(By THE. OUT EAsTER)

The Out Easter likes the Italian people of Waterbury.
 That's the reason he wended his way to the railroad station last Saturday to see them off for the Worlds Fair. True, we didn't know many in the great crowd there, but we did have an opportunity to note the well dressed and well groomed Eddie Mascolo, lawyer, and former judge of the city court, once, an Out aster him. self, and others just like him, including our new mayor, Pa trick PerTiellu. And we must not forget Nick Jamele, always around, where Italian people gath CT, properly dressed for the oc- casion with 8 good sized fall flow CT dangling from the lapel of his well-fftting sack coat.
 What a Merry Lot of People!
 And what a Joyous lot of men, women and children. A special train of a dozen cars waiting for them to get aboard. We felt pleas ed and happy, just as much as they themselves.
 And Why Shouldn't We?
 Didn't it make us think back to the days when the Irish people of Waterbury used to do the same thing, the days of the annual ex- cursion of St. Joseph's T. A. So- ciety to Coney Island, yes and even before that the time the members of the Old Mems Tenn perance Society took their wives and children to Savin Rock an nually by way of the steam road to New Haven, and then by trolley to the Rock.
 The T. A. Society's annual af- fair took away annually for years 2,500 people, most of whom were members of the various Irish fam lilies of the city. And oh, what a day 1t was to them, and others of us who joined them in this yearly event. The old club house on East Main St. was ablaze with lights the night before the trip, for the accommodation of those who wanted tickets at the last movement. And the next day, we all walked down to the old Nau- gatuck railroad station on. Bank St. boarded a train for Bridge port at about 6:30 in the morning, with shoe box or two under our arm filled with sandwiches and other eatables, in preparedness for the long sail on the steamer,

. part of the federal security agen- cy. As administrator of that agency ] welcome the opportunity to greet the educators of this country.
 The public schools are organized within the framework of govern ment-locai, state, and national. They are in fact 8 most vital inter- est of government. As parents, citi- zens care for nothing else so much as for the education of their chil- dren. AS voters, citizens rely upon no other agency so much as upon the schools to raise the quality of citizenship.
 Schools Must Be Free to Educate
 And yet, though a part of gov- ernment, and rooted deep in the esteem of the citizens who support tn government, the schools are in 8 sense outside the government. While the schools are subject to control by government-mainly local and state government - the people of ell political parties need always to understand that in a democracy the schools must be free to educate. Any time that the schools, including the colleges and universities, feel restraint on their freedom exerted by the political leaders in power or by any pressure group, the torch which the schools are expected to hold aloft to light the way of democ- racy is dimmed. take pride in the reputation which the U. s. office of education has maintained during the 72 years since it was established and down to date for nonpartisan service to the cause of education and to the nation as whole. am de- termined that it shall enjoy free- dom as great professional agency. Only those who hold partisanship above public welfare will ever use their political positions to restrict or distort learning and thus block the march of truth.

Free Schools Essential In Ed Educational Scheme
Paul McNutt, Federal Security Administrator, Makes Public Declaration on American Education Plans

s'But truth is not always easy to find" Mir. McNutt emphasizes. Tn the search for 1t, and in even the most conscientious efforts to teach 1t, teachers and professors s0me- times lose their way and find them selves confused. That is inevitable if truth is to be sought in the areas of controversy. The public must be . tolerant of, these mistakes. But in thc same spirit teachers must recog- Enize controversy and not be dog matic. If they hope. for the support of tolerant public they must play their part, as guidse, not as parti- sans-frankly. and, above all, hon. est1y. Tn their classrooms they must be teachers, opening the way to complete understanding, not advo- cates who seek to secure agreement with their personal opinions.
 s Will Endure
 Practice in the weighing of evi- dence, the balancing of the pros and cons, is the first requirement. in the training for civic duties. What t. believe at any moment. is gen. erally less important than how to determine what to believe. It taxes the skill of the best teacher to make this practice in weighing evidence seefn genuine to his pupils. But of one thing there can be no doubt: Ttc teacher must delve into the realities tnf the rfYf7ns1t Socia1 ec0- homie, and political situations, end must adapt his methods and mate rials to the age levels of his pupils.
 With schools free. from the stifl- ing control of partisanship and pressure grUups, and with the teach CTS carryiny- out with ability an6 with integrity their indispensable roles as moiders of tomorrow's citi- zens," MT: McNutt declares, "the United States can demonstrate to the world that democracy so but tressed will endure"

