CASTLETON, Vt-Susan should
have an easier time at school this
year. Maybe she'll have to study just
as hard, but her teachers won't be
arguing so much over the compara-
tive merits Of the textbooks she should
read.
In fact, Susan can look forward to
peaceful era in education, if the
predictions of Miss Caroline S. Wood
ruff, newly elected president of the
National Education Association, come
true.
No more wrangling, she says. Pro-
gressives have become more conserva-
tive, and conservatives have taken on
a progressive tinge, That brings them
both to the long g-awaited happy me-
dium in education.
Each Side Wins Point.
The Vermont woman-she heads
the State Teachers College at Castle
ton-characterizes the 1878 school
season thus:
Elementary and secondary schools
will be less formalized-score one for
the progressives.
Factual material will continue in
the curriculunl-score one for the
conservatives.
First-hand experiences will supplant
textbook dogma-it's a draw.
In addition, there'll be a great awak-
ening among American educators, Miss
Woodruff predicts. They're going to
get away from petty details, like the
kind of report cards to use and the
number of fire drills to hold, and take
look at educational methods in other
countries. s@~.
Progress in Other Nations.
The National Education Association
will lead the way, she hopes, and even
tually will incorporate into American
educational methods the best ele-
ments of education abroad.
Mexico should be a starting point,
Miss Woodruff feels, for there under
the Cardenas administration as much
money is being spent on nationwide
standardized education as on the army
and navy. The aim of the government
is to have every adult Mexican literate
by 1910. Emphasis is also being laid
on vocational courses.

Prettyman bill, shows attempts were
made in 1916 in the House and in
1921 In the Senate to vest in the
Commissioners the power to appoint
the Board Of Education. None of
these efforts, however, was successful.
1t also was pointed out that the
appointment of the board members
was vested by law not in the District
Court as such, but in the justices as
individuals.
According to data compiled by the
research division of the National Ed
ucation Association on selection of
board members, only three other cities
out of rs queried, with a population

Two plans were tried OUT by Con-
gress prior to approving the appoint
ment of board members by the JUS
tices, both of which failed.
Prior to 1900, the Commissioners
appointed both the superintendent of
schools and the Board of School
Trustees. Constant friction resulted
between the teachers and the super
intendent, and the Senate committee

said the system was not properly or
ganized and that the true remedy, as
far as Congress was concerned, was to
provide a competent, well-organized
Board of Education with well-dehned
powers, which can investigate and
regulate every subject connected with
the management of the public schools" "

MOTORISTS RUSH
 FOR INSPECTIONS
Inspector Lumpkin Much Pleased With Response
 on Opening Day

Waterbury motorists apparently are abiding by the newly coined proverb of the motor vehicle inspec- tors, namely "The early bird catches the worm and keeps out of the last minute inspection rushes," for no sooner had the inspection lane opened here on Thomaston avenue today than local auto drivers swooped down on it to have their cars checked.
 Supervisor William J. Lumpkin was most pleased at the manner in which local motorists responded on the opening day. He an dhis staff came here from Bristol where they completed their checkings on Sat- urday. The station will remain here on Thomaston avenue until July 24, and during that time will be open every day with the exception of Sundays and holidays from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
 An estimate has been made that during the first inspection period of 1887, about 25,00O local automobiles will be checked. With this total in view state statisticianS have com- puted that 300 Waterbury cars must pass through the checkers daily in order to complete the local assign ment with the 25,000 completed.

 MT. Cipriano was a communicant of the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and was a member of the Holy Name society and Glee club of that parish.
 Survivors include his wife. Car mela Cipriano; brother, Salya- tore, of Italy; and a sister, Mrs. Antoinette Cicchetti, of this city.
 The funeral will be held Wednes- day morning at 8:l5 o'clock from the home to the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel where solemn high mass will be celebrated at g o'clock. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery.

 Issues Report For
 Period Of Four Years
Nearly 300 Less Cases on Relief Roll Than in Feb- ruary; Increase in Institutional Cases Attributed to

percentage of the city's population on relief from 2.9e6 for February to 2636 for March.
 Changes Necessary
 Included in the total, however, are some rather extraordinary fluc- tuations. In March the number of persons on full relief is listed as 966 and in February the total was l. 346. This drop indicates that there were many persons from families where some member secured partial employment, such a condition I,eces- sitating the transferral of the case to the partial relief files. This is borne out by the fact that the partial relief persons for March were listed as 1923 as compared to 1907 in February. The increase is small however, for most of the per- sons dropped from the total actually procured private jobs.
 Institutional Cases Also included in the total of 2,6l7 persons receiving relief are 328 irl- stitutional cases. In February there were only 268 institutional cases and the increase in this respect was ex- plained by the fact that during the past month there were many per- sons committed to Brookside. A new ruling to the effect that all children who are being boarded" by the de- partment must now be classified as institutional cases also brought this total up over the 300 mark for March.
 The February report of the state commissioner of welfare showed that Waterbury, with its 2,916 persons on relief, this making for a percentage of 2.9 of the total population on re- lief, was the lowest in the state. No comparative figures have been re- leased at the state office for March but it is believed that the .03% drop recorded here will insure Wa terbury of the low position again this month.

FLOOD DAMAGE IN STATE HIT $7O,9OO
Statistics Being Issued to Better Flood Control
 Measures

Damage caused by the Naugatuck River during the 1936 spring flood amounted to $7O,90O according to a report compiled by the state plan- ming board at the request of Governor Wilbur L. Cross. Con- necticut's total direct flood damage in the flood was $12,838.800, the board estimates, while the economic loss to the state was approximately $36. .0OO 900.
 While the survey was finished late in September 1t was first turned over to the state flood control commis- sion for study. The latter boy used the material in the report in com piling statistics to be submitted to the federal government in connec- ton with the movement for better flood control in this state as well as other states in New England.
 Many rivers in Connecticut are included in the report. However, the Naugatuck river is the nearest one to Waterbury mentioned. The dam ages reported are: Private urban $l ,000; local public highways and bridges, $33,300; other local public damage, $1l,500; industrial. $8,400; commercial, $l,500; railways and trolleys, $l5,000: other public utili- ties, $200.

 The report for the past month shows a total of 2,617 total relief persons, as compared to 2,9l6 for the month of February. This drop of 299 is further proof of the fact that private employment is taking care of many of Waterbury's needy families.
