lie not to advertise what has been done by teachers-they are only too willing to aid-but to acquaint the men and women of Water bury with a few facts not cov- cred by the Griffenhagen Report, the authors of which regard pu- pills and teachers as so many in- animate objects which may be moved willy-nilly through the schools, eliminated here, discard ed there, and grouped somewhere else in order to tighten the city's financial load. Inexperienced in dealing with children, lacking in vision, seeing only the penny saved today, blind to the dollar which must be spent tomorrow to counteract the foolish economy of yesterday, they recommend the adoption of measures which will make it impossible to continue the insight and the supervision which enables teachers and prin- cipalS to discover and help those in need.
 Playing Their Part
 In, addition to their contribut- ions to the Mutual Benefit Aid Association, the teachers, since 1929, have worked valiantly to combat the various ills resulting from the depression. Every prin- cipal could tell, if forced, what was accomplished in his or her building and tale would read like this:
 l. Contributions of fuel, bed- ding, shoes, plus dozens of new garments and hundreds of used garments that little children might be comfortable.
 2. Daily provision of lunches Of milk, sandwiches, and codliver oil that little children might bet ter resist hunger and disease.
 5. Weekly standing orders of food for families insufficiently cared for by the local welfare agencies.
 4. Employment of high school students in the homes of teachers after school-hours so that these boys and girls might have food, 1 shelter, and warmth without sac rificing their self-respect.
 5. Arrangements made with a local bakery to furnish leftover food without cost to a family in i dire need.
 6. Contributions of two and a half dollars per teacher every Christmas in one large school for the purchase of boys and girls shoes by a local social service bureau.
 2. Purchase of glasses for chil- dren whose visiona was seriously affected.
 8. Discovery, conference with parents, and referral to clinics o1 children suffering from asthma nervousness, and from eye, ear throat. and glandular difficulties 9. Hours of telephoning anc consulting with nurses, social ser vice agents, and dispensaries rela tive to the necessary treatment and correction of physical defects
 Priceless Gift The above are but a few in cidents which indicate the scope of what was done and is beins done daily in our schools thaI children may possess that price. less gift-health!
 But the time and opport,nit, required to discover the need. and to help the worthy are regu. lated by the teaching load anC the type of class. The Griffen. hagen Recommendations point thu way to saving dollars and cents but will the dollars and cents thu saved proved worhty substitut' for the interest, sympathy, ans service which have been scatteres far and wide by the teachers O Waterbury during this weary de cade?

an "Asiatic Monroe Doctrine" which seeks to preserve "Asia for the Asiatics."
 The Holy Alliance which trou- bled Monroe in 1923 consisted of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and France. This alliance had author ized French military intervention in Spain to restore Ferdinand VII to absolute power. It was this ob- ject lesson which caused fear of European transatlantic steps to invahdate the independence of Spain's former colonies in the New World.
 Foreign Policies Aggressive
 Today, there is not a correspond ing grouping of European powers, but the rise of powerful totalitarian states, with excess population and aggressive foreign policies, caused a new sense of intranquility and de- sire for security in the Western World.
 In 1888 as in 1923, it is the con- tradiction between political philos- ophies that disturbs American statesmen most keenly. The United States at that time had definitely passed away possibility of mon- archial reslrgence, but the new Spanish-American states 2 were a quarter century younger, in some cases less secure in their republican philosophy, while Brazil had just emerged as an independent empire. The Monroe Doctrine, therefore, timed generally to strengthen dem- ocratic sentiment on this continent. Today the philosophy of democratic representative government wars with the philosophy of absolutist and centralized regimes.
 In 1888 the United States seeks to strengthen the solidarity of the American republics by Pan Amer ican cooperation based on jurid- ical equality and on-intervention. ] defense unity, and through navy
