arguments against Frank Cont, 32, Waterbury, accused of bribing a WPA worker to obtain an affidavit against former City Att torney Daniel Pouzzner, who is fac- ing disbarment because of alleged unethical practices. On the stand in his own defense yesterday, Cont denied giving Carmine Riolino, re- lief worker, $200 for an affidavit against the lawyer.
 Cont charged the $200 alleged to have been transferred to Riolino, came from James Demaio, gas sta- ton manager, in whose place the money was alleged to have been paid.
 In his summation, Hoyt asserted the state "has a perfect case oi bribery" He said it was of no great importance whether Demaic had framed" Cont. The impor- tant factor in the case, he said was that Cont had proffered tho bribe to Riolino. Judge Car Foster adjourned court before Hoy, could finish, and he. was to resume today.
 Defense, Attorney walfrid c Lundborg, Hartford, in his 'sumnaa. ton, said he did not believe it 1 \ violation of statutes for witnesses tl ne. paid for testifying to the truth.

The third night of the fall term of the American Red Cross swim ming classes at the Crosby high school pool, showed g record atten- dance, it was announced today by Mrs. Howard Kraft, director.
 A number of girls passed Red, Blue and White Band tests. They were: Loretta Barbieri, Gertrude Rosa, Eleanore Juliano, and Alice Petro. Louise Petro passed Red and Blue Band tests, and Mollie Sunama received her White Band. The fol- lowing girls worked on the Green Band, a more advanced test: Phyllis Platt, Nancy Stoddard, Rosa Gang loff, Dorothy Doty, Ann Aldrich, Lois Fenton, Marion Wight, Alice Petro, and Lucille Gotsell.

enrolment.
 High school enrolment shows a total of 4,386 as compared with 4,325 last year, @ net increase of 61. Crosby has 147 fewer pupils, while Leavenworth and Wilby show gains of 18 and 28, respectively. Tuition pupils from surrounding towns are represented in the above figures to the number of PAS. The high peak of high school enrolment was in October of 1892 when the num- Der was 4,457. Since that. time con- ditionS have been more or less stationary for the schools as a whole. However, it is inevitable that with the very greatly reduced num- Der of pupils entering the grades a corresponding drop will take place in our high schools within a few years. I even look for the begin- ming of this decrease in 1887.
 52 Evening Glasses
 Evening school figures for this fall as reported by Director John G. Gilmartin show 215 enrolled in Non-E English Speaking classes and 1,265> in General Evening School classes or total of 1,48O. Fifty-two classes are provided to take care of the varied needs of these adults. MT. Gilmartin is confident that the present year will be even more suc- cessful than was the year 1885:

Prosperous Boom ln Local
 Industries To Continue
Factory Executive Predict Greater Activities in
 Near Future

John A. Coe, ST., president of the American Brass company, and Fred erick 6. Chase, president of the Chase Brass and Copper company, today expressed the opinion that the increased employment in Waterbury during the past month, as shown in the local Chamber of Commerce re- port, will be a permanent thing. In- cidentally 900 new employees were added to the payrolls of the local factories during September.
 Business is coming back natur- ally and normally" declared MT. Chase. Under these col ditions em- ployment increases should continue permanently. I can see no reason for any drop-off unless something unforeseen occurs" he added.
 Mir. Coe said: T am hopeful that the present rate of employment in- crease will continue. Of course there IS likely to be 8 slight seasonal de- crease late in December or early in January due to inventories being made by concerns buying from us. January is the inventory month in most companies. On the whole, how ever, I am hopeful that the present rate of employment will continue on a permanent. basis"
 MT. Chase and Mrs. Coe are heads of the three largest manufacturing concerns in the city. Efforts to reach John H. GoSs of the Scovill Manu- featuring company were in vain to- day as he is in New York on busi- ness. It is believed that MT. Goss' opinion would coincide with those of MT. Chase and MT. Coe.
 The Chamber of Commerce re- port showed almost nine hundred new hands added in the eight larger factories of Waterbury. The fact that employment has been increasing here has been shown from time to time by surveys made by the Democrat. During the past summer local fac- tories failed to experience their usual seasonal slump.
 As a rule in the brass and cooper industry business falls of during the summer months and picks up late in September or during October. This year factories, for the first time since the "crash" of 1929, kept going at full time and also followed up with five per cent increase in wages to all help.
 That Waterbury is quickly reach- ing its wartime employment level is very apparent. Next months Cham Der of Commerce report is expected to show even more persons taken on, At the present time it is estimated that over l50 men on the local relief rolls have been absorbed by the fac- tories. Mayor Frank Hayes some time ago made 8 personal appeal to the factories to relieve the city and federal governments by picking from the relief rolls when looking for men able to do the work desired.
