Old, Universal Problem

The discussions that are being provoked in Hartford these days over school ques- tions are very interesting They should where sensible people gather to discuss pertinent current events. We refer in particular to those arguments over the issue of state aid for parochial schools. A great many people believe that when parochial school is referred to, it means school that is maintained by Roman Catholic church. However, that isn't quite the truth; many private schools in Connecticut are parochial, but are not maintained by this religion Any school maintained by a religious group IS parochial.
 And if the truth of the matter were known there are many different parochial schools in the United States. And all of them at some time or another have been concerned with the question of state aid. In Connecticut there is no state aid for this type of school nor for privately maintained ones. There have been argu- ments put forth to force legislative bodies to include parochial schools in the annual state grants. All come back to the point that school grants are based on total number of students between and l6, public, parochial and private, but only the first-named schools benefit
 Lately Senator George T. Culhane has been concerned with school tranSporta- tion fees These are likewise allotted for public school children, none for parochial. The best arguments are brought forth for and against the cases. But with bow to James w. FitzPatrick he really ad- vances an unanswerable one for the Cath olic side of it. His stand is that the par ocfial and private school should have none of the state aid, because it gives the state a stepping stone toward the day when it will dictate to the parochial and private school what it shall teach, how it's school shall be conducted and diverse other things now reserved to the religious body in charge.
 This thought should always be kept in mind by those who advocate state aid for the parochial and private schools. No matter how much you resent the present unfair situation, keep this other thought uppermost.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-15
Residents Complain

Our attention was called to an item in the Waterbury Democrat last week rel ative to the disposal of refuse by Water vile residents. People up there, accord ing to the story, are complaining because they have no place to dump their refuse. The public dumping place on Hunting don avenue, right near the bridge across the Naugatuck River has been closed. Some time ago the Chase avenue dump was closed. If this is the case it might be necessary for the city to provide some place in the north end of the city where rubbish could be deposited
 But it has occurred to us that event. ually all such places in and around Waterbury will be completely filled up. Perhaps in another ten years the city will be called upon to use other means to get rid of refuse, such as old cans papers, debris, and ashes. In that event we wonder if municipal control of the same will be in order. In many cities in the United States today the disposal of all refuse is municipally controlled House. holders are required to provide them selves with proper containers and to place all debris which they want removed on the curb before their home certain days of the week.
 You don't have to travel far to see this custom in vogue. It's quite interesting to drive through town and see the piles of refuse awaiting removal in the residen- tial districts. All town and city officials don't coincide in the belief that this is service that the community is compelled to give it's citizens, but, nevertheless, it's one that may in time come to pass in Waterbury. The present state of affairs in Waterville, if they be as drastic as re- ported, draws attention to the service.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-15

employees working for us, and what should determine their tenure in old age?
 The same question might be raised in private business, too. To what age should business men continue in positions of authority? And is it merely question of their capacity, or also of social fairness = making way in due time for younger men, giving others the opportunity they haves had? And then there is another group, with whom the age question is still more important. How long shall employees, in office, store and factory, be allowed to work before giving way to younger men?
 Right here we run into a strange and cruel lack of consistency. Business and professional men who think it right and praiseworthy for them to hold their places until 70 or longer are often unwilling to keep an employe after 50, or to hire one past 40 or 45.
