ISTREMLAU GOES ION JOB AT ONCE.
New AppOintee Starts Term on Liquor Board
 Tomorrow

Hartford, Conn, April 3O.-(UP) --State Sen. Julius c. Stremlau, Meriden democrat and former pro- hibition administrator for Connecti- cut, will take office tomorrow as 8 member of the state liquor control commission succeeding Major John Buckley, Union, a republican. The appointment, announced by Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, was for six years, and does not need senate con- firmation. The salary is $6,000 yearly.
 Stremlaus nomination, predicted during the past week, gave demo- crats control of the liquor commits sion for the first time since~ it was organized four years ago. Chairman Frank L. Bergin, New Haven, is a democrat and the third member, former Lieut-Gov. Samuel R. Spencer is republican. Their terms expire in 1899 and 194l, re- spectively.
 Stremlau said he would continue to serve as senator in the general assembly.
 Extreme pressure, it was reported, was brought to bear upon Gov. Cross to appointe a democrat to re- place Buckley, who was active in opposition to the governor during the 1886 campaign. This activity, it was said, made the governor "vul- nerable" if he re-appointed the re- publican.
 Stremlau, born in Germany 60 years ego, came to Meriden when he was 13. He established a cigar making business with his brother. He first was elected to the house in 1913. In 1883. he was elected to the senate and has been reelected twice.
 He was former state WPA labor director and was president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor for four terms.

This is a sketch of Horace
 Mann, who is being honOred
 this year for his contribution to
 development of public schools
 i'm the United States.
 telligence and cooperation {. achieve opportunities for ths masses which in former ages had required violent revolutions"
 The things we take for grant, ed today in regard to public schools all had to be won piece. meal: tax support, elimination oi the "pauper- school idea" making the schools entirely free, estab- lishment of state supervision, elimination of sectaria1lisnl, exs tension of schooling, the state university.
 Classic Reports
 Mann's vision of a Republic supported by citizens, ali of whom had had an equal educational chance to bring out their talents and abilities, remains the key- stone of American public educa- ton.
 \ In 1853, Mann took the job of the presidency of Antioch college, an uncompleted, unheated set of buildings set in southeastern Ohio quagmire. For six years he slaved to make the young college a pioneer in equality for sexes and races in education, of college education not only as scholarship, but as training for life. Mann's sttaue stands today on the campus at Antioch, which is regarded as one of the most progressive of colleges.
 worn out by overwork, Mann became fatally ill.. His last act was to call to his bedside each of the students of the college, and to talk to each one of his future. He was buried on the campus, and on his tomb were inscribed the closing words of his last ad- dress to the graduating class of 1859: T beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my part ing words: be ashamed to die lln- til you have won some victory for humanity"
 Mann,s reports on education are still studied as classics, and many of the aims he yisioned 100 years ago are yet to be realized. To students and all those interested in education who are celebrating the Mann Centennial this sum- mer, Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the journal of the National Edu- cational association, has ad- dressed the words: There is no classroom where the work is not mora effective because he lived"

Praise For Italia1, People Out Easter' Pays Tribute to Splendid Race Impressed by Progressive Spirit Goes "Phil- osophical" on Future Life, Church Services
 Yearns for Proper Guidance

days of Old Out East when few of that particular race lived out here. We recall Joe Gorillo when he kept his first cobbling shop at the corner of East Main and Tay- Tor streets; we remember the fine Tocchio family; we know of the Donderos when they kept an ice cream parlor on East Main street, opposite the old Church of the Immaculate Conception, and where many of us ate a good five cent plate of vanilla cream. We know of the time the great Sumrna family lived on the Wolcott road. But there were few others out this way. Canal street had some, and so did Brooklyn. However, the Italians were few and far between , in the early nineties.
 But note their number today. They rate in Waterbury, according to an estimate given us by those who ought to know, as being close to 35,00O, out of a total population around 1$7,000. Three Roman Catholic parishes and one Protest- ant church look after their spirit- ual welfare.
 s They are a great people, friendly and cordial, and fine neighbors.,
 Think of their property inter- est stoday, among the taxpayers of the city. No wonder they would look for proper recognition in the courts of the state. Their plea is bound to be heard, and must be recognized eventually for the good of and welfare of the state. Perhaps, we'll go to church again some time.
 If we do, we'll again sit among our Italian friends.

When the English held Boston dur
ing the Revolution they put on play
to burlesque Gen. Washington, who
appeared on the stage dressed in the
most uncouth style, with long rusty
sword and attended by several SOL
diers with old rusty guns. Just as
the burlesque Washington stood on
the stage an English officer came
running in, alarm on his face, shout
ing, The Yankees are attacking!'
The audience roared. thinking it a
part OF the farce. but when Gen Howe
stood up with the command, To your

day, one for a double and one

Spell Is Smashed
The left handed spell that
Cleveland had cast over the
Griffs was smashed, and by left
handlers. Lewis made two hits,
one off Brown and one off
Whitehill. He also hit Hudlin
on general principles. Kuhel
and Stone got two blows off the
lefties, as did Travis.
So maybe these southside
SWingers of ours have come to a
realization of the fact that the
ball must be over the plate to
be called a strike, and if its good
enough to be called a strike, its
good enough to be hit.
Day by day in every way it
becomes apparent just how