In '39 Set Mark
Commerce Department
Lists 22,513 Croft
In First 6 Months

A record number Of 22,513 motor
boats, the bulk of them recrea-
tional craft, were added to Federal
waters of the United States during
the first six months of 1899, the
National Association Of Engine and
Boat Manufacturers has announced.
The previous mark for this period
was set last year with 10000 boats.
The gain in recreational boating
this year has been general through
out the country. the manufacturers
organization stated, pointing to an
increase of more than 18 per cent
in numbered motor boats on inland
rivers, l4l2 per cent on the Great
Lakes, nearly IL per cent along the
Gulf OF Mexico and 10 per cent on
the Pacific Coast.
Detroit Makes Largest Gains.
The largest individual port gain
was at Detroit. Mich, where 1852
new numbers were issued by the
customs house during the first halt
of the year. Seven other ports had
increases of more than 1000 new
craft, including New York with
1873, San Francisco, 466; Cleve-
land, 1859: Seattle, 1.34l; Milwau-
kee, 1889; st. Louis, Mo, l,l9l, and
Tampa. Fla, 1,0l1.
The 22.5l3 motor boats added to
waterways under Federal control
represents only those craft num-
bered by the Department of Com
merce. Other new boats-inboards
outboards and sail-totaling addi-
! tional thousands, have been placed
in use this year on inland lakes
beyond Federal control.
Outboard Industry Rooms.
The outboard industry alone is
expected to produce more than
| 10000 new outboard motors during
1899. An indication of growing
boating interest on inland lakes is
given by the State of New Hamp-
shire, which expects registrations
to reach 5000 boats this year. some
600 more than the record attained
in 1888.

and several other brands, and in
fact the only important semi
tropical game fish that hasn't been
landed at Ocean City is tarpon. No
broadbill have been taken, but they
are not a warm water fish anyway,
their general hangout being more to
the north.
They are found off the shore
of Long Island and Jersey. SO
there Is possibility that
eventually some will be caught
near Ocean City.
As for odd experiences, they are
legion. and one that happened
aboard the boat operated by Capt.
jim Whaley will serve as an ex-
ample. The angler had hooked his
fish and was having tough battle
when suddenly the reel froze. Capt.
Whaley cut the line and tied 1t to
another rod and reel, from which
the angler played the marlin until
it was ready to come along.
Some Of the line was reeled back
on the spool until the spool was full,
and so again the line had to be cut.
The other reel still was frozen so
the angler had to hand-line his fish.
The still active marlin made a good
battle of it and cut the anglers hand
in several places so that he needed
medical attention before the day
was over, and by the rarest luck q
doctor was a member of the party.
North Woods Trout Fishing.
Trout fishing around here is closed
tighter than drum, but some
places still are enjoying excellent
late-season trouting. Dick Place
from up in New Hampshire wires
the good news about the famous
Breton Woods area. Rainbows and
squaretails are running to 16-inch
average in the Ammonoosuc River,
he says, with both wet and dry flies
working as lures. A Boston angler
landed rainbow of 1914 inches
last week that weighed 2 pounds 6
ounces.
That catch is the largest so far
in the Mount Washington area and
leads in the contest for the trophy
offered by the New England Mu-
scum of Natural History.
It will be mounted and ex-
hibited at the New Hampshire
exhibit at the Worlds Eair.

August Tough for Dogs.
Probably this month of August is
about as hard on a dog or puppy
as any month of the year. While
that scourge OF the earlier summer
months, ticks. has abated somewhat,
feaS and lice are more numerous
than at any time. and efforts should
be redoubled to keep them down.
Good flea powders. some
sprays, baths with some dis
infectants. thorough combing
and brushing and cleanliness
of quarters, all help in miti-
eating these pests.
Even more important than clean.
wholesome, regular meals during
this month is an adequate supply
OF fresh, cool water. Water that
has been standing for hours in the
sun cannot take the place of fresh
water although dogs will drink 1t
for want of better.
Almost equally important is shade
in the middle of the day. A place
to dig into the cool earth in the
shade of tree or porch or building
OF some kind is what a dog really
wants. Confinement to the base
ment of a house during the heat
OF the day is a good idea where dig
ging in the shade is taboo. Young
puppies particularly should not be
allowed to tear around and exercise
while the sun is high. The rule for
exercise should be before 10 and
after 5.
