W P 4 FUNDS
 FOR STREET
 IMPROVEMENTS

Through an allotment to Wran- geH of WPA funds amounting to $2.300.OO, the Front street fill was completed last week and work done on Weber street which has been closed to traffic for some months, at cost 10 the town of S22796.
 The allotment was the unexpend- cd balance of $4.600.0O from the WPA funds on the project which was started last June but authorized too late to be completely used by June 30, the end of the Govern ment fiscal year.
 The records at the city hall dis close that of the 119 men who ap- piled for the relief work, 100 were certified as being in need. The reg ulations governing the expenditure of the funds stipulated that not more than five percent of the work ers could be non certified men. The wage scale was set at Go cents an hour for common labor and the men restricted to two days work a week The project lasted for three full weeks and a little into the fourth.
 One city truck and three others hired from private owners were used on tie project. The wage scale allowed but $lI a day for truck and driver and as none were avail able in Wrangell under $12 a day, the city paid the difference.
 Adjustments were also made in the matter of paying a driver for the city truck driven by H. M. scribner The project allowed 75 cents an hour for truck drivers, but the wage scale of Wrangell city employees is 60 cents an hour for drivers. So for two days week Scribner worked as a WPA employee at 75 cents an hour and on the other four days drew his pay from the city at 50 cents an hour.
 Clifford Close, street and water commissioner. acted as supervisor of the project, and E. J. Prescott and Art Larson as foremen.
 A resume of how the money was expended follows:

terests of the municipality
 Councilman Hansen of the street committee reported the estimated city-oWned former Columbia Norh- ern building, so that the building could be used. He placed a motion, which was seconded by Cunningham and upon vote carried unanimously, that a new piling and plank street be so built from Front street to the building and such necessary repairs and alterations made to the build ing as to render it of use to the city for housing and storage of the city trucks
 A second motion provided for Call for Bids advertising.
 Harbor Authority
 Councilman Roaming reported that the Harbor Master was having some difficulty regulating the use of the boats at the floats, airplane float, and other uses of the harbor, but did not understand his auth ority to enforce the regulations. The matter was referred to the city clerk.
 An offer having been received from D. L. Wing to buy the vacant city owned lot on McKinnon street formerly the property of c. D. Me. Donald, the clerk was instructed tc inform MT. Wing that the property could not be sold at private sale or his terms but that the city would advertise the lot for public sale i

A Thought for Today
Nine More Buildings

From time to time we have pointed out the advancement and expansion ot Connecticut State College. We have en- deavored to keep our citizens aware or the fact that in the institution at Storrs we no longer have land-grant or agr1- cultural school but full-fledged college capable of providing instruction leading to degrees in many subjects While Con- necticut State College is not university it is rapidly approaching that status and although Dr. Albert N JorgenSen says neither he nor the trustees contemplate university, nevertheless rapid strides towards this status are being made.
 In a recent report Dr. Jorgensen out lined what is planned for the future ot the college It is almost breath-taklng in it's magnitude, yet careful survey of what has been accomplished and what will be done with funds provided in the big state construction program shows that it's more or less a natural growth and not one to cause any undue alarm. Still we are aware of the fact that nlne new buildings are included among the many structures that the public build ing program will provide for Connectl- State College.
 This seems like an enormous expan- sion, but Dr. Jorgensen says that event. ually nine more buildings must be pro- vided No demand for these will be made in funds sought from the 1889 General Assembly, but it is safe to say that the situation and outlook at Storrs will be carefully outlined for all members. And we hope that the members take the time and opportunity to inspect and look into this fine educational plant we have been building up for our high school boys and girls who desire higher schooling. Too often in the past the college has been overlooked by the very men whom we expect to be concerned about it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-23
Teaching Worries

Teachers all over the country can well look with some trepidation at a recent de- cision handed down by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York. The case was long fought out in the courts, but finally resulted in de- cision against grammar school princi- pal for injuries sustained by pupil while leaving the building for luncheon recess. There were many angles to 1t that made the ultimate decision seem most unfair to the principle who actually was not involved in the case at all.
 A brief history of the case shows that the plaintiff, 14-year-old girl, was filing down the exit stairs under supervision of her teacher. As the end of the line was almost to the foot of the stairs, the teacher released the boys who instead of filing down raced down and ran into the last few girls, knocking one of them down. Her parents sued for $125 1000, the Board of Education, principal, and teacher be- ing named defendants.
 The Supreme Court ruled that the Board of Education wasn't liable, but that the principal and teacher were and allowed $4,820 damages. When the appeal was taken to the Appellate Divis- ion this court found that the teacher should not be found liable and held that the principal alone was to blame and raised the damages to $5,164.4O. In it's decision the Appellate Division stated that question of discipline was in- volved and discipline in the school was the duty of the principal, hence his blame for the accident
 But supposing that some one argued that discipline in school was based on discipline at home and that this partic- ular group of boys or the ones involved in the melee showed lack of home re- straint. It would almost seem as if the case could have been widened to include in those responsible the parents of the boys involved. If this New York State ruling is good law, we can we'll imagine what repercuSsionS it might have in edu- cational ranks all over the nation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-23
New World Unity

There seems to be in the Eighth Pan- American Conference more unity than ever before, and more than might have been expected of 21 nations of varied size, language, climate, resources and racial composition. They agree better than any such heterogeneous group could do in any other region on earth. They are not united in spirit as our own states are, but they appear to recognize loose bond based on the same kind of self-interest, and serving the same end, as our own Union.
 There is nothing formal about that bond, and it is better that there should not be. The American nations are grown up children, now masters of their own lives and rulers of their own homes. At that get-together party in Peru they are all clearly "on their own" Our country, eldest ad strongest of the brethren, is sensibly not trying to dominate the party, as it has sometimes been accused of doing in the past. There is no Big Stick. Leadership is open and free
 Thus statesmen of the small nations are encouraged to more participation than usual. From them may come new and strong leaders. The outcome, as it looks now, may be more unaninity and cooperation in this hemisphere, at very critical time, than there was any reason to expect.

A Book a Day
Camera Annual Has Stark Reality
 By BRUCE CATION

Time was when no photograph was deemed worthy of inclusion in a high-toned collection unless it was all arty and fuzzy around the edges If 1t was clearcut, sharp, incisive and easily understandable it just didn't rate. A photograph became art, apparently, only when it ceased to look like a photograph and re- sembled smudgy reproduction of a third-rate painting.
 That nonsense has pretty well vanished, now; and an excellent study of the way photographers are understanding and using the true potentialities of their art is to be found in "U. s. Camera 1939," an expressing collection of modern pho- tographs edited by T. J. Maloney (Morrow: $2.90).
 MT. Maloney remarKs that this book is largely Edward Steichen's MT. Steichen has contributed 8 number of his own photos, and has been largely responsible for the se- lection of the others; and he has written a commentary on what is by all odds the most exciting sec- tion-a collection of photos taken by cameramen of the Farm Secur- ity Administration.
 AS Mfr. Steichen points out, there is nothing arty about these pictures They are living documents-blunt direct pictures of some of the hu- man problems which the FSA en- countered. Share croppers, erosion wrecked farms, faces of the victims of agricultural collapse, poverty portrayed in all its tragic, soul killing ugliness: these pictures have are impace of a cannon ball.
 They are only part of the collec. toni of course. There are the GUS. tomary nudes, snow-scapes DOT traits, industrial scenes, and so on There is group of color photos too. Altogether the book is ar absorbingly interesting collection O the work of Americas skilled cam. eramen..
